The Lies
The words will tell of secrets in my hands
Don’t heed the warning present as it stands
For even when the darkness covers sky
My friend, believe, to you I would not lie
They seek to turn us toward revenge and hate
Please hear me now and pray I’m not too late
As through the ages by your side I stand
I care not for your money, titles, land
I love you for a brother and a friend
Let not their words propel us to an end
For even in the darkness I will pray
That power over you they’d not hold sway
That hate you bear should not now turn to me
I plead for you to listen and to see
I don’t bear malice towards you or your kin
As long as I have known you we did win
But now I fear I may have come too late
For now inside your eyes I see your hate
You lapped up eagerly all of their lies
And tossed me out and off into the skies
