The Words you will never hear

An apology from the throne will never come close to home
Surrendering at my feet will make you look extra weak;
when night falls and the bats are wandering in the dark
I say not the words that they want to hear but words that brought 
about much fear, the words from a king are not sweet, but should have the villain
come trembling  at his feet, say what your heart permits you to say and not what  the
 Orchestra designed for you to say. The world is at a cross-road and niceties cannot
Turn things around but sober doctrine that will shake the heart and conscience of man
And lead them to the point where they can fully understand. The words you will hear
Are not those that are flying in the air.
