It's been a very, very long time since I posted here last.
A lot has been on my mind lately, and it makes me think of this Dio song:
Straight Through The Heart
Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind,
It looks like a long, long way to fall.
No one ever told me life was kind;
I guess I never heard it, never heard it all.
Living in a world of make believe,
I can hide behind what's real;
But wearing your emotions on your sleeve...
And they all know what you feel.
And here it comes again...
Straight through the heart,
Straight through the heart.
Oh, never tell a secret with your eyes,
It's the eyes that let you down.
Tell a little truth with many lies...
It's the only way I've found.
Oh here it comes again...
Straight through the heart,
Straight through the heart.
Shout to the wind...
How can you hurt me this way?
Oh once it begins...
It looks like it's coming to stay.
Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind,
It looks like a long, long way to fall.
No one ever told me life was kind,
I guess I never heard it, never heard it all, no!
But here it comes again..
Straight through the heart,
Straight through the heart,
Straight through the heart.
Here it comes again...
Straight through the heart,
In the middle of the heart!
Now don't stand still, they'll get you;
Right through your heart.
And here it comes, here it comes again
Straight through the heart.

Welcome back, @Chanak. Glad to see your presence, once again.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
