Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall Street corner justice beware The spirit will find you always be fair The shallow verse once read means nothing at all Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall In lies your heart will not share The spirit inside used without care The spirit that guides you follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside is used without care The battlefield of glory pales into rust The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust No beast alive does compare The spirit beside you everywhere Let not your head be turned by tainted reward And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard Your conscience could not repair The spirit inside used without care 'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind The loss of choices praises no-one will sing No clues to how you will fare The spirit implores you tread where you dare The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor Distinction disappears the worm both deplore The candle burns out once more But the spirit inside you won't be ignored
