Universal Truth |
| Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow |
| There comes a time in life when death may come too slow |
| Honesty in the necrology |
| The offspring smear your name in print |
| You have waited far too long |
| But Spring is set in bloom |
| You have conquered love inside |
| Yet sorrow is your doom |
| The debts are long since paid, inheritance is set |
| Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget |
| Lest you forget |
| At sunrise Friday morning, a haven for your sins |
| The written dedication etched into your skin |
| Time won’t heal the wounds you bear |
| Between old pride and desperate prayers |
| Time won’t heal any wounds you bear |
| A set few years of your life are stolen |
| Light cast on the obvious |
| Behold the white when it’s faded golden |
| A stranger’s truth holds no water here |
| But soon we may have learned |
| Dead sympathy, an aversion proceeds |
| A voice lives in your chest that comforts wary thoughts |
| Yet the brook is still too wide to bridge the gap you’ve sought |
| Honesty in the necrology |
| The offspring smear your name in print |
| You trade your vices every day religiously |
| A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see |
| You gave away too much, a harness on your kin |
| For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin |
| Mortal sin |
| You’re still alone |
| The day in zenith now, you made it through the night |
| Voice of perdition came and went far out of sight |
