\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Where truly does the lie begin<\/span><\/p>\n

In the mind, the soul or the sin,<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of context, reflex or perplexity ?<\/span><\/p>\n

The true road turns \u2013 forked lies come in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Lyrics I<\/span><\/p>\n

If love is blind<\/span><\/p>\n

What use has love to cry<\/span><\/p>\n

Tears of joy or any other kind ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Being justice also is in a lover\u2019s mind<\/span><\/p>\n

Just or unjust, let all the tears dry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Lyrics V<\/span><\/p>\n

In ward north number twelve<\/span><\/p>\n

One hushed night<\/span><\/p>\n

I heard death choking my neighbor<\/span><\/p>\n

But couldn\u2019t find the light<\/span><\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t recognize its face for fright.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now any face that it may be<\/span><\/p>\n

If now it shadows me<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just wait to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Lyrics IX<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfection must be the dullest thing<\/span><\/p>\n

In the world \u2013 now that I\u2019ve done you wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

Give me the broken wing<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of love I no longer belong<\/span><\/p>\n

And a conflict joy would bring<\/span><\/p>\n

Back my love which once was so strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, even now, I suffer in this song<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I done you wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n
