From darkness comes understanding, Light blinds one from the Truth

Did you know
There’s a dark side
To every moon

And did you realize
You have no way to know
A smile from a frown

How do you manage to
Smile in the friendly light
While scratchin’ in the dark

How did you
Kill the pauper while you
Threw him the alms?

There’s a meaning to every bond
A two-way street
To travel along

You can’t be the assassin
While you still are the
Friend you pose to be

I didn’t know
There’s a dark side
To every moon

I didn’t know
It’s better to stay
In the glowing dark

Waiting for you to throw me the alms
And pull out the whip
When you see me smile


They pose to be your friends and draw you into comfort, then they bring down the whip of authority to tame you. This one’s about how people in control exercise their control to their wish. And we all know wishes can be unfair.
