War

I.

How can I watch you lie
helplessly, hopelessly
knowing what I know,
feeling what I feel.
You bleed,
I suffer.
I see you drifting from love
and into Hell.
I hear your silent screams,
they burn deep within your soul.
Further then you'll ever dare to look.
I try to help you to see,
but I guess it's beyond me.
For I have no power in this dying world.

II.

And it is here and now a war.
Good versus evil.
I cry out to you,
but as I pick up my bible...
You run for the cover of your drugs.
They are your reality
and your undoing.
You've been taken captive to addiction,
you're a prisoner of war with no end,
as evil takes the lead.
