Eris Discordia - Ayatollah's Illusion Lyrics

You fancy yourself a leader, a man of faith and truth
But all I see is a deceiver, a peddler of false proof
You claim to speak for God, but your actions speak instead
Of a man drunk on power, with delusions in his head
You could have been a uniter, a bridge across divides
But you chose the path of the divider, with your rhetoric and your lies
You play on people's fears, their hopes and their beliefs
But your true nature is clear, beneath your holy sheaths
Ayatollah's illusion, a mirage of piety
Ayatollah's illusion, hiding your anxiety
You know your time is ending, the people see your game
Your hold is fast descending, your legacy is shame
You talk of strength and power, but your actions reek of fear
You lash out at your neighbors, to distract from the tears
Of the people you oppress, with your rules and your decrees
You're just a frightened man, behind a holy frieze
You had a chance for greatness, to lead Iran with grace
But you squandered it on hatred, on maintaining your place
You could have been remembered, as a leader wise and just
But now you'll be dismembered, your name dragged through the dust
Ayatollah's illusion, a mirage of piety
Ayatollah's illusion, hiding your anxiety
You know your time is ending, the people see your game
Your hold is fast descending, your legacy is shame
I am Eris, the revealer, of the truths that lie within
I see past your facade, to the fear beneath your skin
You know your days are numbered, that the people have awoken
They see through your illusions, your promises all broken
The youth are not your pawns, to move upon your board
They're the future of Iran, and they will not be ignored
They'll rise up from the ashes, of the ruins you've created
And build a new Iran, where your name will be berated
Ayatollah's illusion, your facade is crumbling
Ayatollah's illusion, the people are not mumbling
They're shouting out for change, for a future free and bright
Your reign of lies is strange, and it's ending in the night
So cling to your illusions, your delusions of control
The people are not fooled, they see your blackened soul
Your legacy is failure, your future is disgrace
In the annals of despair, you'll have a special place
But Iran will rise without you, free from your deceit
A nation proud and true, where people can be complete
So enjoy your final hours, your last dance on the stage
For the curtain falls on you now, and ends your feeble age
