Double Edged Sword I could pretend you're not there, tell myself, I just don't care wipe away the grit in my eyes go through life, believing such lies... Try to silence a searing conscience though it pierces the soul, like a well aimed lance without the breastplate it's open slather, can I afford to say, it just don't matter... Chorus Two edged Sword wielding truth this heart of mine needs little more proof Razor sharp cuts through life's pages right to the chase down through the ages Can I ignore or can I ill afford to walk away from the "Double edged sword" Could I wait, till the deathbed call, try to bend the knee, give my all might get lost on the ferris wheel what then, a second appeal We go round once in the scheme of life the carnival cleverly disguised strife open mouthed clowns take your last token leave the child, lost and broken Bridge.. Let me at the rollercoaster No Ghost Train, it's a soul roaster I'll take all of life's highs and lows even when they're just plain low blows.. No carousel where painted horses stare I'll bow for the White Horse Rider, with no fear! Ch'erie de Perrot Copyright 2008 CAL Copyright Australia Ltd All Rights Reserved

Love it, sort of reminds me of some Joan Baiz work in the sixties. You done this so well and I didn't know you were a songwriter.

Hello High Country Girl,

So well written and full of wisdom! Truly the Word of God is living and active and sharper than a double-edged sword, that cuts through the heart and soul with its truth. A blessing to read...and sing.
