It's forgivable So long as reversible Excusable As the human condition Deems it natural And conquerable As long as eternity And the span of history The web of lies is woven strong And sure in the minds Of the lesser ones You call it the truth I call it the human lie Innocence we recognize And destroy O come to me corruptible ones Feed this monster feel the fire Come believe that innocent You can be no more Be strong in the power of love In time it will fail you Find hope In the well of humanity In time you will fall As have we all Your faith in the goodness Of the light of the universe Will blind you as you see its brilliant darkness Your heart full of life and love Will die in its temple When your love is unreturned
