Blackened

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend Never

Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world Blackened

Blistering of Earth
Terminate it's worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Brearthing nevermore

Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world Blackened Blackened!

Opposition contradiction premonition compromise
Agitation violation mutilation planet dies
Darkest color blistered earth
True death of life
Termination expiration cancellation human race
Expectation liberation population lay to waste
See our mother put to death
See our mother die

Smoldering decay
Take your breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world Blackened
Blackened!


...And Justice for All

Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't the believe the price
You pay nothing can save you

Just is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't the price
You pay nothing can save you

Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real

Lady justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
Cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price
We pay nothing can save us

Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real


Eye of the Beholder

Do you see what I see? Truth is an offense
Your silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination keep you where they must
Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?
Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside to each his own
Do you trust what I trust?
Me myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen I see through the selfish lie

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear your self
Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence lengthen freedom's ring

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees you
Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say


One

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live I cannot die
Trapped in myself body my holding cell

Land mine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms taken my legs
Taken my soul left me with life in hell


The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
With dignity to shame dishonor
Witchhunt modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying commonplace
Unenjding paper chase unending
Deafening painstaking reckoning this vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw challenge liberty
Downed by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw the shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you the shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination why?
You inner self to die intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
Its teeth and talons through
Your living catch-22 deluding
A mass hysteria a megalomania reveal dementia reveal
Secretly silently certainly in vertigo you will be

Shortest straw challenge liberty
Downed by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw the shortest starw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you the shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you hands are tied
You're being ostracized
Your hell is multiplied upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none to nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear defending
Channels red one word said blacklisted with vertigo make you dead

Shorttest starw challenge liberty
Down by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw the shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you


Harvester of Sorrow

My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
L've loved turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate
I give you take this life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth you turned this lie to truth

Anger misery you'l suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

Pue black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Getr back what used to be
Drink up shoot in let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain your los becomes my gain

Anger misery you'll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You'll see where murder lies infantacide

Harvester of sorrow


Frayed Ends of Sanity

Never hunger never porsper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror death and much more
I'm a slave of fear my captor
Never warnings spreading its wings
As I wait for for the horror she brings

Loss of interest question wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Hrowing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into ruin I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height hell time haste terror tension
Life death want waste mass depression

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me


To Live Is to Die

When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness anymore
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home


Dyer's Eve

Dear mother dear father
What is this hell you have put me through
Believer deiver
Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed on me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life
Dear mother dear father
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator dictator
Always sensoring my every every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

Innocence torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality I'm living blindly

Dear mother dear father
Time has frozen still what's left to be
Hear nothing say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee it's life as is
But famn you for not giving me a chance
Dear mother dear father
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Doas I say not as I do

Innocence torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality I'm living blindly

I'm in hell without you
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world That I see
Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear mother dear father
Hidden in your world you made for me
I'm seething I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew
