absence of irony

some miss the certainty of solid steel
and do not trust because they cannot care
since all the world dissolves to empty air

you blame this on the turning of the wheel
while thinking that life never is quite fair
some miss the certainties of solid steel

the choice is made to die or else to kneel
no one expects that you would ever dare
go past the limits of what we both share
some miss the certainty of solid steel
