Truth Cannot Perish (VHS Power Mix)

A little experiment from a song that originally came out of our Soliloquies album. Truth cannot perish. It lives beyond the light of time. We added some metal and hip hop and some new lyrics. Enjoy!! ------------------------------- *Augustine Quotes* “I want to know God and the soul. Nothing more.” “I know only this: passing and falling things must be set aside; certain and eternal things must be sought.” “O God, Truth itself, in whom, from whom, and through whom all true things are true.” “God is the one who gives light.” “Without faith, hope, and love, no soul is healed so that it can see God — that is, understand him.” “When something true passes away, Truth does not pass away.” “O God, always the same, let me know myself; let me know you.” “Truth will remain, even if the world passes away.” “Therefore Truth will in no way die.” “Turn away from your shadow. Return into yourself. There is no death for you, unless you forget that you cannot perish.” *Lyrics* If the world should fall away, Stars consumed, the night will stay, Still one voice will never die— Truth remains beyond the sky. Every shadow, every flame, Fades, but Truth is still the same. Truth cannot perish, it will endure, Even when all else is unsure. Truth cannot perish, forever it stands, Written eternal by unseen hands. If the frame of things should break, Still the soul its stand will take. Every science, every line, Holds the mark of the divine. Every doubt the night has cast, Falls before the light at last. Truth cannot perish, it will endure, Even when all else is unsure. Truth cannot perish, forever it stands, Written eternal by unseen hands. Reason said, “What do you want?” I said, “God and the soul.” Nothing more in my hands, That is all I need to know. I was searching through myself, Through the smoke inside my mind, Looking for the doorway I had somehow left behind. Memory can’t carry Every fire that I find, So I write down the sparks Before they fall out of time. My eyes want the sunlight, But my sight is still weak, Heal what is wounded Before I try to see. Faith wakes the vision, Hope lifts my head, Love holds me steady Where the old self bled. I know that I am, I know that I live, I know that I think, What more can Truth give? If the whole world ended, It would still be true That the whole world ended— Truth comes breaking through. False lights flash, But they borrow their flame, Every shadow survives By pretending a name. The mirror is not me, The dream cannot heal, The picture wears a face, But the face is not real. Truth is not dust, Truth is not breath, Truth does not bow To the empire of death. So Reason, keep pressing, Let the old fear burn, If Truth lives within me, Then my soul can return. Bang bang— The shadows fall. Bang bang— Truth outlives all. Bang bang— The night is gone. Bang bang— The light goes on. Truth cannot perish, it will endure, Even when all else is unsure. Truth cannot perish, forever it stands, Written eternal by unseen hands. Truth cannot perish, it will endure, Higher than fire, deeper than the storm. Truth cannot perish, forever it stands, Alive in the soul where the light is born. Truth cannot perish. Truth cannot perish. Truth cannot perish. The light goes on.
