Don't Forget

There is no pleasure for the penitent

No savior for the just

A battered bag of bones

Lies beaten, bleeding and bruised

In shouting at the wicked

We oftimes forget the compassionate

Cooler heads cannot prevail

When ardent passion rules

Dagger's Edge

Dagger’s Edge

Sometimes my feet get bloody

My balance is not quite level

But the ground below is muddy

I’d end up completely disheveled

It’s harder then walking on eggshells

At least, on that you know the score

For eggshells crush rather easy

They are simply the spoils of war

But balancing on the dagger’s edge

Playing both sides at once

You never know which bet to hedge

Relying on luck and impudence

There’s always a side to favor

Someone who wants to win

Never taking time to savor

Only looking for the next sin

The only winners are failures

The only triumph is loss

Truth is no longer my savior

To bear this is my cross
