Guarding the sullen fortress of hope
you stand a soldiers stance...

Surrender yourself to the night
you are no more...

Swirling around in the darkness
hoping to find something to set me free...

Red fluorescent smiles cloud my mind
and dull blue memories clear them away...

Have you ever had that feeling
when the whole world slips away...

Beads scattered
under a ballerina's...

THe conqueror worm and the sleeper too
all are evidence to our fallen lives...

Darkness
a cold funeral shroud...

Why do you cry so sad and lonely
you wish you could be his one and only...

All is lost of the infantry
and no part of my love...

Lay with me beside the fire
tuck my hair behind my ears...

The leopard stalks along the track
Searching for a meal...
