Perceptions - Fades Away

     I heard this song the other day, and I went crazy over how much I liked it! This song is "Perceptions" by Fades Away. The theme is the hypocritical Pharisees as they get ready to stone the repentant sinners.

Living the good life

You're so cool

It's easy to condemn the outside

Nothing can hinder your crusade

To purify the morally insane

Thank God you're not like them

With your hands held high

And perfection within

You're so much more worthy

(You're so deserving)

If you're so holy, take your place

And draw the first blood from me

When you cast that stone,

I'll try not to see your name

Sitting upon your judgement throne

Awaiting the next sick arrival

Waving your finger in the air

Assuming everyone is unaware

You're just as sick as the rest,

With your backbone gone and a hole in your chest

You perfect disaster

(You perfect disease)

If you're so holy, take your place

And draw the first blood from me

When you cast that stone,

I'll try not to see your name

(Your name)

When this is over,

And all the damage has been done

The weak will rise (the weak will rise)

And stand as one.

We are the helpless

We're growing stronger every day

We're not alone (We're not alone)

We're not afraid.

If you're so holy (holy, holy),

Take your place (your place, your place),

And draw the first blood from me

When you cast that stone,

I'll try not to see your name

(Your name)
