Demons of myth stand idly by,
The angels shed not a single tear.
Faith broken down and the wings that came with it,
Heaven and hell wage their battles here.
Is it really worth everything you gave?
What a beautiful way to waste away.
If I wanted something to be afraid of,
I'd take a long look in the mirror today.
What do we stand for if we live in fear?
What do we amount to if we don't face it?
What can we do when we sold our chances,
And stricken, find nothing else to replace it?
Find your voice in the symphony,
Become the kings and queens we're meant to be.
Leave bedtime nightmares in their place.
For the crowned shall be crownless,
A corrupt reign replaced.
You led the goat to the slaughter,
The same stories, the same twists.
Hear my name in your last hour,
An extra nail for your wrists.
Brilliant! BRAVO!
STANDING OVATION FOR EACH STANZA FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST! A MASTERPIECE! SS.
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
I like this, especially love
I like this, especially love the lines "What do we stand for if we live in fear?
What do we amount to if we don't face it?"
Awesome!
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
