Broken Down

Broken Down

Broken down and defeated
I close my eyes to rest
The smell of copper
The taste of pain
The feeling of distress

The darkness that is swelling
In my heart
In my soul
The death that is coming
As the sickness takes its toll

A flash of brilliant colors
An instant of the sea
A charming face
One brief disgrace
The cry and desperate plea

One solid lake of darkness
Cracking from the hate
One mourning hand
From scorching land
Reaches out too late
