Veins Marked with lashings, Flesh scarred by thrashings A nothing hero makes his way beyond the curtain
Time passed standing still. Raise your fist - time to kill Evil name on our lips; we are the lions, unleashed
Cast a stone through an eye of the eagle Lay your wares into his chest
Pluck the feathers from the wings of a bastard Lay his beast to rest
The bleachers roar with fervor, so much life - so much murder It takes one digit to set this nation free
Our feast under the sun. Punishment for the sake of fun! He lays his arms to the ground for the world to see
Cast a stone through an eye of the eagle Lay your wares into his chest
Pluck the feathers from the wings of a bastard Lay his beast to rest
sup upon boiled pain
peel the rind and begin again from these hearts to your fall place yourself across this maw
Sending the jaws of the beast on the fowl…

Men Become Gods

Fires burn and images dance
Rusty paint smears across the sky
The shaman dabbles in his magic
Wakes the winged serpent sleeping in his eye
His heart pounds; a life giving stone
His blood weep but dare not lift a finger Titans looms against all horizons
The tree of life plants its roots in his flesh
See the stars swirling by – ascension in the blink of an eye
A single breath that will last forever
This is where Men Become Gods
A stones plants its seed in my chest - branches stain this altar of death Laid to rest at the footsteps
This is where Men Become Gods
His chest agape as the rain dances Pouring not from the sky but from a slab For the equinox, the serpent’s emergence, This pale faced god will never betray

Ice & Fire

In the midst of decay I stand beside myself Surveying this pit that once was home Clouds gather and wail, weeping agony Mocking their call, I am alone
Force fed the power of darkness With the strength of those that fell Aligned with the forces of vengeance I will bring my oppressors hell and
Rain! Sheets of Ice & Fire
Abandoned trenches whisper their secrets in my ear Impressions remain where once they prayed Palpable terror permeates my being here
Now I mute their words this glorious day
Force fed the power of darkness With the strength of those that fell Aligned with the forces of vengeance I will bring my oppressors hell and
Rain! Sheets of Ice & Fire
This transformation
A precious circle
A band around our throats My evolution devolving into This reign of Ice & Fire

Crimson Dichotomy

I wasn't but now I am
A single point that disappears
Only to reincarnate
As the blackest spot upon men's souls You cannot pray me away
For prey cannot pry this grip from its throat My fingers rend your virtue
And from its pulp can mold your sins
Beg to the sky - pray for your savior
To find I am your rapture
There are two sides - a light to my darkness That dwells far from here
I am and I will be
A thousand points that blind even the light Only to give vision
Of what my purpose truly has been
Beg for forgiveness
Refuse to learn from past trespasses
To the darkness we ride
On blazing steeds of crimson reverence
Beg to the sky - wait for your savior
To find I am your rapture
There are two sides - a light to my darkness That dwells far from here
Why should I do harm upon you
When so well you do it yourselves?
Name your grace and I will crown you
Raise your scepter and I will brand you Choose your throne and all will bow before you But speak with my tongue lest I destroy you
You weren't but now we be
The blackness of time lingers with emptiness Painless Nirvana
Embraces your heart with the fullest of nothingness Light or the void
It is up to your blade to decide the victor
This manmade dichotomy
Crumbles away now the ends are the same
