Internal Void

Chapter 9

Internal Void


Forty years of sorrow felt 
And the last one kind of numb 
Watching corruption like a disease 
Until the working day is done 
Happiness lies in alcohol for this 
Lonely abuse man he said 
The law was the last thing I had to believe 
So you can blacklist me again 

Completely confident completely insane 
Complete dedication and completely insane 

Born a son of the military 
Tried to make his father proud 
His childhood spent in submission 
Til the anger made him scream aloud 
This boy never could quite measure up 
In education for his old man 
And the price that he paid was a piece of his soul 
Another thing he couldn't understand 

So this internal shadow he carries 
Grows with each passing year 
And losing his wife to his only friend 
Left his spirit swimming in his tears 
He became a man of the law so 
He could salvage just a little pride 
But the evil he saw he took his badge and his gun 
On a one way lethal ride 

Was he wrong? Now he's gone 
Six others and then himself 
And the dark road he was on 
Was a painful endless cry for help 
We must realize deep in our eyes 
Lies the window to our soul 
We can help those who have capsized 
Before the evil it takes control
