Circumstantial Evidence

Circumstantial Evidence


How do you face your consequences
When your heart spins out of control,
Where do you find the will to hope
When circumstances scream that you can’t cope?
Staccato rhythm of a dungeon’s squealing gate
Tries to take your life from you, your happiness negate,
Something rising within you, choking on your fate,
All the chances of love begrudged within this hate.
Your soul is on the altar, with the knife about to plunge,
Where is your saviour, the hero from out of the night?
Where is the coming dawn…
When the dark has stolen your sight?
How do you face the consequences
When your heart spins out of control,
Where do you find the will to hope
When circumstances scream that you can’t cope?
Where is the hero that comes to rescue you
From where the danger you’ve allowed has imprisoned you,
And where will you turn when there is no holding back,
When your heart’s been torn from you and placed upon the rack?
