Speak If It Be Truth

What kind of light
 is denser than air

Speak, if it be true

Must I wander on in blunder
Listening to the ramblings 
of the depraved

Say Nay, if I dipose you.

It seems far from me 
to show you where 
the water lies

Definately not above your eyes.

You must braise your sight 
to these poisoned visions

Level your ears to the 
deception that rings

Strum the words then, if this is agreeable

Speak again, if this is truth
Speak once more
