Offering of Reason

[LIZ METAL]

Faultering minds begin an end
This glory tarnished from fading morals
A shadow that was once gold
Now an empty halo lacking meaning

Chaos plays out a disburbing deja vu
As the fields are set ablaze again
As the smoke swallows the sun once more
Graves of children overgrown with vines
Lives of children overgrown with fear

Poor, they rot and wither away
Guilded crosses send them to pray
People of a blinded God in rags and filth
Priests of the same in clean and shine
All that gold reflection stripped Him of His sight
Now the honest ones perish and drown

And then there's one teen, another adult
Fustrated girl, troubled boy
Faultering minds that fail to hear truth
The Voice of Help is but a whisper
The Voice of Death, a whirling monsoon
Individual wars fought hard and continuously
Nothing to gain they think, nothing to lose

There are always two sides to the coin
Both are there and real, making a whole
So what makes up truth and lie?
What makes up fact and myth?
Or are they each a side to the coin?
As light and dark make up a day
From dawn to dusk, then dusk to dawn
Suffocating mind, reason therefore commits suicide

Whoah, that's a good one. Are you in a band that can write songs around these lyrics?

 

[LIZ METAL]

Nah, I'm not in a band or ever was. I've been trying to get one together but there aren't any good available musicans. I'm trying to get my art work out there now. I'll get my ass into the metal scene one way or another

 

[a guy...]

Should I continue the poem praising or we can assume that any poem you put here will be fantastic?

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

If my band ever gets anywhere and you haven't established something by then, I'd be interested in using your lyrics (you'd get royalties, of course)...but then, that depends on my band getting anywhere; a long shot for many reasons.

You're so sweet

Keep me posted
