As the World Shakes Below
As the world shakes below empty,broken homes
We hold close to use those who stand alone
Draw lines against those who let them go
The winds perish lands from under our feet
Yet we reach out to hands of old and weak
Lips are silenced but their eyes still speak
In the buds of life is the seed of trust
In the midst of evil is passion and lust
Surrender of love is nothing but pain
Memory of vengeance is written in vain
On shadows of my mind lies pure ecstasy
Success is the peace bought within me
Regret is the past almost forgotten to bury
