SOULS OF STONE

Sounds in the night
Create visions
Of what you don't see
Glow; fading light
Make decisions
Losing who you can't be

If you let go of what you've forgotten
And know all the horrors you've misbegotten

Cries in the dark
Over shoulders
And can't look away
And hide the marks
Heart molders
And destroy; and decay

And sharpen the blades on our hardened souls
And go through life just playing our roles

Eyes in the shadows
Watching me
And turn away from this
And string up the gallows
In mystery
And shoot the marks and miss

And use the blades on our souls of stone
And cut away everything left alone
