Chapter 9 - Internal Void

Forty years of sorrow felt

And the last one kind of numb

Watching corruption like a disease

Until the working day is done

Happiness lies in alcohol for this

Lonely abuse man he said

The law was the last thing I had to believe

So you can blacklist me again

Completely confident completely insane

Complete dedication and completely insane

Born a son of the military

Tried to make his father proud

His childhood spent in submission

Til the anger made him scream aloud

This boy never could quite measure up

In education for his old man

And the price that he paid was a piece of his soul

Another thing he couldn’t understand

So this internal shadow he carries

Grows with each passing year

And losing his wife to his only friend

Left his spirit swimming in his tears

He became a man of the law so

He could salvage just a little pride

But the evil he saw he took his badge and his gun

On a one way lethal ride

Was he wrong?

Now he’s gone

Six others and then himself

And the dark road he was on

Was a painful endless cry for help

We must realize deep in our eyes

Lies the window to our soul

We can help those who have capsized

Before the evil it takes control
