Round and Round

Why, why, why
Do I keep on
Where does it go
how does it end
Go, go, go
just to wind up with a stone
over your head
name carved in
An ancient bed
A balance of nothing
I'm tied in
to my part in the chain
Trapped within
my own thousand walls
working to help
a useless cause
Grinding, grinding
wearing me down
Snap in the balance
leaves me free and gone
But never again
a victim of the system
Sunk down
in a bottomless hole
Wishing to leave
but having nowhere to go
Dreaming of beyond
The enumerous points of light
Empty
as the sky
It holds them
far away from me
wall between
distance I can't reach
The outside must reach in
I refuse acknowledge
in what refuses acknowledge mine
Hold to nothing
building what will be lost
unless two hold it
Two know it
Their numbers tell
and finally show
What lives unspoken
What lies unburried
That which never will die.

Love
it grows
Life
inside my soul
Climbing up
to the standard's pinacle
Held together
steady by Love
Strong together
a gift from above
We help one another
two can't fall down
Climb together
On, on and on
We go together
round and round
lost in this thing
on going around
until we see no end
No death exists
Only Love
We found us two
Find this thing
placed deep in God's hands
Held Holy
Held Pure
As all should always be
As was written a thousands years ago
Kadosh
A symbol of all to come
Love of one
Love for another
Love to the death
For the sake of the other
But still above die
All things untrue
Bad things
never
I'm glad
do last forever
Love forever
Love is right
Love is good
This holds us
This lives
On and on
round and around
Love will never die.
