Jet Black

by Ghost Town   Apr 3, 2006


I hear the cries, and I close my eyes
This darkness I feel is Heaven
I had lost my life, I had seen the light
I had saved the lives of men
God don't want me, nor does Hell
So here I wander by myself

And I threw my life away
And I know this everyday

I fear the past, Its gone by so fast
Hiding within the shadows
Where have I gone? What have I done?
The answers only I know
These thoughts stuck in my head
So I am here, half dead

Now I ask myself again
Why'd I throw my life away

I know I can never turn back
I know that I have turned Black
And now I know I'm a lost soul
I know that I am The Shadow

Come with me, Come and see
This place, it is our Heaven
You will face no sacrifice, With me you will see the light
And come with me to start again

'Cause God don't want you, nor does Hell
All we got now is ourselves

This is my life
(My death, rebirth)
This is my strife
(There is no mirth)

I have saved the lives of men
(Or Have I?)
No False Promise to live again
(Is this me? )
Is this what I want?

(Am I all right?)

Is this what it feels like
(To be Insane?)
I thought there was no strife
(Is this their pain?)
Is this all black and white?
(Or just shades of grey?)
Is this what I want?
(What am I today?)

And now I know I can't turn back
For I am the shadow

I am Jet Black

    It was okay...I suppose there were some weak parts but overall the piece fit with one another. It was fine in some regards yet....not exactly overwhelming. An okay job.....Word choice was good.
