All That Shines Is Not Truth

All that shines is not truth
All that glitters does not shine
Real beauty rarely glitters so I find
Real beauty rarely glitters so I find

Broken diamonds on the floor
Fractured beauties into violence
Muddy waters that's for sure
Despite the mist
Despite the mist

Let me lay these torn and crimson
Talking of the days to come
Never noticing that they're missing
Finding her
Finding her

The Prince in glory saw her
Cross upon his chest
Tossed aside in a crown of paper
Truly blessed
Truly blessed

The shepherd is waning
In his woolen garments
Fallen leaves flown out in the rain
By my soul
Oh, my garments
I was too clean

I was too clean
I was too clean
I was too clean
I was too clean
I was too clean
