Onenemy

Open-mouth stares fracturing divide
Empty heart bare emotions coincide
Stolen lungs breathe momentary breath
Empty eyes see secondary death

Four cycles moving on
Three dark days and death is gone
Two wishes to fulfill
Only onenemy to kill

Onenemy
Open-mouth stares void of speech and dry
Empty heart bare where many failures lie
Stolen lungs breathe the air of darkest dread
Empty eyes see a life already dead
Claimed by the crippled hand of hate

Four cycles
Three dark days
Two wishes
Onenemy

'What are you doing here?'

Demoralize

Force your opinions on the mind of the young
Feeding poison to hungry souls
Prepare them for their self-destruction
Laughing as you watch them die

Lie to me your lie

Make you own concept of what's right and what's wrong
Feeding poison to hungry souls
Prepare to pay for your destruction
Your day of judgment draws nigh

Demoralize - Converting millions to your lies
Demoralize - Your day of judgment draws nigh

Reflecting your master creator of lies
Sowing disaster disaster you also shall reap

Self Inflict

Regression affliction damaging myself again
Perfection impervious - desolate within

Foundation shift
Self inflict

Regression remission challenging my own reclaim
Incessant resentment no one else to blame

Reasoning drift
Self inflict

Nameless scapegoat - you suffer for my failure
Faceless victim - wearing mask of blame
Useless effort - to escape my humanity
Worthless struggle - to avoid my self inflict

Internal glitch
Self inflict

Rational Lies

Here it is again the voice that scares my thoughts away
Demands attention for itself itself alone
Seems so unthreatening but promises a bitter sting
So soon my heart and mind become the battle zone

Push aside all reason a sailor to the sirens call
Excuse reality for temporary lies
Sometimes I can't believe the things I'll try to justify
Only more lies again

Get out of my head leave me alone
You're no longer welcome here
A voice so sweet with words that kill
A wicked whisper in my ear

In my time of weakness is when I see your strength displayed
Screaming silently tickling my ear
Lie - I know who you really are
And I see your hatred masked behind your smile

O wretched man so failure prone
Who will deliver me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but can I see?

Nightfall

Deep in the darkness without form and void
The Hovering spirit of God
Man given life soon only to die
Fallen by deception

Dwell in the confines of mortality
Gripping the hand of despair
Children of dust blown by winds of distress
To uncharted future stare

Again the night falls to darken our dawn
Silence our lips seek refuge from harm again
Children of trial offspring of pain
Wounds of existence leaves scars that remain
Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky
For those who would choose to receive

Chains of oppression shackles of fear
Forever broken for those who draw near
From storm to shelter from darkness to light
Wings cast a shadow a haven from falling night

'Where are we going? Into your imagination.' -Drop Dead Fred

'Freeze!  Don't Move!' -Return of the Jedi

Twisted Reality

World of illusion living a lie
Spiritual blindness no sight from your eyes
Wisdom of ancients Distrubed from her sleep
Returning with vengeance deceiving the week

Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Emptiness becomes the trail of life for those deceived

Spirits of guidance massive disguise
Seek your destruction consumed in their lies
Carefully brainwashed decisive decide
Of him who controls you possesses your mind

Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Hopelessness becomes the trail of life for those to see

Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Misery becomes the trail of death for those to see

Age of illusion processed untruth
Cosmic attraction a synthetic spoof
Reality twisted to fit your design
As Hell claims its victim now your mine

Consequence

Oh hound of heaven hear my cry
Remorse for things that I have justified
My life's a book who's pages are well read
Of actions good and evil and thoughts inside my head

Sincerity - passing time will testify
Between intention and what will really be
For every idle word released accountable responsible
For each and every deed small as it my seem
Immortality - There is a price that must be paid
Indispensible laws that cannot be disobeyed
Circumstancial gravity weight of great vitality
Warning to us all be aware

In darkness a secret shines a light
Where eyes of truth an knowledge have their sight
Your life's a book who's pages are well read
Of actions good and evil and thoughts inside your head

Eventually - The winds of judgment will bestirred
A throne of white the book of life referred
See death and hell give up their dead
As the books are being read
A record of each life speaks for itself

You cannot ignore God's word without one day suffering eternal consequences


(samples)

'Everything we do matters.'

Dissolved

There exists no dream worth chasing
If it cannot satisfy
There exists no god worth serving
If he cannot hear your cries

Dig your claws into the earth
Struggle to attain
Holding on for all your worth
To what death will strip away

Your wealth your pride dissolves in time
Reduced to dust your worthless treasures rust

A camel through a needles eye
For greed express no shame
You own no wealth that will provide
Salvation from hells flames

'I have a bad feeling about this.'
-The Empire Strikes Back

'You never really understand a person
until you consider things from his point of view.
if you climb into his skin and walk around in it.'
-To Kill a Mockingbird

'Let's dance!'

Nothing Sacred

Tear the holy to the ground no remorse no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong neither do you care
Interchange of truth and lie trading life or death
Contamination of the pure and those you influence

Nothing Sacred

Tear the holy to the ground no remorse no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong neither do you care
Corrupting what's been sanctified morality enslaved
Adding to the road to hell that with which the path is paved

Skilled at stories and lies
Spill unholy light
Won't heed the warning cries
See you they betray

Tear the holy to the ground no remorse no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong neither do you care
Break apart the sacred vows mock the holy law
Judgement's hammer soon will fall as never fell before

Open mouth does speak - talking for me
Empty heart does beat - pounding for me
Stolen lungs do breathe - breathing for me

Broken body falls - worshipping me

Bed of Nails

Dancing with Medusa
I have taken flight
A bed of nails my comfort
