Horse and the fly

I have walked these roads again and again

Longing for love and those I might call friend

But the paths set before me are not easy to endure

I’ve walked through brimstone and fire

And still travel burnt shores

Though I remain faithful, always searching for light

I’ll be damned before I give into the night

Even though the struggles are difficult

And only get harder by the day

I’d burn for all time before I’d give my soul away.

So here I stand overlooking a world full of death and decay

All beauty has faded, that’s why I see things this way.

And nothing will change my view because of what I’ve seen

Darkness engulfs us, with lies that seem ever so clean.

Yet I keep a spark of hope, because I’ll never give in

Yes, I’m far from pure, I’ll admit to each of my mortal sins

But I’ll never sell my soul; that which is I

And that’s the difference between

The horse and the fly
