Lies in the Sand (The Ballad Of..)

There’s a man, who says there is a light in the sky
All my friends say he’s telling a lie
But he speaks with such passion that I have to think about
And his hands… well they tremble as he points it out
But I can’t see what it’s all about
And the voices of many are singing along it seems
Is it all something new, and will I see it too?
Or is this just continuing man?
Throughout all history claiming they all can see
But the evidence falters just short of my hand
And there are lies in the sand
There’s a man who says he was a satanic beast
And the many were there at his feet
And he scared all the people, 'cause he was just what we want
Is it all something new, and will I see it too?
Or is this just continuing man?
Making more history, claiming they all can see
But the evidence falters just short of my hand
And there are lies in the sand
There are things that will surely seem as they are not
And I might not know all that I’ve got
But the bluffing is easy, and I haven’t seen your hand
