I have wandered this road of woe
I have rested these old eyes upon the wonders
Watched the evils unfold from the ***** of darkness
And the goodness prevail although it never lasts long

Yet these rusted bones are starved of the warmth
The cold has frozen these joints into place
Left my heart in fragmented splinters that pierce my flesh
And leave my insides bruised and sore

This soul that has seen the lithe clouds of paradise
And felt the stinging wash of Hell's devouring seas of fire
Will wait no more for the fingertips that will rest it's warmth
And bring me back from this state of living dead

Reincarnate the parts of me that have long since found their earthy bed
And wake the memories that have faded from this feeble minded head
Set ablaze the fire that once burned inside my being
And vanquish the icicles that have made a home in my bones

Just love me

I figured my blood was clean of this sickness
Thought the light had banished the dark
Fought to break free of what lay underneath
But these wounds are reopened
Bleeding beneath my skin
And the tears fall again
I hope I won't break
this time

Fist to fist
An eye for an eye
A hit and a miss
Alone they cry

Shackled to this imagination
Welded to those fears
Brain let loose on a crazy fascination
Fixated on those tears

A world on fire beneath a blazing sun
Ashes falling down
Flames swallow everyone
Singed those who stood around

Night fell over the land
Washing it in it's foreboding shadow
The wind whistled a tune promising tragedy
The symphony of a thousand hooves beating the earth
Sang along with the gust of the nights frosty breath
Cries of war hanging overhead

"Here come the Knights!"
Men cheered as they readied for battle
Armor draping over flesh
Swords thrusting, piercing the sky

"This night our savior shall prevail!"
The men declared
Placing their souls in the hands of one
They hoist themselves upon their steed

"We ride tonight, We ride to fight!"
A roar of agreement breaks through the darkness
Cloaked in their will to live
They rode out with a thousand demons on their trail

"We will not surrender!"
They shouted a promise so thick with emotion
"We fight for our women, our children, our land!"
They cried a devotion only a warrior could hold
"We fight, our souls be ******!"

Go to school
Education is the key
It will give you
All that you need

Get a job
The money is worth it
It will buy all you want
As long as you don't spend it

Work
Learn
Work
Learn
When do we sleep?
Where is my life
Why do I weep?

They say cash is the prize
Work is the goal
But if these ambitions keep digging in
My heart won't be a whole

Work to the grave
Because really I'm just a slave

Why am I so disappointed if I have everything I want?
*Because I have nothing I need.
