The Lies Of Truth~The Spider's Web

 

 

Like the thin, white filigree of a spider’s web

The lies of truth escape the lips

In a labyrinth spun of skeins and snarly tangles

Showing no light in greedy, darkened pits

 

She’s the Lady of truth, so often abused

Lies woven by lips of fear that are decried

Sins committed by appetites of selfish hunger 

Behind a flimsy, woven wall of lies

 

The Lady of truth so abused

Lies that are spoken make the soul grow cold

Bonds of trust spoken carelessly in her name

Once the grim, morass stories begin to unfold

 

She stands for justice, rightfulness and freedom

Yet many are sent away to sit in pain and shame

When the lies of truth are used to deceive

The Lady of truth is unjustly held to blame

 

Half truths, whole truths make us feel betrayed

Does anyone tell the truth anymore?

The sadness of innocence that slowly dies

It hurts our world right down to its core 

 

Will I, will you tell the truth when all's said and done

We all need to be brave and plant her seed

Constant betrayals make us all pay the price

Is there anybody out there not afraid to lead?

 

Will we be the one who stands up for our Lady?

Will we lead our lives with honesty and trust?

Let the world see that our Lady’s honor be told

Or will we lead our lives with lies and lust?
