Deliverance


Pay the piper and
run far and fast with your soul
Hold onto your words
For the story's already been told

We were the promised ones
The legacy of shooting stars
We burned the brightest of all the sons
The city of angels, a trip to the moon, a stopover on Mars

We were the ancients
The ones long deceived
We were the kings and queens
Naive enough to believe

We are the brittle, the tired, the old
We are the outcasts, the murderers, the jokers, the stardust of eons past
We are the bones, broken and cold
We are the nameless, the faceless, the suckers who thought it would last

Pay the ferryman
Your time has come
The years were not your friends
Accept your coming undone

Pay the piper his token
hold tight to your keening soul
the words have already been spoken
so save your sad tales of old.

This one gives me a chill. It could be interpreted in so many ways. Today I think it applies to our whole Western society. Do you think any of us really realize what it will mean to "pay the piper" ? My guess is no, and that most of us will continue to sleepwalk into the future.

Hope you are well ~

love,
Sandy

i had to read and re-read this several times. sandy's right~~it could be interpreted in so many ways.

i guess it's human nature to ignore past mistakes and just keep motoring down the same old tired road. it's a vicious cycle, as the saying goes....

I love this one. It reads well, but for some reason I especially see this one being put really well to music. It would make an amazing song.

Very nice work.
