I've been away for a long while. The album is pretty much mastered. This song will not go on it. It doesn't fit. Maybe the next one.

Another song I woke up from a dream with a snippet in my mind. First two lines. Although in the dream, the word was "Death". I changed it to "Love" to write the song.

The rest just flowed, like a gift from the Universe. Kind of like "Alive".

Anyway, I made it a classic rock song. Trying for the "Gypsy"/"Moody Blues" prog-rock direction.

Me on the vocals. Oh, and the cowbell :-) You think it needs more? :-D

(Phil Leith 7/2020)

Have you heard the people
Who talk of love but tell the same old lies?
Can you see the evil?
Your vision helps you see through the disguise

The Newspeak Mafia (hypochondria)
Burning down history in the streets [to bring a]
New Utopia (narco-euphoria)
Where no one can ever disagree

Can you feel the chill?
The cold wind brings a darkness here to fight
Smell the decay
The crumbling of two thousand years of light

A new triumphant vision (substitute religion)
The social justice warrior creed
Is based on division (intentional incision)
Opening wounds just to watch them bleed

[Break (full verse and bridge)]

Have you tasted freedom?
To do your thing and say what's on your mind?
Do you know the lies
That promise peace and bliss but rob you blind?

[Break 2 (bridge only)]

Have you heard the people
Who talk of love but tell the same old lies?
