LIghts

Back in Black
Blinded by the blizzard flowing within
With faltering steps I stand at the stairway of your ancient temple
With sacrilege in my eyes, desecration in my heart
On bended knees: I await deliverance.
Maggots of corruption devouring the corpse of our civilization
Souls for sale; freedom for auction
When goodness is unforgiven like parched earth
When the oasis escape route is but an illusion.
Now everything hurts
Like cactuses amidst a woeful desert
Waiting for a drop of rain
Midst a famine of pain.
But hope I have still
You can break me but can’t subdue my will,
They can sate me with sorrow,
But can’t stop me from dreaming about a joyous tomorrow.
