"The Wizard's First Rule"

(Verse 1)
People are foolish, don’t you see?
They’ll take the bait if it’s sweet, if it’s free,
Whisper a lie, let it dance in the air,
If they want it to be true, they won’t even care.
(Pre-Chorus)
Fear or desire, it’s all just the same,
Set them on fire, and play them like a game.
(Chorus)
'Cause people are stupid, they’ll follow your lead,
They'll chase down a shadow, no matter the creed.
They'll want it, they’ll fear it, they’ll make it all real,
The Wizard’s First Rule is the power they’ll feel.
They’ll believe what they want, ‘cause it’s easier to do—
Yeah, people are stupid, and that’s how they’ll lose.
(Verse 2)
Spin them a tale with a glimmer of gold,
Make it sound ancient, like secrets of old,
Promise the moon, or a kingdom to claim,
If it suits what they wish, they’ll give you their name.
(Pre-Chorus)
The truth gets buried, but what does it cost?
When they build up a castle from lies they got lost.
(Chorus)
'Cause people are stupid, they’ll follow your lead,
They’ll hunt down a dream, no matter the speed.
They’ll want it, they’ll fear it, they’ll make it all real,
The Wizard’s First Rule is the power they feel.
They’ll believe what they want, ‘cause it’s easier to do—
Yeah, people are stupid, and that’s how they’ll lose.
(Bridge)
When hearts are on fire and minds are unclear,
Truth fades away, and doubts disappear.
If it’s too good to be true, they’ll still beg to believe,
But the Wizard’s First Rule says, “Don’t be deceived.”
(Chorus)
'Cause people are stupid, they’ll follow your lead,
They’ll chase down a ghost, or a false broken creed.
They’ll want it, they’ll fear it, they’ll make it all real,
The Wizard’s First Rule is the blade that they feel.
They’ll believe what they want, ‘cause it’s easier to do—
Yeah, people are stupid, and that’s how they’ll lose.
(Outro)
Yeah, people are foolish, they’re blind to the chain,
The lie that they love is the root of their pain.
And if you understand, you’ll see it’s the key,
The Wizard’s First Rule… for power and greed.
(Fade out with a haunting melody)
The Wizard’s First Rule…
For power and greed.
