Emerging Through Darkness
by alexrambler
Trying to avoid evil and follow the light
But these ghosts in my mind make it hard to see
Feeling so alone, so many friends lost in the night
And the love I once cherished has gone away from me
Please don’t approach me with yesterday’s task
I can’t take no more on this woeful day
I can’t carry more despite what the Pharaoh asks
Not with the northern wind coming over the bay
None of my foolish imaginary promises came to fruition
And I never really saw past your assortment of masks
Now I’m living in limbo with a sense of damnation
Lone wolf a-hunting without his wolfpack
I just need a break to figure things out
Don’t have to go to Spain, just gotta get away
Where the birds chirp happier than here about
Sip on some smoking hot coffee at a vibrant café
Wishing that there would be one more chance
To turn things around and mend the past
But the truth is there’s no more romance
The feelings once there went away too fast
As I sit here contemplating this ordeal
My feet hurt like they’ve walked a million miles
I never would have guessed I’d lose my appeal
But I’m somehow depraved of all sense and style
Wishing for the impossible since I was a kid
Never did wonders in dealing with the harsh truth
Life is a game of passion and play for those who have lived
For the rest of us, there’s always the Vermouth
When you hear of this destiny, do not be frightened
These things needed to happen, still they’re not the end
For still a man can rise up and become enlightened
This is merely the beginning of a new path my friend
