Devil's Advocate

we will never see the truth if we're blinded by tears. progressing in a state of duty lest we face our fears. i am right-brained and of wrong-intent. a leaf of a tree that's pent. prying for my freedom, yet on my descent. (growing) have patience my solemn child. hold steady, into the wild. hands are pointing to thee. (you will at last reign) we're begging please. (drowning in disdain) this is not peace. (i can't take this pain) this will not cease (until we're on our knees screaming) our deity is you. god bless us. god keep us. god save us this time. hands are pointing to thee. (you will at last reign) we're begging please. (drowning in disdain) this is not peace. (i can't take this pain) this will not cease (never) we knew the world would not be the same. few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. i remembered the line from the hindu scripture, the bhagavad-gita: vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "now i am become death, the destroyer of worlds." the world will not be the same
