Make Truth Your Weapon
This is to all who suffer in silence
Upon reading every purposeful word,
Speak to me!
And I will live in you peaceably
If words must be delayed for your life,
Brush their essence upon my mind,
And in a moment, speaking for eons,
I will tie the truth onto your enemies
Till they are—in your glory— fatigued and blind
You hesitate, and you yearn
Others light your fires so you may burn
Who strikes the stone?
Who fights far after you are gone?
Bold and blue,
It is true I understand you
The weapons are laid out for your victory
Breathe them in
And exhale them upon the fiends
Teach them that their true rival is me!
I absorb every piece of pain
That cannot find expression or gain
We will filter the flaw into fervent fire
Bringing down the heartless who vow to never tire
