how you roll, tortured soul
radiant hope beaming proud
concealing ominous clouds
a yearning uncontrolled

how you roll, tortured soul
a kind and gentle spirit
a future more disparate
paying a heavy toll

how you roll, tortured soul
through the shadow of night
worn down and torn down by fright
a promise to be bold

how you roll, tortured soul
knowing you’ll never see peace
till your pain and struggle cease
not a chance to grow old

how you roll, tortured soul
toward your fateful end
longing for signs of a friend
all alone in the cold

how you roll, tortured soul
comforted by words of prose
as your time draws to a close
sound the final drum roll

how you roll, tortured soul
to a peaceful place beyond
leaving memories so fond
many left to console
