I know this place

There is murmur
Of a specter

Here
A saint and a liar
Dance together
Before God

I know their face

One says
“I tell you the truth
I cannot promise
The truth. I am
No saint”

The other smiles
“I tell you the truth
I am a liar
And will lie”

I know this place

I will be my own deception
Thank you both
I will be my own

Sooner would I march
Headstrong
Into the dark
To be lost
And know the darkness
In truth

And so I appeal to the specter
And I drown the murmur
The saint and the liar
Be ******

I know this place
I know
