Saved

Amongst the stone and smoke
We never laid before
Images floating all about
Life in the afterglow
My decaying mind pretends
None of this ever happened
We either learn to live a lie
Or we’re waiting here to die
And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground
Illuminate and I will follow
Amongst the stone and smoke
Rising above it all
Broken but not beyond repair
Let’s see how this soul fares
And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground
Illuminate and I will follow you…
The Private does as
The General says
The General does as
The President says
The President does what
The First Lady says
So, So they say …
