Untitled

I'll climb again from my stranded slump claw the walls of this pit too rise use my legs that have been absent long to push over the parapet my eyes i'll struggle through these war remains kick bone and blood thats mixed in mud hunch my back against the rain and hope this darkness goes for good i walk down time forgotten roads who's only sign of life is death littered with life conquering machines is the only sign of life thats left their shells are burnt out like my soul the trees around a charcoaled mess the sky is black in the summers day the air has come to rob my breath i walk till i find the land i knew that busy buzzing urban sprawl and when again my eyes see blue theres the place i come to fall for i've no intention of dying here at the deeply darkened devils door his hoards of demons laugh and sneer but my fears shall not be shown as long as their is seed and soil will and wanting to progress together we will teach the toil that human nature can never rest we'll build the world our fathers left carry on forward with quiet resolve and sure there will be times of stress it's through these times we shall evolve
