I feel the need to write tonight

I feel the need to write tonight
A Ballad for the Ages
Honor and Glory, Love and Lust
Besiege unworthy pages
A tempest storms inside my soul
Its eye and piercing glare
Inside a frightened child woes
Innocence in disrepair

The need to feel feels right tonight
But the moment quickly passes
For I am just another sight
In a sea of witless masses

My pencil bleeds its life away
And tumbles from the hand
"Just another tool" they say
For something far more grand

The song is lost forever now
A Tribute to the Ages
Lies and worthless scribbles now
Besiege unworthy pages
