I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise

Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow

I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow


Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me

Still I longed to search for more

But those days are gone now

Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze

The snow has now fallen
And my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on

With the last of my might

In my den of inequity

Viciousness and subtlety
Struggle to ease the pain
Struggle to find the same


Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear

All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near...
