The Dying

Ice is spoken
Bonds are broken
New found void where
Emptiness pours in
Mind to darkness
Heart to stone
Once a part of
Now alone
What God has joined
Man unfolds
Til indifference do we part
To choke until cold
When all is done
And all is said
What once was living
Has become dead

Darkness weighs down on this Earth
A doom that all can feel
It eats away at our souls
Though we pretend it isn't real
We feed our flesh amusements
To distract us from the fear
Out of sight means out of mind
We pretend we're happy here
Our hands plucked out our eyes
The same severed our ears
For the truth is so much sweeter
When you neither see nor hear
And yet there stands a lasting hope
A cry above the sky
"Return to me, my children
Your only hope is I"
"But I am whole, not broken"
Says the man "and all is well"
As the cancerous dark consumes him....
"I do not need your help"

The Greatest of These

Let us not forget-
Let us understand-
That cold hearts tend to create cold hands-
And your black soul removed from the grave-
Was grace given, so that others might be saved-
Words without love-
A clanging noise-
Faith without love-
Is null and void-
Works without love-
Remain empty -
Sacrifice without love-
Gains not a thing-

When all is done

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow at daybreak
Catch the fastest train around nine
Yes I'm leaving the sorrow and heartache
Before it takes me away from my mind
Send me love and I may let you see me
Send me hopes that can spin in my head
But if you really want me to answer
I can only let you know when I'm dead
When sadness fills my days
It's time to turn away
And let tomorrow's dreams
Become reality to me
So realize I'm much better without you
You're not the one and only thing in my heart
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living
But this time I'm gonna have the star part
