Questions unanswered

What is life and what is death?

Are we just pawns in someone's game of chess?

Is it all an illusion...a far forbidden dream?

Is God the maker of this complex scheme?

Am I his decoy through my suffering joy?

What a joy on this day of may!

A child so precious, bright and fair.

A welcomed boy, born on mother's day.

The smell of springing in the air.

Young boys grow fast, it's safe to share

Mother's love, daddy's care.

It's a brand new day

In a brand new world

But, before you learn life's golden rule

They kick you off to school...today.

It's an all new song

In an all new play

Come youth, come what may...

I was never made for school

Too independent.

But then I learned to bend the rules.

To rise above that noble deed

Of being a part of this game for losers

Game of fools

Money talks! And to justify

That deadly sin they call greed,

Your bonds & stocks we must multiply.

25% - Is my small fee

Come in and sign!

I've been waiting for so long for this moment

It's like a dream that's come alive.

I buy - I sell...I leave the clients

With just a fragment....

I'm on my way to better times.

Don't tempt me now!

There's an ocean that's peaceful and endless

Don't tempt me now

I've seen our future to be

Don't tempt me now!

Take my hand

Walk away from this madness

Don't tempt me now!

Your love is all I need

Wherever you are,

No matter near or far,

Whatever you say,

Your sins won't fade away

The road to hell is paved

With good intentions...

Do you know where you are?

Be sure not to hate

The beast you now create

Your kingdom today

May become your hideaway,

Where the saints and all

The demons you employ

Reveal your suffering joy.

In my dreams both sing to me

A choir of angels and the devil's kin

In confrontation...of good and evil

Where no-one can win.

My flesh is weak - is that a sin?

Let the battle begin!

Take a bite...just a little bite

And another bite...just a little bite

Wherever you are,

No matter near or far.

Whatever you say,

Your sins won't fade away.

The road to hell is paved

With good intentions...

Do you know where you are?

Be sure not to hate

The beast you now create.

Your kingdom today

May become your hideaway

Where the saints and all

The demons you employ

Reveal your suffering joy!

A brand new day - revisited

Scrutinize your mind boy

Tell me what you see.

I did it for too long

Look what became of me.

Ideas of right and wrong

All in a haze...

Till the answers made the questions

Fall into place

The fears and doubts in life

Create the demons we employ

It's a brand new day

In a brand new world

There's love

There's hate

There's no denying

We love this suffering joy!

It's an all new song

In an all new play

Wherever we are,

No matter near or far,

Whatever we say,

We may stand accused one day,

For our sins, greed and delusions.

And you know who you are!

Be sure not to hate

The beast you might create

Accept or debate

True forces of fate.

Life is not a one-way destination

It's filled...with suffering joy!
