Misconceptions
The eyes of a traitor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me up as high as you want,
I'll always fall straight back down.
Life hasn't caught up with me,
Supremely and obliged.
Waged war to a hypocrite nation
Torn well wide of the lines.
The fathers on men should be warned of this day,
Take those rules guided by the cloth.
You will soon understand that you can twist,
And turn them with these different eyes.

Hold me up as high as you want,
I'll always fall straight back down.
Step up!
I will strike you down and throw you to the wolves,
And I will strike you down.
This world will have it's Armageddon
Take a mightier opinion.
A clear perception and take note, not to believe.
A book can be imagination but misread
Hundreds of minds wronged, one writer is strong.
