The Harder They Fall
by Michael Doyle

The harder they fall
Either side of the law
It's the repeat and call
In the nature of it all

Sins of the fathers grow
In a deeper shade of shadow
Darker than the blackest black
It's righteousness they lack

Two sides of the same coin
Yet, together these join
To form the function of the whole
Hoping to bring healing to the soul

It's some kind of wonder
Lived out in unending blunder
That brings us to the truth
However much it might be uncouth

There's no spell to fall under
No lightening without thunder
And at end of every night
There will be safety in the light
