When the truth is found to be lies ,
the trust you had within you dies ;
What future testimony then convinces ?
having put your trust in the words of princes ?
Their words nailed the body of truth to the tree of lies ,
Pharisees’ loud voices were lauded,those of the meekest despised ;
The Pharisees’ code of silence and fears ,
beat down the truth over the years ;
Until men could bear it no more ,
welcoming the breaking down of their prison’s door ;
Then bright shining as the sun ,
truth at last revealed to everyone ;
are there any righteous in the world ?
no , not one.
