1941

Crying into your soul
You crumble, and stagger.
The fire shall be awoken from the tear that rolls down your cheek.
Snakes rise from the ashes that lay on the ground of your carcass
For the frost on your eyelids can not reach your roots,
The roots that are a part of the puzzle.
And who moves through the shadows of strangers?
Leaping on bounds of glory - behind the masses - behind the faces.
To bring the fitting piece to the table?
Did you lose yourself upon the stars, or in my eyes?
Let me be the one to stand on the cross
My knees steady - and feet ready.
And I keep closing my eyes...
So you can chart my trip.
And if you do this - I know I can fly farther through the wings of your flight.
For you - and only you - know the demons that lay ahead.
The fear of being without you, alone - scares me
Its obvious that I scream so you will find me.
Crawled in a corner with the tears bleeding down my face..
I don't know how it happened
I want to shout, scream and bleed the bloody youths of the nation
But it will never be enough.
Get up with me, and scream
And just bleed the youth.. and the tragic fate they play upon us
We are on the edge of the 21st century in the 23rd hour.
It's like sand is passing through my hands,
Because my life is wasting away..
But now - times up.
Feed me
Tempt me
And slap my hand when I take the goods
For even if you scold me - I just want to be near you.
Screaming deep within from sight of this army
The onslaught from the rapid acceleration of the waves
For it is the water that keeps crushing me - smashing my souls fairy dust
The darkness falls and the light struggles to get up on my life
Love me for me.
Where are you?
For even the footprints are washed out from the sand
Look into my eyes.. and disappear.
