But now to ending lies my soulFalling from the blackness
I feel the blood drip from my
Head beside me - I see a pool of
Desperation fading
And I’m not waking from
A passing reason
Why I could not just kill myself
This transcendent being
A fake to king and eyes
Fourteen years of breathing
The Lies of suffered consequence
Take this fractured, freezing
Despondent heart of empty solder
A treasured message
A failing soul of dust and water
Killing rest won’t testify
Bleeding thoughts can’t justify
Wandering through my sullen dreams
From where the dark and demons lie
This fitting end is listless
Another freedom left to charge
Everything we know is lost
Redefine my meaning
And separate my faults
Fortify and separate
My limitless regrets
Reconciliation
To claim what’s never been
Next to none we walk aside
Until we never spend
Another day in hell
Recreate the message
To bring the bleeding home
Redesign the picturesque
Betrayal of my soul
Capture second hungers
And bring them to the sun
Remorse and sorrow break the bars
Til vacant dreams are lost
Killing rest won’t testify
Bleeding thoughts can’t justify
Wandering through my sullen dreams
From where the dark and demons lie
This fitting end is listless
Another freedom left to charge
But now to ending lies my soul
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Is fucking lost

Under The Hunter's Blade
07:33
|

Deep in the forest at twilight
A new kind of meaning is born
Sharpen your senses and arrows
A Kill to be rightfully worn
Shadows are cast in the moonlight
And silence befalls on the land
Desperate for blood and the sacrifice
To snatch life from All-Mother’s hand
Wander and drift through the branches and leaves
Tread like the wind blowing flowers and trees
Hunt your demise with the blade as your eyes
Bleed your disdain while serenity dies
No footsteps signal the coming of Death
Freezing my body and chilling my breath
Head to the north with the stars as his guide
Seeking a point where the spirits collide
I will return to the mountain
To take what is mine
I will reclaim my vacant throne
With fire divine
My eye sees a flickering shadow
And movement beyond in the brush
Slowly approaching my prey and his life
To end by my swift vacant touch
This blade of mine and this fire divine
Will test me until I ascend
Battered and beaten and fallen to ashes
I break and my spirit will bend
The moonlight is lighting my pathway
And sends for a beckoning cry
The reaper has come to collect once again
And treasure the life that will die.
I have returned to the mountain
To claim what is mine
I will reclaim my vacant throne
With fire divine
This final chapter of a life
Still broken and shattered
Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness
To chase what has mattered.
Beckoning to darkness
My prey now abides
Quickly transcending
With a stroke of my impudence
It dies.
The river of life from the neck wound
Flows steadily over my hands
And covers me now in the essence
Like oceans wash over the sands.
Seeking my solace in crimson remorse
Negligence hiding a revenant source
Blessings through bleeding and vengeance entwine
Fleeting the love of the chase be to thine.
I am silent as the whispering breeze
I now do know that which lives in the trees
Vacant my heart is to burn for you well
Set free my spirit from this earthly hell.
I have returned to the mountain
To claim what is mine
I have reclaimed my vacant throne
With fire divine
This final chapter of a life
Still broken and shattered
Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness
To chase what has mattered.

Seven miles from nowhere
A young boy pardoned to the mountains
Feelings left abandoned
Now slaved and captive to the cultists
Religious fingerprinting
Decodes humanity within him
Isolates in silence
Prepare the life to be protected
-
I know not what evil I have done to earn this sorrow
I am lost in my own mind
Be present at our table Lord, my spirit’s beaten, black, and scorned
Again
-
Hear me father for I’m desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance, another day, another brave mistake
-
Walk the halls of ‘normal’
Segregated by the living
Cast aside from life and death
Seeking solace in my shadows
-
Something’s missing from this place in turn to feed this hunger
Something’s never gone away
Something’s wrong with me in ways that no one’s understanding
I’m all alone
Hear me father for I’m desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance to make me stay
-
Now I hear that those in like are slowly dying
Alone and cold and faded flames
The friends I never knew were still called home in sorrow
So now, departed, in all my pain, in all my love I sing this song for you
-
Another vacant soul departed
Another candle lit today
Another victim claimed by hills of mourning left unbounded
Let us murder, let us pray.
Hear me father for I’m desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance, another day, another brave mistake

Path Of The Nomad
04:59
|
|||
I’ve followed the path of my Exile
And I’ve left my whole world behind
Followed the road of descendants
And traveled the world over time
No ties to be drawn by my morals
No lives to be broken by mine
I’m bound by my word and the consequences
Of walking my pathway divine
I am
A shadow
Passing through worlds as a ghost
I am
A nomad
Covered by mud and by dust
Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse
I wander this place all alone
Sacrifice all to be free of the world
This pain in my heart never shown
All I have owned is carried by hand
I walk with my elders of old
No family or loved ones to warm me at night
No hearthstone to break from the cold
Tonight
I travel
Where wind at my back pushes on
Tonight
I strengthen
Letting my weaknesses go
Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse
I wander this place all alone
Sacrifice all to be free of the world
This pain in my heart never shown
At nightfall the eyes of the cosmos will shine
I lie under stars and behold
A life without tether to worldly possessions
But riches I still have and hold.
I am alive
Behind me I follow the path of my ancestors
Walking to nowhere tonight
So shall I die
Never to know the value of oneness
Or know where my head to lie?
Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse
I wander this place all alone
Sacrifice all to be free of the world
This pain in my heart never shown
At nightfall the eyes of the cosmos will shine
I lie under stars and behold
A life without tether to worldly possessions
But riches I still have and hold.

Diary Of A War Dog

GO
Baited Breath
Melting Flesh
Raining Flame
Awaiting Death
I cannot begin to describe the horrors that I have seen
Contemplating decisions made and what life might have been
Break in the silence, Beginning the violence Falling to the ground
Looking to the sky
To save me from this Apocalypse
Now
Human Beings
Ripped Apart
Asunder
Become Numb
There is no escape from
The plague in my head
Visions of loss; voices of the dead
Endless Days, Sleepless nights
Left alone with all of my
Memories
That Darken the corners of my mind
Descending deeper into
Madness
One Day closer to the End
Fading from this conscious hell
I Try to bury them deep in my mind
Pushing them down to the depths of my soul
Haunting visions from another time
Demons that won’t let me go
I can still remember all of their faces
The look in their eyes when they died
The sound of their voices are still haunting me
There is no way to escape these
Memories that darken the corners of my mind
Descending deeper into
Madness
One day closer to the ending
Fading from this conscious hell

Veil Of The Reaper
04:37
|
|||
Darkness clouds my eyes tonight while coldness drowns my fears
Softly spoken whispered words while blinded by my tears
Years of sorrow, wasted nothings fall into the black
I’ve gone too far and now it’s clear I’m never turning back
Can’t recall the last I saw but now it’s faded gray
Vanities begin to fade in silence waste away
Before me stands the shroud of Death and with an outstretched hand
He beckons me to leave behind my memories and land.
I have become the cold and lost
Sleep now my spirit; fade to dust
The mystery of life is lifted
The path of death to all is gifted.
Chorus:
We are forever cursed to guide into the fray
We are the chosen ones to signal death of day
For now and ever more this wretched sin abides
To follow mourning path until the daylight dies
We are forever cursed to guide into the fray
We are the chosen ones to signal death of day
For now and ever more this wretched sin abides
To follow mourning path until the daylight dies
Until the daylight dies
