I walk up
To The Mirror of Truth.
"Tell me,"
I demand
"Tell me the truth."

I wait
And I wait
But the mirror
Stays dark.

"Tell me the truth,"
I repeat.

But still
The Mirror of Truth
Stays dark.

"The truth,"
The mirror booms
In a cold
Empty voice
"is before you
Shrouded in darkness."

"Who has done this?"
I shout
"Who has shrouded my truth?"

"You have,"
Says The Mirror of Truth
In the same cold
And empty voice.

And as I look into the mirror
I see the truth
That I have lied to myself.

And so I leave
With nothing
But lies.
