I am from the blue sky threads of heaven and the black iron flames of hell I am innocence bathed in sin I am hatred betrayed and killed by kindness I walk the hard concrete of sidewalks lost along the roads of tragedy and romance I am ghost and soul and body inside the hollow shell of an empty heart searching for the echo of a memory of a song that was forgotten before it was ever sang I am time frozen and crumbled and wasted and trapped in hours of broken glass and freed by howling winds and raging seas where seconds expand past eternity and minutes outweigh the value of hours and days and weeks and years I am infant and small and weak I am old and aged and frail I am woman and man and devil and god and strong and wise and wicked and worn I am dream and truth I am death and illusion I begin at the end and end at forevers first footstep I am flesh and blood and time I am love
