When Musicians are Prophets

Ever Heard of Metal Church?
Probably not. They were just another 80's metal band that didn't come out on top.
This is unfortunate. They were prophets. Here are the lyrics from the album Blessing in Disguise:

Cannot Tell A Lie


[K. Vanderhoof]

On the pedestal you stand of promises to keep
I can make the changes and keep you off the streets
I will never let you down, together we can win
All I need is your support, the funds keep flowing in

I am the one who will make all the difference
I am the one who cannot tell a lie

My opposition tells you that I am the bad guy
But I have done some research in his private life
I feel that it's my duty to let the people know
I know it's no one's business, I destroy to get a vote

I am the one who will make all the difference
I am the one who cannot tell a lie

Raise those banners, raise those flags
Raise your wages, raise your hands
No more war, all at peace
I have the solution to all the nation's needs
Hail to government, hail to liberty
Hail to God above, hail to me
No more war, all at peace
I am the solution to what this nation needs

My missile proposition is effective as can be
No trades for arms for hostages, no Star Wars shit for me
I'm an average person, blue collar all the way
Everyone will have a job, just cast your vote my way

"Hail to government, hail to liberty
Hail to God above, hail to me
"

Remind you of anyone? I'll give you a hint...
The Messiah
Now who is it?
When we begin to listen to what is being said and process it through an understanding of what is true, then we begin to realize that the nature of our political system is not only predictable, but outright dangerous.
Of course I could bore you with dissertations of the fear and loathing that is the mantra of the right in reference to O. But he's just a man. He can't heal the sick or make the blind to see. He is after what all in Washington are after... Power. Unadulterated and unlimited.
Have no fear, the truth will out and the party will end. Hopefully in 2 years.
The real reason I write is that I want all of us to see clearly. Not only what is in front of us but what is behind. Digitally mastered on a bright shiny disc that is calling to us from the past...
I am the one who will make all the difference. I am the one who cannot tell a lie...
