Less than perfect, yes I know
Not much to show
Gleaning meaning of timeless reading
Wisdom’s afterglow
Like an apple for example
Or the worm within
Forbidden fruit is tainted truth
No man without sin

Judging me, blaming you
Hypocrites all
Heated vows and furrowed brows
Still… comes the fall
Less than perfect, yes I know
Damned all the same
Blinded eyes and selfish pride
All of us to blame

A timeless melody
Of unbroken wisdom
Words by which we prosper
A mirror for the soul
We are all forgiven
That’s all I have to offer
Pearls before swine
That's all I have to offer...

Tireless tongues yammering guile
Voices all resound
Woman’s vanity and man’s pride
Know no bounds
All that’s spoken by spirits broken
Can’t be unheard
History now holds to account
Every uttered word

A timeless melody
Of unbroken wisdom
Words by which we prosper
A mirror for the soul
We are all forgiven
That’s all I have to offer
Pearls before swine
That's all I have to offer...
