So that is fine by me.

So that is fine by me.
Open your eyes
Look at the sky
In all its grandeur
Listen to the trees
Filter down promises
Before the breaking
Softly yielding flesh
There are no hard hearts
Every hero
Was a child
Weeping mothers
Wail for lost boys
And girls
There is no better
Reason to think twice
Than the sound of
Desperation
It is suffocating
The air searing
Parched lips
Burning spears
Tearing at the soul
Leaving scars
Branded into
The fulness of sorrow
As the sky glows
We stand before the furnace
It is hotter than
The very gates of hell
Do you hear the bell
It will stop
When the fire in you
Has burned down
The last embers
Have been extinguished
And the dirt
Beneath your feet
Has grown cold.
