the madness we caress
purity in your tears
treasure in these ruins,
and the futility of those fears
is it worth it, is it worth the pain?
[pause]
enough of pain
darkness and blurred sight
come close, heed to my plight
I have burnt the blame
in a holy flame
lead me from the ashes
show me your light
thanks so much Michael, appreciate your kind words. this picture of the statues has stayed with me for a long time. found the words a few days back through yet another inspiration..and click! 🙂
