shattered mirrors and burning ash dreams
dancing hag witches frayed at the seams
landscapes of sadness shed tears of remorse
because heaven is a myth when you ride a lame horse


burned out basements house alters of pain
windows of darkness hang like a stain
madness may taunt you then take you by force
because heaven is a myth when you ride a lame horse


portraits of doubt sketched by fearful men
odes of no value from the poets sick pen
desolation litters faiths uncharted course
because heaven is a myth when you ride a lame horse
