"When a man lies, he murders some part of the world" Paul Gerhardt

I picked up a red pocket diary

among shreds and flames it was lying

There was written that "to live is to lie

and there ain't no truth until you die"

All those "sacrifices" you're asking me to bear

to me are less than zero, just to say it very clear

The silence you imposed today

won't ever change my thoughts your way

The wall you're crashing into soon

won't disappear by turning your eyes away

Faces that doesn't exist

as soon as they're out of my TV screen

For you to live is to lie

and there ain't no truth until you die

Filthy men without thickness

disappear as soon as I switch channel

But tell me why do you sell such hopes

that even yourself wouldn't believe at all

You're just "parasites of honor"

and your "values" leave no traces

Talking of faith, hope and justice

Locking your heart in a Swiss bank

Claim to be right or left or what?

Committed only to stay "above"

Widows, orphans become poor

through senseless talks by same old fools

Promises are filling our ears

but nothing has changed through all these years

For you to live is to lie and there's no truth until you die

For you to live is to lie

and there's no truth until you die

Promises are filling my ears

I can see the day is coming when

you'll be kindly swept away

Doing unto others as

they're doing unto you

Really, would you like me to

follow your golden rules

What can I say? To love your next is not for naives

All our trust in you has gone

We won't persevere with you in the agony of lying
