|
Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn |
|
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall |
|
Street corner justice beware |
|
The spirit will find you always be fair |
|
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all |
|
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall |
|
In lies your heart will not share |
|
The spirit inside used without care |
|
The spirit that guides you follow it through |
|
To the spirit inside you always be true |
|
You know you'll despair |
|
If the spirit inside is used without care |
|
The battlefield of glory pales into rust |
|
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust |
|
No beast alive does compare |
|
The spirit beside you everywhere |
|
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward |
|
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard |
|
Your conscience could not repair |
|
The spirit inside used without care |
|
'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide |
|
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide |
|
The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind |
|
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing |
|
No clues to how you will fare |
|
The spirit implores you tread where you dare |
|
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor |
|
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore |
|
The candle burns out once more |
|
But the spirit inside you won't be ignored |
