The Heart of a Thousand Souls

We are-
The heart of a thousand souls
Therefore, no one knows
The stories that go untold 
As our lives unfold
And as the tale goes
Our lives are being froze
In the scheme of our every dream
Must command, must control
What occurs inside
Where we sometimes hide 
Our pride
And of our face and name
We are often ashamed
Shall we remain 
A slave of our own blame?-
Where as, let us refrain
From this game
But let us roll life’s dice
Once more
Let us take a stand for 
The emotional being 
In that which you are now seeing
The love
The hate
The shame
The blame
The joy 
The pain
Through every romance
Through every circumstance
Through our souls, we advance
The heart of the soul 
We express  
How we are cursed
And how we are blessed:
So we’re taking you on a journey
To the bottom of our pits
And you just might find light
In the shadows of our abyss
