Transport youself to Central Europe at the beginning of the 20th Century, discovering that the truth shall set one free of convention. Throw in further enlightenment, a girl, some time travel to the seventies and you have Back to the Future as made by Merchant Ivory.
lyrics
Honesty
I believe in honesty
Not for me diplomacy
Speak my mind
That troubles some
At ease with what I've become
But light is low
at end of day
and you are never far away
And when it comes to haunting me
a study in tenacity
When I see you
I will surely fall
Willing victim
Tragic after all
Incandescence
burning brighter still
A billion starbursts
Life's ends final thrill
I believe in honesty
stakes I raise incrementally
take my chances when they come
at ease with what I've become
But stage is set
and curtain raised
the brave are damned
The fool is praised
and in the shadows
Lurks the one
Who has the will
Will fortune turn?
When I see you
I will surely fall
Willing victim
Tragic... aren't we all?
Incandescence
burning brighter still
A billion starbursts
Life's ends final thrill
