Repeat Offender
Pessimistic fool by nature or so it seems
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender

The Effects Of Words
Trying on some different words tonight
Searching for some forgotten intangible
Combinations grow crucial in this fight
A stiff uppercut snaps a glass mandible
Showing off with big words gets boring
It often comes off shallow and pedantic
There are a lot of rules I end up ignoring
File all my work under hopeless romantic
Sometimes I’m quite fond of juicy words
Sexy, seductive, always along for the ride
Lustful breadcrumbs attracts all the birds
Rocking back and forth with a gentle tide

Buried With The Dead
Not even trying to conceal their behavior
Spreading deceit right in front of our eyes
Claiming the title of some pseudo savior
Arrogance is born from these ruthless lies
Pathetic old man clinging to spiteful ways
Entitlement provides a lust for holding power
Monsters remain loyal by killing off the strays
Watching it all go down from his ivory tower
Rats infest this land that once housed the free
Memories are painted in needless bloodshed
Liberty hangs lifeless from some forgotten tree
Seems all hope has been buried with the...

Judgement Day
There’s a strange reflection in the mirror
Something’s different about the atmosphere
An awkward moment becomes much clearer
When guilt is tangled with alcohol and fear
Constantly obsessing over every last detail
Nightmares lurking inside a common thread
This icy eeriness rings within a guitar scale
Amidst the silence live the words never said
Confessions are admissions of mistakes made
Forgiveness is the long and winding highway
Though I’m praying for the light to never fade
Broken promises will cloud my Judgement Day
Something’s different about the atmosphere
An awkward moment becomes much clearer
When guilt is tangled with alcohol and fear
Constantly obsessing over every last detail
Nightmares lurking inside a common thread
This icy eeriness rings within a guitar scale
Amidst the silence live the words never said
Confessions are admissions of mistakes made
Forgiveness is the long and winding highway
Though I’m praying for the light to never fade
Broken promises will cloud my Judgement Day

Free Falling
Bowing to the father of lies
In barren fields among the dead
No matter the mask or disguise
He’s living rent free in your head
Drowning beneath the tide
Shadows speak in mystic tongues
Lost within madness you confide
Evil spirts filling up cursed lungs
Fading further from the light
All hope was abandoned for power
Wisdom blinded by lack of sight
Forbidden love slowly starts to sour
Until judgement one day comes calling
And from the kingdom forever free falling
In barren fields among the dead
No matter the mask or disguise
He’s living rent free in your head
Drowning beneath the tide
Shadows speak in mystic tongues
Lost within madness you confide
Evil spirts filling up cursed lungs
Fading further from the light
All hope was abandoned for power
Wisdom blinded by lack of sight
Forbidden love slowly starts to sour
Until judgement one day comes calling
And from the kingdom forever free falling

So Many Concerns
Made a lane change in the argument
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns

Risking Elimination
Falling victim to such a subtle threat
Caught in another downward spiral
Injustice bankrupts a soul with debt
Watching as the situation goes viral
Smiling beneath this fractured mask
While trying to save face among peers
Seems this ego has been taken to task
Growing claustrophobic in holding fears
Withering inside from a lack of identity
Washed away in this constant torment
Finding stability within a cult like entity
Suppressing love in a heart so dormant
Sleeping with desires often manipulated
Unable to...

The Duel
Shattered in fragments of despair
Bleeding out amidst the negativity
Dark figure returns an empty stare
Spending precious time in captivity
Kindred spirts begin a verbal spar
Debating over this faint existence
Always picking at the freshest scar
Within a form of subtle persistence
Course words snarl in spite
Matching wits for this soul
Claiming my own birthright
In a lifelong duel for control
Bleeding out amidst the negativity
Dark figure returns an empty stare
Spending precious time in captivity
Kindred spirts begin a verbal spar
Debating over this faint existence
Always picking at the freshest scar
Within a form of subtle persistence
Course words snarl in spite
Matching wits for this soul
Claiming my own birthright
In a lifelong duel for control

Backstage (Black Sabbath)
Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights band has a very interesting story on writing a song that far exceeded expectations of what it’s initial purpose was. I’m talking about Britain’s own, Black Sabbath.
Often credited as one of the forefathers of Heavy Metal along with Led Zeppelin. They’ve inspired many a metal band. The group formed in 1968, once going by the name, Earth. I think they made the right choice changing the name.
The original lineup consisted of: Ozzy Osbourne - Vocals, Tony Iommi - Guitar, Geezer Butler - Bass, and Bill Ward...

Down The Avenue
Systematic hurt taunts the soul
Leaves a good man feeling blue
Unable to feel completely whole
Without hope nothing seems true
Soft ballads whisper through walls
Insanity lurks behind seductive eyes
Distorted people walk narrow halls
Not knowing what waits in disguise
Painting lies with a suggestive brush
It’s how some folks make their living
Thinking about some long lost crush
While spreading a seed of misgiving
It all relates to your point of view
What awaits you down the avenue
Leaves a good man feeling blue
Unable to feel completely whole
Without hope nothing seems true
Soft ballads whisper through walls
Insanity lurks behind seductive eyes
Distorted people walk narrow halls
Not knowing what waits in disguise
Painting lies with a suggestive brush
It’s how some folks make their living
Thinking about some long lost crush
While spreading a seed of misgiving
It all relates to your point of view
What awaits you down the avenue

Snowy Days
She can snare you with a gleam in her eye
Dead before you even hit the floor
Serpents scream while angels begin to cry
Tangled in the web of wanting more
Empty heart so cold like a November rain
Feel the ache growing in your bones
Through sultry pleasure revealing her pain
Pins and needles, sticks and stones
Red-headed beauty with a temper to match
Closing the door hearing the lock latch
She keeps you intoxicated with a sexy smile
Losing your balance now free-falling
Black cat moaning under moonlight’s guile ...
Dead before you even hit the floor
Serpents scream while angels begin to cry
Tangled in the web of wanting more
Empty heart so cold like a November rain
Feel the ache growing in your bones
Through sultry pleasure revealing her pain
Pins and needles, sticks and stones
Red-headed beauty with a temper to match
Closing the door hearing the lock latch
She keeps you intoxicated with a sexy smile
Losing your balance now free-falling
Black cat moaning under moonlight’s guile ...

Perpetual Motion
Everyday people are tagged like cattle
Power junkies pimping some new war
Calloused souls are preparing for battle
Protecting the rich by sending the poor
Certain death chases life in perpetual motion
Never needing to kill unless it gets the notion
Power junkies pimping some new war
Calloused souls are preparing for battle
Protecting the rich by sending the poor
Certain death chases life in perpetual motion
