Eternity
Hearts unfold to shelter the pain lest I shall refrain,
The shadow pulls an ellusive sweat through viable regret;
In the face of devastation we still see his smile
Cause we know all the great while his blood
Was chosen for the benefit of others;
Blinded eyes to unfold this vested circle of love expressed
With no shoulder to cry in torment to watch us bleed evil deed
Exposed to the elements once more...
In viable degrade of dust to withstand the sweat on his hand
Hoping someday all will understand?
A hand to hold until the very rights to you are sold....
A heart to beat with sweat to bleed;
Eternity!
Blood soaked sheets in reprise to heat,
Shadows torn fragments stirring within imagination
Fought back the pain released in its salutation;
Eternity
Blood shed in our streets
Send the troops home...
With no good reason for them to roam,
Still a hand to hold the brave unfold through sad episodes
Eternity
Fought back the pain from within by a little help from a friend
Shelter lies dormant onto its beckoning call drawn near
The fullness puzzled by night sweat from a fallen union!
