Requiem to Freedom
1990

I - hidden thoughts

once again
all you remember
is obscured by darkness
what has become of your past?
a darkness you can touch... feel.
yet still confusion reins
tangible... to pull you up?
what have you done... and why?

II - within

a trial,
for you, against yourself,
contained within your mind
with you as your own prosecution
forced to see what you have become
abandoned is the dreamer... and hope.
a raper and destroyer of the mind
such is your past
scream - end the agony
silence
then...
raper!
only that and the pain hold true

III - ending

leave us our children
they know not what they do
yet you took them to you
with them went the capability
for joy - for life
with them went hope
all thoughts of the future gone
with them
clear thought

IV - repentance

"this is not what I wanted"
so you cry out to the flames
cold response
"it is your legacy"
"no, I would never have done such a thing"
yet the doing is circled
in your power all others were crushed
you took away their souls
"this cannot be," you dream
still, the flames close in
it has been done.

V - vision

a body comes in sight
as you move through your sorrow
one of the many
children in your war
yet the dead speak
"I believed in you
all you said was right
for yours I gave my all
yet the cost
my belief
my love
now here I lie
dead, as you

VI - Conclusion

guilt is your only companion now
free to roam within your thoughts
to slowly drive you mad
your country and its children lie in waste
they hate you now you know
even as a ghost you cannot withstand
your broken honor
another Stalin from the pack
another leader come and released to graze
inevitably these thoughts are snapped by shame
and, once again-
all you remember
is obscured by darkness
