With the most angelic face
And whispered things too hard to swallow
His smile sweetening the taste

Colored in flaws from head to toe
A priestess of dark magic
Inciting men to wrecking havoc

SheepPeople don't ever think for themselves
There's this book I read on cultural evolution
That says group think is an adaptation
If someone says snake
And you take the time to look for yourself
You're dead

Colours of TruthThe streams of chameleon
cultures are wrapped in an
unending charade of peace,

our bonds, our lies...
