Nothing can save this world...

A moment of light flickers away,
the world is cast once again into shadow...

The roses round the tree,
the ones upon the hill,
they begin to wither and fade,
deprived of the light to bring them life.

Heartache deep within me,
I'm cut open and gutted all,
wide open for all to see.

It all seems like it was an eternity ago,
but yet it's all fresh in my mind,
almost like it just happened

The More I try to give seems to die instead,
I'd go with you all gladly if I knew where we're going.
My world seems to be out of control again and again,
only afew of you seem to understand.

Can't I just make up my own ending to this Story?
Why Can't this be a real life storybook?
With a happily-ever-after near in sight.

But now this Story continues on,
yet another wave of war-machines march forth,
headed twoard the castle,
once again hell-bent on misery,
hunting down a meat triangle,
the Dark Figure,
the Angel,
and the Priestess.

When you think the story is over,
the book is done,
you turn the page to find another,
another chapter to this misery-ridden neverending story
