If sombody out there
Really cared
I wouldn't be inside this torment
Wearing nothing but a noose
Standing up here
On this wet chair
Waiting for someone
To come and cut me loose
But I guess I'm dreaming again
Thought I had a friend, But
The end is drawing nearer
And I can see it oh so clearly
There's nothing left to fear
And nothing left to see
But the red sky above us
And the burning hell beneath
Noone left to trust
So pick up your scorching feet
And run with me
The rope around my neck
Is really digging in
I struggle to get free
But I'm just burning skin
I take a look around me
I see the Devil grin
Will I ever be free
I guess hoping's just a sin, Because
The end is drawing nearer
And I can see it oh so clearly
There's nothing left to fear
And nothing left to see
But the red sky above us
And the burning hell beneath
Noone left to trust
So pick up your scorching feet
And run with me
(Oh) If we put our heads togethger
Things will turn out better
You and I will make it through
(Don't you know) There's nothin' left to do but run
Won't stop 'till we touch the sun
Oh my dear there's nothin' left to do

This might be my favorite of all my lyrics.

If I'm not mistaken, when you say "Won't stop 'till we touch the sun"... my guess is that you're referring to Jesus? I hope this is the case, but very nice lyrics none the less.

Hmm...I suppose when interpreting the lyrics, they take a different form for each person. Personally, I lean towards an agnostic view of Christianity. I differ in that while I do believe in God, I do not believe He is as benevolent as we are taught as children. Most of how I feel on the "religion" subject is explained in Burning House.

This is one my favorites too. I really like just about everything you've ever posted, but this has an extra-nice flow. And I'm always one for simplicity in words, and this one takes the cake
.... but hey don't mention this to Shadow coz she might get a little ticked about me saying that
Great job man, really smooth and just a pleasure to read!There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.
