Untangling the Lies 08/07/2009

I look up into the midnight blue;

Reflected inside an awakening hue.

In my heart a wrathful longing

Yet lingers a fear of wronging

A loathing fire burns my very being

Is this truth really worth seeing?

A fist within my chest

Pulls at my very best

At the edge of this cliff I stand

I'm set and ready to make my demand

My voice will be heard

And they will hear every word

Here I am, my life now my own

I no longer accept this meaningless drone

They tell me this way is right

Those who gave me this sliver of light

Follow my heart to find what is true

The time is now to get what is due

Your thinking is wrong

Yet I knew it all along

It was always right before our very eyes

The evil poison of these lies

Your vile words are straight from Hell

Satin's rung his final bell

I am tired of your masquerade

There's yet a debt to be paid

For he who leads them astray

Oh, there will be hell to pay

I vow to reveal the truth within

I'll rise above your babbling din

The power of truth will be revealing

Your lies shall cease to be appealing

Know this, our father on high

Will no longer stand for your lie

He will shatter illusion

And tear apart this truth and lie infusion

Now part from your evil ways

There is not much left of your days

Truth shall set you free

Just as it did for me
