A stalwart call bereft of sound.

On a quest to find a side.

In the end the world decides me

So little choice within my eyes.


No time for tears but all decisions

Making way for longer time.

The hourglass is turned and draining

I must revive, I must survive.

No precious life is born of fear No malice coursing through their veins Each child ...
