SacrificeA Poem by Declan CooneyAn old poem revisited and recorded! But, its not released to the public yet...Salvation’s incantations Of our nations relations Enduring intimate hatred Enslaved in fury that’s sacred In the distress and madness And crowds of corpses at masses I stand alone In my black beanie and sunglasses It is this world That trespasses As slow as molasses And yet crashes At the passage Of massive spatial gashes And while you fascists want To attach my s**t to your fads Its only pissing me off Its only getting me mad! So shift your feet Start your stepping And walk the f**k out You don’t want to even want To test the evil Flowing from my mouth I would take a bullet for honor I would take a knife for my fam I would be tortured for love You don’t know who the f**k I am Such superficial sacrificial Thoughts going on Such intensified indispensable Thoughts coming on Its like a breakdown alarm And this time it is real Its like when it rains And every raindrop I can feel And every droplette of acid rain Burns upon my flesh Soaking to the bone I’m enduring my test. I sacrifice myself for others Cause I know what they’d do If it was me with the gun to my head Instead of you Sacrifice Sounds so nice When in your plight All reasons being right Like you’ve seen the sight Of death in its height And you realize The triteness of life So walk toward the light (Walk toward the light!) Clouded in darkness I light the torch of my truth To guide my path thru sanity And find my way to you Roads paved with memories Of my faults and my fears Ahead I see joyful days Behind me, foes and tears I’m beyond my deception And emotional ties I am beyond social secession And pathological lies I immerse myself in daylight Yet to cover up my soul I bask in beams of sunlight And nowadays I feel whole It’s like all of this darkness I’ve been locking away Has been released from its bindings That kept it at bay And now I’m here to pray That H T P can love But I ain’t gonna say, “It’s a gift from above” I’m saying my broken heart Still harbors some juice I’m saying, if you’re interested It’s all belonging to you I’m saying, I ain’t meant to be here for very long But you got me thinking That I was all as hell wrong Sacrifice Sounds so nice When in your plight All reasons being right Like you’ve seen the sight Of death in its height And you realize The triteness of life So walk toward the light (Walk toward the light!) I'm unwanted Missing every part For once, not just crappy I fought off my own demons With no one to back me I’m done with the acting And just portraying such ruth I’m defiant and rutilant Imbued with new truths Dividing with my rage I take steps to be calm Strange becomes Haze As right becomes wrong While wrong becomes right I can breathe in this life I can see in this light Please don’t leave me tonight I’m spilling my spite Releasing my knives Begging, praying, Pleading, needing this vice I finally decide To choose the good side To relinquish all my sin That’s been trapped in my mind So be the one that I find When I open these eyes To see a new world Wiped clean of my lies Will you be there to aid me In battles of woe? Will you slay my demons with me While misguided and broken? Will you sacrifice just a piece of your soul So we can bind it with mine, So at least we can be whole And I promise, for you A life free from pain With me by your side Come the tide, and moon again © 2008 Declan Cooney |
