Not Even A Memory
The tongues of fire
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…

The Rhythms of War ...
Our leaders tell us war can be avoided,
but the past says different,
these leaders say wisdom will guide trembling hands, but where was this guidance previously?
hovering over the nuclear switch,
While the weight of our history presses heavy against the future,
a script we've read before,
tattered and frayed at the edges, blood-stained in the middle,
lives lost without pause.
These mighty Empires begin to fall and decline not with dignity,
but with the echoes and shouts of the desperate,
As they clutch at the last fragments of their...

There's No WINNER In The End !!!
So as we are one & trained, thinking alike these GOD'S we did not claim, are now warrior's to reign. Euchre is the card game to deceive as mischief never follows to receive. Stymie structure arranged for their enemy to be framed, encase of symptoms of their ruled container to remain. A warfare of oddities of to many. I stolely bow & knell down...But my sword I fought in your war of selfish rules...I couldn't live with myself with your laws of wrong doings
For once in my nobody life, beyond wisdom I tried to show you ingredients of past lives I carried to help the world as one...

Wartime Love
In an apartment shuttered in darkness,
Tangled bedsheets stained with love,
Hold the written record of tongues
Speaking in flesh.
Tongues that know well
Of their approaching deaths,
But even on a night filled with distant bombs,
They fall sweaty apart with a sated sigh.
Tangled bedsheets stained with love,
Hold the written record of tongues
Speaking in flesh.
Tongues that know well
Of their approaching deaths,
But even on a night filled with distant bombs,
They fall sweaty apart with a sated sigh.

Acidic Flash
Inside all war there lies conspiracy
There's nothing to believe but lies
Raging fires on the innocent
While the dead watch from the skies
They take the blind man to the killing field
To play in someone else's game
Let the lesser lands be torn apart
And bring them here to bear the shame
Acidic Flash
Burns my eyes
Acidic Flash
Buried Alive
Severed spirits hanging in the wind
Tear the truth apart from lies
A sordid effigy of past mistakes
Their heroism lost in time
They send...
There's nothing to believe but lies
Raging fires on the innocent
While the dead watch from the skies
They take the blind man to the killing field
To play in someone else's game

Acidic Flash

Despair
The rain fell hard, it cleansed our eyes,
But left us staring at the lies.
The skies burned red, but fire we saw,
Each dawn became another fall.
Through frozen hearts and weary bones,
We wandered, lost, with bloodied tones.
Our hands now scarred, we face our fate
Freedom, came too late.
But left us staring at the lies.
The skies burned red, but fire we saw,
Each dawn became another fall.
Through frozen hearts and weary bones,
We wandered, lost, with bloodied tones.
Our hands now scarred, we face our fate
Freedom, came too late.

Thor`s legacy
Nordic God,Thor the hammer bore
justifed by those that needed more
destruction and such bloody gore
warmongers laughed, a along gaffaw

Little Nicholas (Mykola)
Little Nicholas (Mykola)
Little boy came right onto the court and
Asked if he could play some bball
Said his name was Mykola
He asked where I’m from and I said around
The corner was my home
Little boy from a far away land
Came right up to us and
His innocence could not be denied
Said his name was Nicholas from
The Ukraine
So we played a game till seven
Said he’s in school in the USA
With his little sister about 5 1/2
Stayin at his grandma’s with Momma
While Daddy’s back at home...

Blood In The Loch, Freedom Flowing Fjord
By loch and glen, the shadows grow
The heather drinks the twilight’s glow
With Robert’s men, we ride as one
Beneath the moon, behind the sun
The confessor marches with blades of steel
Their boots do crush the Highland’s keel
But o’er the fjord, the echoes ring
With battle songs we proudly sing
Through mist and stone, our paths are made
The sword our guide, the bow our trade
The stag does leap, the raven cries
And freedom lights the coldest skies
We strike by night, a shadow’s blade
In Bruce’s name, the price is...
The heather drinks the twilight’s glow
With Robert’s men, we ride as one
Beneath the moon, behind the sun
The confessor marches with blades of steel
Their boots do crush the Highland’s keel
But o’er the fjord, the echoes ring
With battle songs we proudly sing
Through mist and stone, our paths are made
The sword our guide, the bow our trade
The stag does leap, the raven cries
And freedom lights the coldest skies
We strike by night, a shadow’s blade
In Bruce’s name, the price is...
