The Prophet Video (MV)

I sat next to the barstool prophet
Heard the epic tales of defeat
With a poisoned heart full of contemplation
He spoke some kind of knowledge to keep
Like, reserve your strength and perseverance
For when you're lost and cannot see
Your innocence will be tragically taken by the bounty hunter knows as greed
You can spend your life fighting for the reasons
To justify repeated defeats
While the winners win, the losers will watch as their dreams slip into the abyss
A boxer fears a man's resolve
Not the blows from his mighty fists
Keeps his head held low until he knows that courage is the form of a risk

And the truth is
There is truth in anything you believe
I've found truth in
Chasing the cold facts
How nothing's quite like it seems

Oh and death
I can smell it in your breath
It's the deal you can't appeal
Cauterized by blood and steel
The sentence given to you by your birth
Diagnosed with this curse
It's the same direction we all have in common
No forms of protection or oath to honor
Will deflect this destined fate

And the truth is
There is truth in anything you believe
I've found truth in
Chasing the cold facts
How nothing's quite like it seems
