Atheist on the front line...

For many years I’ve wondered... What is the meaning of life
If i were to live to a hundred... With four kids and one wife
It would not become clear to me... The cause for which we endure strife
I guess its hard to comprehend
How a broken heart can transcend.

Because the pain man has felt through time... Has been inflicted by man and man alone
Forever we ask ourselves how we go beyond... Beyond this restricted hell in which we roam
From believers of polytheistic gods of war, to the Catholic church of Rome
The silver lining that they did once seek... is eroding away as we speak

Speak of duty, speak of love, speak for the divine man above
Play the hand that fits the glove and slay in the name of brotherly love.
Happy days in memory now so sudden and free
As this pain in my heart is killing me
And as my blood is drawn by this holy knife
I’m forever lost in the quest for the meaning of life.
