I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
and my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
with the last of my might
In my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near....

I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depths of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life to see
Yet I knew there must be more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And I know where I stand
All of my childhood memories
Left lying in the sand
In my den of inequity                   Viciousness and delicacy
Struggled to find the sane
Struggled to ease the pain
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
Now I know that there is more
The warmth is gone
But the chill forever here

»A Change Of Seasons III
 Carpe Diem

'Carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'Seize the Day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'

"It's the most awful thing you'll
ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened."
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."

"Do you know what carpe diem is? Seize the day."
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall, ticking away
'Seize the day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way.
Look around, hear the sounds
Another time like this can't be found.
"Life's too short to dwell on our tragedies."
"What's the use of looking back?
What's the use of looking ahead?
Today's the fact."
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for a future
But there may not be one
The words stuck in my mind
The lesson once well learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I love you... Good-bye.'

Please don't go

I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall, ticking away
"Seize the day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way.
Look around, and hear the sound
Another time like this can't be found.
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
In my frail, virgin mind
Words have lost my way
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I love you... Good-bye.'

Please don't go

 

So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and the T.V. screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery

I'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on Boy, No time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me.
 

So far so few between
My eyes filled full
With desire fulfilled
All my dreams came true
All the world, and all of you
Everyday there's a constant reminder
Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever
I stood outside in the rain for us
I tried to work out all the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind is torn and gone insane for us
Innocent sinner
Repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Causing heartless divisions
Shattering all my visions of love
All the world, I give to you
All of the world,
All the world, I give to you
All of the world
Please don't go

Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
The love there will never come away
Deep in sorrow, wandering faraway
I stood outside in the rain for us
I tried to work out all of the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind has torn and gone insane for us
Innocent sinner
Repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Torn with heartless divisions
Watering all my visions of love
Of all the world, I give to you
All of the world,
All the world, I give to you
All of the world

 

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on.'
 

"Children of yesterday,
Heirs of tomorrow,
What are you weaving?
Labor and sorrow?
Look to your loom again,
Faster and faster
Fly the great shuttles
Prepared by the Master."
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories they taught me
For better for worse, alive or dead
Well I realize, there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the crimson sunset
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
Looking into the sun he said
'Don't go, don't go,
please don't go, don't go, now.
Don't go.'
"For the first time in a long time,
I feel at peace."
 

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories they taught me
For better or worse, alive or dead
I realize, there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Can't you see the crimson sunset
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
Looking into the sun he said
'Don't go, don't go,
please don't go, now.
Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.'
