Cast in Grey - Penance

Gaunt figures of a dismal world

Cast in grey with tattered flags unfurled

Gone beyond just me and you

The perfect symmetry of being ripped in two

Blue is the color of life

While you’re cast in grey

All the years of tomorrow

That are gone today

Pallid shadows of a sight unseen

Revealing truths of the machine

Gossamer wings that could never fly

Paint new horizons for you and I

Blue is the color of life

While you’re cast in grey

All the years of tomorrow

That are gone today

Heaven sends

And Hell awaits

With patience

Smile at you with rage

As I emerge from

Hatred

Lying in wait unbridled fury

Laced with self-titled glory

Crimson tides and ashen dreams

Will rise above make you believe

Moonlight backdrop of one dimension

Multi-layers of my invention

Weaving spells cast to the wind

Reliving things that could have been
