[hometext] => The rhyme scheme of this one is really weird- but I meant for it to be that way, to give it more of a relaxed feel. It's supposed to be like someones last words.
[bodytext] => The moon shone bright tonight Lighting up this sky and these aimless passer-bys And I know it shone for me Lord you smiled on me tonight And I never want to shut my weary eyes. Life was hard today It stretched like horizons And snapped like a whip I heard forevermore echoes from dawn until dusk And the funeral bell tolls for me and my heart And my last foot-hold on safety that crumbled apart. If my life flashed before my eyes All I saw was the curtain falling For fireworks were cracking and they struck up the band And my grand finale has at long last began The dead-man walking soon walks no more. I was scarce for breath I looked to the heavens to bury their stares All is hazed but the stars piercing holes in the black Lord you mended these eyes and I’ll never go back. I’m no longer blind like these mockers surrounding me Though my past treads their paths And their ways are so familiar But for now I’m content to let my heartbeats grow few As God smiles down on me with the light of the moon.
