Slow Motion

You were busy promoting
Your hatred speech
I was busy imploding
Nothing I could reach
And it was like slow motion when the time came
I had drank your poison potion made of acid rain

You were what they wanted
Had the loudest voice
I was closed and guarded
You gave me no choice
And it was like slow motion when the day came
I had built up my devotion to you just the same

You talked a good game then
You made us all believe
When the judgment day came
That we would all be saved
We lifted up our hands then
We waited for a sign
But the magic was gone
We were very wrong

You could find any weakness
You stored them away
But to us you were sweetness
We had all been played
Still it was like slow motion when the time came
Would have done anything you wanted without any shame

You were like a shepherd
And we were nothing but sheep
You held us in a spell
And put our will to sleep
And you were all we needed
We could conquer all the pain
But in the end disaster waited in the rain
