In the lie that's told;
But truth is there
As value in gold.
Truth is the fact
Of what you've been told,
When fiction peeled
Is left in the cold.
Truth has a way
Of helping unfold -
Fact from the tale
You thought you had sold.
Nor be very bold,
Trying to sway
From that which you hold.
But truth is truth
That will not be rolled
Into the dark
Or into the cold.
You may get away
With the lie you told -
But "Truth will out"
And you will be cold.
