If you don’t 
want to lead 
…just set back 
and watch 
as it unfolds, 
and let others 
bleed

It’s a gamble 
at best 
so just don’t 
spin it 

With your free hand 
grab the dice 
and let them roll

we're only in it
to win it...


Its an ask…
pure simplicity, 
take it for 
what its worth 

A moment 
of your infinity
 
anyway, 
here it is…


Send me to Hell 
if think you’d dare 
We’ll see who 
gets there first


You brought us here 
against our will

So many of us 
have being beat or killed

Since the beginning 
made us pay


Stacked justice against us 
And made our lives Hell… 


Made promises, 
turned out to be lies 

But now, we’re here to stay

If you 
don’t want to lead, 
then step aside

Get the hell 
out of the way… 


And let those 
who seek freedom 
where bullets fly

Unafraid to feel 
the sting of pain

Knowing it takes more 
than free will and grace

to win this battle 
beyond death 

stand up and be counted 
or own up 
to your share 
of disgrace 

Some will even 
sell their mortal souls

Rather than face 
a certain fate

If you can’t stand 
to lose  
don’t even get in it

It seems you’ve missed 
reading the script 

There’s a lesson in the story 
you really should see

If you believe in history, 
it ought to be read, 

But you’d never know it… 
if you wind up dead

Another sign of these times? 

Choosing whether to stand up…
or sit down

What good is it 
if we’ve lost our minds

Minute details 
spoken by mimes and clowns

All planes explained 
in the details of this plan

Sixty seconds, 
each a step interwoven

Another blind alley to pursue 
Another tracer round, a clue

Another challenge 
for me and you

Another Link in the chain 
along the pathway

Finding the place 
where you will make your stand

By the sands of the Hourglass, a cue
Another hiss in the story of man

Wondering if we can achieve the goals
Of our momentary visions in truth 

Wandering, between the hopes and dreams
Really, in all this what does it mean

When I give you my all….
i ask, once again

it’s for an impossible task 
i spill my blood, again …


but will it last 

For this 
minute man
