Lyrics

Whenever stories are prescribed
That we could never obelise
Then how could anyone supply a doubt ?

I take you at your word

But the tale could have a flaw
And if you find yourself in awe
Then you’ll only hunger for the truth

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas

When I’m crucified
Taunted and denied
I’ll stand strong
With my back against the wall

At times it seems so very hard
All that we learned we must discard
That everyone you’d ever trust has lied

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas

When I’m crucified
Taunted and denied
I’ll stand strong
With my back against the wall
When I’m crucified
Haunted and defied
I belong to the few
That died for all

You cannot question or defy
Or you’ll find out the hard way why
You’d better run before you walk alone

When I’m crucified
Taunted and denied
I’ll stand strong
With my back against the wall
When I’m crucified
Haunted and defied
I belong to the few
That died for all

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas
Sed tua teneas
