Pandora's Peace

 

Pandora’s peace

The crumbling of this nations dreams

The fall in faith; the children’s screams

The dwindling of a long lost soul

I dwell in this; a social limbo.

A crass and malignant world surrounds me;

This world with all its hate;

Holds the key to my uttermost fate.

There’s no escaping the inevitable;

This world alone has dug its own hole.

Both friend and foe hold each others death.

All hold life oh so near;

But none take heed to my fear.

As the leaves fall off the trees,

my soul falls victim to a gentle breeze.

For peace I rest here,

For only here I can escape my fear.

 

Thor’s Hammer

Crashing through my reality

with a mighty blow

comes this mental illness tormenting me

that the world will never know.

Like a hammer into an anvil

this depression crashes into my soul

the chaotic splitting of a nail

is mania’s sporadic role.

Psychosis enters into my world

and sends sanity all unfurled.

an endless madness

a nameless sadness…

Oh mighty Thor, I leave the shore

I do not recognize myself anymore.

 

　

　

 

In the shadows

Oh in the powerful jaws of the night

The priest took his bloody sacrifice

In his hand the blade reflected some light

But ne’er enough to ever suffice.

I felt their pain, I heard their stories deranged

I laughed with tears in my eyes--so grey

So strange how everything has changed

Now my life has slowly faded away.

I struggled and I fought, for goodness meant more

No reinforcement but still I believed--

This day is darker then ever before

I think to myself have I been deceived?

I tried so hard, but still I fell--despair;

Lost faith, I cry, there’s no one left to care.
