It's forgivable
so long as reversible
Excusable
as the human condition
deems it natural
and conquerable
As long as eternity
and the span of history
The web of lies is woven strong
and sure in the minds
of the lesser ones
You call it the truth
I call it the human lie
Innocence we recognize
and destroy
O come to me corruptible ones
Feed this monster feel the fire
Come believe that innocent
you can be no more
Be strong in the power of love
in time it will fail you
Find hope
in the well of humanity
In time you will fall
as have we all
Your faith in the goodness
of the light of the universe
Will blind you as you see its brilliant darkness
Your heart full of life and love
will die in its temple
When your love is unreturned
