Verse #374

And so the countdown has begun,
the date now set and drawing near,
we panic at what must be done,
although our plans are crystal clear.

Verse #373

True friendship looks beyond the skin,
beneath each deep and painful scar,
forgiving you each fault or sin,
just loving you for who you are.

Verse #372

If you could see the future staring at you from afar,
or chronicle the wonders of each distant twinkling star,
how would you walk amongst all the lost sheep of the flock,
how could you ever teach them the true nature of this rock.

Verse #371

I'm blinded by the love you share,
and humbled by how much you care,
your gift is far beyond compare,
you'll always make me stop and stare.

Verse #370

Be my new horizon- be the sunrise of my day,
be who I rely on- be the truth in all I say,
be my one beloved- be here with me from the start,
be all that I wish for- be the one who shares my heart.

Verse #369

So this is how it all begins,
our final days upon this rock,
a species blinded by our sins,
oblivious to nature's clock.

Verse #368

Falling in and out of love,
a puzzle to both friend and kin,
changing like the skies above,
a stranger in a borrowed skin.

Verse #367

Search each trail along your way,
climb each mountain in your sight,
find the skies where dragons play,
brace yourself for one last fight.

Verse #366

Separate me from my hate,
let my fear of hurt sedate,
guide me to the stars above,
teach my heart once more to love.

Verse #365

Chaos walks the earth tonight,
gangs of monsters cloaked in fright,
and so we hide and dim each light,
and pray we miss their horrid plight.

Verse #364

From one shadow to another,
in the darkness of the night,
to the embrace of a lover,
in a world long lost from sight.

Darklove

I feel the shadows close to me,
Their cold embrace so dear to me,
This love they hold for only me,
A feeling I thought lost to me.

I hear the shadows calling me,
Their secrets only shown to me,
This portal crafted just for me,
A mirror to a different me.

I let the shadows follow me,
The darkness now consuming me,
As pain and hurt abandon me,
A shadow stands where once was me.

Verse #363

Sail away with me tonight,
across the seas and out of sight,
far from all the hurt and pain,
to where true love can live again.

Verse #362

Watch the setting sun with me,
let the darkness set you free,
hunt with me throughout the night,
stay with me til dawn's first light.

Verse #361

The green and blue of field and sky,
the countryside that rushes by,
the twists and turns of every bend,
on tracks that seem to have no end.

Verse #360

Take me far away from here,
from all that I have come to fear,
to where we have no need to roam,
where hope and love can be our home.

Verse #359

Live your life with no regret,
walk the path your heart has set,
find your place and make a stand,
help us all to understand.

Verse #358

Setting out before the dawn,
before the shades of light are drawn,
I wander far across this land,
my footprints marked deep in the sand.

Verse #357

Leave me be but not too long,
help me learn my right from wrong,
teach my heart a different song,
keep this love forever strong.

Verse #356

Shine your light upon my soul,
place my life in your control,
teach me how my heart can soar,
stay with me forever more.

Verse #355

Feel the awe-inspiring power,
of that dark and final hour,
when your heart and soul will cower,
at the Reaper's twisted glower.

Verse #354

Release me from the prison of the thoughts within my mind,
the demons I have summoned that have kept my soul confined,
the shadows of the past that have left my torn heart blind,
this world I have created where my pain can be resigned.

Verse #353

A prisoner in your fight for greed,
refused the right to even feed,
left here in chains each night to bleed,
kept out of sight and never freed.

Verse #352

Leave your past life far behind,
clear the shadows from your mind,
no time to pause or to rewind,
a new world waits for you to find.
