"Useless Words"
Useless words from yesterdays hero
Time passed by leavin behind,
A broken man
Waterfalls pouring constantly,
Doubts assail him
What is life?
Where is the adventure?
Where is the Glory Lord
Where is the Love?
Hidden deep...
The meaning forever out of reach
Today is yesterday
Again...
Never the same, yet never different
Black where blue should be
Lost since yesterday...
When was yesterday?
Tides rush in
Draining life like sands on the beach
The retreat
I stand alone
Misty grey
Flying low a sparrow,
Alone yet free
Below I stand
Alone, imprissioned
Fear my keeper
Hoe the eternal traitor
A world passes
Life becomes death
Another life
A beating heart, a ticking clock
The same, always the same
Born to die,
Do we die then to be born?
Is life a circle?
Are dreams the universe
Or a reflection of desire?
What is earth, but the land beneath my feet?
I stand eternally alone
Tomorrow passes, yet never stops
Yesterday I dreamed,
Today a sparrow took it away,
Tomorrow I die
The earth takes away,
Look away to tomorrow
Catch the sparrow
Find today...Find a dream
Remember yesterdays, and stand
A useless life... a useless death
