The Deviant Chord

Jag Panzer

Candles light these empty words spoken of my past 
A dreamy and forgotten time 
When all my dreams were clear as glass 

Sadness paints darkened colors of all my days gone by 
The tearful shards of what remains this man 
And his shattered life shattered life 

A distant bell ring out its tone a warning of end of days 
Chills my soul deep down inside no return to yesterdays 
Its droning tone reminds me 
How predictable my life's become 
Every day just like the last takes a toll my brain is numb 

Tell me how to change my life tell me what to do 
Teach me how life is good tell me what to see see in me 

On and on this song plays on each note sounds the same 
Striking a chord within my soul causing life to drain 
When this opus finally ends will its chime ring swee? 
Cause us all to make amends repent our ways 
Bring it to an end 

Conductor of this symphony what others dream as life? 
Each note rings out a glimpse of truth 
Guide me to the afterlife 

Sing to me oh heavenly ones let me hear your song 
Ringing true within my heart turning rights from wrong 
Sing my song for all to hear and turn from evil ways 
This deviant life we all have lived
Now changed for future sake
