"Janus"

Mx. Mac Joed Pamintuan

(BSE-ENG 2B)

Well, you think I'll leave that fast?

Those words won't be my last

You think I leave it all in my past?

You'll hear from me until my last

You will hear me in my silence

As you heard me in my screams

Endless of prayers and sacrifices

To be free from your numinous sanctity

Now I sound like a beggar begging to be

Heard by the God of the gateways

Beseeching in my million prayers

To be departed on your maze of grays

Starving to taste the forbidden freedom

Running in your labyrinth as I lost my breath

Desperation to escape with trace of thiefdom

That I will steal it even if it costs my death

In screeching sounds of endless torment

Oh, God Janus! Please, hear my prayers!

Send me out from these heavy nights

Let my heart stop and these endless fights

Please, hear my prayers...
