Analysis of Their Day
Outside my morals I traveled in spirit alone
to look closer at what the world has become
Broken glass spears the hearts
of misfortunate little ones.
Anchors of guilt preside on old folks
whose mistakes turned to mountains
Impossible to climb
Power and glory decieve some who believe
They were fortunate enough to escape that hell
But they also will have their day...
