Thumbs out on a desert road,<br>I am told, leads to nowhere.<br>Any shade is as good as the next,<br>If your shadow doesn`t go there.<br><br>Week seven: Did you really assume,<br>I`d find some solace from the letter in your room?<br>Next life, could you kindly refrain,<br>From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?<br><br>Silence all, nobody breathe,<br>How in the world could you just leave?<br>You promised you would,<br>Silence that evil with good.<br><br>Hear me out, I have the floor,<br>I`ll give you my tears, I`ll listen more.<br>You promised you would,<br>Overcome evil with good.<br><br>Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul,<br>Prone to get lost.<br>But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds,<br>To the cries of the storm-tosed.<br><br>Week nine: I am writing in the sand,<br>Any little clue that could help me understand,<br>Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh,<br>Every half-truth that was added to a lie/<br><br>Silence all, nobody move,<br>I`ve got to know now what you hoped to prove.<br>You promised you would,<br>Silence that evil with good.<br><br>Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release.<br>You took it to God,<br>You made your peace,<br>And swore that you would,<br>Overcome evil with good.<br><br>Every old demon playing back the crime,<br>If they needed blood, I`d have gladly given mine.<br>A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid.<br>Forgive her, please Father,<br>She don`t know what she did.<br><br>Silence all, now go to sleep,<br>The water`s free, the well is deep.<br>How can we return,<br>That which we never could earn?<br><br>God, I long to see her face,<br>We haven`t a hope beyond Your grace.<br>I know that You will, overcome evil,<br>For good.
