Legend tells Once long ago The Truth and Lie Was in console "For when mankind reach this road He will not know which road to go"the Lie boldly stated "But with our guidance To point the way A traveller will not be disway The direction he must partake"the Truth so certainly proclaimed
And so it went Not long after A weary traveller came to be At the crossroad in the road And whom should wait To greet upon But only Truth and Lie as one Pray me thee, The traveller spoke Which way must i partake? "Come thoust ask but only spoke To us only both?"the Lie said Yes,the traveller answered back If thine can but just show "Take heed,"the Truth said "And be but wise in choice, For one of us will tell the truth The other lie instead"
And as if one Both hands of two The truth point left The lie point too The traveller but confused
"Heed my word, Not once but two One road will follow The other true One road to death Awaits on you"they both spoke in unison
The traveller thought And later asked Pray tell,may i ask Another question of you? The Truth replied "If thou desire but hurry up upon the hour" The lie echo'd the Truth
The traveller thought and Start to speak: If one dies upon this shore Is death but just the opened door Tell me,which way does his soul Travel to reach life once more? The lie spoke first "Its gone before Death indeed does close the door And right points life once before" The traveller smiled And turned his gaze To change the choice He almost made And as he walked towards the right The Truth but cried The lie despite And both could not succeed For lie told true And truth had lied When both point left and none right
For Truth cant lie It pointed left But lie had said To turn to right And thus the traveller knew despite The one way both Had denied That left was wrong And right was right
