Shades of Cruelty
All of these words
Out from these caves
Where a serpent tongue hides
Ready to strike the conscience from backside
With a bladeless knife, they hurt from inside
Never white neither black… the words we say
Never clear neither opaque… when everything's grey
We promise out loud poisonous needles that bite innocent minds
Where is that bottle...? Truth elixir... A cure to heal the blinds
Deep inside... where is throned the jesters
Floats the riddle, but who knows the answer?
Not me… and it's the venom I spit
You swear, do you lie? Do you really know it?
If we could only raise our hands to grab the sky
Then tear it apart to break the night
Our fingers stretched to hold the light
Then keep it in to enlight the lies
This mask I wear... I forged it
This look in my face... I drew it
What remains of dream... of life
Artificial smiles
Destroying it's own birthplace
To create a shameful illusion pit
A liquid lie now runs through the veins
And shades of cruelty appear to hide it
