Always Up's Down Again

candles burning 
in the wind
good runs out 
and evils in
from earth to sand
through all mans sin
always up's down again

you feel the need
to plant the seed
as leaves are falling
from the trees

with diamond eyes
disguised in hate
foretelling lies
that captivate
they glamorize 
the hands of fate
to victimize 
and infiltrate

so now the mind 
is mesmerized
For all the world to see

but now its time
to walk the line
your time has come to be

candles burning in the wind
diamond eyes that long for sin
you look inside, and see within
always up's down again
