LOST BATTLES

The smell of smoke,

The taste of pain,

The heart of a vampire,

Waiting for that last stroke.

No matter how far,

No matter how high,

The zest of lost battles,

Meet you where you are.

At the heights of Kilimanjaro,

At the Gates of Eldorado,

Just when you are wearing that golden crown,

You know deep down.

In the arms of fright,

Crying out for redemption,

All those promises,

Never again, I have seen at last.

But you know deep down.

They will all meet you where you are.

( For Yusuf)

I WILL LAUGH AGAIN

There is no pride in me babe

Cause I’ve been to all depths

Seen that, it is all a joke.

I’ll laugh again in the morning

There is no hate in me babe.

Cause I’ve been to all depths.

Seen all the violence there is.

It is fear after all.

There is no anger in me babe.

Cause I’ve been to all depths

Seen all the pain there is.

Mercy is the disease.

There is no love in me babe

Cause I’ve been to all depths.

Seen the fabric everything's made of.

It is love after all.

I am all empty now.

So come and fill me  while you can.

Cause in the morning

I’ll laugh again.

IT IS ALL RIGHT

It is all right, it is so right

It may sound or look

Too much, too soon

Too little, too late.

Always has been that way

It is all right.

If you don’t wanna settle,

It is understandable.
Everything's so simple. 

Too much, too soon

Too little, too late.

It is all right.

Aim for the stars,

That is what everyone says.

Greed has always been the disease,

Yet everyone is pretending at ease.

Times are rough, times are fast,

Peace is so hard to seize.

It is all right.
