Speak Your Mind
Truth,
Truth,
When will you be revealed?
Locked in a room far away,
where you'll never be unsealed
Hidden by those who think they know us,
those who'll never yield.
Lies,
Lies,
When will you give us peace?
You follow us, follow us,
while we beg for sweet release.
Thrown by those who think they rule us,
those who'll never cease.
Truth,
Truth,
Wherever can you be?
When will you return to us?
When will you set us free?
Lies,
Lies,
Everywhere we see.
When will you let us rest?
When will you leave us be?
