Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding everything you see.

So numb I have become

Waiting for this life to begin

Waiting for my spirit to fly again

 

I know that

Down this long and lonely road

I’ll discover how

This world became so cold

 

Carry those blessed men across the battlefield

Take them home so their lives can begin again

Carry those blessed men onto sacred ground

Show the world that nothing can ever keep us down

 

Now I witness

Tragedies forced upon my fellow man

I see the tears

Of the family that they loved

I hear the screaming voices

Asking if this how God shows his love

 

Carry those blessed men across the battlefield

Take them home so their lives can begin again

Carry those blessed men onto sacred ground

Show the world that nothing can ever keep us down

 

So numb I have become

Waiting for this life to begin

 

Sometimes I sit and wonder if there really is a point to life. I often ask myself if there's any meaning. And if there is a meaning why is there so much mystery around it? Why is it hidden from all of us? But on the other hand would we really want to know? Would it actually help us to know what we're really here for? Or would it just cause us to try harder to avoid whatever we're headed to? Would those of us who take our lives try harder to hold on? Would it give us something more to hold on to? Or would it just bring us to that point of disaster sooner? I guess there really isn't any way to really answer any of these questions, but it never hurts to ask.

Rain drops fall upon my face

As I stare in awe at this beautiful place

The world around me seems so strange

Oh how I love the way things change

 

A silent voice calls my name

Like Heavens voice inside my brain

An angels whisper in my head

Guiding me through the life I once led

 

In this place everything seems magical

In this place everything can change

In this place everything seems sacred

Once again I hear the voice behind me

And I swear I feel an angel breathing on my skin

 

Now I know how this must seem

To those who’ve never been there

Take my word it’s like living in a dream

I was once a man who felt so empty

Like there was nothing in this life for me

But then I found that place and heard the voice of an angel

Silently calling my name

 

In this place everything seems magical

In this place everything can change

In this place everything seems sacred

Once again I hear the voice behind me

And I swear I feel an angel breathing on my skin

 

Please have faith and know that one day

No matter how dark things may seem

You shall find this palace of dreams

You will enter your kingdom of peace

 

In this place everything seems magical

In this place everything can change

In this place everything seems sacred

Once again I hear the voice behind me

And I swear I feel an angel breathing on my skin

1) Be impeccable with your word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

 

2) Don't take anythig personally: Nothig others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the oppinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

 

3) Don't make assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

 

4) Always do your best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment, it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

 

These are the Four Agreements handed down by the wise Toltec and written by Don Miguel Ruiz.If we do our best to follow these four agreements you'll be surprised just how much your life can change.  

You cut me into pieces

And devoured my soul

Then you put me back together

But refused to make me whole

You held onto this life of mine

By saying you were my friend

But I found out the hard

Those were just lies to reel me in

 

Oh why can’t I hate you

Why do I hold on to you

Why can’t I just throw you away

Why do I hold onto this dream

Why do I live in fantasies

Why can’t I face reality

Why do I let you lie to me

 

I guess I had it coming

I suppose I should have known

If I ever get my hopes up

In the end I’ll be left alone

I thought you were different

That maybe you would care

But in the end I realized

That you were never really there

 

Oh why can’t I hate you

Why do I hold on to you

Why can’t I just throw you away

Why do I hold onto this dream

Why do I live in fantasies

Why can’t I face reality

Why do I let you lie to me 

My mind is filled with venomous lies

And my heart is frozen in blackened ice

As my flesh decays I seethe with rage

At the prospect of spending my life like this

 

I try to embrace my goddesses face

But my wings break and I fall from grace

Landing amongst those who rape and kill

While your god says they must have free will

 

I take my place on a throne of bones

And proclaim myself their king

The rivers run red with blood that’s been shed

From the innocents who’ve been slain

 

There’s destruction all around me

There are blazing fires everywhere

I smell the stench of burning bodies

And screams of terror fill the air

 

This is my forsaken kingdom

A place I rule with cruelty and despair

This is my forsaken kingdom

For all who enter here beware
