FEED THEM TO THE LIONS
wave old tattered banners on crumbling grey marble stairs
ancient ruins sing their mourning song
tales of old glory, a whisper in the air
a stronger hand, oh what we could become
from the throne divinely ruled, oh no one can deny my claim
darkest thoughts in golden rooms, no, pawns never survive this game
they may call me heartless and cruel
I just keep my people safe
heavy head that wears the crown
oh believe I feel the weight
heavy hand comes bearing down
kiss the ring that is sealing your fate
surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
a scythe through the grain for the thiefs, crooks and the liars
for oh lord, judgement has come
Feed ‘em to the Lions
on their knees and in chains
Feed ‘em to the Lions
removing the stain
after thunder comes a bitter rain
pleading voices sing the sweetest song
lessons some will only learn through pain
a golden god is what you want
thorny roses start to bloom and crimson petals line my way
tear the weeds out by the root, a marble figure turns your way
through the blindfold she’s gazing at you
Justice wielding more than scales
heavy head that wears the crown
iron spring parts chaff from grain
heavy hand comes bearing down
fingers closing the grip tightening
surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
a scythe through the grain for the thiefs, crooks and the liars
for oh lord, judgement has come
Feed ‘em to the Lions
on their knees and in chains
Feed ‘em to the Lions
removing the stain
pray for your life
your way to atonement and to be
absolved from your crimes
your true allegiance, your intent declared
for every lamb that has been led astray
to be brought
under the reign

HYDRA
from distant lands, over trembling earth
the horizon is filled with its shape
it draws closer each day
bells are ringing, they’re closing the gates
it rears its ugly head
we are taking a stand
it don’t take much to be brave
if you know, where it’s been made
as long as the well ain’t dry
you’ll never be betrayed
steady hands unchanging minds
an enemy to slay
cut off another head
the blade in the helping hand
no land that hasn’t bled
we paint the canvas in red
raise the flag in our name
and make ‘em join the parade
cut off another head
we paint the canvas in red
walk in lockstep, falling in line
gather forces for the cavalcade
steadfast and side by side
behind virtue are promises made
it rears its ugly head
we are taking a stand
it don’t take much to be brave
if you know, where it’s been made
where it’s been made
as long as the well ain’t dry
you’ll never be betrayed
steady hands unchanging minds
an enemy to slay
cut off another head
the blade in the helping hand
no land that hasn’t bled
we paint the canvas in red
raise the flag in our name
and make ‘em join the parade
cut off another head
we paint the canvas in red
we won’t stop and it grows another head
we paint the canvas in red
the blade is staking our claim
and we break what we cannot obtain

UNSTUCK IN TIME
used to see everything glued to canvas and locked in a frame
under violet wings, in your thoughts when you sleep and you wake
time’s a treacherous thing, every moment a leaf on your vine
growing hazy and blurred, from the instant you’re crossing the line
losing focus you stand
as the maelstrom awaits
see the distances fade
as you follow the way
when you follow the way, free yourself from your shackles tonight
when you follow the way, breaking through become unstuck in time
from the start to the end, see the moments like leafs on a vine
from the start all the way, to the violet light
drifting out into space, moving weightless and clear in your sight
every choice that you make, branching out on the canvas of time
as you’re pulling away, feel the veil being drawn from your eyes
now you’re finally free, constellations perfectly aligned
losing focus you stand
as the maelstrom awaits
see the distances fade
as you follow the way
when you follow the way, free yourself from your shackles tonight
when you follow the way, breaking through become unstuck in time
from the start to the end, see the moments like leafs on a vine
from the start all the way, to the violet light

THE HARD RAIN
tremors shaking the earth
hope you’re holding on tight
coming down like the plague
fires tear the black sky
you should kneel and pray
in despair, screaming and crying
but in the back of your head
you heard for quite some time
let it crumble and fall
sinking into the fire
every castle and wall
every crime every fraud
an appropriate fate
turned to cinder and thrown on the pyre
and you call for the rain
down from above
let it all
wash away
stand laughing in the pouring rain
bear witness to the sundering
see the wicked how they try to hide
our time is over but you’re feeling fine
and on judgement day
amidst the chaos you smile
arms open praise the sky
fire brimstone let it die
let it crumble and fall
sinking into the fire
every castle and wall
every crime every fraud
an appropriate fate
turned to cinder and thrown on the pyre
and you call for the rain
down from above
let it all
wash away
oh we’re blessed by the rain
let it fall
our endeavours have failed
time to let go
hungry mouth greedy hands had to tear it down and have it all
hatred, jealousy reigned and a pride that comes before the fall
we overplayed our hand
there’s no shelter from this storm
calling out for the rain
let it all
wash away

Bells Of War

BELLS OF WAR
broken faith and broken home
the temper’s rising
feel it humming in your bones
the shells are flying
a common man ain’t hard to find
pockets full of lead
them tired bells of war keep ringing
in my head
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday
now the bodies piling high
why, they do not know
clawing over every mile
human nature shows
compassion for another time
wiser are the dead
them tired bells of war keep ringing
in my head
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday
from the grave to the urn
you can lay where you like
from above sent with grace
no need to be afraid
bells tolling they’re calling your name
claim your place, and your right
from high above they’re ringing everyday
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday
them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
don’t matter who we are, it’s killing everyday

COLD DAWN
I see light, storming the stage
shutters open, break of day
feel the waves come crashing down
I hear the sirens wail
look alive, with poise and grace
easy smiles and firm embrace
but my hands start wandering searching for a remedy
getting a taste
just a bit, ain’t nothing strange
but it’sclamoring out for more
convulsion, pleasure, pain
such a comfortable warmth
tidal wave down the spine
burning blood and freezing time
shelter me from the storm
that is howling inside
into darkness taking flight
and out, this far away
sweet silence rushing through my veins
lonely ghosts in these empty halls
until the light of day
and out, this far away
my shoulders free from every weight
but I’m feeling the creeping cold
at the light of day
open eyes, after the fall
on the ground, the angels moan
every fiber aching, grasping after any straw
go inside, open the door
echo chambers, empty halls
and the choir’s swelling
1000 voices, just one call
taking the reins
set a course, a destiny
deeper into the folds
the hunter found it’s prey
something from down
below crawls it’s way up the spine
burning blood and freezing time
caught in these iron jaws
and it’s howling inside
growing hunger feeds at night
and out, this far away
sweet silence rushing through my veins
lonely ghosts in these empty halls
until the light of day
and out, this far away
my shoulders free from every weight
but I’m feeling the creeping cold
at the light of day
and out, this far away
sweet silence rushing through my veins
lonely ghosts in these empty halls
until the light of day
and out, this far away
my shoulders free from every weight
but I’m feeling the creeping cold
at the light of day

PHOENIX
after the fall
the smoke rising up from the sand
shattered ground below
and moving a skeletal hand
you’re raising these bones
you’re shaking off the dust
breaking from the hold
the flesh beneath the crust
shivering limbs
slowly creeping towards the edge
the expanse below
a solitary star ahead
it draws you in
a tremor from the core
you can hear the call
it’s time to come back home
the palest light
is leading into the grave
your mind decays and takes you into the cold
the earth cracking open, the old world has to die
a wail from the darkness below
we crawl from the ashes moving towards the light
after the fall
your body raised
a wandering ghost
burning with new blood
the searing mark emblazed
and you leave behind
a yawning empty grave
the way inside
is paved with every mistake
a cold embrace
the spectre leaving the host
the earth cracking open, the old world has to die
a wail from the darkness below
we crawl from the ashes moving towards the light
after the fall
will we find what we’re searching, break free from the hold
or are we on a path that leads us astray
oh we shovel the dirt, we’re looking for gold
what if we have been wrong all the way
the world must be broken and cast to the flames
we crawl from the ashes remade
