In the land of turmoil
Ravaged by the storms
Arcs of blackened lightning
Scar the sky for ever
The oceans boil
Barren desert left behind
Lifeblood bled dry
Severed deep and drained away
The roads that I seem to travel
Are convulsed and obscene
So may I wish upon a thousand stars
Can I wander alone inside a dream
I fall down to my knees
Mocking laughter reverberates
Inside my minds eye I’m blind
I see the scars grow as I fall to my fate
The whispers muse and taunt
I strip the grief away
I sit up from a sweat soaked mattress
And hope for change today
But in a land of excess
Brought down to its knees like I
I see the faces distorted wide with grins
As I can only question why
I see the mountains crumble
Ice melts in a thaw
I stand alone in twilight
I plead for an end, I plead for no more
All the roads I ever travelled
They are marked with pitch black thorns
I may sleep or wake up screaming
As after all I am just a pawn
So I lie atop the razors
Feel them push deep into my skin
I opened my heart to wonders long gone
So now I’m being driven insane from within.
