I close my eyes, I clench my fists and wait.
Piercing light, unbarable sound, losing touch.
Death awaits, a heartbeat away, fate?
Fearing it, yet loving it, too much.

A hot wind, eternal blast, the end?
It had to be, our own fault, blame us.
Downfall forgotten, slipped away, can not mend.
Peace was lost, war soon followed, no trust.

Innocence dies, guilty follows, accused.
Millions and Millions, life to dust, our fate.
No escape, life forgotten, life abused.
I close my eyes, clench my fists, and....wait.

Revealing the concealed. Concealing the revealed.

Grey fills my mind, black fills the air
White sneaks away it can not bear.
A smile broken, a heart to mend
TWo worlds collided, two worlds to tend.

Unbarable life, living concealed
Repressible thoughts, the truth revealed.
Out in the light still lurking in shadow
Still hiding from all, from all to follow.

What can be done, will it turn out right
Is it I to blame, or is it all from fright.
Missing the window, still staring out
Fearing what may, whats come about.

A feeling forsaken, the memory lost
Trying to return, no matter the cost.
The past is the past, what's left but the future
The present just past what becomes the future.

Living life unto the fullest
A lie that's been lived for all the rest.
No more lies, no more concealing
Time to live, time for revealing.
