We each have a right...to choose our own fate...the road we travel...sometimes reaps our destiny...




You come out of the crypt

A soldier

You think you're wise

The streets have taken you

From innocense

Giving you no choices

You don't know me

I am a queen

Fear keeps my dreams within my grasp

I have a vision

Someday to rise and walk away

With dignity

My Brother

I've prayed death set you free

Giving another life

A chance to grasp

Such as me

Your Brother's own your soul now

The mercenary

You chose to become

Reap your destiny
