With the sorrow
The death of tomorrow
There is no dream
There is no breath
We sing we dance
We turn a river to a stream
We bring the chance
Of heaven turning into hell
Built us a wall so tall
Then it crumbled and fell

And in my drunken state
I made you mistake
Made you just a memory
So listen to the melody
Of this sinful poetry

It'll take the sin
Have it reborn again
Take the pleasures
Into pain
Have the rain
Caught in a cage

We enslave the world
That gives us life
One day it'll cut the cord
Then begins the true strife

When I got home
You smiled, then cried
My soul was young
My words had lied
Now its gone
Forever and always
Was such a short time
Forever and always
Not this time

So I started on my dirt road
Lookin for my heart thats been stole
Can only hope that my silver tongue
Can pay the toll

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde

This has a deep sad and lost feeling
And to me reflects the strait of things today
with recession and everything
going up in price
thank you for giving us an alternative view
