pain of salvation - winning a war

part first: awakening

daybreak:

a septemeber sun emerges through clouds

chasing across teh sky

thoughts are evoked behind detached eyes

but people are just passing by

with smiles for protection

unable to see behind the creature

that he seems to be

once he was a child with burning desires,

with hopes and dreams of what was to come

so he's lost some faith but still there are fires

deep inside that he must drench to numb

if we could try

to share some of his wounds just for a while

but we're all just peaople passing by!

midday:

he's searching through crowds

for one that is gone

rejecting the facts

one more day

talking too loud to silence the glow

coldness becoming his way

empathy can't reach through all that blame

smiles are forgotten, locked in their frames

now he's counting time

in beggings and bottles,

fading away beneath old news

so he lost a war:

"will i be dead very long?"

...he can still hear his vioce

through the coldness

if we could try

to ease some of his pain just for a while

but we're all just peopla passing by!

part second: memorials

part last: nightfall

once he was strong and filled with visions

with life ahead he set his aims

then things went wrong...

now his ambitions have turned to smiles

conserved in frames

still could be strong

could be a prophet!

he would teach truth to every man!

he'd see the light trough every shadow

but entropia denies he can!

he's sitting numb while dusk is falling

alone he whispers his "goodnight"

turning away, when sleep is calling,

from all the people...

...passing by...
