The truth shall set you free, but lies are more useful tools
Seek and ye shall find, leave understanding to the fools
Things are what they are, and rarely what they seem to be
Knowledge may be power, but deception is the key
I learn more, but know less. Wisdom makes me unwise
My brain opens doors, but my mind closes its eyes
To be left alone in the dark is what I truly need
Where others think they'll fail is where I know I'll succeed
Blood fuels this machine that makes the world go 'round
And we all dance to the rhythm of this music with no sound
It is a bright cold day in April, and the clocks are striking thirteen
In bondage we are kept, but we still think that we're free
I think I'll name my child "Just Another One"
Here's your life, here's your love, now go have your fun
Enjoy it while it lasts, it'll soon be another's turn
To eat, drink, and be merry; to die, and to burn
So call me selfish, call me cruel, or call me something more
But I know what you'll be doing behind closed doors
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, pride, and envy
Have another slice of cake. How about some sodomy?
Those who value honesty would make me their king
That's why I'm the devil, and you're the angelic being
Oh, holy ones, why is it that you should frown?
Have you stumbled, have you fallen, have you lost your crown?

This is an amazing piece! The subject matter is interesting, and you've presented it very well I feel. Continue for Truth, it seems you are on a healthy trail.
