Sep 2012
Wheels turn bullet casings clatter
The tomb is filled with rotted corpses
Of men and women so once filled vibrant life
We are escaping from nowhere in holy light
Anxieties are shedding like Autumn leaves

Prophets of death hidden wars
Press the button easily pursuing mass death
In people there is a fear and a hate so vast
That to cast this vote takes no second thought
Destroy the shadow before the shadow takes you

Breaking former promises with stranger's a
Tale is told for the sake of the passing down of stories
People make believe that belief is stronger than the will
But to see the two as one is the mirror revolving
The lakes of the world freeze as the sun loses its heat

Separating right from the wrong
Leaving the cold wind to the North
A spreading of fables and disease
The voices of the past elude to the cracked
Fragments of the one's forgetful in the present

On the tram the naked truth of the twilight morning
Spreads her finger through the cracked glass and
The split ends of Her hair rest upon my shoulders
Lonesome eyes hang in front of me as the sirens of
Drunken mishaps droop like lightless street lamps

I taste the fresh air mixed naturally with gasoline
And nicotine and children's sweet red lollipop laughter
The disaster has not been dropped yet, but the
Streets have gone through worse before - life was much
Harder back then when no one trusted each other
