Where Truth Will Come Alive

You can hear my voice
Your silence is a crime
You can feel my pain
It's written in the rhyme

The words reveal a message
Hidden in the lines
It speaks a rite of passage
It shows the end of times

To make you understand
I offer you a dare
And if you have the courage
I will make you care

So look inside yourself
And peer into the core
Know your deepest agony
Feel it like before

The pain will be a liar
But not the kind it seems
So step into the fire
And you will hear my screams

The lie was meant to cure you
It lives inside your head
The lie was meant to save you
But it will leave you dead

The truth was your own making
It seemed to be so sure
Your conscious mind mistaking
A poison for the cure

The crime that you committed
Was not an active one
No, you only omitted
Look at what you've done

It's not the battles that you lost
Or even could have won
The crime was doing nothing
Your actions equaled none

So understand the reason
That all of us are damned
And you will find my message
Buried in the sand
