We all have a beast pounding in our chest
It seeks to devour our lives with love
It is an addiction we can’t resist
Granted to us from above
We thirst for the sun within the dark
Forever we hunger for our loves heart
We all have a beast pounding in our chest
It seeks to devour our lives with love
It is an addiction we can’t resist
Granted to us from above
We thirst for the sun within the dark
Forever we hunger for our loves heart
Hands mask tear stained scowl diffusing its sicken glare
The shudder of the hoary clouds are too grim to bear;
Never onceĀ spared a pitied gaze or kind caress
Disoriented as pain beats within its rotten chest;
The new day brings the ring of old shame
A new face cannot hide an ancient name;
Where has time fled amidst our dreadful morn,
Why has death abandoned us with bitter scorn?
Feel The shiver of the sobbing suns pain
Drink the echo of the widowed moons wane;
Never again to rest in hands of theĀ keeper
Never to sleep in the embrace of the reaper.
Hidden with the earths old bones they hide their fangs and claws,
Behind their wall of flesh and tears they fill their bloody maws.
Cloak by blood, shielded in bones they dine on stones from graves
They happily dig into their futures womb in search of holy slaves.
With scarred hands they mined the ore and shaped a mighty shield
Before its colossal might, every attempt of war trembles and yields.
Upon a land gained by will and kept through bloody fists
They dare the world and all its justice to take it from its midst.
Who has destiny chosen to sit upon her throne?
Only fate knows her mind and the rage within her bones.
Drops of rhapsody fell from the azure sky igniting the world,
The whispers of ocean caress the rage of the tempted earth,
Upon the parched sand we march with our bloody fists curled,
Amongst the lustrous forest we slumber in natures hearth.
The day has come and the night is dead,
Let us all stand in twilight’s stead.
Gone again into the wind
Gone again into melody
Gone again into the shimmer
Gone again into the tapestry.
The muse of death slumbers not
The sentry of life rests not
Then why must we falter?
Why must we stumble?
Stand with eternity
Run with infinity
Despair shall we never speak
Lest we be reminded of the dirges peak
Now soar into the storms iris
never to fear life nor death.
Scorched beneath the darkened sun left cracked and dry
Beaten by the starved sands tortured from the tearless sky
Buried by the shattered hopes of an army of broken souls
Bound by chains forged from countless tattered goals
Till a single speck of mist landed on the parched bones
And life was beckoned from the grim and dreary stones
Within the heart of the dusty corpse a grand oasis grew
And now the dreams old have meshed with hopes of new
Through the crimson banks of your veins
you send the liquid venom of your remains.
Deep in your souls streets it eternally rains
And the pain and euphoria leave their stains.
Your mind hungers for the morphine of life
and you are willing to fight with pen or knife
for you have been through peace and strife
and you no longer fear times hungry wife.
So tell me friend what is your muse or affliction
Is it your tool,shame,pride or is it your addiction.
The song of the wind is whispered through the air
And the kiss of the sun warms the land far and near
Celestial tears slowly drop into the hungry ocean
As dark angry storms disrupt its graceful motion
Far far away in lush emerald forests fluttering birds sing
As the sun sets before the shadowy night and its sliver king
The wise feathered elders patiently hoot as they await their prey
And a pack of ravenous wolves stalk silently in their coats of grey
High upon the mountains precious crystals descend upon the peaks
And down below silver fish swim within the brisk and clear creeks
All of nature dwells forever under the old and endless sky
Under the watch of its beautifully shining and lidless eyes.
Flakes of frozen heaven float to the ground
Each one precious and pure like a child’s dream
The wind whistles a song with a somber sound
As it freezes over the mountains clear stream
The people pray for the sun to heat the lands
As the false saints prey on their faith and love
The faithful sacrifice the blood from their hands
As they plead to their loving gods high above
The wolves in the shrine grin with dripping jaws
As the sheep give up their children with naive trust
Each one in their youth bound to lies and false laws
But soon the doors of the temple shall bend and rust
And the snow shall melt and wash away the ancient lies
And the faithful will be kept dry and safe from the diluge
But the thieves and wolves of the cloth shall suffer and die
As the innocent are freed from poverty and their false refuge.
The dust falls into the earth
aiding a new shining birth
silver ashes float on the breeze
and tears of confusion fill the sea
Memories linger eternally in the soul
Creating happy laughter while the thunder rolls
Deep within this spirit your souls song still plays
Never to be forgotten wherever your remnant lays.
