HOAX

A PRACTICAL JOKE

We ought to worship idols and dishonor men

Over the years, the great lie has been told like a thousand times

*

The real greats slipped through time, died unknown

We hear stories of the not so greats over a thousand times

*

The person who romanticize life, hasn’t seen it close by

It’s fed on blood of countless souls over and over a thousand times

*

I am not light but dark watching itself

I know I’ve watched the abyss close by every time, a thousand times

*

I got killed by the same opponent, the same style

I get back up only to fall back the same like a thousand times

*

I sought to see my blood run blue

But I bled the same like a thousand times
