1349

She drifted ashore from foreign land her grandness and pride had gone All beat up and bruised by nature's hand Her crew had been overthrown Deadly and daunting she laid still, as darkness faded In shallow waters she came to stay Unloading illness from far away Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide The orphan had seen her drift that night Excited to climb onboard He waited until the morning light Brought a cross and his wooden sword Such a bold, juvenile mind No second thoughts of what he might find In shallow waters she came to stay Unloading illness from far away Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide Inscriptions on the hull Crossed bones and a skull Did not deter this boy A good adventure brought him joy In shallow waters she came to stay Unloading illness from far away Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide

So short of breath He's running like the wind, not looking back That morbid scenery Forever it's engrained inside his mind Rings and necklaces, shining pearls Jewelry worthy kings and queens No more would beggary confine his soul Face down in the dirt A second of remorse for what he's done A glance towards the sky Would the dead need all that gold at heavens door? Rings and necklaces, shining pearls Jewelry worthy kings and queens Dust himself off, with conscience clean Words of scorn, all he had ever heard From the day he was born Forced to a reclusive world Death crawl in his trails Relentlessly and silent Flowing through his veins To spread across the highlands No-one could've foreseen The tragedy to follow The power of this fiend Embed the world in horror With pockets full of hope Elated to tell of his fortune For just once in his life, he felt alive Rings and necklaces, shining pearls Jewelry worthy kings and queens Now, every step he takes... Death crawl in his trails Relentlessly and silent Flowing through his veins To spread across the highlands No-one could've foreseen The tragedy to follow The power of this fiend Embed the world in horror

Bring the priest, we need him here This hamlet's struck by sorcery The blacksmith found them down by the sea Blackened boils on all three Dead at least for seven days Made us contort in dismay Alive or dead, come as they may Such vicious acts make gallows sway Find the ones who ever, have defied the words of god Who can we trust, who's deceiving us? Forces of the dark, persistently they sow discord Let none scape, they shall burn! Are we under spells of evil? Save our poor souls, bring us back to the light! Don't lose your heads, keep calm and pray The damage done we will repay Who's the wolf in sheep clothing? Blending in and changing skin A plan to take us down one by one From the shadows strike, and soon be gone Find the ones who ever, have defied the words of god Who can we trust, who's deceiving us? Forces of the dark, persistently they sow discord Let none scape, they shall burn! We close our eyes as they turn to ashes Bewrayed by the raging wind We raise our hands to heaven, and hope for them To reconsile and be let in

A white cross is painted on every door The sign of the times Hallucinations, fever and pain Is spreading like wildfire The squeeking from carriages, laden with the dead Is drowning all birdsong Short graves are dug by desperate mothers One last lullaby The rivers run black Unchanged and eternal The sun brings a new day as we die Meaningless, or a plan for a greater cause Given no choice but no resign And feed the earth, leave this world The laughter of children have faded away Their angelic voices died As fools tell no tales, and the minstrel has silenced Last glimmer of joy has gone A dive from the cliffs of mercy Into the sea of affliction Lungs fill up and minds corrode The beautiful life, a story unwritten A tear-filled goodbye Search for solace no more What's been given will be taken back And order is restored The rivers run black Unchanged and eternal The sun brings a new day as we die Meaningless, or a plan for a greater cause Given no choice but no resign And feed the earth, leave this world Run black... Meaningless..

Drag that cross, your borden to bear Swing that scourge, don't let it rest A procession of blood, for cleansing of sin Let the three of redemption lick your skin So many questions gather And confusion clouds your mind Why should you be punished? Your wealth has always bought you free But in these times of malady One and all are all the same Farmer, blacksmith, kingsman All shall walk the path of shame Chant the words of holiness Hear them echo through the wind Can they keep your soul in place? Show devotion to him What you reap is what you sow Feel the loss of worthiness Might just be it's your life that you owe... Drag that cross, your borden to bear Swing that scourge, don't let it rest A procession of blood, for cleansing of sin Let the three of redemption lick your skin With heavy steps, be baritone feet Minutes turn hours to days, then repeat Fulfill this mission of yours To red the wrath of god Weakened... no healing Hum your lamentation A soothing rite for all your pain From being the social top sheet Then watch it all go down the drain

How can I redeem myself? Unaware, I feel from grace I took a leap of faith But landed outside the great gates of hell With riches to sell Oh, reckless boy...such misery You wear the curse and won't be free You are the messenger, delivering death Still, alive you stand...with a steady breath The lives we led in simplicity Innocents, with hopes and dreams Suddenly washed away, we drown in the flood No gold can repay, or cease the mournful days

Come forth my friend, don't be afraid I'm your last hope and you need my aid Written in blood, my obligation I'll take your pain, a full extrication As options are scarce, my service appeals Sceptics believe, believers are healed Science become through trial and error Light up the path for my honorable endeavor You linger in a state of delirium Intense anticipation My voice shall bring you comfort As the beak will point the way I'm an improvising charlatan Who's selling lies in a fearsome disguise Let us proceed, this demon's invasive A floral compound, to cleanse and erase him If all else should fail, a bloodletting should do Might take some time, but I promise to heal you I'm feeding from your fear and despair So secretly, I have my own agenda clear Death has taken measurements Your final suit is being made Soon you won't feel anything Or a lifetime of suffering Skin so frail, like porcelain I slice you up, my mannequin A thin coating of mercury Might draw evil rom out of thee Infectious and foul, like a maggot you crawl, Hold on to life, the most precious of all But what is it worth? Nobody could tell me Needed to find out the secrets our bodies keep I have my own agent clear... My voice shall bring you comfort As the beak will point the way I'm an improvising charlatan Who's selling lies in a fearsome disguise For the dead and dying A harbinger of doom I'm an instrument with sharpened edge The reliever, deceiver, make-believer

He'd been hiding behind those walls So safe, riding out the storm They swallowed his lies, while dropping like flies Shown no sympathy Then...Thrown down from his high damn horse Blue blood could not break the fall A fancy veneer, crackled by fear His crown lost all it's might Caught in the onslaught 1349 Would they all perish? A vengeance divine? Streets foul with human remains A ll deprived of their dignity God turned his back They faded to black under his shadow Deep down in the hole that he'd dug Lay his pride and greed in the mud Reality struck, infection came knocking on his door Yersinia Pestis raved lands to west from east The charnel houses filled u, rats enjoyed the feast Far from it's former glory, the kingdom fell apart A humiliated king drove the scepter through his heart There laid by the cold stone walls Eyes all teary in a hollow stare And as darkness descended around him All but solemnly, the end of his despair Caught in the onslaught 1349 Would they all perish? A vengeance divine?

Tried to fill a void inside To find my place and no more need to hide My life had just begun Temptation too strong Evert minute far too long I brought the darkness upon us all, by ignorance Opened a golden chest, encircled by those who death caressed It's been told that fortune favors the bold But no...No more shall I run Can't make it undone Now, lost every ounce of hope Seems clarity comes at the end of a rope Blood moon, your warm light shines down on me I do confess my sin, can you release me? Blood moon, the snare contracts around my neck A perfect night to see your calming beauty Come rain, come shine or hell divine I'll take anything now, I'm dying to resign Guilt, the shadow weighing down my shoulders to the ground Unbearably it grinds my mind Trying to stay alive Or alive to stay, fighting alone... Blood moon, your warm light shines down on me I do confess my sin, can you release me? Blood moon, the snare contracts around my neck A perfect night to see your calming beauty

Can we be more than this? Do someone know the truth behind all? Mysteries, so well concealed Yet within our reach, put selfishness away Evolve together, to another level All minds in perfect synergy Killing for thrills or misunderstandings For winnings or hate All degenerates How to tell friend from foe Loyalties differ from one day to the next What are we then really worth? Merely our weight, in flesh and in blood Dreams of immortality never die, nor make us see The tragedy we are Breath in, breath out Come alive once again, brand new Leave any doubt A wider view Breath in, breath out Realise what could all be attained Leave any doubt Become unrestrained In the blackness we learn who we are Unlock portals within and beyond Shed new light from an eagle's perspective See who we are Be what we're not Aim to preserve lives, or aim down sights in strifes Indulgence spread too wide True abilities belied Dreams of immortality.... The tragedy we are.... Breath in, breath out Come alive once again, brand new Leave any doubt A wider view Breath in, breath out Realise what could all be attained Leave any doubt Become unrestrained
