Death or Glory
Too many times I am reminded what I sow I reap Thanks for the tip but my own counsel will I keep It's such a shame You only see as far as hope is high If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes Choke down that advice reflex And we'll all get by just fine Tuck back the pearls of wisdom Or you'll feel a piece of my mind Who are you to tell me what is right? You listen close It's my fucking life I'll let the rain fall where it may How many dreams have you erased? So far between and few And I wonder why the world got the best of you Feel free to disagree But you'll just be a brick in my wall So take me as I am or don't take me at all Choke down that advice reflex And we'll all get by just fine Tuck back the pearls of wisdom Or you'll feel a piece of my mind Who are you to tell me what is right? You listen close It's my fucking life I'll let the rain fall where it may Too late to think of stopping now I can't give up I don't know how I will not live and die a slave Have I always been wrong? Maybe just maybe I don't belong Am I lost in the deep? Maybe just maybe I'll stay asleep I do not want to wake up from this Save me And now I realize The dream was never like it seemed What's there to wake up from When it's all real to me?

Blood fills my eyes Screaming drowns out the world Chaos, confusion A melee soiree Survival and murder Are dancing together I never was forced to endure this The choice was mine Home and family are waiting Worried and wondering How did I get here? How am I still here? Time and again Mercy flaunts its releases I've made my stand And I back down for no man Bring me the eyes of the blind Bring me the hearts of the faithless Let Hell have them Ravens sing the final song Toll the bells before the dawn Martyrs by morning Our banners: "Death or Glory" Suffer no fear Suffer no odds Suffer no fate Nor the will of the gods Some lack the vision to see The nerve to believe They call our crusade A fool's errand How can you call that a life If you've not risked it Breathing, existing, and yearning Without ever earning Bring me the eyes of the blind Bring me the hearts of the faithless Let Hell have them Ravens sing the final song Toll the bells before the dawn Martyrs by morning Our banners: "Death or Glory" Will I live to see the sunlight or Will I dance with death tonight? Twilight breaks With many against one How can I yield? I am not done Hell can wait Ravens sing the final song Toll the bells before the dawn Martyrs by morning Our banners: "Death or Glory"

Each step every day, I am not alone My guilt for a light that has never shone This haunting pain feels like home Suddenly family has another meaning I'll see you in the next life Another day goes by for me I'm sorry yours was not to be And never will Why did I send you on your way? Is all of this worth what you paid? I won't ever know I weep for a cross that was never born If I never knew, would I ever mourn? Lines fade on a vague moral rainbow Black and white, day and night, wrong and right Oh I envy simplicity Another day goes by for me I'm sorry yours was not to be And never will How could I bring back what is gone? I cannot change what I have done I can only wait Asleep inside the womb No stranger place to call a tomb This way at least you will be close to me And when the night is near I see you shining bright and clear Tonight I think I'll count the stars again I'll never lose a race I'll never see that smiling face I'll never get the chance to tuck you in You have forgiven me And that's the greatest tragedy I won't be able to forgive myself How can I wave goodbye With blood all over my hands?

I do not threat, I do not warn I only speak of what I'll mourn Every time you turn and run You blindly aim your loaded gun Ironic place for pride to be You are your own worst enemy Every dream chased in haste Another day gone to waste Time burns short Patience thins Keep this up No one wins Will this end? It just might So hold me close Hold me tight Close your eyes and open wide Meet me on the other side You're not the kind you find every day But I would leave you anyway I do not threat, I do not warn I only speak of what I'll mourn Faith alone is not a plan Save us now, I know you can Time burns short Patience thins Keep this up No one wins Will this end? It just might So hold me close Hold me tight Close your eyes and open wide Meet me on the other side You're not the kind you find every day But I would leave you anyway We dance an endless dance How long must this continue? We could go separate ways But they would just be circles These sunsets seem the same Fools weep but I know better I will remember them I will remember yesterday
