1st Place Winner
Sitting here
thinking of
the life I pissed away
Keep coming back
to that faithful day
I met you
I met you
Over the years I decay
So many years delay
Wishing I was not betrayed
Finding my life pieces
A life I can't reconstruct
Drowning my self in a bottle
Bottle of self destruct
Only one who was Ever
there for me
Handed to me by a friend
Not knowing
The harm you bring
I ran to you
When things got bad
I turned to you
When I was sad
You where so
good to me
good to me
Over the years I decay
So many years delay
Wishing I was not betrayed
Finding my life pieces
A life I can't reconstruct
Drowning my self in a bottle
Bottle of self destruct
2nd Place Winner
He stands on the border between love and hate,
He feels like a child but this war just wont wait,
His hopes in his pockets, his dreams in his hands,
He steps out to prove hes a man.
His wife on her own, married only a year,
She struggles through each day consumed with the fear,
Heavy with child, her hearts heavy with dread,
She clings to the last words he said.
Ill be home soon
Ill be home soon.
His parents back home gently weep as they pray,
A candle is lit by his picture each day,
Ribbons all tied to the trees in the drive,
Will their son come back home alive?
Ill be home soon
Ill be home soon.
Hed hoped that through war he would fight to find peace,
Did it all flash before him as he fell to his knees,
His hopes are all fading his dreams almost gone,
How could it all go so wrong?
Hes coming back home now just not as hed planned,
Hes pale now of face and hes cold now of hand,
His familey are weeping they feel no relief,
Theyre left now to live with their grief.
Ill be home soon
Ill be home soon
Ill be home soon
Ill be home soon.
Runners-Up
As I walked along the river
I came across a man about to drown
So in the name of the forgiver
I stuck out my hand and pushed him down
The sun was shining like a neon sign
The sky as blue as his skin 'neath my hand
But he could see no more for he was blind
His eyes were full of nothingness and sand
And as I walked away I hummed a little tune.
It's such a perfect day and I will be home soon.
So many to assist along their merry way.
Then back to the abyss Until another day.
When I got into the city
my heart was overcome with joy
so much pain devoid of pity
I felt just like a child with a new toy
the beggers groveling at the feet
of disinterested strangers
and hustling crowds whose eyes wont meet
for fear of facing the dangers
And as I walked away I hummed a little tune.
It's such a perfect day and I will be home soon.
So many to assist along their merry way.
Then back to the abyss Until another day.
Your children, starving, full of pain
behind their eyes a hunger grows
you do the things you tell them not to
why they turn out bad, no one knows
your greed is growing like a tumorous flower
the more you get the more you desire
think nothing of killing in the name of power
let the bodies burn to feed your fire
and when the day is finally done
the souls are counted, one by one
and checked against my tally sheet
to see which ones will feel my heat
And as I walk away I hum a little tune.
It's such a perfect day and I will be home soon.
So many to assist along their merry way.
Then back to the abyss Until another day.
