Monument

Transparent lies set the frame for cloak and dagger Deep hidden in an ancient city, lay the artifacts and scrolls A legend reinforced to help maintain the illusion The best kept secret, the most obvious answer You hide the truth that you know that there is no god Relics and temples to reinforce your stories To keep control of those you can is your only goal And to that end, you keep telling the lie again and again Behind closed gates, inside vaults and catacombs Sealed within the royal tombs you have fashioned Such a waste it is when you know the words are worthless A bloated pustule upon the face of the earth
