Flames of Desire

Look at all the souls
Following their roles,
Drawn by a wrong call
Life drains them all.

Wake up from false reality
And face your mortality.
Find no fear in scary eyes
For death has no lies.

Only love could ever save
What lust made its slave.
You're lost, who's to blame
Stop playing this game.

Look not for meaning in pride
Nor force desires to hide.
To change before you end
Your perspective must bend

In a new dawn you shall rise
And a cunning plan devise.
Knowing it might be in vain
Don't miss that train.
