my mind is a place where saints fear to tread
decay ever stitching the haunting songs of the dead
birthing nightmares sustained by false hope & dreams
relentless animosity carving fissures in it's seams
In our sleep this earth bleeds herself absent of truth
in her arms we've fallen & grown accustom to abuse
faithless and blind we set aflame our own home
her passions turns malice - it splinters flesh like stone
inherit this vision at the price of your pride
much like the watchdog astray by his blind master's side
consume their lies, forgive not the sins we've committed
close your eyes while the dead are condemned & their killers acquitted
I think too fucking much to become another one of their mindless slaves
& I care too much to stand idle as my brothers are forced to dig their own graves
Ive grown to despise the conformity that plagues this dreaded race
i'll burn the world to ashes just so that they remember i was forsaken by this place
helpless and lost, a delusion of eternal hell
marked by nothing but forsaken memories of renegades who trailed decay as they fell
while you continue your search for purpose I'll embrace solitudes haven within my heart
ive run out of blood to spill for this world, out of hope we will ever part
after all who gives a shit about a dead man's life?
virulence consumes the forgotten, their innocence inherent with strife
we dance beneath a falling sky and silently follow a path so often tread
with so much certainty & faith in the everlasting echoes of the dead
who can say that the water is to blame if you drown?
just as misery is not to blame if you decide to never make a sound
we are all at ease by the silence and fear that rules this domain
but there's only so much injustice that one can contain
i found felicity through vision, my cradle of decay and ideal
behind broken dreams and torn memories one truth remained real
my determination to survive & set course this forsaken reality
i can show you too - all you have to do is walk with me
=========================================================================
you know not hatred nor treachery nor heaven nor hell, you know nothing but this forsaken desolate sky from which you fell. You smile in ignorance much like much of mankind, of course as long as complacency is to be found in your mind. Like the wind i'll creep in and violate your dreams, ill show you this reality is not all that it seems. youve been lied to since conception fed slander and deception while they watched behind wicked masks so proud of your reception. Scorched eyes see more clearly than those clouded by deceit, you must learn to walk through these flames unscathed on your own two faltering feet. Ive come to bring you guidance, ive come to break your mind. Ive come to deliver ideals once so carelessly left behind. We are the product of destruction, renewal and rebirth. We have been given a second chance at reclamation upon this earth. Instead we've closed our eyes and embraced our falling sky, we put trust in the unknown for fear that we may otherwise die. your terror of death is cradled by the despair they instilled, you cowered for mercy and so in your innocent mind they filled. They offer guidance and worth so you wallow in content, blissfully ignorant of the lives our ancestors have so willingly spent.. Spent for your freedom, your luxury and fast cars. Spent so that you could live an ignorant life behind bars.
I am the reaper, deaths gentle embrace. Ive come to infiltrate your broken mind and set you free from this place. I can feel the fire beckoning you deep in your soul, reach inside and revive it despite what you've been told. You've lived by their rules and where has it brought you? you trusted in their lies and the obedience they taught you. Flames bring destruction, they mark abolition and rebirth, join our march of rebellion and reclamation upon this earth. Our screams will echo onward through future hearts and minds, never unheard or unseen even to the deaf and to the blind. Politicians have led us into the darkest of skies, theyve made us believe in their comforting lies. It is time to rise up above the moon and the stars, to reach out and reclaim this world that is rightfuly ours. I shall rip open the heavens and allow our fury to rain down, our vengeance and blood eternally renowned. We are the shadows of heroes, always followed and forever unseen. No effort in vain no life without purpose, we are the burning screams of justice and we will not rest until theyve heard us.

3 short verses, all seperate..
Rain plummets acquiescent to a cold and barren land, falling, dancing to a melody of decay in some dreamer's master plan. Through storms we cleanse our hollow twisted sky, fabricating rainbows where angels have lost their faith to fly.
Rebirth upon a realm of tranquil storms and blinding light, existance searching... lost in the velvet disguise of night. Beneath the fading moon and every dying star... atop a burning world, I know it can't be far... it doesnt hurt to wait.
song of despair, our decay, our decree. in one hand my heart, the other debris. broken and neglected, our disease ridden sky... calling forth thunder to revive a world too heartless to die.
i like it but there are some problems i dont know how to talk about . i cant feel the poetry you know !
