THE RACE WITH THE DEMONS
One step ahead ... of the demons behind
Who are always there ... trying to torture my mind
Their foul odor I inhale ... with each breath I take
As I run for my life ... trying to make an escape
Little did I know ... so many years in the past
I was setting the stage ... for their vicious attacks
Those acts and deeds ... from so long ago
Is the reason that now ... this gift is bestowed
But I welcome the chase ... it will erase the debt
No reason for pity ... and no time for regret
The karma is owed ... and I must pay up
That next time around ... I may drink of the Cup
Sometimes I see others ... running through the night
Repaying their debts ... and making things right
There is no choice ... there are lessons to learn
But there is no Hell ... and you will not burn
There are some who believe ... that your soul is doomed
That you are discarded ... like some scraps off the loom
But the only price you will pay ... for not being perfect my friend
Is the race with the demons ... that your own soul will send
