A truth I spoke, a truth I bore,
A truth I spoke, and nothing more.
They raised me high, on crosses' wood,
And offered poison, misunderstood.
No solace found, their hearts astray,
A truth I spoke, and come what may,
A truth I spoke, without delay.
Through passing years, where shadows creep,
Oppression met, and sorrows deep,
This bitter fruit, the truth to keep.
A truth I spoke, my fate to see,
A truth I spoke, eternally.
Seek not the best, above the fray,
Be not a guide, to light the way.
No prophet rise, come what may.
A truth I spoke, though they decry,
A truth I spoke, beneath the sky.
Be silent now, let moments flow,
Don't risk your life, the truth to show.
Learn from my plight, the seeds you sow.
A truth I spoke, though pain may claim,
A truth I spoke, a whispered name.
A truth I spoke, a burning flame.
