Life

Take my last breath, 
Bring about my death, 
with the sun i will rise 
through a different set of eyes;

Peace will be found 
in a black void space, 
the mind will be made sound, 
and love will have its taste;

 back and forth in battle, 
deadly is the silence, 
but this soul don't rattle, 
caged inside the violence;

 victory aids despair,
 running circles in a square, 
and always getting nowhere fast,
 forgiven but not forgotten is the past, 
my life is down to living, 
all will get what they have given;
