" A NIGHT IN LIFE " (song~ repost inspired by: Liian Varus)

Last night a girl died in my stairway
Life is pitiless when you run out of paths,
She lived day to day
But only by hope,
Her life was ended
By eyes,
That had none...

Last night I dreamt the city was gray
With gray faces and sagging muscles
That seemed to hold on to this life
Of the shattering skies in the brightness of
These blackened streets
Then, I fall to my knees and I cry
Yes, I fall to my knees and I cry...

I just can't take this anymore
I just can't take this no more
And I rush down to the bloodstained streets
I plug myself into the hydrant
And let that water wash over me
Let the water Baptize me....

Last night I rode the golden ray
I talked to the old gray faces
That tried to tell me
Tell me about this life
Of the warring tribes
In the blackness of
These dead end streets
I fall to my knees and I cry
Oh yes, I fall to my knees and I cry...

 

Then I scream..

I just can't take this anymore
I just can't take this no more
And I rush down to the bloodstained street
Plug myself into the hydrant
And let the water wash over me
Let the water baptize me...

Last night
A girl
Died
In my stairway....
