Array ( [sid] => 111804 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Truth Is A Sniper [time] => 2005-12-20 02:23:53 [hometext] => I would love to post other writes of mine but I don't want to lose my membership. so here's something i wrote in the solemnity of what life was months maybe even years ago. how often we cower in corners to hide from the sniper. -weepingprophet [bodytext] => Still
The hush of truth
Silence
The echoed lies
Divide time
And pause
For a moment

Truth is a sniper
Perched in the tower
Crouched by the bush

Hollow the distance
My eyes can see
Sold myself
What a pity
I’ve been deceived
By a moment

The echoed lies

Fire.
Blazing open
Flame
Honesty
The only hope
To remain

Truth is a sniper
Behind the disguise
Of time

Hollow the echo
Of lies and defeat
Shallow my madness
Surrender
Retreat

Fire in me
Oh my soul
How you bleed
The only hope
The only sting
Is honesty!

Truth Is A Sniper

Sold myself
What a pity
I’ve been deceived
By a moment

The echoed lies
