No Compromise
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 Behind those doors 
Closed off in our mind 
Are all those chores  
To which we were blind 
What the eye doesn't see 
The heart doesn't grieve 
When the spirit is free 
Then it's time to Believe 
Let sleeping dogs lie 
For they make no sound  
They're keeping the torment 
of truth underground  
Those secrets and stories 
Of innocent youth 
are the soil of deceit 
On the coffin of truth
