Echoes of summers past
Laughter with each step
Carefree times with those we love
Warm days and breezy nights
But as we take from nature's breast
And give back so little
Soon she decides it is time
And takes again what once was hers
The laughter dies
The carefree time has come and gone
She is not neat in what she takes
And we are loathe to give it

Free
I have been captured and tortured
unable to stretch my legs, to see ahead

In a small cell I have sat where time has all but stopped,
Imagining life outside the cell I can't,

For here I have been all my life,

It isn't man that has captured me
Not some army that has taken my freedom,

It is within the cell of myself that I sat.
Closed and small for many a year,

The cell opened, the chains on my mind torn away,

Today I am FREE, my mind wide open
Clean air I breathe, fresh sights I see

Finally FREE

This blown out shell I have become
Killing all I see
Explosives make my body numb
I see no children before my hate
Within this crowd are devils some
To Allah I go free
I blow your mind to kingdom come
who cares about this gate
My god decides your fate

You gesture to your signs
a language I don't understand
just paint arranged on boards
this shaken fence set to hold
trapped and kept in unwilled
This dust settles in all corners
a second skin grimy and rough
all the more to make me say

I want OUT

Broken barrier
Crazy words I cannot read
Wonder how it broke

Amnesia620 · 08-17-2005, 03:28 PM

In one land without the riches of some places,
languages only spoken in dark, secret spaces,
a lifetime of words float upon winds of sand,
decrepid buildings suffer, barely able to stand,
chapters of wars between men and giants,
lost in a thousand war screams of defiance,
silenced behind doors locked by Hell's own keys,
one gate left frozen in Time's forgotten breeze.

A bent metal gate...a bent metal gate...

Your dreams and your future
ride the steel breeze of fate

You ride it to embrace it
because you need to feel free

But know the last thing you saw
could always be the last you'll ever see.

A bent metal gate...
