The Net

Even when the blade was thrust The spirit inside was left untouched But the flesh was torn away The flesh was led astray But as the blades’ edge cut through Discerning what was lie And what was true The hidden darkness fled Before the light that bled And as the truth shone through The cloudy sky turned brightly blue Revealing yet another day Another path Another way And as the birds flew up high The lie itself was led to die And freedom flew up to its peak Torn flesh In crow’s black beak
