The gray between black and white
The land to wonder and spite
Waking up blind
Taking in the light
The tally combined
A soul set aflight
New world defined
The granite sky, leaded with rain
Landscapes stretch beyond the horizon
A concrete prison of the mundane
Where the silent walls have risen
Yearning for peace at last
The call from above to come
Paid for the debts once amassed
Even pain welcome
All the work of a life
Wasted years haunting
Tip of a knife, ever-present on the throat
Dancing shadows taunting
No place for the devote
