tonight there be demons

tireless and on edge
we have heroin veins
fallen off the thin ledge
full of hate and disdain
we bend truth to our will
let narcotics enslave
but it's all in good fun
from our hearts we deprave
the beautiful green sea
we light mountains afire
how we loathe what we lost
our own soul we bemire

we stand at the crossroads
and cry out for support
when nobody answers
we begin our extort
give me anger and fear
give me cups full of beer
give me lust give me rage
like animals encaged
give me fists give me blood
throw my dreams in the mud
for I'm tired of life
let me please end this strife

we don't know His mercy
or understand His gifts
our lives are so hollow
our perception adrift

there's a fight going on
outside every day
peacemaker or a pawn?
your own path or the way?
give me hope give me love
give me grace from above
give me calm give me light
give me strength in the night
in this valley I walk
full of uncertainty
lions stalking the lambs
surreptitiously
