Oh, mortal beings, pray do heed
My words, not divine, but mere seed
Of thought, not gospel nor creed
For I am not god, but flesh and breed
My words are but humble, indeed
So listen, but do not mislead
For truth lies not in what I plead
I'm but a mortal, stop believing my words, indeed

Though I held my head up high,
And spoke with poise and grace,
My words were nothing but a lie,
And my smile a false embrace.

For though I played the part with care,
And acted with conviction,
The truth is that I must declare,
But I was faking it with diction
