When Shadows Burn

When Shadows Burn

When shadows burn in darkness
Death becomes nameless
Those that were entwined
become sinfully maligned
Lunar light’s been sealed
Never again to be revealed
All for greeds sake
But how much can you take
How much can we endure
Before we find the right cure
Treat us like prey
Then scream for us to obey
Level our town
And break us down
So we become hollow
With no choice but to follow
Who is willing to stand
And become the firebrand
Gods hear our cries
From blood teared eyes

Eternal Peace

Eternal Peace

I try to relax
And start to breathe
Through the upheaval
Of a soul undone
Hunted unrelentingly
By visions of past
I try to justify
And the world collides
Save me from the unrest
Where demons walk free
Destroying all in sight
Where is the blessed trinity
And the promise of salvation

I still remember clearly
The touch of swords hilt
The smell overtook me
Tortured blood and burned lives
Battle cries laid to rest
Inside my innocent soul
The flame inside
Flutters and dies
A void take control
My mind is filled with lies
Arrogant and apathetic
Destruction come to pass
By these hands alone
Leaving nothing to breath
Eternal peace for all

Dead of night

Dead Of Night

Atop the cliff I dwell alone
For my sins I must atone
Inner demons I must fight
Blood spilled in the dead of night
Out of nowhere you appear
And whisper in my ear
Of a brand new life
With you to be my wife
I say to you
Can this really be true
Destruction seems to follow me
Please just leave me be
Can't you see it in the stars
A future full of scars
You say come for a walk
There's no need to talk
A year passes by
And you say goodbye
Again I stay and suffer
Alone I walk and stagger
Consumed by my anger
Inner demons I no longer fight
Your blood spilled in the night

goodbye forever today

Goodbye Forever Today

With love so guarded
one can easily be discarded
what is it worth to me
if its not to free to be
money power and fame
thats the name of the game
you don't really believe
of the love I conceive
squandered away
as you frittered today
I lay down to sleep
and away you creep
blood soaked hands
are what you demand
but my blood inst enough
its never enough
I gave it freely anyway
good bye forever today
