The Broken BridgeWhen you stood on the bridge
He along stood firmly by your side.

The children are talking backwards
The leaders are talking in tongues
The fork’s in the soup

Watching the village as they moved about with their duties.

Hello Mr Lamp
The bringer of rays

Convener of hopes

GizmosHad a dream
All was not as it would seem
A country afraid to make war
Became a store
Started selling their war tools
To unsuspecting needy fools

In the depths of night, where fears abide,
Grim specter lurks, where shadows hide.
With hollow eyes...

LoveHealing comes slowly
Sins imagined or realized

Forcing eyes to close

Lead the familiar thread
Lined coffin living dead
To the beat how we march
Funeral shirt ready starched
2. Hush now...

Her song, a hollow stain
It haunts...
