See dafur and rage
Children's lifeblood
Wooden stakes
We live the killing age
Washed in evil men's  mistakes
Forgive us blood of lnnocence
Yet again we turn a blind eye
But of the tyrant king in Babylon
Devoid of any sence
For  his oil we burned the sky
I know what's right, what is wrong
Will never be setteled
In lyric or song
I have known this
All dark long
Go  bear witness dafur
And be undone.      Hy

We are authors of such cruelty
****** violence unchecked
Physically, manifesting
The rot that permeates
the heart of what it is
To be human
*******, manipulation
Manevolance now defined
All life bleeds irrevelence
Since killing was refined.           Hy

Would I bleed you
To save myself
Turn and look away
Surrender reason
Up on a shelf
Paranoia...
what da ya  say?
The long dark is coming
I spit this out as fact
Rage the statas quo
Come the night of the jackel
Steel  ln my hand
Say me which way your to go
Their weapon religion
Their version of God
Agenda,
To own how you think
World oder looming
Do you find it odd
Chain of life
Will be  missing the next link.     Hy

Paying the price
Of indifference
Sow a wind of despair
Unshed tears are innocence
When the reaper
Comes looking to share
Like proverbial sheep
Led to slaughter
Defiled,
By an iceingdeath touch
Vile ravens sweeping
Blood in the water
In fear
I use faith as a crutch
My soul is now bleeding
I've been written off
Death angels claws in my hair
Lay still in the dark
Try not to cough
Then remember l really don't care.   Hy

Love is not the answer
The emptyness inside
Rage against the loneliness
To sate a foolish pride
There's got to be the someone
One that is for me
Jeez, how the gods must be laughing
at the fools we've come to be
The love you gift your children
Is all that really counts
The rest is all just *******
Reality will pounce
So find someone you can tolerate
And run with this my friend
Cause all we are is waiting
Waiting for the end
They will tell you of a kingdom called heaven
One day your god might call you home
You may take these words as contemptible
       But I'd as soon
                    I walk alone.    ......hy

I can still remember when
Your eyes drank of my soul
I think about us now and then
Of before we lost control
We took it all for granted
Played life, like a ******* game
But the seeds of sorrow we planted
Would put me in touch with my shame
I wish that I had been strong enough
But I ****** away my pride
You did teach me I wasn't so tough
What you did left me empty inside
Never will say this wasn't my fault
But you will hold some of the blame
Something's in life don't need to be taught
Like to  honour the children you named
Yet, somehow I just lost my way
And let them pay the price
I think what I have left to say
We should never have thrown the dice

When morning dawns
And these dreams fade
No longer see
Your lovely face
Soft and low
Promises made
Where have you gone
Diamonds n lace
Visions of you
And angels sigh
I reach for you
And wonder why
I believe
You are my grace
When these dreams call
Your eyes the chase
Just to live
In your dark embrace
I would give my life
Give up this place
Can't you see
Your smile is starlite
Can you not see
You own the sun
When your not here
My tears like rain fall
I dream you near
When night is come.      Hy
