It is with our eyes we look
But with our heart we truly see
And with clear sight I look upon
The truth of what has been
To some I was demon
and others a king
To some a defender
A Knight among men
But I was Just a fraud
A joker and fiend
A silver tongued devil
Who carried his lies as a shield
And so I created a fantasy
For other to see
A thinly painted projection
Of what I wanted to be
But I knew little of the truth
And It's beauty within
So I was imprisoned by my fantasy
This monument to my sins
But the past lays our lies bare
The truth a beacon in the dark
And so I look back
To see the truth in my heart
