The Revival By Michael Byron Dale Hamilton

I have felt the love
I have felt the hate
I have felt the life leave my heart

I have felt the ones I loved betray me
I have felt ones care from afar
I have always wanted a few besides me
Without them I am nothing

Whether you are there from afar
Or walking by my side
Whether patting my back
Or giving me a tender kiss of life

I have been mocked with riches
And I tore myself down 
"Life is going to hell" I said
As i crossed on to a dangerous path of life

But after today
Things have went my way
And nothing now feels wrong

The past is gone now
These times anew
But at least these times
I'll spend time with you

I was the voice of which could not be heard
I was the song which couldn't be sung
I was the one that went unnoticed
I was the bell that was un-rung

I was one of the lucky ones
I had my friends there all the way
To revive me from my aches and sorrows
Bringing back my true life

I noticed life was passing by
As life soared right by my side
I gathered all my strength and spread my wings
And now with life I fly

Decapitated Dreams

Never again
Shall I pretend
That my life's great and everlasting 
The only thing keeping my heart warm
Left me here
I'm cold
I'm collapsing

My legs are getting stiff
I can't feel up to my knees
Please get me out of this nightmare
Please make this all a dream

The numbness has spread now
It's about mid-chest
Soon I'll rest and feel nothing at all
But I don't want to leave
I try to stand up
But my arms do not work anymore

My neck has gave way
I'm cold and I'm scared
But I then heard you walk in the room
I then got happy
Hoping you would help me....
But you covered my face...
Now i sleep...
