Stop Crucifying the Truth

Stop crucifying the truth
How many times will you try to conquer this truth,
 born to a people who are held to a truce, 
of a lie?

Compromises and deceptions are running wild, 
uncovering truth but no where to hide,
Now you must abide.

With a bridle in your mouth and with compromise holding tight, 
you must fight, for truth to be saved 
or die to the grave

Real truth is on the manifest, 
put me to the test. 
I will stand with my sword in my hand 
and truth will rise again

Truth reveals your past, present, and destiny,
 can you see the reality?
Stop crucifying the truth; with your hair, colors, nails, clothes
 and most of with the words you pose.

Reveal your self through truth 
and don’t turn away, 
the creator is watching, listening and taking note, 
of a people who has the truth, 
but wear a fake coat.

Stop crucifying the truth

Conformed, complacent, criticized, clueless 
and don’t realize, 
your demise

Truth is life 
and you must fight 
all the lies insight

Until truth prevail
 from this dark ass hell, 
of reality

Truth (the messiah)
 will rise again 
and become a friend
