Alone I Stand In Fires |
In awkward times at awkward places … |
Rogues in glitter robes, with fierce grimaces |
Sneak around me glowering. |
I should be running away |
But I keep standing here in fires. |
Sinister choirs of whip-lashing demons |
With circling vultures in a dreadful allegiance. |
Singing out of tune in empty words and empty phrases |
Heard it all before from a familiar face. |
And every tone cuts deep like rain in April |
Every chord they form tears open the wounds |
But today will be my day |
When I stand up and be brave |
Today it is me and my ire |
Today I stand alone in fires. |
Was my heart one of a sparrow? |
Caged in the prospects of disbelievers' eyes |
Was I lurking in my own shadow? |
For a minute free of compromise? |
So many years have passed inside the mussel |
So many have defiled my realm |
So many foreign tongues and unknown words |
So many blather, and blather, and blather… |
Awoke. |
From sorrow’s sleep. |
And every tone cuts deep like rain in April |
And every chord they form tears open the wounds |
But today will be my day |
When I stand up and be brave |
Today it is me and my ire |
Today I stand alone in fires. |
