My brother, sister
Your life is a butter
lamp,offering.
For our nation and land;
For the freedom and rights.
The moment, burning,
The sparks
Aroused thousands of Tibetans,
The flames
Ignited people's souls
Until last your breathe,
Hopping,
Your death
Can change Chinese rule.
Your pain
Remained the world to help.
You died in fire
But remain alive in the world .
You were killed by torture
But died in glory.
The world is round
the world is flat
who cares, you're on it
the sun is moving or the earth is moving
are you moving?
You're cramped up in this little car or
is the car cramped up in you?
you need to go somewhere to be somewhere
are you somewhere if you stay here?
a homeless man has got a bigger house than you
How do you feel bout that?
You're waiting for something to happen
but something is not waiting for you
so why should you wait?
the question is already answered before it's asked
a question can't exist
if there is no answer
you can drink till you fall
can you carry on when you get back up
technology is evil
where do we learn most things?
Life makes no sense
what has life got to do with it?
Satan and the Hallow Oaks: A soldier’s bane
Now gone away from the world you once knew
Finding only that
You’re a faithful liar
But this is the cross you bare
The sin you follow
Fighting this curse
You only obtain burden
You learned that heaven is lost
The Hallow Oaks burned
You know you must stand
But alas you are weak
You’re broken
Your travels have left you weary
It’s funny
It never rained
Hot like a desert
But now you’ve fallen
Fallen from your kingdom
Here you do not rule
Here it snows
You’re far from the fire
But his reach is growing
And the world…
The world is only temporary
You know this
But your compassion has got the better of you
You feel as though you must fight for them
Them!
They who defiled your name
Ignored your wisdom
A common solder you are not
For now you have become the last hope
Following the wind you’re past fades future is realized
This is the solders bane
There is a world I know
Perhaps only I know and knew
An otherness everyone beholds
And to understand… are you those few?
We hear the voices in our head
And we utter them under our breath
Sleeping with us in our bed
Did we know whence our devil has left?
And they call in dreams
Voicing me along in unchain melody
I did not lose… I dare not win
Did the balance sought kept me free?
I did not know I’m capable of such
These dreams… those thoughts
Some otherness yet learnt to touch
Yet sleeping in reality… what is not?
And I knew… to know
No one can understand anyone at all
Of worlds held… you hold
An only world yourself will applaud
Oh, world I see
As the flames of life engulf me
Do you ensnare my passion and dreams
or push me to this brink of insanity
As my breath shortens and my pace quickens
At the end I see the decimation
The scars, the cuts, the holes, the death
My life all lead up to this, the end
I may give, I may break
But not without a fight, I’ll stake
this what you tried to take
My heart is mine to give and mine to share
So for you and you and him and her I’ll bare
Who I am or who I’ll be
For everything this world breaks and hurts
It still will never take me.
I hold the weight of the world on my wings
I move surely but silently
No part of this feels like a dream
Somehow I'm still able to fly so lightly
Does the world not weight?
That it makes no difference on me
Perhaps the timing is late
Perhaps I've grown carefree
No matter what, I'll keep on flying
Making sure not to look back
Looking forward shine's brightly
For I've all ready flown my past
This much is true
I'll keep flying even when the skies are not blue
Hour after hour,
second after second.
Wishes *do they come true?*,
or is it are imagination?
Soon this world will not be up,
and all our hopes will be gone.
The wind will blow us away,
and no one will be left to age again.
Dreams are worth catching,
even if you are in a bad position.
*Explosion*
Save your energy,
take adventures.
Soon nothing will make sense,
yet I'll be here for you baby.
Throw after throw,
apologies after apologies.
Honey, save your breathe,
make this world something.
THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE HERE FOREVER!
CHANCES WILL BE WASTED AND TEARS WILL BE DROWNING EVERYONE IN.
I know you,
I know your story.
You’re deferent,
So am I.
Come fly with me,
Run away,
They don’t want us,
Yet they’ll keep chase.
Use your broken wings angel,
Fly away.
They’re still chasing,
Can you hear them howl?
Almost there,
Just keep going.
Were almost save,
Just keep going.
Keep faith,
We’ll always have each other,
Keep faith,
And fly away.
In the air were invincible,
But they’ll keep coming.
We’ll never be save,
Our world will come to an end.
Come fly with me,
We’ll fly away.
Leave this world behind,
Come fly with me,
. . . one last time.
He walks through the lush fields of grass,
letting it brush his palms as he glides by,
a dog sits, and watches him pass,
the city grows smaller, and the air is dry.
On the boy walks, with nowhere to go,
away from the home, that he never had,
hitching his way, with nothing to show,
"Why", he asks, "is this world so mad?".
He is truly happy, and his mind content,
he wears walking shoes, that push him on,
the sun sets, the world is bent,
as it gets dark, all visions are gone.
The countryside lay quiet, in the gentle night,
by the road, the boy sits by a tree,
he can't stay awake, try as he might,
but before sleep, he realises, "I'm finally free!"
