Forecast eternity onto my soul
As a book scribed in circles
May you splice what knowledge
GOD
Has to offer
Or retract your quivering brow
For in the lands of time
MAN
Will rule forever
Tempt not this fortune you seek
For, echoes of the dead
Travel endlessly
Hand in hand
With the living

I'm going insane
Voices in my brain
Tell me to quit
Alone in the rain

Give me a hand
Even if its cold
I'll give you mine
Then we'll grow old

One of us gets sick
And the other cries
How can I lay here
As the one I love dies

Let me know
What more I can do
Because I love you
And I know you do too

Your final day on earth
I made you my wife
I'm so glad to have met you
I'll remember you for life

Thousands of sunsets
And even more tears
I'll capture it all
While I conquer my fears

This one's for you
As you'll always be a friend
I'll  never forget you
And I hope to see you again

Care to fill me in?
Or was this always your plan?
Tossing me away
As a piece of trash
Drifting at winds whim

I just would like to say
That I did
I did love you
Even though it's too late
Much too late now

When you change your mind
I won't be here for you
After tears are dried
After friends are gone
After life has ended

I will wear the smile
You gave to me
When we first met
And you told me
Forever

Midnight summers gale flows hand in hand amongst the waves
Dancing under moonlight awaiting our blistering star
Every crash mimicked as wind gallops swiftly midst it’s wake
An unbreakable bond with nature and life
Swaying for eternity composed of one another’s soul
As wind howls louder unleashing a barrage of force
The vast sea answers with swells that dwarf mountains
Back and forth calamitous waves sink and rise
Diving beyond the depths of known and rising high for the moon
Leaping into the air knowing the wind will catch her before she falls
Thunderous roars crack holes in sound and space
As lightning fills the voids to all ends of its existence
Sacrificing everything for sound Whilst it echoes endlessly
Soaring through the skies of humanity, widening so gently
Covering all known as a blanket of vibrating love
To caress and nurture all beings to rest
Upon our final pirouette, just as our star rises into view
My breeze calms to a whisper
Your tranquil sea envelopes the land
Daybreak welcomes warmth and serenity as we rest
That is until I see you again under the glowing stars
Hand in hand we will dance
As wind
And water

Just another hovering face amidst the millions
Clammy hands twitch like newborn foe
Instinctive to endless madness within us all
As a single entity, we gaze upon the heavens
Tattered clothes mimic these tattered lives
From which we can now be free
Darkness plummets towards earth and all its wonders
Like the master taming the frail
Silence has no place here
As it is chased down and executed in front of all
**** you for your feathered beauty
And **** you for keeping the calm
Now our voices will be heard across the land
From deep within our lungs we will scream our last chant
Together, our clatter will crack holes in         time
Our sound will travel forever past this insanity
Further than the rage that is instilled in you
Further than the Gods which you pray upon
We will not answer to you no more as peasant flock
Our time is now to revolt against ALL aspects of your life
May our lives be a sacrifice for those who come next
As a platform to disarm the ugly we face
We have the power!
And we have the grace!
To take back what is ours!
NO MORE SILENCE!
NO MORE PEACE!
WE ARE THE NEVERENDING
FLAME OF PAIN THAT WILL FINNALLY BE HEARD!

Fixate on the light with darkness in mind as spite
Trying to find a way around the wrong to do what’s right
Time to take flight, hurdle from those steps with all of my might
Regaining greatness, it’s me who’s at the top of the fight
Soaring high I will never let that ****** drag me down again
I bested its every skill, its begging me to be a friend again
Too late *****, sorry for leaving you down on the ground where you belong
You taught me to dwell there and why? You said we could get along!
**** that, I’m ripping the darkness away from my heart and soul
It’s **** and old, rotting every second that I rock and roll
So cocky and bold you actually look my way when I’m gone
Sitting there in tears decaying with every word of this song
You were wrong when you said that I had ran out of steam
It’s time to realize that I’m lean, mean and ready for the scene
Let that beam of light shine bright with all its enormity onto me
Now let’s fight for what’s thought to be only capable inside a dream

Calm wind brushes my cheeks in the brisk of dusk
It hounds for purpose as if to scathe my existence
My blood floods chambers with intent to survive
Along with every micro fire of every molecule of my reality
Froth coincides sputum as it cultivates amongst my gums
Pain radiates with every gasping breath of air
Thoughts of hurt and despair flood my mind
The easiest thing to do was quit
The hardest, move on
Firm everyday
Forever
