New Dawn

I’m at the point where I can do what I feel
But I can’t break away - these things are still real
I recreate as I hold on
Re-animate as I burn long

Into my eyes - come take a long hard look
There’s no disguising it - I’ve known what it took
I recreate as I hold on
Re-animate as I burn long

New dawn brings me all I need
New dawn gives me all

Slave No More

Slowly drowning thru my own abuse
Nothing changes anymore
Thought I’d taste the freedom long ago
Not the man I was before

Slave no more
Slave no more

Hold that bottle as I start to sink - comatose and fading slow
One more time I always tell myself
Dragged down by the undertow

Angel’s Wings

The energy inside - the damage I can’t hide
Got me by the throat as I become another slave
This angel’s wings still growing form the cradle to the grave

An attitude exhumed

The poison I’ve consumed - an attitude exhumed
Carry me back to a place I once loved - nothing below me
It’s all up above

Please take me back to the place that I love
Dirt underneath me but light up above

Destroy what’s in your way and never lose love for yourself
Control your everyday and never lose love for yourself

Coming Down

I’ve felt lost before
I don’t want you suffering anymore
But it can’t feel right using day and night
And I hope that you’ll soon find your way

The walls are closing in on you
Your world is coming down on you
Going down - the walls are closing in on you
Now watch your whole world pass by you

How much time is left before you’re not craving it anymore
Still the smell comes thru - it’s killing you
That disease you’ve got won’t wash away

The walls are closing in on you
Your world is coming down on you
Going down - the walls are closing in on you
Now watch your whole world pass by you
Coming down
... told me not to look into the eyes of the sun

Fall Back To Zero

Fall back to zero - come back to life

You can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down

That light ahead has always shown the way
That voice above is why I’m here today

Take all my sorrow - leave all my love
You can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down

That light ahead has always shown the way
That voice above is why I’m here today

A better life has grown from all the pain
A stronger mind is what I long to gain

Underworld

I got a call to rule the underworld - that passion burns in me
I’ve got a gift and a commanding mind - my faith will set me free

Stand before me now - take what I give and you will make it back

There ain’t a law - there ain’t a reason why
No man should feel that hurt
What’s in your heart should be enough for you
- believe in what you’re worth
Forget the past - forget the negative
Just crush what brings you down
Be merciless in your awakening
- accept the things you’ve found

Release that hold
- take all you’ve known
Release that hold
- that world is gone

Dead Sun

Releasing the hatred of enemies - lost friends
You give me a smile for some sympathy
I can’t hide it now
A tribute to man’s doubt in loyalty - it’s long gone
You talk about honor then spit on me
I won’t hold it

Cold, dead, sun I feel
Love for you is gone

The deep ugly scars that you’ve given me
- they won’t die -
The need to forgive is haunting me
I must give in

Holding Something

It’s beautiful - so far beyond real
Colliding worlds - regaining my feel
Beneath myself - the answers I hold
My inner strength begins to unfold

Holding something -
Never lose my grip

This war I’ve waged is so far from thru -
For decades now - It’s all I can do
I’ve learned to live and how to survive
- undying will that keeps me alive

Moon

I still hear your voice calling my name
I still see you smile
Childhood memories never will fade
At last now you’re free

And you’ve finally gone home
You’re home

I hope you can see all of my pain
My tears burn my eyes
I pray that you feel all of my love
At last now you’re free

This loss leaves me cold - hollow inside
In time we’ll embrace
At last now you’re home

The Violent Reaction

The eyes of God are looking down
His tears - they flood the earth
Reality’s an awful truth - as mankind self destructs

The violent reaction - the ever growing fear

The gravity it pulls us down
An unrelenting force

A lesson learned in ignorance
A wasteland of broken bones

The violent reaction - a mess of human debris
The loss of direction
The evergrowing fear

The eyes of God are looking down
His tears - they flood the earth

The eyes of God

Lifesblood

A thousand nights thru countless years
Still echoing in my ears
Envisioning so many more
Desire burns for evermore

Beneath this skin there lies a man
Upon the cross with nails in hand
The crimson pool that lies below
Forever feeds the embers glow
