Do not let liars claim that night is day  
Quiet acquiescence banishes the light  
Rage as they might, the truth will find a way

Wise men and fools shall both attempt to sway  
Resist, remember might does not make right  
Do not let liars claim that night is day

Good men will twist and spin, a fine ballet  
Insisting that your obstinance is spite  
Rage as they might, the truth will find a way

Wild men will holler, leading you astray  
No rescuers among them, no white knight  
Do not let liars claim that night is day

Grave men, near death, will supplicate and pray  
Be skeptical of those with second sight  
Rage as they might, the truth will find a way

And you, my friend -- it is for you to weigh  
The arguments, no prejudice or fright  
Do not let liars claim that night is day  
Rage as they might, the truth will find a way
