Keep on walking!

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou unlucky one,

open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou unlucky one,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou unlucky one,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart

and let it burn alone.

Today, the war is done,

and today you have won.

Ill carry my shame tonight,

with lullabies of the fading light.

But tomorrow I will wake,

and a solemn oath i will take.

Tomorrow, another war there will be,

with all I have there I will be.

I will walk every turn,

Through the rain I will burn. 

All I do is wait...

I look up at the stars above,
and wonder what is this love,
You have no name, just an empty embrace,
so I keep running my race,
All I do is wait.


      I watch the clouds pass above,
      I know now what is love,
      that warmth of your embrace,
      but I still keep running my race,
      All I do is wait.   


I look at the moon in the dark night sky above,
I ache for the one I love,
for that mark I can hold in my embrace,
and yet I keep running my race,
All I do is wait.


      I look at the vast empty sky above,
      and I wonder my love,
      why I long for that tomorrow with your embrace,
      but today, I keep running my race,
      And all I do is wait?

Know!

Faith knows not, of a wall,

stand for, stand tall.

Thirst knows not, of a quench,

dig deeper your trench.

Desire knows not, of a deny,

reach out for that sky.

Vision knows not, of an end,

look past the bend.

Dream knows not, of a boundary,

fly high and fly free.

The world knows not, of you,

shine through your colors true.

Another tear for you!

I lie here wrapped in his arms,

wishing they were yours instead,

for you are my true prince of charms,

dreaming of you I lay down my head,

I wake another day to the pain,

of knowing we will never be,

incomplete I shall forever remain,

for you never did belong to me,

and I wonder as I watch the dark sky,

if the tides of change have passed through you,

my unending love you will now deny,

and all I can do is shed another tear for you!

Here I lie with an empty embrace,

caught at a crossroad,

a future holding her hand in mine I face,

a past with her that I just cannot watch erode,

I want to spend my life watching you smile,

and I would turn the world for you,

how do I tell you it will take a while,

before the day dawns that's just for me and you?

How do I to make you see,

That my love is undying and true,

though your hand in mine may never be,

and all I can do is shed another tear for you!

I lie here yearning for your arms wrapped around me,

wondering what it is that I should feel,

as once again sleep evades me,

the dawning skies watch my eyes as they appeal,

Anger, pain, fear and guilt come and go,

like they own me now,

And I try and look deep in my heart where I know,

you've taken over all of it somehow,

I know you cannot let go of the hand that cared,

And I know I want no life without you,

So I sit here helpless and scared,

and all I can do is shed another tear for you!

Empty within!

I walk on through the night and through the day,

I move on, paying no heed to any say,

I look up at the rain of tears as they fall,

but I keep at it, I scale up the wall,

As I watch the world pass on by,

I see not the evil, not the dark, nor the lie,

Only the light, the beauty and the bliss I choose to see,

and I smile, for that is all there is to me,

I spread my joy and love to all around,

as pain and despair push them to the ground,

As I pass the rainbow and reach the other side,

I look, but find no pot with gold inside,

Dark clouds gather and win their war,

waves of agony lash at me with no bar,

There are no happy endings I now know,

There was never any bliss that looked to grow,

I let the light inside me fade and die,

With nothing more to give, look here I lie.
