Lyrics

Whenever stories are prescribed

When narratives are established or imposed

That we could never obelise

That we could never immortalize or monumentalize

Then how could anyone supply a doubt

Then how could anyone have disbelief or skepticism


I take you at your word

I believe what you say


But the tale could have a flaw

But the story might have a mistake or error

And if you find yourself in awe

And if you feel deeply impressed or overwhelmed

Then you’ll only hunger for the truth

Then you’ll only desire the genuine truth


Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa

Truth is never conquered itself

Ne qua dicuntur imprudenter credas

Don’t believe anything imprudently spoken


When I’m crucified, taunted and denied

When I face intense criticism, mockery, and refusal

I’ll stand strong, with my back against the wall

I’ll remain resilient, facing challenges boldly


At times it seems so very hard

Sometimes it feels extremely difficult

All that we learned we must discard

We have to let go of everything we've learned

That everyone you’d ever trust has lied

That everyone you’ve ever trusted has deceived


When I’m crucified, haunted and defied

When I face intense criticism, haunted and challenged

I belong to the few that died for all

I belong to the few who sacrificed themselves for all


You cannot question or defy

You can’t challenge or oppose without consequences

Or you’ll find out the hard way why

Or you’ll understand the difficulty through experience

You’d better run before you walk alone

You should be cautious before proceeding alone


Veritas numquam vicitur ipsa

Truth itself is never conquered

Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas

Don’t believe things spoken imprudently

Sed tua teneas

But hold on to your own beliefs
