I am,
Forsaken,
As a lost memory,
As death before birth.


I am,
A lost battle,
An end beckoned,
An adversary of light.


As The moon still shines
when the sun pretend to die
In the azure sky where blossoms have been strewn.
On me it shines not

with every gulp of courage, I ready my will.
A ticket to hell, my heart beat still.
The voice of the clock tells me its time to go.
A stumble into darkness, you may never know.

My flesh saw it's tearing apart.
There's no other life, sweetheart.
Screams and shouts I chanted
As the only joy I knew was enjoyed by the wicked.

All is just
       In life;
  In war, in love
In dying, in living.
Life is fair!
Even at night,
She's compensated by the moon

Save Aleppo oh Lord, send down the rain

relief her soldiers, from this steady pain

save Aleppo oh Lord, let Peace prevail

solace her children, our mothers pray.

Rise! Oh Kilimanjaro
Where cherished desires glow
Rise and touch the high sky

If Roses were dark
Beneath life finds
A dwelling place

"one more stick"
His sorrows petitioned .

As the cigarette kept the streak
Death smiled gladly.

I loved
The taste of her lips
Her demons never slumbered
