We drove the long way home,
Past the prison gates and through the years
And at the side of the road we saw a faceless man
Whose old grey skin held his ageing bones together like an oversized leather glove
And whose eyes sank so far into his skull they seemed as black as the midnight air
But this mans gift was his words
He told us how there is a fine line between order and chaos,
That there are those in life who do not know what they are fighting for,
But that it is the fight that counts,
And that a man without principles is a fool only to himself
And the years past and we never saw him again
The eyes held a crystal glaze, but the scent did not return
