lyrics

The Taken

Some are meant to be fountains, some are meant to be drains;
some will share their fortunes, others amass their gains.
Some will give their all with no thought of recompense
as the callous will assess how to profit at another’s expense.
And the takers they will take and take without end,
as the taken are taken and taken again.

Some will walk their lifes with a shining light of trust inside
as some are meant to bleed that light, never to be satisfied.
The gentle soul will bestow all they have without purse or plan,
to others in the guise of a friend that will take everything they can.
And the takers will take and take without end,
as the taken are taken and taken again.

Some, over time, having taken advantage for so long,
so lost in their own desperate needs,
they can’t see anymore what they’re doing is wrong.

The taken; they're easy to find, as in darkness; their light shines free.
In a willingness to be used, they’re perceived as pathetic and weak.
But their hope is to help, any and all who have fallen in need.
Making a difference within their own special belief.

And the takers will take and they'll take towards their end
as the taken are taken and taken again.
And the takers they'll just take and continue taking without end,
from the taken who are taken and taken again.
