There is only one truth
Believe that as you would believe the sun And when the final shot of the rifle rings in your ear When all that you see begins to fade As time slows down and in that instant of change you fall You will realise the truth untouched May you have the courage to face your fears And wash away the troubled coat of uncertainty To begin another verse of your sanity To recall that which has happened before is true If little is what much can become When all that is begets another truth variably To the extent that what you understand to be Is only as subtle as the force within As the days become unearthed to defiance And the nights repel all senses but one Will the lever of age reveal a hint of a condition That rarely is seen but is as cancer One becomes two becoming more Forever the faucet of life deteriorating

In times when hope is wavering
In places of dark despairing When evil doth copulate The demon will rule us all In cities drowned deep in failing In cultures quickly corroding When people are obdurate The demon will rule us all In morals become degrading In justice no longer serving When truth becomes subjugate The demon will rule us all Watching reality
Living in clarity Moving with parity Joining humanity Talk of morality Change personality Welcome insanity Such is causality Enter infinity Standing with dignity Replace your vanity Have some humility Never have I waved tomorrow
Saying; "Love, goodbye" Never have I wept in sorrow Beneath the velvet sky So much beauty, so much new So much hope and more to do I beg of you remember who you are Never have I hurt a sparrow Feeding in my hand Never have I filled my barrow With anything not grand Journey forward, journey well Journey safe and time will tell If you have grown to be a rising star Never have I thought so narrow Even when I'm sad Never have I sought an arrow Even when I'm mad Seldom does my heart forget Nor do I hold that regret Forever more I'll love you from afar I gawp and then the trance begins
I see a future that thirteen will cast Time is not linear as my soul ascends What once was is not yet the past Tomorrow holds a promise to kiss So gently the sun rattles the mast Around and around, it shall not miss This is the birth of what is to last If you can, do understand this No more the world, behold, avast Choose wisely, my friend, the path to bliss For life will pass by really fast The sky has worn its cloak
And I am still awake The dream I am to see Is hazed and so I shake Outside a frog will croak A lily on a lake And so with childish glee In mischief I partake The magic I convoke The quacking of a drake Come out and dance with me On top of a snowflake Night pixies I evoke So time I can retake What creature can I be That night will soon forsake Deafly are the crows to the cries of an eland
Heaven hath no place for the braggarts of our land All are created equal and society is the stand Where those of sundry creed walk the humbled sand Imagine a fable where you are the hound And demons every right and left devour the ground To save the world you must uncover the mound Where buried is a treasure that will surely astound When such a discovery then is said to be found Will hope and peace across the continents redound For it is within us the power to resound Across the known galaxies the call of the sound O brothers banded, brave and bold
Come join our new rebellion For life is but a story told Let's take back our dominion Illuminate the cup you hold Fill it with ambition And warm the hearts that are so cold In search of their contrition The stars are bright and wise and old The past is what you see The light refracted not foretold The futures yet to be The Earth, dissected, cut and sold An unjust tragedy When oceans dry and mountains fold What then for you and me Together we can save the world From animosity For no amount of green or gold Will take my liberty |
