The Trenchant Sword

So, Think you have won Today, It's just begun Launch a barrage of viscious lies To tax the heart and mind Behold through muddy rivers Flows crystal waters Pivot a man's most enduring friend Into his newfangled enemy Amid stormy clouds Seeps rays of sunlight Devour someone's dreams And diminish their hopes Underneath the rest Lies unmarred gold How do I percieve these things? Because I possess the truth And today it will strike you down Like a fine trenchant sword You will hear my every word The day you always feared Has finally arrived Surrounded by darkness at all angles From within radiates the light of truth Decimate the body The soul remains untainted Lost in a maze of deception I will allow truth to guide me to an exit In the midst of a nightmare I envision a dream The truth allows me to forsee these things The one thing That will never be taken from me Is the truth Which is forever unbending As a mountain is immovable So I shall carry my sword As you continue to brace self-deception
