fail
In the hall of souls
Were life begins and ends
Awaits the chance to fail
Or make up all amends
Given us this life this day
A gift to damb the soul
A choice of everlasting life
On some it takes its toll
Just before the chosen time
The doubts of dreams come true
To return to the hall of souls
Is only for the few
longing for this life it waits
Forced upon us all
This is free will they say
Or are we here to fall?
