the wind blew like a roaring dragon
the rain fell like screaming bullets
the darkness engulfed the vast terrain
i said to myself, "surely this is the end"

the wind picked up a red barn roof
and threw it across the corn field
lighting struck and split a tree
"i will not live to see tomorrow" i said

but i was wrong, i did live
the storm passed and the sun shone
the bright rays of the shun warmed my skin
blue skies greeted my weary heart

i feel all alone in this great crowd
loneliness wraps my heart like a shroud
it's been a long time since i had a friend
for how long can i smile and pretend

darkness encroaches my soul like a mist
and punches my spirit like a clenched fist
there is nothing but darkness in my heart
the feeling of emptiness is tearing me apart

many times i've tried to tame this beast
tried to exorcise this evil like a priest
each time i have failed miserably
strengthening the beast considerably

i can not keep fighting this losing battle
my hand is weak and my heart is brittle
years of heartbreak have taken their toll
it has killed my spirit and crushed my soul

now it is clear to me what i must do
it's no easy task, but do it, i have to
there is only one way to guarantee success
that is to **** the body the demons possess

Life is a funny thing, it’s always been
Just when you think you are up, it drags you down
With every grasp I try to reach
The elusive promised land

Walked many a mile, I have
But I am yet to see
That glorious land
but get there, one day I will

Then all my sorrow will be gone
All my tears will be wiped away
I will not tire anymore
finally I will be… home

I’ve come a long way to get to where I am
but the daemons keep on pursuing me
for every step I take towards the light
the dark ones are inches ahead of me

I’ve been down many a rabbit hole
and climbed back out in tatters
I’ve run towards the morning sun
until my feet were heavy and weary

I climbed to the top of the mountain
I worked my way up there
and in the faraway distance
I saw the promised land

I kept running towards the city of light
I ran with all my might
the closer I got to it, farther away it was
seems like it wasn’t meant to be

But giving up is not an option
Where will I go if I give up?
I have nowhere else to go
So keep trudging I will

When you are tempted to doubt my love
don’t …
When the uncertainty starts to creep up
stop …

I am deeply flawed
but my love for you is not
it’s as pure as it gets
I love you with all I’ve got

I love you with all my heart
deeper than the deepest ocean
higher than the highest mountain
purer than the purest gold

do my mistakes erase all we had?
have my foolish actions destroyed everything?
Have we lost the love, never to be found?
is it too late, have we lost it forever?

What can I do to make up for my sins?
what price can I pay for my transgressions?
can I ever be forgiven?
or are my iniquities too great?

Please forgive me…

I found a dying man
He was laying on the ground
Blood streaming down his chest
Gasping desperately for air

He tried to dig out the knife from his chest
But it was plunged in too deep
He put his hands over his wounds
As if to stop the bleeding

He reached out his hand
And tried to touch me
It was a plea for help
He was asking me to save him

But I didn’t help him
I just stood there and watched him die
I didn’t help him at all
Because I am the one who stabbed him
