Peace Be With Thee

 Rise born

To love or  hate
Right or sin  
Destroy create
Not give a hang 
One  yin one yang
Balanced to swing  
Time's tapping  drum
Shrilly  pipes blow 
As we war with ourselves
Over land we can’t own
Into which we all drop
Improving the crop 
So seeds we have sown 
Can become what we’ve known 
Until later we’ve grown
Into something we’re fated to be
angelic devils and devilish angels
Eternally lonely and free
Imagine a world full of graveyards 
As churches cathedrals inspire us
We can dance twixt the tombs till eternity comes
To polish the stones and admire us
The peace of mankind that he just couldn’t find
in the warmth of the earth’s cooling fire
Is finally there to enjoy and compare
To lost trees and dead seas and green clouds
We can rock and roll turning 
Over in turn
Silently screaming in shrouds
The one and the only ever so lonely 
Fool on the hill can attest
To the time and the cost 
With the rhymes of the lost
Written in stone for the rest
