Today Pain shall write for me
As these feelings are just so hard to see
By my heart’s eyes that look only at white
But never at its own dreary plight
Of the pain that is inflicted
By my dreams, now convicted
Of the crime of incompletion
And sentenced to perdition
I craved for glory and fortune and fame
The eternal happiness to be remembered by name
I created the visions of peace and life
And I as the sole destroyer of strife
Time blows away like smoke from a fire
Only to be seen near the flames, never higher
My flames are weak, ******* me dry
Bringing me close to the day when I shall cry
Is my reality too unreal to be real
Or am I just incapable to feel…
That dreams are never meant to come true.

Of the crime of incompletion
And sentenced to perdition
I craved for glory and fortune and fame
The eternal happiness to be remembered by name
I created the visions of peace and life
And I as the sole destroyer of strife
Time blows away like smoke from a fire
Only to be seen near the flames, never higher
My flames are weak, ******* me dry
Bringing me close to the day when I shall cry
Is my reality too unreal to be real
Or am I just incapable to feel…
That dreams are never meant to come true.
