Bought and Sold

The night's cold
And life unfolds
Are we bought and sold?
We're always getting old,

Cloudy skies on a good day to die
The survivors ask why
Widows sigh and children cry
There's something in my eye,

Life seems uncertain
Hidden from behind a curtain
Regrets weigh a ton
And then the day is done,

Where will our burial be?
In the deep blue sea?
Don't depend on me
Is this a killing spree?

Lord knows when you go
Numb from your head to your toes
Anything goes anything goes
Are you my friend or foe?

The nights are cold
My Baby was bought and sold
Seemed she was always controlled
Could never be consoled,

Enough has been said
I made my bed
For every sorrow I bled
One more Bible chapter read,

My guardian angel fell asleep
Is this my soul to keep
God am I ready for this leap?
Questions run so deep,

Journey at dawn
And the world goes on
When all hope is gone
What will this all spawn?

Most of us not ready to rest
There's always another conquest
Too many things unconfessed
Was any wisdom possessed?

Just let me get this off my chest
The river's about to crest
I fear I've made a mess
It seems to matter less and less.
