Monumentum

This is actually a song I wrote. I know this site is supposed to be for poetry but I felt compelled to share it with you all. You'll see that part of it is the same as one of my other poems, that poem inspired this song. To many times In to many places Memories combine With to many faces There was a time When I was young And everything Was beautiful Now it feels Like I've lived A thousand years Those memories Are gone I have loved A thousand lives And lost A thousand more I have lived With an empty heart The enemy once more Memories From the days of old Corrupt my very dreams The things I've done And things I've lost Are memories obscene My thoughts have turned To darkness now The light begins to fade The things that haunt My very dreams The world has turned away Cuz there are To many times In to many places Where memories combine With to many faces Blood has been Lost from me I've numbed My very soul Theres nothing here But my own pain The shadows Carry on I've cursed the name Of the one above Was brought down To my knees Where darkness fell I was reborn A savage Hate indeed I brought myself Up off the ground And tried to carry on But everything Tries to pull me down Back upon the ground And there are To many times In to many places Where memories combine With to many faces The memories Are growing dim The truth Becomes obscured When nothing Holds it close To heart It is replaced by fear Theres pain In even the smallest tear When love is never shown In darkness grows The saddest light Of heartbreak still held dear Sometimes it feels Like its taking hold And death is looming near When there is nothing In this world That you still hold dear What is this feeling Deep inside That brings itself to light This emptiness Inside my heart Will bring Misery and strife And there are To many times In to many places Where memories combine With to many faces There was a time When I was young And everything Was beautiful Now it feels Like I've lived A thousand years The memories Are gone.....
