Falcon2001 Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 This is one of the few poems that I'm making up by singing it, so it makes sense and rhymes, but ONLY in my head. And the chorus is the first two stanzas, which both start with This is a Story. This is a story Of what I could be And all the things That I'll never ever ever be This is a story Of what I should be And all of the things That make what I am A man walks alone in the twilight Suffering there, shining in the light Alone again, he walks in shadow His reality always seems so much like a lie. So he stumbles down the hill Scrapes himself and tastes the blood again Now he's dying again all alone Not his first time for the loveless life he lost This is a story Of what I could be And all the things I'll never ever be This is a story Of what I should be And all of the things That make me what I am A warrior stands alone below the stars Wondering why he is at war His mind is a cloudy mystery To everyone, everyone but me For I have been there, and seen what lies there Past the curtain, into the fallen lands There is a promise, and a forgiving And all of the lies that you could ever carry on (chorus) All of the lies All of the promise You told to me All of the lies And all of the bullshit That carried me It's all gone... It's all gone, gone, gone... It's all gone... It's all gone... So lift me up, and save my ruined life Once more, my dear I'm always dead, except for the promise That I hold dear So see past the lies, see past the courage To the truth that lies beyond To see all the things that have shaped my wholeness You've got to look beyond To the skies...
