Denounce

Visions of a destination, safe haven and retreat 
Seeking solitude from the deception that we meet 

I must go away to live
or stay here and die 
I must within myself forgive
or forever live a lie

I must throw away the keys that are reserved for my heart 
I must go to the end of the line and walk back to the start

To understand the path I must see the things before me 
To reconcile the past I must leave those who adore me

To walk the straight and narrow is the yearning of my soul 
So that I may confront temptation and gain my self-control 

Every individual has their own burden to bear 
and to each burden placed upon them 
there is a world that doesn't care 

To move beyond a world where hatred is left within 
One must begin to hurl and toss their evil sins

The Folly of Man

The Folly of Man

Into that great abyss we speak fortunes, wants and frustrations
Seeking that witch can only give us solace to that that never bothers.
A million prayers go out into the night with fear and supplications
Only one eye open, and that half seeing the plan that is our fathers.

We glean the fields of a present day pasture seeing naught but the road ahead
Never looking sideways, to that wich could be. Or back to what has passed
It is the Folly of Man that keeps us building this world from the blood of the dead
Where brick, tile and steel, are forever the molds from witch our children are cast

We need to move forward to a simpler time where things are not complex
When profit does not reign as the bottom line and the dollar is not our savior
To strive for a life where we live freely, without regard to color or sex
When hungry children can catch the breath and hate isn’t normal behavior 

When a gift is again just a gift, and no longer requires an equal requital,
And a compliment given to another isn’t for a personal gain.
When justice is sought and given, and no guilty takes home and acquittal 
And the innocent can live their lives without feeling unwarranted pain

So look to the instructions that he left us, that those, his chosen have penned,
And wander not where you road will lead you, or what your destiny really is
This world we know is fleeting and into eternity we must all ascend
For never has there been a more apparent truth, that all of this is really His.
