Tears Against the Window

Tears Against the Window

Tears against the window as the storm cries
The wind rages into the night
Love lost forever as breath fades and dies
Waiting for dawn to shed some light


Wasted time no amount of money buys
Howling frenzy sends chills tonight
Memories of a bright life, as time flies
The eyes though staring, lose the sight


Untangling the mixture of truth and lies
Why don’t they all, wish for what’s right?
The cruelty of time is of no surprise
Win the battle and lose the fight


Out of the forest, down under the skies
Down the mountain’s dizzying height
No one’s a failure as long as he tries
Human frailty and mankind’s plight


---
The light shines through
And dries all the tears
My heart beats true
And crushes the fears
