Wipe the dust away from a box of levity
Stirs a memory a lifetimes breadth away
Too scarred to close my eyes, the past floods in like tears
One more wordless cry fills the empty night
No bleeding heart could ever stand in my way
When I played upon the foothills of depravity
No hearts and no minds were in my gift to bestow
I can't believe in life when death's the only real God I know
They said the truth will set you free
They said no harm would come to me
Ends of sanity, drowning in profanities
The cost of savagery, a slate that won't wipe clean
No guide to light my way into unknown places
Silent partners stare but there鈥檚 nothing left to say
I was the messenger, the means to an end
Unleashed to crush belief in far and broken lands
No conscience, no reason, no map and no plan
Destroyed the lives of those who never stood a chance, I know
They said the truth will set you free
They said no harm would come to me
No bleeding heart will ever stand in my way
As I play upon the foothills of depravity
No hearts and no minds are in my gift to bestow
I can't believe in life when death's the only real God I know
They said the truth will set you free
They said no harm would come to me
