The Melody of Hope
There I lay upon the curb, my heart still beating
An Icy breeze cutting through, my souls was fleeting
Looking up into the skies, I saw a flash of hope
The clouds divided into blue, and dangled down a helping rope
Rising up I start again, I'm fighting stronger
The music plays inside my head, this I remember
I use the melody to build my strength, I'm shining brighter
I lace deceit with the flammable truth, I drop the lighter
The phoenix rises from the flames, I see it's eyes
Exploded candles ignite the way, I hear it's cries
The path I walk leads to my home, a second chance
At the end one final trial, it's the devils dance
There it lay upon the curb, It's heart still beating
Reaching out I take my sword, It's life depleting
One final strike and a broken heart, death becomes her
The sun comes out and begins to beam, hope forever
