Beholder Of Truth Sweet child of the night, tell me what do you see? A world full of hatred, lust, envy, and greed. A web spun from lies, the spider of wrath. Along comes the truth, right into hell's path. The light gives us hope, the dark brings our fear. The love brings us smiles, the hate gives us tears. With silence comes peace, war travels with words. Our strength's with the beast, our soul's with the birds. So sweet child of the night, tell me what do you see? A world filled with hatred, lust, envy, and greed. |
