Redemption - Desperation, Part III Lyrics
Hiding in the theater, listening to TomTelling whitewashed lies about the China PitWhatever has happened, started when they opened itAnd brought out the carvings from the deepest partDavid leaves the others and falls asleep while prayingA vision of sister then appears to himSent by God to show him, the truth of what transpiredAnd what the few survivors have to doThe Chinese came, and were made slavesDeep in the mine they broke through, to thePirin Moh, the home of TakThe Heart of the UnformedThe red eye of Ini, where its evil liesSmoke from it drove the men madAnd they murdered each other, except for two brothersWho caused the cave-in as they escaped?Blamed for the cave in, and hung by the townBut Tak is one of them and swears his revengeA hundred years later, the mine is reopenedAnd the madness begins againBodies wear out, but the souls must surviveEvil and good are eternalThe path of the truth is much crueler than liesBut it sacrifices us in the endMary hears a voice, and goes to seek it outShe thinks that she hears Ellen Carver somewhere nearBut Ellen's rotting body is the vessel now for TakWho captures her and takes her back to the mineDavid explains the truth to the othersTak from the well of souls, another dimensionTook Collie's body, the evil awakenedAnd now the must destroy this affront to GodBodies wear out, but the souls must surviveEvil and good are eternalThe path of the truth is much crueler than liesBut it sacrifices us in the endJohnny now recalls, what really happened in NamTak was in the Vietcong that planned the bombCould have warned the others were he less concerned with stealthBut he sprinted from the building and only saved himselfDeep inside the author knowsThe boy is right and their path is clearHe finds a God he never knewCloses his eyes and praysBodies wear out, but the souls must surviveEvil and good are eternalThe path of the truth is much crueler than liesBut it sacrifices us in the endBodies wear out, but the souls must surviveEvil and good are eternalThe path of the truth is much crueler than liesBut it sacrifices us in the end
