# Look at it again

See you not the beauty of Death?

How the shadow must hide a light.

You know Life till the final breath,

Yet you speak of Death in the night.

 

I came to you from far away,

Came from calmer, carefree hills.

Look at my face and see the play

Of the light that from heaven spills.

 

I challenge you, I challenge all,

I challenge those there before me.

I ask you join me in the fall.

As from the heart of hope I flee.

 

I give my gift as there you lie.

I begin my story anew.

A gift for which many would die.

As now my dear must you.

 

I give freedom, I give you peace,

I hope you choose to use them well.

I see your face. Without a crease.

I'll next see you and it in hell.

 

So if ever you wonder: 'Why?'

The knife unused upon the sill.

Ask of me and I'll tell no lie.

I only ever meant you ill.

 

What was it that it was that made

me turn from that most subtle knife.

I left the dream that could not fade.

The taking of your precious life.

 

Why do I wish to have it all,

Just so I can throw it away.

At temptation I did fall.

I am only a child at play.

 

Forgive me now for telling truth,

As rainbows fly from roof to roof,

And horses lie, with golden hoof.

A child's dream. That is your proof?

 

I love you yes? I love you not?

My dreams, my heart, they never stop.

The answer becomes clear at last.

I hide my heart, I hide it fast.

 

So now you see why you were spared.

I know now that love is fake.

As is all that man does make.

My thoughts were only for myself,

I have no need for dreams of wealth.

For the future I am prepared.

 

Sing with me as we make our stand.

Forget the past just come and fall.

Tonight will you please hold my hand,

It never mattered, not at all.

_'I do not see beauty in Death._

_How can the shadow hide a light?_

_I feel your heart; I feel your breath,_

_Yet I fear the coming night.'_

Hope you like it. It's old but I thought it might excuse my absence.
