Truth

They taught me one side of a two sided story
Left out the parts they thought were gory
Just used whatever showed thier glory
Like keeping gold hidden in a quarry

Ignorance takes over my mind
I doubt everything I find
The lies are so well interwined
Are my eyes closed yor am I truly blind

The lies are true and the truths a lie
All the villians live and the heroes die
We never hear the sounds when thier mothers cry
And thats always made me wonder why

Our worlds a painting and were the paint
Yet sometimes I think my colors are faint
But I know now thats its all the lies than taint
The picture; and finally I see the devil in the saint

I see the corruption inside of our society
I see the chains that bond us when were free
In the happiness I find the misery
I see what I didnt ever used to see

I see the bribed judges; the false laws
I see the rebellion; a lost cause
In the utopia I notice the flaws
And now I know the true cause

I see the imbalance; i see the greed
I see the broken and watch them bleed
There are some wanting and those in need
There are some suffering and that have broken the creed

I see the death of faith in God or reason
I see those believers being held on treason
And yet it repeats with every season
Too bad for all four of em its freezing

I see blood flowing in a drought
I see a crime commited without a doubt
I see a pacified man yet I hear him shout
He just does it to keep insanity out

I see whims take presidence over facts
I see a politician's degree and it says he acts
The liars now are those who make the pacts
And the innocent truth-tellers on the racks

I see reality as a cover of lies
I see the demons in disguise
I see the judges; not so wise
I see the darkness taint the skies

I see blood in the bank and money in viens
I see the thirst of people when it rains
I see the loss of love while hate gains
The absence of joy; all types of pains

I see the dagger struck into the heart
I see the murderer perfects his art
The actor now plays his part
Hehopes to tear the world apart

I see the dangers of safety; the violence of peace
The crimes are gone; but the deaths increase
And all th while fear will never decease
In fact its just renewed its lease

In a land of freedom weve become slaves
Emancipated but only in our graves
A free mans lost all hes begun to save
Drowning now in a crashing wave

The worlds sinking in a sea of fire
Smoke rising from a funeral pyre
From this death is born a liar
In this reslestness he never tires

I see the enemies in my friends and allies in my foes
I see the chaos of this world lined up in rows
Its this confusion that brought me my woes
Im now a lost man who never knows

Ive forgetten what I lost and yet Ive found
Confusion all over the place; pound by pound
Ive become deaf to all save a sound
The breaths of the dead are all around

I see that everythings true but thats a lie
The bottom of the worlds in the sky
Corpses are born and babies die
Emotionless the shadows cry

The people are full yet I see hunger in thier eyes
Thirst for truth and end to all the lies
They stand frozen and time flies
The flame ignites but the light dies

The echoes are heard from forgotten voices
A man decides but he has no choices
In this perplexity he rejoices
He doesnt even know what the choice is

Dead sound louder than those that speak
I hear the lies leaving the ravens beak
Im in the mountains heart and yet on its peak
I stop searching for the treasure I seek
