Broken Spires

 

Feel the tremors in the ground?

Blinded by lights you aroused?

You’ve been left a burden

By the fool you were a moment ago

Wipe the tears from your face

Face the road you chose with grace

Find peace in Despair’s embrace

We have no more secrets to show

 

Can you see it on my face;

Pity for the end you face?

Can you feel it close behind;

The warmth of a fast burning light?

Do you fear serenity?

Or falling to obscenity?

If only our light were so bright,

You might be alive

 

But don’t leave us behind

Don’t leave us to wander blind

Stranded in a field of dust

We have so much further to go

Every single love I’ve known

Haunting me while I roam

Behind the ones I called my blood

Whom have found their road

 

Don’t leave me behind

Can’t you see I’ve been maligned?

Though I’ve done my time

I’m still yearning to hide

So tired of shining bright

With no one to share my light

As I yearn for my turn

I’m losing my mind

 

So wait while I hide alone

For a home we’ve never known

By the end of days, we’ll heal

For the lord of dusk, we’ll kneel

 

We’ve long been defined.
