Light Falls
If a Soul You Ever Had
If a Soul You Ever Had
You watch the tragedy unfold
But refuse to intervene
Though it’s well within your power,
Then mock the man
Who takes the reins
At the most critical hour.
Who’s the fool?
Who’s the tool?
Who’s the real coward?
Who’s the zero?
Who’s the hero
When all the ground is soured?
One more stupid game.
One more stupid prize.
One more forgotten name.
One more pack of lies.
One more silly fad
That no one ever buys;
If a soul you ever had
You’d know there’s no demise.

Light Falls
Light falls
On dispersing dark
Where wind blows
And water ripples.
The so(u)l calls
For just one spark;
Where divinity sows,
The harvest triples.

Solar seed,
Hidden well.
Ancient creed,
Secret spell.
<*>
Who was there
Till the bitter end?
< * >
Your greatest enemy
Happened to be
Your only friend.
