about

You Were Lied To has a doom or goth rock vibe to it, but still speaks a powerful message about how we have been lied to by so many people and institutions. The song has a haunting yet melodic feeling while still rocking the sounds. The hypnotic bass line will suck you in while encouraging to open your mind to question what you have been taught and find out the truth for yourself instead of blindly believing people and the institutions.
If you want more understanding of the song, please watch the Youtube video at The Resistance official band of Phoenix Wise.

lyrics

Verse 1:
When you were young, you were so vulnerable.
Then you grew up, and you were so gullible.
You believed in the things that you were told
You put your faith in ideas you can’t even prove

Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To

Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to

Verse 2:
Religion is a scam just to get your money
The government doesn’t want you to be free
Believe what you want however you should know
Ignorance and apathy are just as evil

Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To

Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to

Guitar Solo

Verse 3:
The history that you learned never happened
The education that you got was manufactured
Addictions and entertainment keep you blind
Overpopulation and pollution will end our time

Bridge:
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To
See Now The Truth
You Were Lied To

Chorus:
Open your eyes and see what’s real
Now is the time for you to feel
See now the truth
You were lied to
