Today is filled with anger
Fueled with hidden hate
Scared of being outcast
Afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
Which no one wants to face
Nightmares to humanities
And morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
Violence in the air
Children bred with ruthlessness
Because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
But the pressures never stops
Gnawing at my sanity
Content when I am dropped
But tomorrow I see change
A chance to build anew
Built on spirit, intent on heart
And ideals based on truth
And tomorrow I wake with second wind
And strong because of pride
To know I fought with all my heart
To keep my dream alive.
Against an attacker I will boldly take my stand
Because my heart will show fear for no man
But from a broken heart I run with fright
Scared to be blind in a vulnerable night
I believe this fear is in every man
Some will acknowledge it
Others will fail to understand
There is no fear in a shallow heart
Because shallow hearts don't fall apart
But feeling hearts that truly care
Are fragile to the flow of air
And if I am to be true then I must give my fragile heart
I may recieve great joy or you may return it, ripped apart.
I weep for the fallen
I weep for the dead
I heard the Lord calling
But it fills me with dread
My life is one of sin
And Heaven's Gates are barred
I guess I can't get in
This world has left me scarred
And in Heaven there can only be
Absolute Perfection
There's just no place for me
Refused 'cause my profession
Demands that I commit
Countless sinful crimes
But how can I forget
I'll take what's rightly mine.
In the heart of the concrete
There was a seed
In the space where the cracks meet
There sprouted leaves
Nobody took care of it
Nobody even cared
No one cared to water it
But all watched how it fared
And astonishment was all there was
When out of that darkness grew
A perfect rose that grew becase
It had something to prove
Nature's laws were there defied
And doubts were laid to rest
It struggled on, refused to die
And passed survival's test.
Over the years
I see the prison I built
Through the tears
I feel the pain and always, the guilt.
Life is never easy
But mine was living Hell
My will driven by the greedy
My own prison cell.
This construct of mine
Based on lies and evil deeds
Left me hurt and cryin'
Living by the Devil's creed.
The joy and the light
Were taken out my life
Leaving just the fight
To survive each passing night.
Each day was a dream
Each night a nightmare
Too blind to the screams
Couldn't even care.
My heart had died
And my soul was fading fast
No matter what I tired
I couldn't revive the past.
Then God sent an angel
To help me find the way
Showed me that the pain will
Slowly fade away.
And slowly the heartless
Withdrew from the fight
Emerging from the darkness
To bathe in the light.
And at last after all this time
The healing can now start
No more fighting on the front line
The rebirth of my heart.
