MISTER METZ

Morning mist is throwing spears
of damp and chilling cold.
Mister Metz can't feel his tears,
they've all grown old.

The newspapers are all worn out,
as is he.
He's forgot what it's all about,
what's it like to be.

Oh, some of us fall
into the cradle of truth.
Oh, some of us call
death already in youth.

He prayed a lot back in the days
when his core was still alive.
It's hard to look God in the face,
when you strive to survive.

He kneels low, an altar of booze.
"Make my survival into something true!"
He was always made to lose.
He'll always be an image of you.

Oh, some of us fall
into the cradle of truth.
Oh, some of us call
death already in youth.

"Oh, some of us fall
into the cradle of truth.
Oh, some of us call
death already in youth."

Such truth you speek,
My dear driend,
Every word of yours like a pierce finds,
Its way direct into my heart's shrine...

May one day,
Your peace, you shall find!

(((Big Warm Hugs)))
Dan darling.

LOve,
Your friend,
Zoya
