Devil Disguised

Is a dream just a dream when you wake up with a scream

or is it the devil’s disguise?

Can we trust the president when he looks us in the eyes

or is he the devil disguised?

 

I was there when the jets screamed through the air

and set the fire of war to the night.

I was there when the children screamed despair.

God help me, I was on the devil’s side.

  

Is a dream just a dream when you wake up with a scream

or is it the devil’s disguise?

Can we trust the chosen one when he looks us in the eyes

or is he the devil disguised?

 

I was there the night our soldiers died,

and I held all the parents (families) who cried.

I was there when streets ran with civilian blood,

and I saw through the devil’s disguise.

  

Hiding in us somewhere, a dream I am told

Hiding in us somewhere, I know it’s the devil of old.

  

I was there the night our soldiers died,

and I held all the parents (families) who cried.

I was there when the children screamed despair.

and I saw through the devil’s disguise.

 

Is a dream just a dream when you wake up with a scream

or is it the devil’s disguise?

Can we trust authority when it stabs us in our eyes

or is it the devil disguised?

Will we see the devil’s disguise?

Will we strip the devil’s disguise?

Are we all the devil disguised?
