The simple truth, is that so rare;
why seek a lie's unholy lair?
So, loud they shout hell's lexicon--
all but they-- Satan's evil spawn.
You run from sense and seek the carny's kissing booth,
and naught but hate and fear becomes the simple truth.
A dream world calls, you answer loud
you made your choice, you're prancing proud.
You'll not see light that shows you wrong--
if straight to death ... you'll dance along.
Mistakes are made and most acknowledge what befalls,
but some will run to join, when e'er a dream world calls.
