Brutal Truth
Should we view images of death and evil in the media?
Brutal truth; how dare you burn our eyes
How dare you mark our quiet hearts with pain
Our gentle ears are deafened with your cries
Our worlds will never be the same again
Brutal truth; without you we deny
Ourselves, our fear, the part we have to play
So shine your fierce searchlight from the sky
Force in to form the shadows of the day
Brutal truth; unchain our memory
And rend the veil that shrouds a lie from sight
The evolution of humanity
Is in your hands; stir us to flight or fight
To know ourselves and know our enemy
Shifting deserts, oceans flowing free
