In the darkest of dark I looked for thee

On the loneliest of nite with only despair for company 

A thousand Thoughts and heart racing on 

Ding the bell went, its time,battle commence ,LETS GET IT ON

A 2 horse race between body and mind,

Now the devils coming up hard on the inside,

To remind me of my soul,and all my bad thoughts and misdeeds 

3 runners now 

ah fuck

head fried

A winner of this race will be hard to find

Rider down 

Early faller, 

Mind lost ,broke free, 

and away he scarpered 

Body and soul head to head now 

Only 1 winner now there can't be a doubt

Soul is destroyed and can't carry on,

So body's the winner 

but how long can he go on

He's broken and battered, and running out of breath,the odds of him finishing

 not looking the best

Off he will ride to the sunset where he is destined to be

With mind,body and soul all gone,

All Set free

 

My life stopped ,while yours kept living
