Out Of The Theatre Act VII: The Storm

I've seen it all,

Been down the street.

The empty alleys,

Where the lonely bleed.

I paid the price

A price so dear,

For all my failures,

I've paid for years.

I've crossed the ocean

Of the broken hearted,

I met my luck

Just to be again parted.

Washed down the gutter

I found my new home.

On the edge of sanity

I lived on my own.

I've felt the loneliness of the night,

But I came back laughing at the light.

And I drowned in the sea

Of malice, of lies and of greed.

But I came back through the storm,

Stronger than life - I'm reborn!

I saw the mirror

I looked at me.

The shattered pieces

That were left to be.

For in the eyes of the others

They say lies true hell.

I found it to be true,

Learned to live with this spell.

I've left the theatre,

Burnt it down.

I've shut the door

Without a sound.

No more shadows

From the past I left behind.

Nothing stayed with me

But the scars in my mind.

I've lived the loneliness of the night,

But I came back cursing the light.

And I drowned in the sea

Of malice, of lies and of greed.

But I came back through the storm,

Stronger than life - I'm reborn!
