Opposite him, the wise man is both a pariah and a messiah, a figure who dominates with ignorance, using rhetoric and false promises to manipulate others. Despite some believing in his lies, the character in the song sees through the deception. They know that his actions are wrong, and by the end of the song, they seek revenge.
