Truth, Evil Exists And Not All Men Pray

Ah yes, sad that hell never froze over,
all is not Nature's beauty and clover.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, we cry our faults are not so bad
and bad ones always dwell in other lads.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, sins we try to bury with lies,
or try to wash away with our false cries.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, glowing dawns come and then they go
and we walk in blindness, saying we know.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, this rightly condemns you and I,
as just rewards come in the by and by.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, night gives not the cover we think
and our lives can fly away in a blink.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, sad truth- no man is an island,
tho' we each one have been marked with a brand.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.

Ah yes, we will face the music tis' true
and no foolish lies will serve me or you.
We fallen creatures, yes we have our way
truth, evil exists and not all men pray.
