Love is a Lie

Turn toward the gallows
Now say a prayer
Weep as you wallow
In sheer despair
This life is shallow
The well is dry
This heart is hollow
Love is a lie
You chose to follow
Snakes to their snares
And fell to sorrow
What do I care?
This time is borrowed
Word from the wise.
We live tomorrow
Simply to die

eternal dawn

These nights are longer than the days
I long for summer's loving gaze
Her shoulders supporting my arm's embrace...
Lest my heart begin to race
And I forget the words to say
I know in my heart it'll be okay.
For the sunset' blaze,
And its majestic rays
Depict the splendor in every way...
