Dying In a Moment Of Splendor

Human Drama


I am a hero 
I am an actor 
I'm this violent shade of blue 
I am newly discovered tension 
Still confused by yesterday 

I am a hero 
On a mission 
Staking claims 
Yielding none 

I am an artist 
With a vision 
Seeing hell, his destiny 

I know the simple sting of a tear 
Sends the star crashing to earth 

Dying in a moment of splendor 
For a moment the glory and the death 
Are one the same 

I am an actor 
So unfeeling 
Then a flower 
I am crushed 

I am a villain 
Unstable and anguished 
Then an angel, you trust 

The heartless echo of memory 
Sends the actor whirling twirling 
Falling to his knees 

Dying in a moment of splendor 
For a moment the glory and the death 
Are one the same 
I am a bubble 
Almost to bursting 
Swollen by unrelinquishing pride 

I am the shrinking 
Remains of potential 
Never growing as I should
