(We’re All Afraid)

                 Lost inside ourselves
                we know we are alone
            The wise holds the strength
               to the future unknown

                  From a child to a man
               we try to show no fear
                But in the mist of reality
                     life is so unclear

                        On the outside
            we shine like a golden stone
                     But in the inside
                where afraid and alone

                In my brothers eyes
               I can see his despair
            But he can end his pain
             with just a little prayer

(A Mans Pride)

                     The haunting rain
                    brings in the dawn
                 Another nomadic night
               now his dreams are gone

                   His body feels old
                the pain don’t go away
               The days long and cold
                he feels his spirit decay

                     The edge is near
                 he feels it in his mind
                  There’s nothing  left
                   Oh the hand of time

                Much to wise to let go
                his soul stands strong
               But every path he takes
               seems narrow and long

                  His beliefs grow weak
                they crumble like a leaf
              Every morning that comes
                      Is far from  relief

               With blood on his hands
               but strength from above
                He will follow it through
                 with the power of love

(Unknown heart)

Mirror mirror on the wall
why does my heart have to fall
It feels like it hurts beyond repair
to trust again I do not dare

As I look further into my soul
Is something there in this black hole
A peaceful light that shines of gold
as I watched it’s beauty unfold

Oh mirror mirror there on the wall
Could it be my hearts not broken at all
It seems so strong and full of life
It shines so loud and so bright

I know now what God has given me
a beautiful heart that longs to be free
Without all the pain and false promises
and within myself is where it is
( Wolf and the Raven )

                                     Our mystery is no surprise
                                  You are my feet , I am your eyes
                                Ride with me till the mountains end
                                
                                         Our blood will flow red
                                          You will fly,I will tread
                                 Go soar the sky’s my ebony friend

                                 Our spirits together will travel far
                                  We will follow the northern star
                                Our love for life will show us the way

                             Although we carry a different blood line
                               I will guard your life as you will mine
                              We’ll search the night to find our prey

(I Will be Alone)


I will be alone
When the pipes come calling
Down to the bone
when the cold wind blows

I will forever wonder
with my pen in my hand
I will write my poetry
for the world to understand

I will not be afraid
As I walk through the shadows
I will stand alone
for the calling of the crows

I will reunite
with the ones who have passed
I will stand on the mountain
and be free at last

( In this Life )

                                          With every life there's an end
                                            in between we try to blend
                                         We blame God on real sad days
                                         So are we really rats in a maze

                                             We try to find who we are
                                        But some times we stray to far
                                              In the dark we find desire
                                         We find our sins and Hells fire
  
                                           If we're wise we find our place
                                        With Gods love we'll find his grace
                                             But we all live under the sun
                                        We share our sadness and our fun
How long have I been here
in this cold and dark abyss
I here the haunting sirens cry
and felt the evil serpents kiss

Somewhere along my journey
I must have fallen from the ship
Into an icy,frozen hell
into this God Forsaken crypt

The water is growing darker
now the heavens is what I seek
No one can save my self but me
though I have grown very weak

The pressure is starting to build
I’m slowly slipping away
I feel this warmth coming over me
the first time in my life I’m not afraid

As I drift into my icy grave
I feel my angels,cover me
As I take my last watery breath
they carry me away from the sea
