I dare not dream lest my hopes be for naught
because I know that a tear is just
behind my eyes. I know that joy
only distracts from the cold cruel heart
of life. I can not smile because I know
that it's a lie to say the least
But I don't care right now because
I'm staring at a purple sky
stretching across the mountains…
I think of loves I've lost and let
the tears begin to fill my eyes
I think of the cross I bear and the stones
still hung around my neck and sigh
I know only the pain of hate
so spawned by hurt that grows within me
But right now I feel no pain because
I'm staring at a purple sky
stretching across the mountains…
Everywhere I walk, the cold hand
of pain is not too far behind
every step I make I walk with it
beside. My dance with hate is constant
as every breathe I heave is blown
across her face. I walk in her
shadow but not just now because
I'm staring at a purple sky
stretching across the mountains.
