The Fading Light
Eyes close slowly, the light fades away
At peace but for the rest, all remains the same
A passion put forth for all to see
Gone like a whisper among the trees
Mind frail, hands bloodied to the bone
All to build another mans throne
No time to savor a moment of happiness
Wonder aimlessly through the tarnished miles of distress
All that is earned, worked for, bled for, gets left behind
To the vultures of greed, all just waiting in line
A regret of not taking a moment in time
To appreciate the bliss of peace of mind
In the blink of an eye it's all over
A lost battle to a meaningless endeavor
No time taken to enjoy a laugh
Driven by desires thought not to have
To strive, to build, to conquer, all meaningless in the end
Lost along the way, all those fences left to mend
For days are numbered, time is fleeting
All mistakes seem to keep repeating
Love, money, fame, whatever your desired lust
In the end, all ashes and dust
The pain and strife all seem endless
Ending it all with actions so reckless
