Denial's Glass

© 1999 Lost

Sipping from Denial’s glass

To him, his burden was dead

Never feared until it reared

It's head

Back turned to Father Time

With an eye on the second hand

As he caters to the Satyrs

In his head

His head

Riding in circles

On Lady Luck’s saddle

Forever reaching for the ring

Lost in the hall of mirrors

Grasping at the air

The Fates’ little plaything

He sees flowers in the wreckage

Of Mother Earth’s wrath

Unaware of the vacant stare

Of the dead

Bridges burn with the Trickster’s fire

Just one step ahead of the flames

Without amends he watches as friends

Join the ranks

Of the dead

Tries in vain to turn away

The Temptress at the door

A toss of the dice

Rattle of the bones

Once again, the House wins

In this game of vice
