The Truth and Reasons to Fight

There's a void in the stomach of the greatest machine

And the only thing to fill it is the light of kerosene

In the cavern of the night I screamed Lord make it light

If the walls crumble in I'll go down without a fight

I gave it away at the start of the game,

I walked through your doors without stating my name

How could the past have moved along so fast

I never gave it a thought, I never would've asked

How it was so, that the wise elders know

When the river weeps and why it would flow

I should have listened but decided to be distant

Hiding behind the guise of a faraway vision

Of love between lies and the poet that dies

Right between the lines of his very own sighs

How could the protagonist be beat at his own game

How could the admirer get all the blame

For something not even a lier would give

The truth about heaven and a chance to live

Without any fear of the dark held so dear

Without the promise lurking of a benighted affair

Oh I've got the truth and I have a reason to fight

I've stated my name and I've lived through the night

I've listened to the elders and I've fought through the plight

Of life's greatest harm oh I'll kick and I'll bite

I'll keep living on till my knuckles turn white
