For Every Choice A Consequence

Something I wrote on a whim for my old metal project.

Oblivious as time ticked by

till the day I closed my eyes

mindless choices led me astray

its my own life I defied

reflecting on dreams that I forsake

trivial matters siezed the day

communication crippled decayed

broken ambitions in my wake

Quick to judge

and quick to fall

so young and naive 

I thought I knew it all

This isn't true, it cannot be

this cannot be my destiny

there are no words in my defense

for every choice a consequence

there is no time to hide and cower

wake up and smell the folowers

stand tall and claim your power

the clock has struck your final hour

never once could I forsee

my every choice was haunting me

a shadow stalking my every step

to end my life with regret

should have made things right

should have said I cared

should have seeked the stars

and the time is nigh

here in my burial sight

Quick to judge

and quick to fall

so young and naive 

I thought I knew it all

This isn't true, it cannot be

this cannot be my destiny

there are no words in my defense

for every choice a consequence

there is no time to hide and cower

wake up and smell the folowers

stand tall and claim your power

the clock has struck  your final hour

so raise your head or cry in sorrow

the path you choose unfolds tomorrow

your destiny is yours to shape

heed my words and don't forsake

life is short so make it matter

give all you can give 

until your dying hour

live to the fullest and don't forget

to live your life with no regrets
