In this age of lies
Love has become a sad compromise
The source of my emotional demise
All the lovers lies,
Let the shadows take me away
From the memories of those who wouldn’t stay,
Somewhere in the past when children played,
Here in a world of illusion where I sometimes pray.
Deep in fantasies of what used to be
Something inside cries out to be free,
There’s a message in all this by some hidden decree,
Don’t flaunt the present for the tears of a treachery,
The love of the past still haunting the dawn
No need to ponder the memories that live on
The phantoms of passion only dew on the lawn
These self-defeating dreams to which I’m drawn,
Show me a path that makes sense of all this
It seems these echoes have become wilderness
All for the need of her tenderness
The endless quest leaving me gaunt and speechless,
Blow out the candle now in the absence of light Listen to the night Now reach out and hold me tight It’s this loneliness that I need to fight, In this age of lies I still remember her cries Inside this labyrinth with rationale devised Is there a future? I can only surmise, There’s a lesson here while the wounds are still fresh Take your chances when deceived by the flesh The soul of the wicked you can never possess The truth of the ages you can never suppress , As passing ships sail away Is there a sanctuary where my heart can stay? All paths will lead to a power we must obey. |
