The View
I wondered how it would be
just for one second to be free
away from this demanding scream
but sadly all i could do was dream
When I slept the place came to me
and for that moment i was able to see
how love was like for the rest of you
my god, what a lovely view
It was like seeing angels fly
instead of hearing them when they die
for once there was only beautiful silence
away from this horrible place of endless violence
my mother and father must have known this place
they must have looked god straight in the face
for me i never knew
but i came close when i met you
i learned what music was like through you
i learned what peace was like and then I knew
that in you i had found my escape
from this world of soul-less rape
i cried for once without any sorrow
i thought there was hope for a new tomorrow
but that window closed my eyes once more
but i at least i knew what i had been fighting for
i may not be fighting for me
but at least for that moment i was allowed to see
what the rest of you can have when i am gone
like a wilted flower burned by an angry dawn
that day can not come too soon
i'm afraid i can't fight under this moon
this heavy lifeless moon of doom
so full and cold as my tomb
but i can look past these bricked up wall
because i know now why angels fall
they fall for girls like you
who showed them heaven's view
