Blades of Glass

Fragmented truths weave into whole lies
with mounting doubt beauty dies
Each breath I take I gasp for more
crawling through broken windows
Behind closed doors

Greed bleeds the soul of truth and love
Innocents devoured by hands of blood
Selfishness pleads with lust it feeds
the flood is at the rooftop
The world prays on her knees

Forsaken and shaken hate rules
The fires of hell now feel cool
To each other, we fraudulently trash
our souls melting from tears
Like walking barefoot on shiver blades of glass
