A Place Called Hell

Shambhala 1988 (Ronkonkoma)



I know it will be far from me.
A place called heaven will be for me.
A soon to be heaven yells out through me.
I don't cry or sing but laugh and talk.
I don't remember what I saw but the flames of hell were taking me.
I changed my way and led a life of forgiveness and found a place called heaven
I didn't know I was crazy until I found myself hazy.
I dressed like anyone would and pressed myself to labor til I found a sabbath rest forever.
I might be cunning and very loud but this I know I find a crown.
Shambhala is my name, It seems like repetitive but as Romeo said 'what is in a name?' and this I hear her true love speak 'you are fair.'.
So take this to hear life is worth living if only you have found a name.


The end.
