At Destiny’s Gate

Lost here somewhere on memory lane

Thinking of all those I’ve met who were insane

Too many self-destructing in the fast lane

Wondering if my life was a loss or a gain,

It’s a long haul down recollection road

Carrying this heavy load

Seems more like confusion ala mode

Just have to decipher that sacred code,

Seems that the water is icy cold

Where lives are bought and sold

And with all that misery untold

Time to break that duplicitous mold,

I wonder if there’s anybody here

Seems society’s thinking isn’t clear

It’s always the noble ones they want to smear

It’s the savages who never shed a tear,

Now I can hear that mournful sound

Of dripping blood and boots on the ground

They’ve managed to release hell’s hounds

It seems that the evil abounds.

Should be hard for you to look in the mirror

As all the destruction becomes a little clearer

Before she left you you should have been near her

You’re without a paddle in a rushing river,

Walking this thin line of fate

Wondering if you can even relate

In an era where you can’t even trust your mate

Wondering how you faltered at destiny’s gate.
