Scales And Blindfold

Decreasing strength
Vitality fades
My youthful shine
Of past decades.

All is lost when hope is lost.

What I meant to gain
Disappointments became
Dreams of the future
Failures of the past
Wasted wealth
Naked prince
Faithful servant
To the unfaithful.

The gauntlet is their malice
Guilty of humbleness.

Once so strong
Proud and young
Pity me not
I will never live again.

Save yourselves from yourselves.

What I hoped to gain
Disappointments became
Dreams of the future
Failures of the past
Wasted wealth
Naked prince
Faithful servant
To the unfaithful.

The glass of time
Tastes like bitter wine
My food, my bread
Rotting with mould
Praise my name
When I am gone
To hide the kill
Our pain, your will.

Time is passing – eager towards infinity
Souls adjourned – they wait to be assembled anew
The end of this world is the birth of another
Children awakened – finally they are free.
