Sometimes

 

sometimes we love, sometimes we don't

sometimes there's a clock, we don't look

it has rules, sometimes we accept

somtimes not

sometimes we just don't want to know

when controll knocks at your door

when your freedom hangs in the balance

without a word

when life holds you ransom, a new spirit arrives

with the word go

and ev'rybody has an agenda filled with reasons

yet a freedom must not result in a destruction

some think its the only way, they're not the ones

worried about a freedom where rules pave the way

though we're with our backs against the wall

we remain civil and abide the law

sometimes we love, sometimes we don't

sometimes we believe and sometimes we won't

A lonely door

when death becomes
a lonely door closin'
its always best to keep in mind
closing it should only be left
up to time to decide for
so live your life live it well
and when it does close
there's this whole new place to dwell
but you will know you should be proud
'cause you've done well

Empty

empty is how I feel
empty where it hurts
can feel the pain
when I see her again
going through that door
just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before
my armour is showing fatigue
my strenght is getting weak
a battle has not yet been won

I must hold on as long as I can
take it for another run
and I'm feeling empty
tired of playing that same old game
over and over again
but I must go on
see the setting of yet another sun
it will be many days and nights
'till again she will arive

and she knows I'll be waiting
like all those years before
she'll stay, laugh and play
'till emptiness hits back
when she has left
with it dies my laugh
I just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before
how long must this go on
'till I can settle the score

an' sometimes evil will come to your 'Door'
sometimes it will stop, sometimes it comes in
an' if you're strong enough, sometimes you win

'Evil' will drop, come to its knee an' leave

sometimes, loneliness embarks onto its road
of freedom, sometimes it makes one weep for
a soul lost in its peace

The Score

empty, is how I feel
empty, where it hurts
can feel the pain
when I see her again
comin' through that door

I just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before my
armour is showin' its fatigue
my strenght is gettin' weak

a battle has not yet been won
I must hold on as long as I can
take it for another run  and
I'm feelin' empty

tired of playin' that same
ol' game over an' over again
but I must go on see the settin'
of yet another sun

it will be many days an' nights
'till again she will arrive
an' she knows I'll be waitin'

like all those years before
she'll stay, laugh an' play
'till emptiness hits back
when she has left

with it dies my laugh
I just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before
how long must this go on
'till I can settle the score
