Lux Æterna

I have seen my fortress turn to ashes

I have lived through the darkest times, 

I have felt the loneliness since a young age

I can see the bad in a grain of sand.

Yet my eyes will find a reason to smile

there's also beauty in the dark,

the night is needed for the day to be bright

the tears are needed to clean your sight.

I guess.. somehow

I can see through the unkind

the rotten was once new

the new will rot someday too..

just because it's nice does not mean it won't do harm 

I have my eyes and heart aligned.

You can fool me once.. 

but it won't

ever

happen

twice.
