The False Prophet

I had most of this song recorded a couple of weeks ago, but then I got ill. Consequently, I had no head voice to record the harmony until yesterday.

We have had megalomaniacs, past and present, who attract masses that follow them with messianic devotion. You can take you pick for whomever you want the song to be about.

Lyrics

I’ve been stirring the waters into wine
Send your leather-bound scriptures for me to sign
Close your eyes and your ears and march into line

I’ll do what I want to do
I’ll say what I want to say
It doesn’t matter to me
As long as I have my way
I always need to have my way

Bend the knee and glorify my name
Take the leap. I’ll give you power and fame
Follow me and I’ll leave you all of the blame

I’ll do what I want to do
I’ll say what I want to say
It doesn’t matter to me
As long as I have my way
I always need to have my way

Kiss the ring in obeisance
While I stoke anger and fear
All the truth has been forsaken
The skies bleed with the angels’ tears
