Look into the night sky
And know you walk alone
The choices I've embraced
Bleed my soul to stone
In the night I scream deliver me
To a god who wont hear my cries
In a world of no compassion
The flesh of our children
Is feeding the flies
Do you ever sweat the difference
Of what is right and wrong
What Manson did to Sharon
Turn your eyes, just move along
I would I had made a difference
My shame being hollow inside
I will ask for no ones forgiveness
Life has been a hell  of a ride
I should say that I prayed for vengeance
To a god whose indifference is pride
Now what feel is just empty
And I need a place to hide.             Hy

Endless is the long dark night
Read death between these lines
Our choices being, ln black or in white
Or in the grey our conscience designs
I cadence we scream this song of our hate
The tears of the poor are still feeding the elite
Their passion for more they never will sate
As we drowned in this well of defeat
We live in a time shattered by chance
Details of our lives are so cold
The rich and the powerful continue their dance
For the rest you will never grow old
As government's **** for their share of the prize
Dogs of war are assuming control
They smile through your television spinning their lies
Oh, so slowly they piece out your soul
There's nothing left to say or to do
Final card already been played
Know that they own all that ever was you
Guess its true its just how we were made.     Hy

O, woman why don't
You hear me
Listen, as i
Whisper your name
My cry is the nite
I need you to see
For me
This was never a game
These dream's
Just will not cease
Your eyes burn
Through my very soul
Can never find any release
Cause love is that
Which is never controlled
So I lie
Here to the darkness
The nite screams
She never was there
I need you to see
Nothing left for me
But for the woman
Who lived in my stare.              Hy

Never understood the meaning
A life spinning out of control
I stared in the face of the reaper
At risk ,my very soul
Once loved a girl who was fire
Realizing not what I had done
The child bore of our desire
A soul that would rival the sun
Just a name can't hold enough meaning
These feelings burning inside
Child of fire I will name Kendra
Of my blood, of my flesh , of my pride
I finally understand the meaning
It is the color, there in her eyes
When kendra Sez dad I love you
I no longer rage at lifes  lies.     Hy

Brother how l've come to miss you
Been a while since we lay you to ground
I feel so lost but what can I do
Life was more when I had you around
I remember the time of our childhood
Now time has established control
We burned through our youth as fast as we could
Never realized life was digging the hole
Now I'm just drowned in this sadness
I miss your Witt and what you were inside
Sometimes I think we all dance in madness
Hope your with mother on the other side
If you see her tell her I miss her
I think soon I will be closing these eyes
And all that I am, and all that we were
Comes to nothing ,cause everything dies.        Hy

The eagle that is american pride
Her talons do bring certain death
Have a care when choosing a side
Or you just may be on final breath
This raptor never bleeds for the right reason
Like the horror being waged in Dafur
Yet for oil this bird spews American treason
Trading out profit for the lives of the poor
Surely the  creator must have been napping
Letting technology kick through the door
All will soon learn resisting is nothing
Splitting the atom made U.S. god of war
So run little sheep as fast as you can
Cause the eagle she has taken flight
Bringing red ruin to the world on command
Out of darkness and into gun sight
Seeds of discontent only grow if you let them
This affront none will ever achieve
For this Harpy's Master none other than him
Open your eyes and hear the world grieve.     Hy

Do you ever search for the answer
Are we truly so empty inside
When hate and greed breed like cancer
Our song of insanity is turning the tide
The blood of the innocent runs free
We are starting to lose all control
When people covet all that they see
A darkness consuming the soul
Know it is mine if I take it
That it was yours means nothing at all
Compassion we know we can fake it
If conscience just happens to call
As we step on the promises we make
Lies are all that you keep
Giving so much less than you take
Listen, and hear your god weep
People **** because they can do it
Consequence no deterrent at all
When all hope is lost
             Ya just gotta say ***** it
Wrath of god lay waste to us all.            Hy
