Left Behind

I stand here now,
Helpless and bowed.
Between the veil of hell,
And the gates of gold,
My feet no longer carry me,
From where I last fell,
I've been left behind through the tribulation,
Will I live to tell?
From where I stand,
Is a burden undefined,
Where good and evil are grand,
And love and hate entwined.
I've been showered on, hail and fire,
But I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward.
The good have run,
From the dark sky,
You can't see the sun,
Smoke fills the sky,
And infests my lungs.
The veils been torn,
demons unleashed,
Haunting and torturing, us and the creatures.
May I speak a speech of bravery?
The land and sky growing blankly,
Man and women wavering,
The days are now shorter,
Pains now longer,
From where I stand now,
I'm helplessly cornered.
I'm only alive,
For as long as I can thrive,
The way things are going,
Only the strong survive.
We are all blind,
Daylights now night,
And we'll die trying,
Confusion and fear is now binding,
Through all these lies,
We are lost beyond finding.
I've been left behind,
While the others continue flying,
To the gates of glory,
Beyond the end of the story,
But I've been left behind,
Trying to find my way in the fight,
Blind without sight.
To confront the question,
In which I stand,
Left Behind,
Unlike all mankind.
I stand here now,
Helpless and bowed,
Between the veil of hell,
And the gates of gold,
My feet no longer carry me,
From where I last fell,
I've been left behind through the tribulation,
Will I live to tell?
It's a 50/50 chance,
As I take a glance,
Left and right,
50% chance death,
50% chance life.

I'll take the chance draw the straw
A flip of the coin heads of tails
in all this there is a flaw
God help me if all fails
