Wiseman by The Minstrel Lyrics
Wake up in the confines
Of social demise
Where corruption has taken
Everybody's lives
A shade of white
Another mind
Has gone dim all from
A square-shaped light
We've lost our sight
Of what is right
And soon we all will make
One final plight
Another try
Another lie
Will push us all the way
To die
They say that karma's out to get you
But do something right it will befriend you
Get to know yourself, and stay true
Only you know what you have gone through
It's time to go, swim out of the deep blue
Free yourself from the chains wrapped around you
Once you have you'll know what you must do
You have to go out and tell the truth
'Cause the truth may hurt, but it will set you free
And these are the keys to your destiny
It's time to go, follow your dreams
And life will be there for you to see
The truth will hurt, but you will be pleased
It's not easy to see, but there's true beauty
This code is etched in my being
And it's the way I'll be
I wanna be the Wiseman
The one that holds the truth so dear
And I wanna be the Wiseman
To share true knowledge with my peers
I'm gonna be the Wiseman
The one who holds in all my shame
And I'm gonna be the Wiseman
I'll take all secrets to my grave
I resist the ignorance, basking in the wisdom
Repelled by it's pestilence
So I can try the tides
I'll live on with this death wish, and if I can't look back with
Feelings of accomplishment
That's when I've lost my mind
I give time to coexist, and I have seen the
Appeal of the seven sins
It's why we cross the line
I don't think I'll make it out alive unless I pry through
All these petty little lies
This is where I'll die
Time is just an endless trip, and life reflects upon the
Way in which you look at it
Gaze into giant lies
Lies are just an easy twist, that will eat you up the
Second that you screw with it
It's never satisfied
Lives are taken every tick, and people's minds are taken
Away within every click
I know, it happened with mine
Now I'm getting sick of it, at the brutal way in
Which we try to deal with it
It's why we can't fly
'Cause the truth may hurt, but it will set you free
And these are the keys to your destiny
It's time to go, follow your dreams
And life will be there for you to see
The truth will hurt, but you will be pleased
It's not easy to see, but there's true beauty
This code is etched in my being
And it's the way I'll be
I wanna be the Wiseman
The one that holds the truth so dear
And I wanna be the Wiseman
To share true knowledge with my peers
I'm gonna be the Wiseman
The one who holds in all my shame
And I'm gonna be the Wiseman
I'll take all secrets to my grave
SOLO
'Cause the truth may hurt, but it will set me free
Now watch me relinquish my misery
It's time for me to go follow my dreams
And see what fate has put out there for me
Truth will hurt, but I'm sure I'll be pleased
As long as I keep some faith in humanity
This code is etched in my being
And it's the way I'll be
I wanna be the Wiseman
The one that holds the truth so dear
And I wanna be the Wiseman
To share true knowledge with my peers
I'm gonna be the Wiseman
The one who holds in all my shame
And I'm gonna be the Wiseman
I'll take all secrets to my grave
