Literature
Another nail, another coffin
No good can come out of this
Anything can happen in the next minute
Everything could end in the next hour
We blind ourselves to see the light
But the truth is:
We are light-years away from life
And inches away from death.
So why the effort?
Lying flat on my back, watching
The skies fall down
And the moon will crush us
My old friend
We're as calm and cold as a breeze
Have you seen it coming
Or ignored the signs
And you will think
that it is too late for me
But will you realize
it is really too late for you?
A moon rises up to erase
The light of another day
Not a word into the silence
As reality slips away
Feel the hook pull you inside
After everything has died
As in ashes I dissolve
And I spread across the sky
After all innocence is lost
Golden hearts will never rust
Under the sickening sky of disgrace
Led by the foolish wings of trust
Is this all that we can take
Burdened horizons in our wake
As we sleep the sleep of emptiness
And all that burns is meaningless
All the blood that we have bled
And all the tears that we have shed
Have we reached the end of the road
Is this as far as we can get?
Out on the fields one with the morning dew
Wish to forget all things I ever knew
Thoughts washed away by summer tides
Take me away until daylight dies
Quiet the air while the heavens shine
Losing the things that were never mine
The road is long but we might meet a few
Same ragged souls, same journey, too
Never grew old but I may call myself wise
Stricken down under the blazing skies
Follow me be emptiness our guide
And stripped of everything except our pride
Hollow souls split the dawn with cries
A sudden outbreak of hate and of lies
A growing whisper sounding through the trees
And spreading over land and seas
There's nothing
Made our way into paradise
When no one has awoken
After we've drowned beneath a sea of lies
Inside a mind so clearly broken
Out there fires burn away my night
Burning bitter and burning bright
Turning all to ashes except my doubts
There's one way in with no way out
The smallest whisper could turn the tide
And there's so much left unsaid
So let's walk hand in hand and side by side
Through empires ignited by our dead
Out there empires flourish under bleeding stars
If there's nothing left I'll count the rest of my scars
Empires lost and empires forlorn
A new scent in the air for every new born
A pale moon rose over darkest days
Out on the fields one with the morning dew
Wish to forget all things I ever knew
Thoughts washed away by summer tides
Take me away until daylight dies
Quiet the air while the heavens shine
Losing the things that were never mine
The road is long but we might meet a few
Same ragged souls, same journey, too
Never grew old but I may call myself wise
Stricken down under the blazing skies
Follow me be emptiness our guide
And stripped of everything except our pride
Hollow souls split the dawn with cries
A sudden outbreak of hate and of lies
A growing whisper sounding through the trees
And spreading over land and seas
There's nothing
Made our way into paradise
When no one has awoken
After we've drowned beneath a sea of lies
Inside a mind so clearly broken
Out there fires burn away my night
Burning bitter and burning bright
Turning all to ashes except my doubts
There's one way in with no way out
The smallest whisper could turn the tide
And there's so much left unsaid
So let's walk hand in hand and side by side
Through empires ignited by our dead
Out there empires flourish under bleeding stars
If there's nothing left I'll count the rest of my scars
