You eat and breathe such hatred
That I can only ask
Where have you put forgiveness?
That thing from which you fast
No creature in the cosmos
Deserves to live in fear
But that is what you peddle
So let’s make that quite clear
You justify your cruelty
By saying it’s defence
But you create a sorrow
Because you won’t relent
Now god has given freedom
In everything we do
And we must own our actions
That means both me and you
For life can be so fleeting
And the earth we cannot own
So at least while we are living
Let’s make it a happy home
LONG SHADOWS
LONG SHADOWS ARE CAST
IN RESPECT OF THE SKY
MARKING THE PLACES
WHERE LIVING THINGS LIE
EACH OUTLINE SUGGESTS
THERE’S STILL ROOM TO GROW
WHILE CASTING THEIR VISION
ABOVE AND BELOW
BUT SHADOWS LIE WAITING
TO BE CARRIED BY LIGHT
FOR THEY ALL ARE HIDDEN
IN THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT
ITS THEN YOU WONT SEE THEM
FOR THEY’RE NOT SO CLEAR
BUT TAKE IT FROM ME
THEY’LL ALWAYS BE HERE
THEIR SHAPES MAYBE DIFFERENT
AND CHANGING WITH TIME
BUT SHADOWS REFLECT
A WORLD THAT IS MINE
