Im a man of iron,
theres nothing left to be forged.
put a gu to my head,
pull the trigger,
Ill be no more dead,
than I am right now.

I will probably live forever.
just my luck right?
When its all over,
and my world is ashes and dust,
Ill still be here,
wandering the silent city.

One of these days I will burn myself to the ground,
I cant keep this up forever.
Im running at 100%, trying to keep my mind glued together,
trying to pick up the shards before they cut anyone else.
one of these days Ill burn myself to the ground.
but not today.
today I dont deserve the peace.

shining star, light so bright,
wont you follow me tonight?
for I know soon your light will fail,
though Ill try and stop it to no prevail.
supernova, scorch my soul,
celestial passion take your toll,
burn my tar black heart to ash,
so I might find peace at last.
Oh monster monster black as night,
you who once did burn so bright.
consume this hollow mind of mine,
better you than madness.

Midnight passes and Im still here,
yelling to scare off the nightmares.
Tonight Im alone with my shadow,
Rasping against me like a serpent.
Again and again I make my way,
In this twisted maze I call life,
Telling myself I have to climb high,
Over this wall I built to jump from,
Racing the clock of my time bomb Soul.
Hell, why not take my time?
Even now I know Ill never make it,
Always hiding from my reflection,
Raging against the dying of light,
That was never here to begin with.

I sold my soul so long ago,
I cant remember the buyer.
all I know is Im down and low,
while my dreams climb higher and higher and higher.

devil come dance with me one last time,
let me feel like I can win.
when you **** me to hell you best make it rhyme,
On my soul is scrathed my sin.

Pride oh pride wont you let me go,
break these golden chains.
Your  weight has dragged me oh so low,
And Im just barely sane.

Sea and fire, rage and ire.
Truth and lie, earth and sky.
Gods and Devils, Soldiers and Rebels,
Good or bad, all things die.


I have watched gods clash,
Upon the marble streets of Athens.
And when they were done all that remained,
Was the shadow known as history.

I have seen titan’s rage,
Among the temples of jerusalem.
Lions and eagles warring,
Among burning husks of nations.

I will soon watch Giants fight,
Across all seas and lands,
They shall throw stars from heaven,
And burn the world to ash.

Im climbing this mountain,
my legs are shot,
This steep steep mountain,
gotta get to the top.

Im scaling this mountain,
my fists bleeding and cracked,
this hellish mountain,
but theres no turning back.

I wont give in,
though my lungs are on fire,
I wont stop climbing,
higher and higher.

the man on the peak,
he's got my belt,
still so far away,
the most pain Ive felt.

I belong up there,
so I will push and drive,
I may look dead,
but my heart is alive.

Wbc here I come,
nothing you do can stop me,
because from the top of this mountain,
I can look down and see you coming.

Ive watched you **** eachother since I first gave you life.
failing test over test in your blind,
pointless struggle for purpose.
I see a field in france thats lined with bodies,
I see a blinding light followed by the silencing of an entire generation.
I see anger, fear, guilt, pain, greed, pride and lust.
And yet I let you live, let you keep going,
because underneath all that dirt and crusted ash,
I can still see the defiant hope I fell in love with.

seven more miles to nowhere
staring through the loop
got this anvil around my neck,
bowin my shoulders makin me stoop.

gonna join me a new demographic,
on this brand new year of mine,
I would say something tired and cliche,
but Im sure you've heard the line.

7 miles to the seventh circle,
you know its not an exclusive club,
they take all comers young and old,
some come for money and some for love.

7 miles to a guiltless sleep now,
no more nightmares, no more screams,
when Im gone they will all be just fine,
in a day where the sun can beam.

Oh, flee my children, to the hills,
for terror stalks these lands,
no calamity of the earth
can stay a devil’s hands,
innocent blood stains the soil,
Judas an angel made,
they warned us of our arrogance,
and now the price is paid.
So fly for shelter, doves and eagles,
the wolves saw the storm and ran,
the demons march now, on the plain,
and their name is man.

I see two faces in the mirror,
every time Im alone.
they argue and bicker and go to war,
screaming behind my eyes.

The first face is a good man,
but a little dull.
no real talents, not all that bright,
but when he smiles he means it.

The second is violent, ambitious and brilliant, a light in his eyes.
Hes chasing the top of the world,
but his heart is cold and still.

I see two faces in the mirror,
whenever Im alone,
and more and more I realize,
neither one is me.
