The Great Pretender Songtext
von The Flower Kings

Open your eyes
You′re in state of denial
Not a time to hide
From a world that's frightening
Find a way to get back
While your hands may tremble
All your calls for help, will return to sender
So frightening, there′s no silver lining

Open your eyes
Now restore the splendor
Better say your goodbyes to the great pretender

So frightening, there's no silver lining
Open up, Open up
Somethings not quite right
Open your eyes and try to remember


Overhearing this commotion
There's a slow and steady motion
There are sides that always blind you
Where the channels he can find you
As you′re trying to remember
You were once a great pretender
While the urchins need your silence
See the bigger hands will find you

Open your eyes to the bight lights of sobriety
Colors are true, Colors are true
Over the hilltops you will fly to find remedies
So much older and brighter, and you made me see riding through
Open your eyes, Try to remember
Whilst the world at war, Battle grief and slumber
Hold on to what′s yours, come on hello come on high water
Hell, High water
Hell, High water

Open up your eyes, Its time to change the sight

Oh lord, You stand to crown and don't forget
Oh lord, The time is perfect was your ray
Oh lord, Bless waiting so just come and grab it

Us waiting to just come and grab it
Us waiting to just come and grab it
Us waiting to just come and grab it
