Either or
Indifference unsheaths its bitter sword
As Mercy gathers her ruinous horde
The Joker jests in courts of jester
The King he laughs at mistress lecture
Envy fancies his mouldy coat
As Pride recites the songs he wrote
Clairvoyance struck blind~ her vision beneath
As Deceit he grins through rotton teeth
As Doubt drinks from the bitter cup
Pride will empty it~ then fill it up
Vision blinks~ eyes full of sand
As a Lie and Fear walk hand in hand
As Grace and Courage wilt beneath thier crowns
Mistrust adjusts his crooked frown
Forgiveness finds her new cold shoulder
As Lust instructs the way to hold her
Guilt it hides its footsteps past
Remorse withdraws~ its path is cast
Death he hides in sunsets shadow
As Birth alights upon dawns meadow
As Mercy gathers her ruinous horde
The Joker jests in courts of jester
The King he laughs at mistress lecture
Envy fancies his mouldy coat
As Pride recites the songs he wrote
Clairvoyance struck blind~ her vision beneath
As Deceit he grins through rotton teeth
As Doubt drinks from the bitter cup
Pride will empty it~ then fill it up
Vision blinks~ eyes full of sand
As a Lie and Fear walk hand in hand
As Grace and Courage wilt beneath thier crowns
Mistrust adjusts his crooked frown
Forgiveness finds her new cold shoulder
As Lust instructs the way to hold her
Guilt it hides its footsteps past
Remorse withdraws~ its path is cast
Death he hides in sunsets shadow
As Birth alights upon dawns meadow
