all thats needed is one lifetime
to do it right
but lifespans thought past midnight
the struggle goes on
day before daybreak
sending passive sons to the creator
while the earth quakes revenge
for the sins of a fathers smile
lost on the doorstep of a forgotten child
its wild that war goes on the front page news
but neighbors sit home lost and confused
refusing to look past the tv screen
pick up mentality
find a new meaning
tears streaming down like slow hurried rain
hiding marks from brutal pain of the game
thats played without rules
on the court strong
ready to make fools of those whose choose to ingore
or can't see for long
roles being starved by needy greed
to aquire a bit of fire within
planting infertile seeds
just to make home be whole again
and to think this plan was once original
before the map passed on to smooth criminals
now remixed
latest form regurgitated
all night standing in line
waiting
for one true chance at glorys gate
but tickets sold out
it was too late to repair the hearts bleeding fast
on the highway switching lanes
out of gas
in the past the pathway was marked so clear
now overgrowth clouds the singing ear
but when the darkest knight comes to call
hobgoblins will run
babylon will fall to its knees
in thanks for all forgiveness
giving blessings to those
who bid fond remembrance
of once upon a time when its better to forget
spirit worn guardians soaking wet
with the blood of hands worked for years
to build the kingdom master finally fears
when it sneers backwards giving that final quip
over land where slaves hold the eternal whip
