Live On – Awake Till Death

 

Aye Aye Aye

 

Aye Aye

 

So what are you dreaming,

What visions are keeping you entertained night, and day??

Loved ones, hated ones - winning ones - losing ones.

 

What’s on your mind?

That’s what ‘they’ want to know!

That’s the secret see, keeping it to yourself,

Keeping it all to yourself,

Your dreams, your fantasy’s, no matter how big small, bold or insignificant,

That’s what they want to know.

 

Are you well?

Can we tell you something new about yourself and your origins?

New because, it has been well forgotten, swept deep down in chasms now opening again.

You’re in hell! We all are,

We’re all fearing the worst while actually living it, experiencing it for the gain of heartless architects. Heartless Gods that chase souls away with glee, and,

Is yours still there, do you have it, is it still intact while you tend the home you no longer own?

 

I wonder, I wonder as, some gave service, some gave more, their life, their wives in tears while children dream the nightmares of their forgotten fathers and, are you still dreaming?

Are you comfortable in your bed while the veteran sleeps in sorrow, in fear, in pain?

I hope that you are, as the sacrifice has to mean something, if not for the dead,

Then those that live on,

Live on,

Live on!
