If truth were nothing but a blur Would the rumors fly on broken wings Facts served out of can size meals Lies leaving dents in side cars driven By mystified stories of blusterous beings Would history make any money Selling its news to TV anchors Who only twist the hands of fate How would it come about Where would it end if it had no beginning What would the middle man's beat be How would it be foretold if it had no before So it may seem as a blur As truth only starts out as a hazy remark Untwist the hands of time As history unfolds iself Leaving manuscripts of unanswered questions Questionable doubt lynches itself Through remarkable words With expeditive tension Trapped beneath the big hand of epic proportions Open your eyes to clarify opinionated intelligence Impressions left in the sands of time

Clarity of Time
If truth were nothing but a blur Would the rumors fly on broken wings Facts served out of can size meals Lies leaving dents in side cars driven By mystified stories of blusterous beings Would history make any money Selling its news to TV anchors Who only twist the hands of fate How would it come about Where would it end if it had no beginning What would the middle man's beat be How would it be foretold if it had no before So it may seem as a blur As truth only starts out as a hazy remark Untwist the hands of time As history unfolds iself Leaving manuscripts of unanswered questions Questionable doubt lynches itself Through remarkable words With expeditive tension Trapped beneath the big hand of epic proportions Open your eyes to clarify opinionated intelligence Impressions left in the sands of time
