I'll not drag you down with me
but discourage you, to follow
no future, that I can see
just a bitter pill, to swallow
Each and every path I grasp
no fortune to smile or favor
my heart until my last gasp
nothing to taste, or savor
With my final breath and sigh
I'll not wish to find you there
no life or soul or tears un-cried
nothing equal and/or spared
Live your life beyond this field
the blood the fire and the screams
never give up, or yield
or compromise
your dreams

I'll not drag you down with me
but discourage you, to follow
no future, that I can see
just a bitter pill, to swallow
Each and every path I grasp
no fortune to smile or favor
my heart until my last gasp
nothing to taste, or savor
With my final breath and sigh
I'll not wish to find you there
no life or soul or tears un-cried
nothing equal and/or spared
Live your life beyond this field
the blood the fire and the screams
never give up, or yield
or compromise
your dreams
Time moves in only one direction
always
