Somewhere far away
A cloudburst of delusion
Comes to wash away what we would save
Bracing for the storm
Fearing its intrusion
Hoping that our house withstands the wave
Somewhere much too close
The fires of disillusion
Stoked by spectres of a long gone day
Forgive but not forget
They said was the solution
But that won't keep the demon's wrath at bay
Awake another day
In a land of grand confusion
Hoping that our scars will somehow mend
Knowing deep inside
As the battle nears conclusion
The struggles in our soul will never end
