Half Truths Breed

Half truths breed
Multiply faster than any truths
 
Rot the soul
Eat the flesh
 
Half truths
They sit upon the gossipers tongue
 
Despair, Broken Hearts
Follow in their trails, wakes drenched in blood
 
Half truths empty the mind
Paralyze the head
 
Half truths constrict
Venom to the soul
 
Marked are their slaves
Poverty of the heart, slime through the soul
 
Half truths
Sweep them, beat them, banish them
 
For truth shall prevail
Slow to breed; straight, true and strong the strain
 
Half truths bred defamed
They twist the soul and rot the flesh
