Down deep beyond the muck
Past this show of intelligence,
the facade 'greater than yours'
After midnight follies
Past feigned glories
There exists the divine knowledge
A power so intense
To the facade of rebellion
Unintended yet unavoidable
Power is devastation, humiliation
self-centered, uncaring
All the same, the truth stains
Her force be love
