in the end

IN THE END
Did it matter who was the master
and who was the slave?
who won the battle
or who lies in the grave?

Does it make a difference
who gave over to hate?
or who sent love in a kiss?
Do we care if its true or a lie?

Do we know what wins and what loses?
what is to be done and what is not​?
Do we see the trees or just the leaves?
Do we hear the song or the music?

Who was to blame and who is innocent
will it change anything?
Who ruled and who was without a voice?

When will the scars heal ?
when will the journey be done?
Does it matter now
in the dawns yet to come?

Who is the searcher and who is the searched?
Who is the messiah and who the disciple?
Who crys for mercy and who seeks vengeance?
Who dances in the shimmering moonlight?

Who now walks beside me?
Where have the rest all gone?
Who was the poet and who the shooting star?
What meaning will really work for you?

Who is the man that hid in the words?
Who was the woman who gave her all?
Where did the bullets land?
Who shot them?

What can now be done
to chase away the ghosts
and get back to you
