Angst

Life has cruelty in it I find
it’s so uncaring, so cold
and so very unkind.

Life and it's despair
Nothing is certain, nothing is just
Is there no one in this world
Whom we can trust?

Life and its emptiness
We are so unaware
Of the sadness
Hatred
And loneliness
That awaits us out there

Life and it’s turmoil
Where does it lead?
It leads to nowhere
Life's warning I heed.

It's too late now
We must go on
Nothing is lost
Nothing is won

I'll try to live my life
The best that I can
Although I do not always understand
Why people's hearts grow cold
Why they wither and die
Then I look at this thing
Called life
And now I know why

Two Paths

I dabbled in darkness
For a glimpse of the light

All that was wrong
I'd mistaken for right

Truth waits in silence
When sought 
It is found
Dwell in its glory
And no suffering abounds

Children of the lie
Hear not the righteous cry
Underground they commence
Will you not pray for their recompense?
