"Otherwise, you wouldn't
Be staying here,
By my side,
As one of the
Worthless.
"You know damn well;
Who decides what
And who
Are of worth;
And you accept it,
You accept their verdict,
And stay here
Instead of in their
City of light and honor.
"Oh what a wickedness,
What a wicked one..."
So the shadow
Whispers to you
Under the ten stars
the Ace of all Hearts ponders:
How is it, that darkness
could reveal what's hidden
in blinding light?
So if dark is not all bad,
and light is not all good,
then what is truly good,
what is truly bad?
Have good and bad
ever been real at all?
Or is it just one of those
ancient tales our ancestors spin
and spin, and spin,
and spin—until we thought
it is no more mere fiction?
But truth;
truth doesn't have to be good or bad.
Truth is just truth,
it is just what it is.
(And you hear it echoes within:
"I am just what I am."
