Behind the cover is the story
Of civilization scattered in untrue history
Buried with lies pilled up a foreign library
Story credited to someone rejoicing proudly on another's Glory

Behind the cover is the truth
Untold to it’s strong but confused youth
Refusing to believe the fabricated truth
Truth that was once established by conquerors living nothing but a clue

Behind the cover is the solution
To life on the line of treason and persecution
To a triangle trade slowing a peoples evolution
The solution to democracy being the cause of friction with republican’s jurisdiction

Behind the cover is the horror
The guilt felt by the man in the armor
The reason for trips to funeral parlour
The horrors in the principle of conquer and divide under the belt of the explorer
