It's Done

I love the sweet taste of irony engraved onto these cement walls The troubled kiss of courage, would guarantee that you never fall I'd miss the growing ebony thoughts that flow like rivers and wine To graze the simplest of truths Would be to grace the divine A daring act of hope will last Through the cloud of tears A trial to be forgotten hence For years and years and years Stretch the metaphor to sing aloud Amongst the chorus deep within The love will run rampant now Through the gates of sin A liar was made of me today When I told the world who I was For I see no reason to ever be For I only seek a single cause Please take from me this hand To hold in glory and in fate To remember the past I had To have done everything too late
