Assemblage 23 Truth

The truth is like a dancer with shattered limbs



What once stood proud and graceful is languishing



And the midday sun beats down from above like a giant fist



That evaporates the veracity from within our midst







-CHORUS-



Dont speak of truth in times like these



The concepts riddled with disease



Deny the sights your eyes have seen



This is the new reality







The truth is like a painting that time defaced



A monument to beauty left in disgrace



And the faded flower that our eyes yet devoured is in decline



What once was as pure as an infants embrace has become maligned







(CHORUS)







The truth is like a lantern in heavy winds



What once shone like a beacon is growing dim



And the flickering flame dies out in the rain of perfect lies



Silver threads of smoke float upward into the sky







(CHORUS)
