This is where it ends
Is it an empire or deception?
I have sailed on slave ships of doldrums
into the black sun
Waves crashed the bow
and wrecked on the shore

This is where it begins
Is it condemnation or suicide?
Take a step on the crooked concrete sidewalks
Jagged edges of busted rocks
and blistered feet

Walk the narrow road
Total blind with time
Wicked trees tickle the spine
With air as still as the night

We encounter careless souls of the mindful dead
Placed there by each of us
Head torn and mind ******
We go there each day

Walk the narrow road
No looking back to see you
Not a second is spent feeling
or pushing back the heart

I wonder why it's gone
But all too soon
Eyes crossed with double vision
Venture past the door

Stare down or look away
I am the sad one,
the sad one, THE SAD ONE !!
STOP
STOP NOW
Be lost into my lonely harmony
I fear not by my heart,
but by my inner desires to cry.

Tear drops on light tin roofs,
Tap, tap
Tap, tap
Pouring down like a hellish thunderstorm
Rhythm hard and lightning heavy

Silence beckons
