ASHES And SHADOWS

ASHES And SHADOWS

There’s the  devil to the left of me,

An angel on my right,

I’m stuck here in the middle

Between the darkness and the light

Where  the edge of shadows,

Cuts sharper than a knife,

You blame me for living,

This strange and twisted life,

Alone on this road,

Filled with troubles and with strife,

(Where I learned How To run with the wolves

Become the hunter not the prey,

In this world,

Depraved)

This is the life we built,

In this world we made.

These are the ashes here

Of the fires we laid .

These are the  ruins left,

Of the dreams we dreamed

Our hopes and schemes,

Our big charades.

Hear the echoes here,

Terrors screams,

The fallen tears

The broken hearts,

In chains of fear,

Enslaved by lies

Enslaved by fear.

The world it turns

The world it burns

The world can’t learn,

We don’t discern,

The wicked dreams

The wicked schemes,

Our own part,

Our depravity,

Our capacity,

For wrong and right,

For dark and light

For love or hate

For truth or lies.

There’s a demon to the left of me

An angel on my right

I’m stuck here in the middle

Between the darkness and the light

Where the edge of shadows,

Cuts sharper than a knife,

The world it turns

The world it burns

The world  won’t learn,

We don’t discern,

The wicked dreams

The wicked schemes,

Our own part,

Our depravity,

Our capacity,

For wrong and right,

For dark and light

For love or hate

For truth or lies.

These are the  ruins left,

Of the dreams we dreamed

Our hopes and schemes,

Our big charades.

This is the life we built,

In this world we made.

These are the ashes here

Of the fires we laid .
