Official lyrics for "liar" Verse 1: You’re a liar with no face Moving from place to place Don’t know how to be true to yourself Raise the bar a little higher Kill every bit of cynic in you For those fighting for the brighter And keep fighting, keep fighting Chorus: You say, “it’s in the name of greater good” But we know, it’s not yours (to give) You take cover in your greed and indulgence Yeah? It’s in the name of a greater good Verse 2: I don’t need your lonely help, self-loving righteous You ‘ll never be satisfied, with your appetite for power You have the talent to hold on to whatever comes your way Your social gatherings, they'll praise you one by one Chorus: You say, “it’s in the name of greater good” But we know, it’s not yours (to give) You take cover in your greed and indulgence Yeah? It’s in the name of a greater good Bridge: Those that are hiding in the shadows Will find nothing but despair They’ll run after vanity thinking it’s their savior Outro: I don’t need your lonely help You’re a liar with no face

about

'Holy Fool' is the first full album by Ukrainian-American indie-rock band Vinok. The 11-track album has been in the works over the past two years. Each song has a unique story to tell and addresses social justice issues ranging from disability rights to feminism, politics, and religion.

“Our musical endeavors in this album are a pathway to reveal the insanity of the world in a creatively insane manner,” said Nathalie lead vocalist of the band.

'Holy Fool' was mixed by sound producer and engineer Paul ‘PDub’ Walton who worked with legends such as Bjork, U2, Madonna, Massive Attack, Birdy, and The Cure. The album was mastered by Rudy Martinez, who is a voting member of the Grammys as well as an active member of the Audio Engineering Society.
