Changes that were hardly noticed Until time itself became a chain Once hot blood began to cool My ever slowing heart beat in vain From the nightmare I wake in another dream And stare at an unbroken sky Try to distill a cure for the plague That's put to rest everything--I once felt inside To never again be bound by united blood A sense of purpose lost forever more Is this the way I'll die? no! I'll find the sense of honor that I held once before The blood the honor the truth Thought it would never end The blood the honor the truth Can be part of our lives again
