The will is strong, but the world is relentless
The soldier takes a pill,
His time is long, but the world is endless
A body soon goes still,

Blood goes stale and the spirit leaves
And the people stare and nod
And the angel of life cries and grieves
And understands there is no God.

Forgotten romantics write their pains
Black, dead ink online of love lost,
Yet never stop to consider what they gain
fighting for love is always worth the cost

The misery you feel will pass in time
And the memory you know was worthwhile
For the short happiness was sublime
To your true love, the world is worth your smile

But take a moment to stop and decide
What you truly feel deep down inside
Did you truly love them in your heart
Or create it in your head, from the start.

I wonder would he turn and meet my face
Twisted with anguish and despair,
In this unfortunate, unnerving place
He couldn't hold my stare

How could he leave us here,
Trapped so far in the mud down low
Trembling with gut-wrenching fear
While we are slaughtered like pigs, down below

Yet I dream of stars and endless heights
Destiny, power and the earth,
Stare up into the blackest night
Ever conscience of my worth,

Tiny lights of the galaxy meet my eyes
Sliding back behind my skull,
Somewhere in a corrupt void, a man cries
Overwhelming waves of null,

A single spirit wanders the universe
Living in isolation,
Lonely alone living out his curse
Spiralling into despair and damnation,

I wish I could feel his pain
All these feelings are confined,
Against these ancient shackles, he shall strain
Fighting on to win his mind,

Wails of torment within every breath
Dry tears stream down a cheek,
Suffering against inexorable death
Lucidity is growing weak,

The will is strong, but the world is relentless
The soldier takes a pill,
His time is long, but the world is endless
A body soon goes still,

Blood goes stale and the spirit leaves
And the people stare and nod
And the soldier of life cries and grieves
And understands there is no God.
