if priests and princes' hollowed shadowed souls   if devils are but angels cast to know   i live forever with a sharp regret   it might be a surprise to know i never wished for death      a hint of misery made its way along   to those who've never harmed or never wronged      if honesty changed the hearts of men   who could contend?   if all i thought were true      in this great divide that is my life   i fear to think of all i'd undo   if all i thought were true...      even my own ears would never care to know   what deep inside ourselves out hearts behold   a sky in shards, our world's unraveled parts   impossible to piece as one in our unending dark
