Analysis of Wind of Destiny (Part IV)



I am frail
Young and blue
Light unto nothing
My world all a lie
The demons
Made me cry
I hurt like
Nothing before
Shattered like glass
Upon the floor
Deeply my soul
Was not lit
Staggering along
In the ditch
Coming closer
The light came
Before I could see
Raised my voice
A stutter on
My knees
