By Arcassin Burnham

If heaven had a green light,
Telling you to go for what you want,
Dividing all the sacrificed from the saved,
State of limbo doesn't seem right,
We always don't get what we want in life,
You'd rather have a life,Then all your family looking at your grave,
Safe to say man! that kid was brave,
I had a wish for you,
It seem to fade away,
Almost knowing things were true,
So the lies will fade away too.

I love death

The Battle

The battle is won, the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only built to destroy

No matter what he tried
                                         He tried
No matter who was right
                                            Who was right?
No matter if he lied
                                                                 He lied
No matter, there was a fight
                                                                            There was a fight

And his war raged on and on
Lovers present and lovers gone
The battle is won, and the tears pour on

A wounded heart, a wounded soul
All alone in no man’s land
The enemy, strong, took its toll
Left his friends to disband
The girl in his pocket can’t save him now
From these hellish sights and hellish sounds

The battle is won, but the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only made to love and destroy
