Playing For Amazing Grace

It’s the secret game of truth and lies In that moment when your soul starts to fly Take a stroll Fill the void Lonely Footsteps Daily Grind Got it on cruise control Shadows cross the county line Face your maker in that final breath As all the blood rushes to your head Making your body quiver Sanity surrenders to An undying dread You let confusion and pain Coupled with doubt and fear Rule your heart and your head But that’s NOT what the Good book said Carry on pace yourself It’s just a crying shame The battles only just begun You’ve only got yourself to blame Nobody’s come to mourn Long forgotten faces swim In a sea of your own reality Flooded with emotions and memories Of those moments lost to time Pressed hard in the cold Swamped by neglect Reveal a devastating deep regret Carry on and pace yourself It’s just a crying shame The battles only just begun You’ve only got yourself to blame Easy breezy Raising Caine Nailed to the cross Whimpering in pain Loosed in temper Death has become The final contender As the sun sinks low And your feet can’t find the road It’s all spelled out In binary code Slight of hand and with a flick of the wrist The jesters gaze is hard to resist Happiness’ just a phone call away All in on that crazy train Walking hand in hand Complacency and cowardice Are just enough To make a good man go insane Fire in the eyes Hollow in the belly Vacant room Head full of jelly Vacant room Full of empty frames Friends I have lost Friends I have found Love Is supposed to make the world go round Heavy heart and heavy head Are just a ball and chain Dancin with the Ravens Singing in the rain In the Belladonnas blackness Only deaths cold grip Remains And as it swallows you whole You are left there ALL alone To play your final role.
