What time is this, when eagles fall?
What day be it that angels tremble?
Why must my frail heart mourn,
this tragedy of life seems a useless ensemble!Oh Lord!
Hear my piteous call,
for I feel as though I'm sinking,
fading as mist on the shore.Lift me up high in your loving arms,
let the wind kiss away my shallow oxide-tears.
Sever all the chains that have me charmed.
Lord fight away all of my fears.My strength is naught but an autumn leaf,
fading into the remains of yesterday.
Joy is a distant concept, a child's insipid dream,
crushed by the feet of these beasts of clay.If I were but an eagle I would blaze,
through the pains of yesterday,
and laugh at all those dusty fools,
who had my soul tight under their flimsy rules.02-09-2015
