Heat Lightning
Comet streaks across the sky A harbinger of things to come A warning shot, a sinister sign or merely a message Coming closer, careening by We embrace our destruction We are the same, you and I We worship the same master We’re a legion Bonded by fire And now the wolf in you is blind We’re a legion Bonded by time And now the wolf in you is blind The stars align. Tonight’s the night for a bloodless ceremony An offering, a sacrifice A gift of devotion We come together to share the light Extraterrestrial fires Even in death, your decades are fly A uniform of disaster We’re a legion Bonded by fire And now the wolf in you is blind We’re a legion Bonded by time And now the wolf in you is blind

Night skies, wild eyes reflecting in the faint light of the moon, the red moon Color of smoke consumed Your turn to keep watch Language shifts beneath us The hand of man hits hard Like footprints of the gods Second sight, third eye unlocks the gate inside Quiet guide, shadow mind Lamp for a path that winds Doors open, step through Magnetic pull to you Moon rise in daylight The distant sound of a fight And when heat lightning starts again Turns the woods a blaze without warning Indelible nightmares, loss to flame Scorching all the earth In its wake When the wind whips a righteous storm And the smoke it blinds the sun You’re taking credit blaming everyone Hold vigil, burn bright Black hole of love and light All we are, what we do will be a radar echo War’s over peace soldier What you gonna do when your older? All your life trained for might There is nothing left to fight And when the heat lightning starts again Turns the skies ablaze without warning The liminal hardware can’t sustain We have lost control New day dawning When the wind whips a righteous storm And the smoke it blinds the sun You’re taking credit blaming everyone When the wind whips a righteous storm And the smoke it blinds the sun We’re going backwards blaming everyone

Lead poisoned traitors! An insatiable lust for more They have to prove what they’re made of Overcompensation war One hand to hold, one hand to guide The devil always by your side Want to possess what you’re made off And stay above the law Remorseless betrayer! Running rough shot with taboo The control accelerator Wreaking havoc on the news One hand to hold, one hand to guide The devil always by your side Want to possess what you’re made of And stay above the law You are a traitor You have gone wrong It’s time to make up for your misdeeds Living in a pit of vipers Slither back where they belong You cannot fill a vacuum With a rocket ship to Mars One hand to hold one hand to guide The devil always by your side Want to possess what you’re made off And stay above the law You are a traitor You have gone wrong It’s time to make up for your misdeeds

Badder than bad, madder than mad You push him up on the stage Mic him up, we’re set to strut When I see his blade He held it flat Left Hand Path Used to make his chords His right hand, a mangled man Picked the strings like a claw A pact with Satan or the grace of God Either way he had to play guitar And take it far When your in the fight of your life And you bring a butter knife That’s how sure you are that you gonna play guitar Said old man What you doing with that knife in you hand? He looked at me and he said, “I’m gonna cut your throat.” A travellin' man, a battering ram He lives his life on the stage He writes the songs With hands so strong When he's let out of the cage Against the grain Never sane A lifer 'til the end He plays it loud Offends the crowd With his elephant bends A pact with Satan or the grace of God Taking chances and breaking laws A Pact with Satan or the grace of God When your in the fight of your life to get name in lights That’s how sure you are that you’re gonna play guitar Hey old friend What you doing with that axe in your hand? He looked at me and he said, “I’m gonna cut you’re throat” When you’re in the fight of your life And you gonna fight all night That’s how sure you are That you’re gonna play guitar

The fog is lifting Our dreams are fading We’ve lost so many to the sea We hope for a new life Protected by Christ To manifest destiny Is worth the brutal strife And all the godless heathens know nothing of the work we do The way we twist the words into sinew Bend it to our side Make it what we need To bloody our hands for a kill This is ours, the gift of will Blasphemers upon the shore Crying out to Hades Killed the ones that came before Nature is the only law They’ll never surrender We’ll have to bend them to our will Blasphemous chorus War cry The fight is before us The doctrine states that we can kill Blasphemous chorus War cry We left all we know to make a better life A corruption free fanatical fantasy We brought the books And we brought the will But what we sorely lacked was the basic skills They’ll never surrender We’ll have to bend them to our will Blasphemous chorus War cry The fight is before us The doctrine states that we can kill Blasphemous chorus War cry

The flickering fire Visible through the trees 18 and righteous Wanting to rebel Sneak out at nighttime Sloshin' with English boys They found by the river in the muck and mire Smoking and drinking Fornicating and fighting all night They cannot be seen from the roadside by the Franklin County line Down on the cold Deer River Out near the bend as it winds Beyond the steel deck bridge Franklin County line We’ll never tell Father We will tow the line and go there in secret We go to drink the wine Mother will notice the second we are with child So best not get pregnant Over the county line Smoking and drinking Fornicating and fighting all night They cannot be seen from the roadside From the Franklin County line Down on the cold Deer River Out near the bend as it winds Beyond the steel deck bridge Franklin County line

Time after time we wind up in disbelief Wringing our hands and gasping Begging for mercy Sitting idle for survival Clutch your pearls as you hold your Bible Taking the words of God so seriously What you see is what you know What you reap is what you sow Seems like a plan thats laid right out before me Control of the game is control of the soul and the body Make us rivals, give us bibles Numb enough not to see the liable Watching the hand of God act like a thief Let’s spill some blood Let’s show the world what we’re made of Never bend a knee Never flee in retreat Revenge is a feast that tastes of the sweetest relief A lasting effect, a scar on the soul and the body Poisoned minds and poison idols Polished brass and cultured rivals Taking the word of the Lord so seriously Let’s spill some blood Let’s show the world what we’re made of Revenge is what we claim They won’t remember your name What you reap is what you sow

In the darkness of a soul There is a place that pain and pleasure holds And where the wounds lie in wait And the cells of a body act on a lizard brain High threshold for pain When you’re young you stuff it down again Chip on your shoulder As your older it turns to a boulder The ego is a death wish And we are hopelessly vain When you're young and your falling hard High threshold for pain The masochism, the joy and pain Of learning the same lessons Over and over again

Circumstance, a call to war past another desperate shore Shoot the world, we’ll kill ’em all Be alone with your thoughts Fall on the sword Ain’t that the way? Lead the battle worn to their graves Display in awe Late stage decay A constant tug of war gives us away Ratchet the world until we break And give in to the might makes right way Break down the doors and end the pain Laser focus view on world again Swallow the Sword From hilt to blade Pride is a whore When the will becomes the chain Walk out the door Give it to the flame Pride is a whore When the will becomes the chain Hands and knees On the floor Leaving your will at the door What you want, a little more You can wait til we score Ask us to pray A bridge too far Has us beg for crumbs just like a dog Ratchet the world Keep pulling tight Squeeze it ’til it breaks from the bite Fall on your sword Ain't that the way? Leads the battle worn to their graves In this wicked world Will leaves us torn Love and anger gets us through the storm Swallow the Sword From hilt to blade Pride is a whore When the will becomes the chain Walk out the door Give it to the flame Pride is a whore When the will becomes the chain
