ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - Fear the Fire lyrics

My hypothesis is, be brave but fear the fire burnin' Can you carry the burden, when you can't bury the hurtin' Don't believe in promises, cuz in life only d**h is certain Do right & hold no regrets, before finally closin' the curtain It's do or die, if you dare to swim against the current Confused but determined, know that truth ain't transparent Don't run with the rat or the snake, they are dirty and fake Regardless of what's at stake, they do it for their own sake Like politicians, they don't ask for permissions, they just take Like a bird of prey, patiently watching before it betray Deadly & dangerous, but in disguise, so it leads you astray But beware, because some will see through you like X-ray Needless to say, this world works in a mysterious way Put it this way, for some, life is a beautiful ballet While for others, that ballet seems so far away It took some time, but you are finally cotton on Will they pray for you when you are dead & gone Or will they shed crocodile tears and then live on Just when you think you're right, you're really wrong But then again, sometimes lies are disguised like a swan Illiterate, yet mirror themselves in Corleone the Don -ASK
