The Malice of Life's Cruel Ways

I see you stand in the rain of a darkened day
And denial won't ease your pain
I see you falter through doors you've passed through before
As your memories all fade away

I see you stand in a blaze of infernal pain
In denial and on the wane
I see you falter through endless corridors
An illusion and a world led astray

I know your heart has grown so dark
Torn all apart by the malice of life's cruel ways
I know your soul has grown so cold
So frail and old, far too weary to face the day

I see you fall, see you crawl
See you face the wall that keeps the world away
I hear you cry, see you strive
See you mourn your life in the arms of an unborn day
