"Bulletproof, again"

 

Each plate that slams into my body leaving me within

The clatter of the armour as it slams around my frame

Leaving me with nothing but a feeling that's akin

To hummingbird's erratic flight, or mountaintop aflame

Another life upon the altar, witness to all time

A passing of the stanzas that were written out in rhyme

The armour light, the fury heavy, dragging on the chain

Une autre vie, in every way, I'm bulletproof, again

"Solo flight"

I spread my wings as I fly all alone
I soar above the clouds all on my own
It is the only way this life could be
As I search through all eternity
To find an answer to the conundrum
The reason why mankind remains so numb
It's been a lonely flight along the way
But, celebrations still come every day
Five minutes has become five years, at least
To rend humanity from maw of beast
The simple-minded way in which we live
A barrier to burst, so on I give
Way more than expected at the start
To free the love and open up the heart
