Universal Truth

Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow
 There comes a time in life when death may come too slow
 ♪
 Honesty in the necrology
 The offspring smear your name in print
 You have waited far too long but Spring is set in bloom
 You have conquered love inside yet sorrow is your doom
 The debts are long since paid, inheritance is set
 Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget
 ♪
 Lest you forget
 At sunrise Friday morning a haven for your sins
 The written dedication etched into your skin
 ♪
 Time soon heal the wounds you bare
 Between old pride and desperate prayers
 ♪
 Time won't heal any wounds you bare
 A set few years of your life are stolen
 Light cast on the obvious
 Behold the white when it's faded golden
 ♪
 A stranger's truth holds no water here
 But soon we may have learned
 
 Dead sympathy, a aversion proceeds
 ♪
 A voice lives in your chest that comforts wary thoughts
 Yet the brook is still too wide to bridge the gap you've sought
 ♪
 Honesty in the necrology
 The offspring smear your name in print
 You trade your vices every day religiously
 A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see
 You gave away too much, a harness on your kin
 For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin
 ♪
 Mortal sin
 ♪
 You're still alone
 The day in zenith now, you made it through the night
 Voice of perdition came and went far out of sight
