Mortal Man

Mortal Man… I’ve awakened all my demons …And it suddenly appears The death of all my dreams And the re-birth of all of my fears Times I know I’m not alone Other times, like now I know I am Sinking down just like a stone No strength for my last stand See me…breaking down See me…a mere mortal man There’s certain sadness That courses through my veins A delicate and fine line To manage all my pain Some of it imagined, how much of it is real The only gauge I have is the way that I now feel See me…breaking down King without his crown A mere mortal man Whose life slipped through his hands See me…breaking down Blood spilled on the ground A mere mortal man This is not what he had planned Our world a tainted paradise In which everyone must live Always for the chosen few The rest of us must give No reciprocation as good intent declines Even outcast by our families For those we did provide Expendable, disposable… Yes, each of us must die But how many of us have truly lived And not been forced to live a lie See me…breaking down Never a king that wore a crown A mere mortal man Whose life slipped through his hands See me…breaking down Blood spilled on the ground A mere mortal man And this is not what he had planned
