Dark Journeys
I dress my sanity with stains
I witness this painting once again
To see the burning ones still dance
This world ever laughing throughout its trance
And beasts will sing to me their deeds
Of rape and despair, and decaying trees
All branching through the skies once more
Spreading the seeds for another war
And youth will sway to our demise
The ego latching to the weakest minds
Ignorance climbing through a screen
Death is a movie that we’ve all seen
And reason is spawned from this disease
Hating the things that hatred sees
Born unto those that life misplaced
Examples rekindle this burning waste
A poison through the love I share
I’m lacking in strength even though I care
Examples speak to me of wrongs
For seeking the light within life’s song
And I am one with all these things
Reflections of horror that help me sing
I cleanse the hurt that scars my heart
Release soul from silence; from fear depart
