A Life's Work

Questions unanswered
What is life and what is death?
Are we just pawns in someone's game of chess?
Is it all an illusion...a far forbidden dream?
Is God the maker of this complex scheme?
Am I his decoy through my suffering joy?
What a joy on this day of may!
A child so precious, bright and fair.
A welcomed boy, born on mother's day.
The smell of springing in the air.

Young boys grow fast, it's safe to share
Mother's love, daddy's care.
It's a brand new day
In a brand new world
But, before you learn life's golden rule
They kick you off to school...today.
It's an all new song
In an all new play
Come youth, come what may...

I was never made for school
Too independent.
But then I learned to bend the rules.
To rise above that noble deed
Of being a part of this game for losers
Game of fools
Money talks! And to justify
That deadly sin they call greed,
Your bonds & stocks we must multiply.
25% - Is my small fee
Come in and sign!

I've been waiting for so long for this moment
It's like a dream that's come alive.
I buy - I sell...I leave the clients
With just a fragment....
I'm on my way to better times.
Don't tempt me now!
There's an ocean that's peaceful and endless

Don't tempt me now
I've seen our future to be
Don't tempt me now!
Take my hand
Walk away from this madness
Don't tempt me now!
Your love is all I need

Wherever you are,
No matter near or far,
Whatever you say,
Your sins won't fade away
The road to hell is paved
With good intentions...
Do you know where you are?
Be sure not to hate
The beast you now create
Your kingdom today
May become your hideaway,
Where the saints and all
The demons you employ
Reveal your suffering joy.

In my dreams both sing to me
A choir of angels and the devil's kin
In confrontation...of good and evil
Where no-one can win.
My flesh is weak - is that a sin?
Let the battle begin!
Take a bite...just a little bite
And another bite...just a little bite

Wherever you are,
No matter near or far.
Whatever you say,
Your sins won't fade away.
The road to hell is paved
With good intentions...
Do you know where you are?
Be sure not to hate
The beast you now create.
Your kingdom today
May become your hideaway
Where the saints and all
The demons you employ
Reveal your suffering joy!

A brand new day - revisited
Scrutinize your mind boy
Tell me what you see.
I did it for too long
Look what became of me.
Ideas of right and wrong
All in a haze...
Till the answers made the questions
Fall into place
The fears and doubts in life
Create the demons we employ
It's a brand new day
In a brand new world

There's love
There's hate
There's no denying
We love this suffering joy!
It's an all new song
In an all new play
Wherever we are,
No matter near or far,
Whatever we say,
We may stand accused one day,
For our sins, greed and delusions.
And you know who you are!
Be sure not to hate
The beast you might create
Accept or debate
True forces of fate.
Life is not a one-way destination
It's filled...with suffering joy!
