Deceitful Deeds

For what is it we find, what is it we feel? When in the world of men the lie means so much more than the truth we need to heal For what burned and poisoned lands lie dormant in their yields? When the promises of men stray like wisps of wind in the valleys and over the fields For what truth is left to find in a world of deceitful deeds? Has man lost his will to drive a stake through evil when light shows where evil is concealed? For what is it we need? Has humanity lost its path because of selfishness and power greed? Under the bright light of the moon do we choose not to hear history scream in our coldest darkest dreams? For what is it you want, do you think it’s the same as me? For your children to live a life where the lives they have are theirs and the dreams they have are free?
