i done been
a many places
i done seen
a many faces

been around
the world
smelt the nature
of foriegn girls

had bullets
with my name on it
had habits
that i thought i could never quit

stood with both feet
on a presidents grave
peeped out of the same hiding spots
of the run away slaves

heard the silence
of Check Piont Charlie - the Berlin Wall
came back later
to witness that wall fall

been the first on the scene
only to watch --- the last breath
and at the request of a friend -- i kept company
until replaced by the angel of death

i knocked on the door
in military dress uniform
to tell a single mother
that her baby didn't survive the storm

i knocked doors open
after my knocks went unanswered
done poured death inside
chased that ghost high -- knowlingly impaired

caught hearts -- broke hearts
in a effort to ease my pain
told love to wait for me -- while i ran
escaped in silence -- i even believed that i caught satans train

now i stand -- broken
ready to piece me back together again
wondering how i can take myself
to a place -- that i have never been

after vision
