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 d**h'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's 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 d**h's the only real God I know They said the truth will set you free They said no harm would come to me
