Salvation's Answer

How many years ago, I dreamed of simple goals But life's so complicated now A child at heart, a man in soul I still dream the same dreams Not too long ago - you were young, pure as snow Untouched by life's pressures Not more lovely than full of life And of the hopes of the future How many people do you know Who've grown up overnight Thrust into competing for no prize No gold at the end of the rainbow Because anti-septic truths and unimportant views Have dimmed the true meaning of youth I wish I could save you from my fate And preserve your innocence forever Ignorance to knowledge Adolescent to mature Overnight Dreams to reality Youth to old age All too soon Why can't I save you from the pain of growing up, the pressures of your peers Why can't I help you fight the evils of the world the sins of casual pleasure

The time was right to rid the world Of the serpent's filth and decay Immaculate purity gave birth to a son To enlighten and pave the way You taught us by example how to be one with the soul To be humble and give with your heart, That your kingdom is our goal Your blood was on our hands But you returned to wash it away Forgiving all who deceived themselves In believing they'd turned you away You left us with your spirit to guide us thru troubled times But we have lost the light you've placed in us And replaced it with lust and crime Thank you for being there, for taking away my pain For accepting me the way I am, for teaching me For opening my eyes, for returning my love for you I need you more every day, to cope with the hate and fear I know you'll never leave me here alone

Decisions Are sometimes cruel When you want to be an individual And not another's tool Which way does the pendulum swing? Does it matter what the truth may bring? Subjective viewpoints examine thin air Objective reality only proves nothing is there Motives Are not well understood Should you believe in "right or wrong" Or in "evil and good" Can we win in a game That has no rules? Can we live in a world Of intelligent fools? Is gray just a color Such as black or white? Is deceit an entity Or just inner fright? Is there more than The human mind can conceive? Or is there an answer Beyond our beliefs? Uncertainty May well be the end Another facet overly simplified Brings paradox again...........

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

What's in the future? And what's it hold for me? Will things ever change? I think I know Lurking in the shadows Something hidden lies in wait It always seems to win A game I'm not allowed to play I can see clearly That no one will be there Least of all, you Won't be at my side How many times does right go wrong? And who's the one to blame? I pray to god the time will come When someone will ease the pain Is it just a premonition? Or is it just my fate? The long and lonely answer Gnaws at my heart forever It's the inevitable Images etched in stone A life of entropy A death alone

Frozen in a state of non-existence This moment of pain is an eternity A second stretched out into forever Shakes the very frame of my soul An eon of the present is the penance of hell Time slowly ticks away the centuries Another second passes, a foolish respite Because those to come are infinity Long after midnight, I build castles in the air I touch and I feel them in my heart Why can't they be real? Everyone watches, but no one is near All seem to listen, but few really hear The silence is deep, yet in an uproar And there's no escape, for they've locked the door Long after midnight, immortality seems so true I dream of a better time to come For me and also for you The battle is over but the war is not won The evil's chasing me and I cannot run All around me ideals are rotting away But I cannot ever give up the fight

A noble pursuit is the search for truth, But it brings little earthly gain And the hatred of those who don't dare to be different, Can freeze the heart with bitter pain A vile pursuit is the search for wealth, A status to debase your peers Green flames burn hot to warm egos, A rot that grows with the years A lonely pursuit is the search for love, Sincerity now so hard to find But to reap this reward should be our goal, Forever 'till the ends of time Some do believe greater wealth is in deeds, That further the mind, heart, and soul Yet most can't conceive the true value of self, Just a minuscule part of the whole To not blend in with the backdrop of sin, Brings on the hate of the masses so cruel Their mediocrity serves to forge the chains, That bind us drowning in this stagnant pool Though all of perdition hate the poet, And the majority omits the poor Neither can deny our salvation, Nor close the perennial door Society's outcasts are those with the truth Individuals in a world of 'the norm' Shamed into thinking we have no worth And useless since the day we were born They tell me I've accomplished naught And sometimes I believe it's true Yet all of my endeavors are justly spent, If with these words I reach you

Some have said they wished they were me But what could I ever offer You might say I just want attention Only I know it isn't true You ask why I'm so sad all the time It's because I walk the road alone The only one who waits for me Waits on the other side I can't change the way things are Don't you think that I have tried I can't pretend everything's all right That would only be living a lie How long must this go on? I'm just waiting for the end For the end of my death The truth is I'm not good enough For someone who deserves much better I hope that in god's eyes I can live up to my expectations
