Truth Lay Dead

All that I hear from the devil’s mouth

Is never question what I said

Oh, when I try to find

Where I’ve been lead

And the assault won’t stop

Until the truth lay dead

-The Echo Era

This is half of the chorus from one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, The Echo Era. I love these lyrics a lot, and it's mostly because of how spiritually applicable they are. In 3 Nephi 18:18, it says "ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat."

Satan is bitter and angry, and he will never stop his assault on us, not until "the truth lay dead." He seeks to destroy our happiness and to pervert the simple truths the Lord gives us in the form of scripture and prophetic counsel. We are all trying to find our way, and we can choose whether to follow the Lord or not, and that choice decides what path we are going to allow ourselves to go down. 

Because the assault won't stop, we must defend ourselves. We must protect truth and light, and never, ever let them die in us.
