Just a dream
I've spent eternity
Just beyond your reach
Hanging on the seduction
Of every word that you speak
Slow motion glance
And the closing of your eyes
Is the suns glowing view
Through a radiant sky
I could hold you in my arms
And sense your every thought
Knowing that your presence
Was everything I sought
But to me your just a dream
That will never come to be
An unachievable treasure
For which I have no key
Just beyond your reach
Hanging on the seduction
Of every word that you speak
Slow motion glance
And the closing of your eyes
Is the suns glowing view
Through a radiant sky
I could hold you in my arms
And sense your every thought
Knowing that your presence
Was everything I sought
But to me your just a dream
That will never come to be
An unachievable treasure
For which I have no key

To fade away
To fade away
I choose not
Where is grace and dignity
When man becomes brittle
Creaking and moaning
With every move
Mind shot
No memory of the past
No hope for the future
Except the gleaming brillance
Of drawing his last breath
Strangers surround
A suffocating room
Yet dependent
On their every move
Death is a welcome dinner guest
That never seems to attend
And this so called life
Overstays its welcome
This life was over long ago
A ghostly spectre now roams ...
I choose not
Where is grace and dignity
When man becomes brittle
Creaking and moaning
With every move
Mind shot
No memory of the past
No hope for the future
Except the gleaming brillance
Of drawing his last breath
Strangers surround
A suffocating room
Yet dependent
On their every move
Death is a welcome dinner guest
That never seems to attend
And this so called life
Overstays its welcome
This life was over long ago
A ghostly spectre now roams ...

High life
My wife went away
The devil came to stay
I'm livin' the high life again
Down in the gutter
Just pass me another
I'm livin' the high life again
It's all up from here
Ain't got no cares
I laid it all bare
In my shrinks chair
My biggest fear
Is running out of beer
Gone are the days
Of thinking clear
No white picket fence
I can barely pay rent
But I'm on top of the world
Without that naggin' girl
I'm livin' the high life again
The devil came to stay
I'm livin' the high life again
Down in the gutter
Just pass me another
I'm livin' the high life again
It's all up from here
Ain't got no cares
I laid it all bare
In my shrinks chair
My biggest fear
Is running out of beer
Gone are the days
Of thinking clear
No white picket fence
I can barely pay rent
But I'm on top of the world
Without that naggin' girl
I'm livin' the high life again

Letter
I'm writing you this letter
To see if you feel better
I know when you left
We weren't seeing eye to eye
I hope that you are happy
And spend your hours laughing
Yes, i know it's true
That you found another guy
Talking
To myself
Think I
Need some help
Lonliness
Left a stinging welp
Across my broken heart
Me, I'm doing fine
Just wasting all my time
Missing your sweet voice
I wish you'd never said goodbye
One day I shall have you
But you won't have a clue ...
To see if you feel better
I know when you left
We weren't seeing eye to eye
I hope that you are happy
And spend your hours laughing
Yes, i know it's true
That you found another guy
Talking

Think I
Need some help
Lonliness
Left a stinging welp
Across my broken heart
Me, I'm doing fine
Just wasting all my time
Missing your sweet voice
I wish you'd never said goodbye
One day I shall have you
But you won't have a clue ...

Carry on
I wake my eyes
To a newborn day
Wonder if it'll be the same
As yesterday
Will the rain come
Pouring down
Or will the sun
Peak through the clouds
And ease my pain
Well I don't know
What tomorrow brings
Perhaps I might just
Earn my wings
For Heavens gate
And I'll say...
You are my sunshine
You are my shield
You helped me live
In this world
When I didn't think
I could go on
The shadows got
My mind again
You remind me of a joke
And they go away ...
To a newborn day
Wonder if it'll be the same
As yesterday
Will the rain come
Pouring down
Or will the sun
Peak through the clouds
And ease my pain
Well I don't know
What tomorrow brings
Perhaps I might just
Earn my wings
For Heavens gate
And I'll say...
You are my sunshine
You are my shield
You helped me live
In this world
When I didn't think
I could go on
The shadows got
My mind again
You remind me of a joke
And they go away ...

Lost in ashes
Night arrives
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes

Rest in pieces
Lights growing dim
Fading away
Slipped off the path
Lost my way
Sliding
Losing my grip
Drowning in quicksand
Up to my ribs
Heart slowing down
Pushed too hard
It's broken now
Think its falling apart
Just let me be
Tired of fighting myself
Ready to give up
No need to call help
Show is over
No curtain calls
Remember me
Before the fall
Don't blame yourself
You're not the reason
Just move on with your life
Let me rest in pieces
Fading away
Slipped off the path
Lost my way
Sliding
Losing my grip
Drowning in quicksand
Up to my ribs
Heart slowing down
Pushed too hard
It's broken now
Think its falling apart
Just let me be
Tired of fighting myself
Ready to give up
No need to call help
Show is over
No curtain calls
Remember me
Before the fall
Don't blame yourself
You're not the reason
Just move on with your life
Let me rest in pieces

Exorcism
Rain drops fall softly
Against hot asphalt
In the small town
Quickly intensifying
Patrons of main street shops
Scramble for cover
Under weathered awnings
Of century old buildings
Steam rises
Expelling all the pent up
Energy of the day
An exorcism for the heart of the city
Against hot asphalt
In the small town
Quickly intensifying
Patrons of main street shops
Scramble for cover
Under weathered awnings
Of century old buildings
Steam rises
Expelling all the pent up
Energy of the day
An exorcism for the heart of the city

The seekers
Into the soul of darkness
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...

Unbiased Media
Whatever happened to
Unbiased media
Ch 48 tells me one story
Ch 32 tells the same
From a different angle
Their hidden agendas
Show like puss filled wounds
Trying to program the masses
Into some far left or far right
Robot soldiers of war
Pitting brothers against one another
They think we lack the capacity
To distiguish truth from lies
But the more they try
To feed their baby birds
The greater the chance of asphixiation
On their own vomit
...

Think
Flashing brillance
Frozen in time
Playing roulette
With media lies
Don't take truth for granted
Open all doors
Push revolution from
Subconcious to the fore
Freedom is waiting
Dare to ask why
Spread your glorious wings
And take to the skies
Frozen in time
Playing roulette
With media lies
Don't take truth for granted
Open all doors
Push revolution from
Subconcious to the fore
Freedom is waiting
Dare to ask why
Spread your glorious wings
And take to the skies

Hell on Earth
Blood runs cold
In the warm summer ground
As newborn angels rise
And float away
In the gentle Texas breeze
Death came to soon
An uninvited guest
Cruelly abducting our children
Stifling their dreams of the future
Now mothers and fathers
Will hold onto memories of the past
And our nation will ask why
While politicians play their chess game
In the media
EVIL cast its shadow
Uprooting peace
And destroying innocence
Leaving death, destruction and mourning
In its wake
...
