Pendulum

Fire And Steel

Compositor: Tony Bjerk

I am the prisoner of the silence
I keep to hide the pain
When the incessant desire
Isn’t fully satisfied

I am the slave of the search
For sense and redemption
For each day postponed from
The unknown date of my death

When there are no more tears to cry
Not even a smile to show gratitude
The swing of the pendulum will repeat
Between pain and boredom
