I look into the dark pool of suffering And I'm transfixed in its stare Like a moth lured into a universe screaming As death comes alive in its godless air Watched it steal succor from my sleep With dreams conceived in a poisoned womb Suffer me tears of anger to weep And eyes that feel like open wounds. They say home's a place that ends a journey Mine's just a picture gone up in flames Burning in homage to another mans memory A guiltless being who once held my name. And now you see me, cos you're me Today's victim of yesterdays 'war. I heeded not your cries for mercy Coz every gatekeeper of hell, is sometimes the door. Fed on fruit from the desert, a bush laden with hate Crazed by a sorrow that like poison cuts thru my veins. I swung my sword, I glimpsed his forked tongue too late There's blood in the apple & nothing to gain Except... Maybe... One more ripple in the circle of pain One more cripple in the circle of pain Again.
