Body and souls

from Well of the Disquieted by Hands Of Despair

/

lyrics

In the tower chamber, on its musty floor,
through the dim-lit stained glass,
she shows her glow.
The only comfort to support the woe,
to abide the presence of many a sentience.
A crippled body, a vessel so frail,
a mind teeming with countless hails.
Warring, endless, struggle to fall,
to others madness,
a battlefield invisible to all.

They keep on calling, yet ‘tis not mine.
Familiar it sounds, although unknown.
It’s a name I’ve used, it’s a name I know,
It’s name I was given, as many more.

Body and Souls

I’m on my own...
No you’re not! No you’re not!
Leave me alone!
Let us see. Let us touch. Let us feel!
Begone from my thoughts, my dreams,
my head.
We will stand! We will stay,
much to your great dismay!
Is there no freedom but death?
Please let me be!
We want in! We want out!
My mind’s for me.
For us too. Not just you. Let us through!
I keep thinking that it’s not real,
so unreal.
It’s not fair! It’s MY turn!In despair our need burns!
Do they not care the way I feel?

“We were all born here.”
“I will take the reins, I will fly!”
“Let us be as you.”
“Don’t you wish you were free from this life?”
“We can reach understanding.”
These limbs carry me!

“We all need to learn to share.”
“Put your head through the noose, it is time.”
“Equals in this impass.”
“You can’t take MY body, it is MINE!”
“The spores of hate bud away...”
“Don’t you wish you were free from this life?”
Need to put an end to this!
“Kick the seat down NOW!”

Borne into this life stranded,
longing for the outside.
A yearning for the unknown.
Borne into this life caged in here,
longing for the outside.
A yearning for the unknown,
a yearning to take control...

In the tower chamber,
upon the flooring boards,
through the dim-lit stained glass,
a pool of crimson glows.
