Verse #771

These long abandoned memories weigh heavy on the heart,
obsessed with ancient mysteries and shadows of the past,
through complicated histories that rip our thoughts apart,
lost in forgotten fantasies we knew could never last.

Verse #770

Dwell not on who you are right now nor who you used to be,
think only on the path ahead and what you'd like to see,
remember all the good and learn to let go of the past,
if you can manage all of this you will be free at last.

Verse #769

These words we share with ones we love,
these prayers we make to gods above,
these tears we shed for those in need,
these wars we wage for others' greed.

Verse #768

Take heart against the darkness and the fear that dwells within,
be strong through all adversity and let the war begin,
fight on for all eternity no matter what the cost,
stand tall against the enemy and claim back all you've lost.

Close your eyes to all you've been- forget all that you know,  
Free your mind from darkness and let hope begin to grow.
Place your hand within mine- let our energies combine,  
Feel the world retreating and the pain within resign.
Follow me through shadows- find the light that we all seek,  
Keep me in your thoughts and hear the soothing words I speak.    
Wake up to the morning- greet the dawn of this new day,  
See the world in colour not that sad and lonely gray.
Breathe in the scent of freedom- clear the worry from your mind,  
Walk tall amongst your kinsfolk and enjoy the peace you find.
Share your life with others- help them conquer all their fear,  
Protect all those around you and forever hold love near.
Live each day within the light- don't let the darkness in,  
Lead by your example and absolve yourself from sin.
Change the world around you- only you can claim this power,  
Rest when all the work is done and dwell not on the hour.
Take comfort when the end is near- you will not be alone,  
Remember I am with you and have shared in all you've known.

Verse #763

Wake to greet the dawning of another sacred day,
look toward the sun and wash the haze of sleep away,
hold tight to all your dreams to keep the pain and doubt at bay,
remember that life is a gift to use in your own way.

Verse #762

<blockquote><p><strong><em>To find a new beginning we must first find an end, </em></strong><strong><em>our wounds have to be closed and dressed before they’ll ever mend, </em></strong><strong><em>the book must first be finished before the sequel read, </em></strong><strong><em>so take the time to turn each page and heal yourself instead.</em></strong></p></blockquote>

Verse #758

<blockquote><p><strong><em>And so I lie here once again- a dreamer without sleep, </em></strong><strong><em>to stare into the void beyond the stars in darkness deep, </em></strong><strong><em>the clock ticks down each second in a march that will not stay, </em></strong><strong><em>to bring my gaze in time towards the light of this new day.</em></strong></p>

And so I lie here once again- a dreamer without sleep,
to stare into the void beyond the stars in darkness deep,
the clock ticks down each second in a march that will not stay,
to bring my gaze in time towards the light of this new day.
