Hear tidings from the house
Hear what the lords have learned
Hear about truths and legends
Hear about power and honesty
See the mirror that distorts
See how it turns sand into gold
The surprised are on trial
And now people are talking about guilt
Pariah, pariah, untouchable
Rejected and denied
Now in his own right
I blame you for the plague
That rages in our time
You curse he who speaks up
And walks his own path
So sit there on your high horses
And look down with greed
But for the love of god, don't forget
Those who gave you power
Pariah, pariah, untouchable
Rejected and denied
Now in his own right
I see how you school the people
And treat everyone equally
Some shall be poor
And others shall be rich
I don't watch, I predict
How mares1 every night
Will ride your souls
And play catch
Pariah, pariah, untouchable
Rejected and denied
Now in his own right
Pariah, pariah, untouchable
Rejected and denied
Now in his own right
Pariah, pariah, untouchable
Rejected and denied
Now in his own right
