What Is Left of This Soul

When all is lost and never to be found,
                            My soul was taken without a mudder or sound
                           I never thought in my years, i would see something so cold
                          I attemped to take part, and stick to my role
                        Everything has now changed, nothing will ever be the same
                      Yelling at the voices, telling me i'm to blame
                    Maybe they are wrong, or once again they are right
                   With a plan full of sin, i disappear in the night
                  How did i change, into this person of discrase
                I never wanted to win, just wanted to finish the race.

This Daughter of Mine

You are more beautiful than the most shimmering stone,
The love that I feel will never run cold
From the first time I seen you, I knew you were mine
Everyone quick to tell me that everything would be fine
From the first time I held you, from the first time you slept on my chest
I felt in my soul that I would give you my best
Your mother and I were not met to last,
you left this world to soon, I wish it was me that had past
My daughter, my love, you mean the whole world to me
I will see you some day, when I pay the boat keepers fee.
