Yet she stood unbroken— And the fire found her not wanting. Her journey sang a symphony of pain, Yet like a lamb, she stood in peace. Her sweetness was blood, And uneven was the burden...

The Animal Trap
The animal trap The artist the athlete the strength of the human condition The leaders still fight Those inner demons Dance death into extinction Loves only threat Humans were a joke Then they reached Olympus Take the waves thrashing the ships Be the conquerer The life that takes The world remakes The feeling so hard and dark At Attention stands the demon man We can walk in...
