Analysis of In the Beginning
In the beginning a story was told.
Nothing is blamed, and no one to scold.
Confirmation comes in the end
Words are spoken, as the story begins
The truth reveals the hurts and pains
Nothing is lost, and everything to gain
Passion's and dreams mist the air
Obstacle directions prevent me there
A light so dimmed and far away
Should I go, perhaps I'll stay
Visions flashing before my eyes
Truth spoken of forsaken lies
In the beginning all was lost
As the story continues, they will reap their cost
My story is hidden, beyond ones desire
In the end, burns flesh from the fire
Screams of hatred fulfill the night
Constantly foreseeing the dimmed light
The story burns deeper to the core
Not understanding, but seeking more
Comer to terms within yourself
For we all live in poverty, and in wealth
Take your fears, and pass them on
Say the words, all shall be gone
This is not a path of losing nor winning
For it all starts in the beginning.
