How

How do you look into yourself
to make the agony subside
how do you express the truth
when one thousand times you've lied.

How do you lead yourself
through the empty tears
and what is left to forget
when you have so many fears.

what do you find
when the treasure is lost
and you suffer in the light of day
you'll die at utmost costs.

And the angels are screaming lively
and all warriors have died
nothing to shield you from your sorrow, nobody to catch the wisdom you cried.
