The Speech Of A Politician

[Kellhus]

The Speech Of A Politician
Famous words have been said
Staring into your eyes
Scanning the audience
A distant fervor in their utterances

Syllable after syllable
Pulling you to their view
Convincing you thoroughly
That they can help

They are lies that speak the truth
Truths that turn to lies
Well meant ulterior motives
They change with each area's time

Integrity is forfeit
With each tune these songbirds sing
They mean well to aid you
Only temporary comfort is achieved

Aid and Comfort
Two very different things
One is what you vote for
The other is for your vote
