Its all been taken,nothing for me to give
Will Jesus ever turn up to release&#8230;
As I shout,as I scream here for peace ?
No hint o&#8217; sound, no ray of light
Not a friend, not an enemy that I can fight
Its so null,so weird, so uninhabited

Will Jesus ever turn up to release&#8230;<br />

<p>No hint o&#8217; sound, no ray of light<br />
Not a friend, not an enemy that I can fight<br />
Its so null,so weird, so uninhabited<br />
Its almost as if time&#8217;s been terminated<br />
My heart is slowly dying out as it beats<br />
I feel dead from the inside, as the history repeats<br />
O&#8230;will my Jesus show up and release<br />
Me of myself,as I shout, as I scream for peace&#8230;</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[A stitch in time saves nine,
They say.
But, if the fabric is frayed
All your stitches will just give away.
So, why stitch at all
When all you&#8217;ll have
Is another tear you can&#8217;t stitch away?
Another hot tear to wipe away?]]></description>

As we watched the night sky,
And those shooting stars,
And made our wishes
Together,
I believed that
We&#8217;d walk into the sunset
Together:
Holding hands
Forever-
Never
That we&#8217;d end up
Playing Blind-Man&#8217;s-Buff
Among these dark, desolate tomb-stones
In this ghoulish, grieving graveyard.
The serenade of our hearts
Gently beating
Together,
The soft cooing of doves,
The cuckoo songs that soared
Along with our passion&#8217;s flight:

Longing for the days gone by<br />
