Delusive Eyes

Way back when I could see

A burning brush inflamed a tree

But I’m running from the fire

Now the flame encircles me

This scene scathes into memory

Now it’s all coming back

Run, run away from delusive eyes

But I face now flame and cries

Run away from delusive eyes

Hide your face from fire’s lies

Run, run away from delusive eyes

But I face now flame and cries

Run away!

I’m trying to rise again!

Those around me, those before me

I cannot now trust anyone

My face now falls back to the mud

As far back as I can see

My broken legs buckle under me

But I’m running from the fire

Now the flames encircle me

I try, but fall again down to my knees

Now it’s all coming back

Run! Now I relive my horrid sorrow

Run! There will be no more tomorrow

Run, run away from delusive eyes

But I face now flame and cries

Run away!

I’m trying to rise again!
