"What Was It All For"
I have stormed the gates
And I have rushed the fields
But what was it for
I have turned water into blood
I have built houses from the sand
But what was it for
Please tell me, what was it for
After all of your cars and your radios
Your light bulb tans and me
Nothing will remain
I have seen the storm coming
You will not be prepared
They are coming
Surrender if you will
And die if you dare
Fever pitched shrill through the air
One more time in the dark
cover your eyes and stare
But don’t speak a whisper
Carry your heart heavy
See what and look down
Fiercely cutting up the room
For all triumph must bring failure
Every failure brings happiness and a smile
Watching you die makes me cry
So sweet and joyful a sight
Guilty of innocence
You will never survive
For it IS truly madness
That we are left to coincide
Free to walk like children
Play with the puzzle with ease
Then say your last prayer
And maybe God will save your soul
He’ll put it in a pickle jar
Up on his shelf
Left to rot in denial
Watch as the others roam free
On the weekends we trouble
We shall pop and then fade
The lights are dimmer
Can you hear them coming on the shore
I will tuck you in now my child
Now please tell me, what was it all for
