Shadows Light Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 What's it mean to live again? Exchanging one cell for another? The air is different in the end The chain strains a little farther Days, weeks, months pass Still you can't get to it Nothing happens fast Unless you just do it Hiding in foxholes Missing the fight Closing off all doors Shutting out the light Sometimes a body needs rest The soul time to regroup But then you get to the test You start to recoup Magic, potions, elixir A secret I will tell Are not the ultimate fixer You fight a private heII There are no shining knights Who will magically appeer Stop all the fights The problems disappear It comes form deep inside A place we call our soul Where courage resides Fills the empty hole The mind is filled with ravage This has to mend Someone else did savage Pain that has no end No one can fix it for you The fight is all your own Not even the one that bore you It cuts to the bone I trust no angelic divinity Who promises joy and peace The fates know only longevity You own your own release Each man is on his own His own priest confessor Carrying his own stone And his own lifes tester Choices we all make Reap what we doth sow If it is a mistake Only we may know So today I say begin it Live each day anew As if there were no limit To what you can do Break the chains that bind Exchange the cell for air Release the ripped torn mind Live again and dare Climb a mountain up so high Travel to lands far away Write your name from the sky Don't give a damn what they'd say Sing out loud and let them hear Laugh till your belly hurts Let go of every fear Wear outrageous shirts Live your dreams be content Learn as much as you can Know there is no torment That can chain free man Only when you control destiny Spin your own web of fate Then you find your angelic divinity Mayhap your life mate.

volution Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Q... What's a foxhole?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Light Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Foxhole... well when hunters are using dogs to hunt fox, as in the sport of english hunting (horse/rider) a fox is whiley and will hide itself in a foxhole where the dogs/hunters have a hard time to get at it. Reason some dogs are bread small to go into fox holes.. ie Terriers or.. in military speak, a fox hole can be considered a bunker. Less permanent than a bunker, its dug up so that soldiers have somewhere to rest their weary heads and bunker down... Writing a murder/mystery.. hmmmmm Modern day Agatha Christy? lol. quite possibly.
