1. Man on Fire
My life was once so simply hollow,
I killed with no regret, not even sorrow.
Though now I kill in your name,
Please come back to me or end this pain.
Be the faith I’ve lost before,
Please be there when I’m there no more.
I cannot fight alone again,
I need you now, I needed you then.
Shut out this pain I’ve never known,
I’ll avenge your death, with a heart of stone.
I finally knew love like never before,
Something well worth dying for.
When I read your diary I felt at home,
I even hear your voice when I’m alone.
The times we had - I let them end,
I know now, my old scars will never mend.
2. Beauty of Fatalities
To have the blast of rifles firing
so near to my ear
Yet it sounds calm and Serene
As if whispers to hear.
But to see burning bullets wisp by…
More like a conflict of art
Than the images of war.
In more ways than one, it stills my heart.
To see the short-lived, deadly eruptions
Of fire and debris
The intensity shakes the earth,
-Ever silent to me.
To witness the soothing waves of crimson
From the ocean behind,
The price we’ve paid, we pay it still,
Colors of blood, beautiful and kind.
All the soldiers charge forward
The hero’s lay still
Cowards cry over their fate
The brave fight it with an iron will.
