At Daggers Drawn

Brother and sister, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of the recently deceased Taken from this earth in such an unfair manner, from forces outside of this realm Death is not final, but a temporary seperation from the beloved person Who will be brought back to life on the day of judgement We shall now bow our head, and pray for the dead

The stench of charred remains cascades outward, draining life from huddled masses. Black out the names, forget their faces. Without a trace, they disappear. They prayed for this, such intrinsic, beneficial genocide. This life is so full of possibilities that we must purge ourselves of this disgrace. Please wait, perhaps we should think this through. But you make haste to provide for us all. This place is hell and can't be ignored. I hold out hope. This blatant disregard for human life won't be ignored. I hold out hope. Such empty promises to your people, they'll turn on you. Your day of judgment will come. I felt the burden of demons on my back. Instead of angels taking me from this. The screams of children echo from the prison, conveying torture and regret. Make them suffer for their crimes. The time has come to pay the price.

Crashed! They were sisters in fortune; the serpents they struck them at the darkest of nights. Two ships sharing a gravesite, homogenized like a pile of bones. Virtue scorned in favor of mere survival. This is not the place for heroes. This is desperation in its truest form; many fail to escape their splintered graves. Virtue scorned in favor of mere survival. This is not the place for heroes. Clocks won't turn back to save us now. We won't forget that we have a chance. Finding solace in the hope that we have, this fragile lifeline is our only way out. Clocks won't turn back to save us now. We won't forget we have a chance. Go! And then the sun came up, a tiny shred of hope. Good timing for a promise to get back home. The light within never waivers, never dies. Instead, it saves you from this. Failure to find shelter in this hell of ice assures you pain that you'll never recognize. This is our destiny, you can't turn these ships around. Clocks won't turn back to save us now. We won't forget we have a chance. Finding solace in the hope that we have, this fragile lifeline is our only way out.

Rotting and bloated, the corpses pile up, another sign of what we all have in store. Your good intentions will not lead you anywhere. Signals are useless, they've called off any search. Your decisions....where is your rationale? Be realistic, we don't have a prayer. This is the fight of our lives, and if we fail, my captain, our blood is on your hands. And if we fail, my captain, our blood is on your hands. The failure of humankind, our greatest tragedy. Consume your fellow man. The definition of eternity is a moment alone. An endless cycle of torture is all we have known. Let go of your sheepish notions of coming out alive--it will never happen. See death as a comfort as it's agony to survive. We are the starving. We are the weak. We are the cowards. We are the meek. And if we fail, my captain, our blood is on your hands. We are the killers that you dream about. We are the villains that you fear.

Dismember me, for I can't bare to lose you. Your hands around my throat, attempted strangulation. Forced without reprieve upon my neck. This pain that plagues my mind shall slowly fade. I can't believe that this is more than a dream tonight. And I know that there's a reason why I still care. Gouging out my eyes and tearing at my scalp, I cannot remember why I ever fucking tried. This isn't black and white, it is dark red. You'll learn your lesson from this mutilation. With blood spewing from your once emboldened eyes, you will regret this day and what you've done to me. Hungry for restitution, bodies afloat. And I remain. I will stay committed to you for I am your ally. As we part we proceed as one conjoined entity. With blood still dripping my knife, I wait for this day to end. Despite my deepest fears, i will never lose hope.

A nation of cowards. Our ideals betrayed. Tides of injustice. Traitors to ourselves. Offer my entrails as sacrifice to your God, and then imagine what we could have had. A call for justice, or a call for treason? The universal problem-solver. Please don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes, a recurring cry. Strap him down and his evils will be reconciled. Flip the switch and everything will be alright. Inject the poison to make us feel safe. It will crush you, shattered teeth and broken bones all in spite of your best intentions. It will consume you, ruined lives and tortured souls all because of your need for a scapegoat. I have ignored this carnage for far too long, but now my conscience has caught up with my heart. Carry me away on wings that cannot fly to the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.

I tried so hard to find solace. Instead i found discomfort. I had one chance to learn from mistakes that I had once made. One more decision that will come to haunt me. Resort to violence and it will get hard to see through the eyes of an unsuspecting victim. Blinded by fear and prejudice, I failed to see you bleeding in my foolish state. I failed to find a problem in my ignorant stage. It was such a tragic tale of your aggression that you entrenched yourself with a gun. I tried so hard to blaze a path, to make things right and prosperous. I'll raise the banner against intolerance. I'll fight against those who preach ignorance. A culture of horrors, a nation led by fear. It must cease to be, or we are doomed. we must walk the path to enlightment, but yet you are so unwilling. If you don't give, if you don't acquiesce; we are destined, destined to repeat our mistakes.

This is inherent, this is second nature. I won't deliver without your promise that you will save me when I'm in need. I can't trust anyone else. And I know that you will be the end of me. Vacancies in your honesty shall limit our ambition. Our memories are transposed on photographs you gave to me. I framed them up, tucked them away to relive what was once aversive. It's not the end. This will last forever. I will return. This time it's perfect. For life won't fade, this will last forever. It's not the end, find your way back. This moment, it has replaced my means to find an explanation for all I ever...where has it gone? I will do anything, relive, regain, I can't surrender. One life, one struggle, we will carry on. Through strife and hardship we shall proceed.

With souls on fire, they shall surrender peace. But blood still flows from the eyes of martyrs. In light of hatred, we now know our purpose. Dear God, what is this? What is it that you've done? These moments, forgotten shall disappear. It's not a menu from which to pick and choose: for God, for marriage, for life but fuck the poor? And i wont lose hope that one day i'll believe but until then i'll be the cynic. Then again i could be in the wrong but i guess that's what faith is. I know there's still hope that compassion will rise again. This faith burns in their eyes and blood still flows from my wounds. I fail to find the faith despite what i wish for. With souls on fire, they shall surrender peace. But blood still flows from the eyes of martyrs. Entrenched, they suffer from the things that they hide from. They seek salvation which they will never find. For the lost, for the poor, for the disregarded. For the souls, for the faith of the broken-hearted.

You run in circles just to feel alive. This endless cycle must be broken. Define a role, place me in it. As you reflect a dark world. My life inside your distorted eyes. Your baseless pride and such damning lies. Differences you won't realize. Differences you can't compromise. This life will fade, don't you know there is no point in this sad charade, the cash parade that you march in? You've sold your soul so go ahead and be on your way. Bow to your gods-party sluts and heiress whores. Your rules do not apply, for i am not just like you. Party sluts and heiress whores define your culture in which i want no part. This is my life. These are my dreams. I will never let you define me.

Defend the young for the plague has come. An ominous cancer is here. Unleash the beast of your scornful misery. This is our only chance to achieve peace. Enter a darkened world, a realm in which the demons surround you and bask in the mayhem they have wrought forth from their own hell (as light protects them). And hatred it wraps itself around my neck (strangling me). For what seems like a century (the misery) that falls beneath the surface to be crystallized in my heart. The night has come again. For us to change the past. Hate and lies become a myth. This is how we'll live. Fight. This is our war. Fuck them all and fight them off. Don't be defeated. An ominous cancer is here. Release us now. From this tethered life. This is our only chance to achieve peace.
