Lifeline

A fire burns 
In your eye 
You gasp, you suck 
The line of life 

Relentless 
Relentless confusion 
Day 
Day after day 

In the shadow 
An angel cries 
Hearts and minds 
Torn by lies 
Tormented conscience 
Buried by weight 
Innocence confused 
By hate 

Walking 
Walking in silence 

A ceremony 
Of false ideals 
The anguish and deceit 

Hard reality 
Begins to set in 
A hostile state 

"..inflicted heavy losses" 
"There were no survivors" 

A steadfast dream 
Creates blindness 
The wound inside 
Runs deep 

"There were no survivors"
