Desperation Part III

(m/l van Dyk)
 Hiding in the theater, listening to Tom
 Telling whitewashed lies about the China Pit
 Whatever has happened, started when they opened it
 And brought out the carvings from the deepest part
 David leaves the others and falls asleep while praying
 A vision of sister then appears to him
 Sent by God to show him, the truth of what transpired
 And what the few survivors have to do
 The Chinese came, and were made slaves
 Deep in the mine they broke through, to the
 Pirin Moh, the home of Tak
 The Heart of the Unformed
 The red eye of Ini, where its evil lies
 Smoke from it drove the men mad
 And they murdered each other, except for two brothers
 Who caused the cave-in as they escaped?
 Blamed for the cave in, and hung by the town
 But Tak is one of them and swears his revenge
 A hundred years later, the mine is reopened
 And the madness begins again
 Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive
 Evil and good are eternal
 The path of the truth is much crueler than lies
 But it sacrifices us in the end
 Mary hears a voice, and goes to seek it out
 She thinks that she hears Ellen Carver somewhere near
 But Ellen's rotting body is the vessel now for Tak
 Who captures her and takes her back to the mine
 David explains the truth to the others
 Tak from the well of souls, another dimension
 Took Collie's body, the evil awakened
 And now the must destroy this affront to God
 Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive
 Evil and good are eternal
 The path of the truth is much crueler than lies
 But it sacrifices us in the end
 Johnny now recalls, what really happened in Nam
 Tak was in the Vietcong that planned the bomb
 Could have warned the others were he less concerned with stealth
 But he sprinted from the building and only saved himself
 Deep inside the author knows
 The boy is right and their path is clear
 He finds a God he never knew
 Closes his eyes and prays
 Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive
 Evil and good are eternal
 The path of the truth is much crueler than lies
 But it sacrifices us in the end
 Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive
 Evil and good are eternal
 The path of the truth is much crueler than lies
 But it sacrifices us in the end
