Dying for Life
Sorcerer, blind me with your eyes Deny me, cast me aside Mine is vengeance, now I see Unleash the killer within me Dark clouds come rolling in My mind is scarred with your sin Show me what your tarot holds Your ending now unfolds Look what your future holds for you Do what the demons tell me to do Extinguish all power to be free Remove the shadow cast over me See the moon turning black For me there is no turning back No magic left to succumb My final quest has begun Tomorrow seems eternally still To the years that pass me by I've seen visions of my past life And the wreckage left behind Now I stare lost into the mirror Tearing questions from my mind No one is there for me to turn to My hands held up to the sky Asylum my only friend The night turns without end No tears left to cry I am a soul of ice

Random acts of cruelty Victims lying in the wake Friend or foe it makes no difference You are always on the take Act without reason, the choice you have made Thinking only of yourself You take chances without regard Clueless of the cards you have dealt Acts of dissension, malicious intent As long as you get what you're after You have no fear of retaliation Here in the now or here after I am but one of those you have hurt All that I hear is your laughter I see you there, you do not care Walking the tightrope of life With no safety net Living your life as a fool So take what you can get It's all consequence It only makes sense To reap what you sow It's all just a show Look beyond the facade And take one look at me The world does not revolve around you I'm not here to serve your needs But you can't accept the truth You're not invisible In the shadow of a doubt Build a fence around the wall I see you there, I do not care! It's all consequence It only makes sense To reap what you sow It's all just a show

I know you better than you think I know a lot about your past And why you wear a mask You may deceive with your disguise And you may buy yourself some time Until the end of time To yourself, your reflection tells a lie Look inside, there's a dark side that you hide I make my presence felt I will not be ignored Just like an open sore I help to hurt it more I am the wound that will not heal I am the secret you conceal I am the truth you can't reveal You thought I might forget Vanish without a trace Just when you least expect then I will show my face I am the witness to the crime I am the track you left behind I am the setback in your plans I am the blood upon your hands You tried to bury me But I came back to life Now you must carry me Until the day you die Until you die I am the bed in which you sleep I am forever yours to keep

Today is the day we go our separate way No longer will I carry twice the weight It's time to cut you loose You won't drag me down this time Misery loves company Your invitation I decline I watch you sink in the quicksand But you refuse to extend your hand You've been crying wolf for years Now I see the wolf is you Am I a victim or a volunteer You prey on me, still I pray for you Some people never change I don't believe you will I don't intend to wait For snow to fall in hell You took my charity for granted you took advantage of my trust I guess I should've seen it coming I let my guard down and you struck Forget you ever knew my name Ask this of me and I will do the same There's nothing more to say Your silence says it all You best be on your way Just remember not to call And remember to forget the brother you never had I am not my brother's keeper!

When you wake up in the morning Can you tell me what you see A gentle flowing river Or a stormy troubled sea In this life you will find Tests and trials and despair If your faith is strong you'll know where to cast your cares Hold your head up high, not with pride or arrogance Be glad to know you got another chance I know the pain that's in your life Been down that road before Just when things were going right Fate had a twist in store Two roads I must travel on One life for another death One voice whispered in my ear Don't you give up just yet On a trail of tears, I have to face my fears Unlike the other one, left life with his own gun Just what went through his mind That peace he'll never find How do I carry on, now that my brother is gone? My life flashed before my eyes When I was twenty-five When I thought this could be the end I fought to stay alive I was indestructible I lived an ideal life But things change for better or for worse Each life a gift divine From the lessons learned and the bridges I have burned I have found but one true friend Who will stand by me through times of complexity And help me through the times of trial When I look in a mirror I can tell you who I see A man with new beginnings Living out his destiny I am here with you in spirit I will never leave your side I'll be right here if you need me Take my hand and walk with me All the while these are times of trial Carry onward through the darkest miles

The poet sits and twists the meter 'round And in the glare you'd swear his smile was a frown And Hermes there, he stares as the pages grow And all are left to fend for their own There was a time when he was in command Now it seems that he is quite mad, so sad There was a time when he was in demand But now it seems that he is quite mad The Titan took a look with leer As Cronos split the world with a fear Icarus has flown, he knows he is not alone As Aries waits with hate upon his fiery throne Do you now believe it? There he is, the mad poet Another page like the one before Loki tricks his brother Thor As he turns the metaphor Odin makes the thunder roar The Incubus doesn't know which way to go The Succubus entices her weary foe And Hera, in her spiteful way, allows Hades to claim the day When he looks at what he has done he throws hie feathered quill away No more wine, no more rowdy songs The bell tolls to claim its pawn When does a man begin to live again? When he is just a step away

Crooked politicians promise things And never see them through Bleed this country bankrupt All the while they're bleeding me and you Thousands here are homeless, starving in the streets, holding out their hands It's our responsibility when in need to cater foreign lands Land of the free, home of the brave Land of the tax, home of the slave Freedom comes at a price we all must pay We can't afford to buy our freedom For it men fight For it men die For that it costs to be free The more they take control The less free we become Election day is judgement day See the candidate telling two-faced lies–elected he betrays our trust We fall prey to a wolf in sheep's disguise Special interests, bureaucrats let their money talk Practice what they preach Another crooked candidate wins another vote Takes another seat In God we trust with every cent God can't approve how it is spent You can't always believe what the journalists report The media is biased the facts they will distort The networks and the news The tabloids and the press Program and confuse the right turn to the left A big conspiracy to keep us in the dark A shot heard 'round the world the sniper hit the mark

The soul lives on beyond this life will you ascend into the light Or be consumed by nothingness Or cast into the black For as above is so below and only one will take your soul I've been to the grave I've seen my life end Of my own free will Death by my own hand my blood has been shed My soul has been damned My spirit condemned My sin I repent With broken heart and broken mind I took my life before its time For one must die to rest in peace I tried to put my mind at ease I never thought my suffering would last for all eternity The soul lives on beyond this life will you ascend into the light Or be consumed by nothingness Or feel the flames of hell fire I've traveled afar to the ends of the earth I watch from afar, in shadows I lurk For every death, a life is born A soul is sent, a soul returns My life on earth a living hell A pain I know too much, too well My mortal soul is in despair A punishment I cannot bear Forsaken by God, exiled to the land of lost souls Into the unknown, tortured spirit in limbo, I roam Almighty God! All merciful, please hear my cry He listens not, my plea for forgiveness denied Thou hast been given life Thou shalt not taketh away! My absence of faith My wings will not fly My soul will not rest A paradise awaits the saved the promise kept to thee of faith Lived by the word, receive the son Thy kingdom come, thy will be done Deliverance, divine wings of rapture rejoice The angels fly to the light They're guided by voice I'm left behind in anguish I mourn my own death Forevermore, Unborn dying again And again, dying again, dying for eternal life

Netherworld Tossing, turning, restless Can not sleep Drenched in perspiration Dampened sheets Nestled in nocturnal darkness lay Reeling, my subconscious Mind at play Drifting, fading, falling Losing grasp Clinching, gritting, grinding Teeth I gnash Astroplaning dreamscapes I survey Out of body, spirit floats away Half asleep, half awake Upon the edge of twilight Past the gate, past the maze Guided by your mind's eye Exit the realm of reality Opening the doors of perception Through the corridors Of the labyrinth Enter the limbic void Drawn to moaning voices Calling out my name I walk into a room I thought from which they came Bodies wrapped in orgies Writhe in mortal lust Sculptured figures made of flesh Turn into dust Right before my eyes Changed the scenery As the floor falls out From beneath me Sucked through a hole to an infinity Into the vast unknown Tormented cries of those Cast into the abyss The screams descend And hallow in eternal pitch The vacuum vortex Swallows souls In swirling stew Into the belly of Leviathan they spew- That's when I woke up
