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
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...

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

Cuz no one wants to be your slave

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...

Epitaph for the Rift between Brothers
Here, in dust-choked ruins where vendettas
once soaked stone, where morning's light
bore fears and destruction instead of joy,
let children now rise to the hum of birds singing and happiness, not rockets’ hiss, to the hush of dawn instead of alarm of bombs and the cries of the injured and those who have lost,
May peace breathe its gentle hymn, tentative as first light, its breath a salve, its gift unspent and a blessing on humanity and all that reach for it ,
Let steel shrapnel shatter in the earth’s quiet bows , and landmines sleep,...

The Holy Land ...
A land soaked in red,
innocence lost to the storm,
peace choked by the blind.
Beneath this scorched sky,
young blood seeps into dry earth,
grief roots like a wild thorn.
Fears creep, voices fade,
swept by the biting winds' call,
hope turn drifting dust.
Who's right, who's wrong—will
that matter much when all's gone?
Just silence screams left.
innocence lost to the storm,
peace choked by the blind.
Beneath this scorched sky,
young blood seeps into dry earth,
grief roots like a wild thorn.
Fears creep, voices fade,
swept by the biting winds' call,
hope turn drifting dust.
Who's right, who's wrong—will
that matter much when all's gone?
Just silence screams left.

Remember, Remember
Bonfire Night is an ironic thing
at 400 years after the event
where a Gunpowder Plot had killed no king
and sabotage became Guido's lament
as the people had made it very clear
that a disruption to the status quo
based on violence and subsequent fear
wasn't the most discerning way to go
to carry heretofore the common law;
be the ancient regimes hip, hip, hooray,
or establishments of indolent blah
countermanding even a sunny day...
since rare indeed is the revolution
that fairly treats the wealth distribution!

Gun Smoke and Sabre's Shine
Half a league, half a league
Half a league onward
Into the smoke and flame
Marched the Six Hundred
"Forward, my Guard!" he said
With sun on each bayonet
On through the mist they sped
Led by Napoleon
Stormed at by shot and shell
Rising where heroes fell
Into the jaws of hell
Charged his Grand Army
Onward they surged as one
Flanking the morning sun
Russian and Austrian line
Crumbling beneath them
Boldly they charged ahead
Steel met with fire and lead
Grim on the frozen plain ...
