Time

I"ve seen the moon rise and set
Felt the eternity of the night
Hiding from day's light

Days are weeks
Weeks are months
Time stands still

The past forever present
Like the walls of a prison
Cold, hard and unyielding

The future nonexistent
There is no present
There is only the past

Television my guardian
Bed my castle
Sleep ever elusive

Time is frozen
Emotions are numb
The cycle repeats
Time has come undone

I have

I have

I have seen a wise man
Be foolish
I have seen fool
Be wise

I have seen righteous man
Fall from grace
I have seen sinner
Become righteous

I have seen a child
Show a pure heart
I have seen an adult
Show contempt

I have seen evil rewarded
And good punished
I have seen dreams dashed
Only to see them live again

I have had much
And then had nothing
I have been wise
And a fool

You can

You can buy joy
You can buy pleasure
But you can't buy
Peace for your soul

Fall

Pride comes before a fall
Before pride, before the fall
There is ego raised
And lies believe
