Heretic - Lyrics - Naked Empire

This book opens with Richard and Kahlan still in the Old World traveling back to the New World. A new character Owen pleads for Richard and Kahlanâs help in freeing his people from the hands of the Imperial Order. They are set upon by a seemingly mysterious dust storm that holds the silhouette of a man. They are sent a warning letter by Nicci, but before they are able to finish reading the letter they are set upon by Imperial Order Mercenaries. After learning that Richard has been poisoned by Owen they must travel back deeper into the Old World to the Bandakar. They find an ancient boundary protecting the Bandakar Empire from outside invaders came down two years past and now the Imperial Order has occupied this nation of frail-minded people. Soon Richard and Kahlan learn of a new monster that was created by Jagangâs Sisters of the Dark.

There's *** in the streets from the wars of our countries For all of our women and children to see Their lives will go on like there is nothing wrong While the secrets of leaders of nations go on and on... The sickness of the world has infected our dreams And our strengths and our faith and god-given beliefs But we cannot fight, what we cannot see We'll sit and we'll listen and try not to think... Help me stop this, help me please We're all dying, no one believes me While children are dying and starving for food We're breathing in air that our cities pollute We'll search for the divine that our science disproves We're stuck here we're trapped left with nowhere to move... But Clarity comes for the prices we'll pay While our logic and reason make consciences fade But certainly someone will rise up to save us We'll vote and elect, there's no one to change us... Help me stop this, help me please We're all dying, no one believes Help me stop this, help me please We're all dying, no one believes me But no one believes me But no one believes me
