Three lies in five words
Light up the candles, one by one
One shield against three swords
Take the deal, the clock is done
Don’t put your trust in stars
For they too, reside in the dark
Perilous fate is soon to be ours
Tear stains and bruises leave their mark
I see a light- a star on the hill
And I nearly-I wanted to drown it out
But I walk away, knowing something else will
This star is not a star but hell’s fire dancing about
Once was a dear time when I followed this light
Followed it… into the dark
Then I realized that it was stealing my sight
Eventually, I too will leave a mark
Three lies in five words
That is what you gave me
One by one the falling swords
Drop before they even reach me
One by one your lies unfold
To a story forever, left untold
