[ Do not let liars claim that night is day ]
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
