An Ode To Life’s Failure

Fighting this battle in fields of dying grey
Life is beautiful when you die young
Living for ages bitters feeling
There is no return at the end of today

The reaper calls me to his death blade
Sweeping my fear and grief away
When I cross my heart and die
Freedom will be mine

No more bridges to burn
No more lines to cross
No more hearts to break
No more lies to take

Believe in me, the wisdom of thought
There’s more to this world than we see
Dying in boredom of everyday lives
What the fuck are we living for?

It’s time to rip the world apart
Burn in self righteous flames the lies
Every second another dies
A true hero he never dies

Why do we wash away years in tears?
When we shouldn’t be crying
Why do we spend our lives in fear?
When all we have is here?

Did you really think you’d see through me?
I am a child of the rebellion
And I’ll fight till I bleed
Think you can lay my dominions

When everything’s wrecked and fucked
You’ll remember me when your time’s out
Motherfucker Life, see me at your funeral
Your pyres will lick the wounded skies

Do you really think you can overcome?
Beware for death stalks greater worlds
Worlds you cannot behold
Graves you cannot bleed

You preach to me humanity
Look at those mothers killing their daughters
Look at those fathers murdering their sons
All we have is freedom wrought in chains

Come let me be your dying wish
Forevermore you’ll wish you’d never met me
Killing time in fields of pain
You’ll wish you were never born

You play your tricks and your tirades
Are designed to blacken my eyes
Have you not seen me insane?
I am the eyes of the insane

You cannot beat me at this game
You’ll try and you’ll win some
But the battle rages on
Crawling your way into this life torn

There’s no hope for you when we are resilient
Like the golden stallion
We’ll come of the rebellion
Drive through your hearts the stakes you made for us

Children of the rebellion I lead them onward
The battlefields of evermore
Spit your hatred
I’ll stick it back in your head

I am the one you were warned of
And I’m bringing rebellion with me
Tonight is your graven kiss
Death, you will not miss

When everything’s wrecked and fucked
You’ll remember me when your time’s out
Motherfucker Life, see me at your funeral
Your pyres will lick the wounded skies

I. Madman

Those that let me down
And I’m left wearing the crown of thorns
Left bleeding in the night
To face this world alone

In the deepest pain
I have learnt to crawl in the pouring rain
Impaled on your words, my heart lies bleeding
Insanity is growing

Their thoughtless acts kills
The path before me lies
The pattern buried in dark skies
Peace sells, but who buys?

Yesterdays are gone forever
Today is born another hell
Am I jester born to live
Or jester born to toll the final bell?

I am here, insanity my best friend
The marriage of madness and reality
By the pricking of my thumb
Something wicked this way comesWhere do you live
In burrows of sorrow or in crowns of gold?
Those who have gone before
And sleep with Babylon’s whore

I will remember those who let me down
This day, when the world went away
And was born the madman inside
The day, when the world went away

Die for something spurs this grave
Another human heart will I save?
Buried deep within lies the stone
Untouched, unfinished and alone

Lust

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
Coming across the brow
Down on her knees
Preying on the monster

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
Scenting fresh flesh
Licking her lips in anticipation
Of the coming rush

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
Behind the willow tree
She etches her initials into the bark
She kills worldly senses can’t you see

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
Everything around turns to grey
Twirling her wicked lips in lust
Submit to her wandering tongue I must

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
Like an animal ripping bones
Wrapped tight around me she gives
The flickering tongue, the serpent lives

Deranging senses when she eats
Dripping, gleaming white across her face
Spread eagled to the bark
Come to me she squeals in the dark

Oooh! Yeah I need her now
I need a dirty woman
I need a dirty girl
Turning muscle hard as pearl

In The Name of God

Am I here to wash in the sins of humans
Am I here to find a way out
I am told that religion is the answer to doubt
Religion has a lot to pay for

So many die today in quest
Leaving behind a life of pain
Waking to their last breath
Will their souls ever rest?

In search of the perfect god
We go to the ends of the earth
But what do we find
But mistakes that ride the wind

Holy wars and clan killings
In the name of god and tragedy
Who pays the final score
None but the world’s poor

Do you know what life is
Do you know what love is
Do you know what war is
Tell me then, why we love to fight wars to live a life for nothing?

Every day brings more pain and misery
Bullets and guts spilt in the mud
We’ll turn in our graves
And we’ll wipe out our own history

In the name of god we murder sense
Slaying the unbeliever
Mutilating the innocent
Will we ever have repentance?

We search for our brothers in the sandTheir bones scattered across the sandTheir spirits call to us beyond the winds
Distant, another war begins
Humanity will never learn
We still count those unborn
Amongst the bodies of the dead
And fire another bullet into a heart torn

Tell me why in the name of god we go
In rage and blasphemy
This world is left to an end
Unless we can now rewrite our story

The Thorns of Roses

Does sadness have a name?
Or is it born within
A fleeting glimpse of all that was
Mind and heart broken by endless wars

The path is riddled with thorns
Illumination impales itself on roses
Every twist in the road of life
Breaks a strand and warms a strife

When a thousand hands held you high
And walked beside you in wonder
Only to breathe the flames of a deadly lie
With you for the last breath they’d vie

If fate is what takes you forward
And destiny is reaching land’s end
How much less a human being
When hatred is what you’re spawning

If all promises were meant to be
Happiness is what you’d see
As the tides of life ebb away
Stand as warriors in the soul’s gateway

Ahead lies a road seldom taken
A chance to realize a golden dream
So much that lies unforgotten
So much that dies unforgiven

Memories sting the palms of faith
Visions of my ghostly spirit
When words are said that make you believe
But the knife of betrayal is what you receive

Life’s elixir is stirred in the cauldron of truth
Stirred by the emotions of a soul
Is all lost that you for fought?
Thoughts last me my dying moments I fraught.

Is everything an illusion?
Is the mirror of life unbroken glass?
Is the reflection of man god?
Is this the way life should pass?

In The Heart Of Stone

The sufferer walks in silence
Amidst the petals of dead roses
His heart torn by the violence
Of a hundred supposes.

When love walks out
In a world torn by the gun
The final whistle will shout
Even before the race is won.

When the shapes of tomorrow fade
Into mists of deathly grey
Will the happiness once had you trade
With one word of love she may say?

The vision of her lies upon a bleeding rock
Like a prisoner at the gallows pole
A hope that his ship will today dock
In the harbour of her soul.

In the starlit sky, meteors fire
Across the galaxies of broken dreams
Cut through the heart a cathedral spire
Not a glimmer of hope gleams.

The storm rages empty
Not its rage not its power
Can touch the heart of the loved deity
And death comes swiftly on the silent tower.

Purgatory

Another time another place
Vast emptiness stretches far and wide
Seems like I've been here before
Sinned against the holy face

The dying penitent
Reflect the moments of wrong
Closed in by walls of temper
The Lord's name in vain

I've still got a long way to go
But I've been here before
Before the papal judge
Believed in the antichrist

My body leaves my soul
Unholy trinity comes to save
Born of a sinner
Is not my mind corrupted

No more lies in the sand
Of time, no more truth
In the walls of a holy scripture
Burdened and burnt lies faith

Punishment most extreme
Physical torture kills the mind
Immortal is the mind
If a sinner can be saved

Is sin a sin
Or preached as one
What then is a good
When all good is a sin

Memories locked away in time
Save the rot from eternal hell
Communion for the world to be blessed
Lying in a chamber of death

I clutch at straws
Illusions of a diluted prophet
Preaching a word of sin
Follow him to depths of hell

Served my time in this prison
Walls of ice and stone
Burnt at the stake is all faith
Purgatory is my rebate.
