Stone Idols and Crimson Angels

Stone Idols and Crimson Angels cannot give us what we need Instead, create confusion, delirium… living on the edge Luring temptations, no explanations, give way to condemnation The “fog” never lifting, while searching for that “perfect seed” Trust not, Stone Idols and Crimson Angels, You keep us needing, thru emotional bleeding, shame and sorrow Feeling nothing, as an empty suit, we search for elusive joy Idols and Angels consume our minds, living for tomorrow These Idols and Angels , take us into the rear view mirror To view and relive an imperfect past Wanting us to change the past, not learn from it Which would give us perfect joy…at last Make it mandatory, take each day, our inventory When our future comes calling, plan for dreams come true Build our foundations, fulfill obligations Our elusive dreams in hand…no need to still pursue Stone Idols and Crimson Angels beckon each new day, Temptations lead to defeat I choose, instead, to take the leap…the leap of faith… Letting go, real angel wings, now at my feet!
