THE UNSEEN Do you believe in me; I don't think you can A mind too small to see, through the obvious... Unperiled extremes of inner fright Blocked from view of unborn sight Of things not whole and yet complete Of all things that are seen and unseen You mock you stand so tall; where is the need You beg ; You lose ; You crawl, Once it hits the Hour of darkness falls upon you now It's time to believe somehow The voice of anguish closes in If I'd have listened, I might never have been Vile misconceptions Prey upon your thoughts of corruption See it stand so tall Blatant and unforgiving Is what you are Faith in the darkness Alone I stand, in mind Can't turn back time Your world; Your Dreams; Your life, all for nothing... But there is joy and peace to be Splendour built in harmony I can't live my life to what's been I dream alone in thoughts of the unseen A WAYFARER'S TALE Hear me now, my tale to be told Of dreams of greed and sins of old The tide breaks calm and closes in The sails catch wind my tale begins... Journey out to sea, Lust and greed follow me Ride the path to shame, Winds of deceit call my name Shipwreck of centuries old, Festival of long dead gold Innocents not long on life, But long to die for my pleasure Ahead lies the monstrosity Unveiled in glory for me to see So sad a fate so many should die But no more deserved for one such as I Footstep through the dread, Torn limbs and flesh now shred Gather together the jewels, From this ship of fools More lost souls rise from the depths of the sea And surround me on the shore "Gamble your soul for this chest of gold Or dwell with us now and forever more" I grab for life, a run for gold The wind's with me, the sails take hold I am the man, Who cheated death With new found wealth, and tainted breath I hear the limbs scrape below Life breaks surface with death in tow And now I've learned too late to see I dwell below for now and eternity IF THEY WOULD CUT MY THROAT OUT... (instrumental) MISGIVINGS Out of the blackness Comes the saving light Lifts me on wings To a dizzying height I can't believe it I know I need it Revel in feelings Of borrowed time Taking for granted The things I thought were mine Time is coming near The day that I fear It's just a matter of time You give me feelings I can't replace Inevitable way Darkness has its day Like a child to the grave My future is paved All I can do is wait...
SOULROT I can't right my course Could it be any worse? Don't want to be, A slave to monotony A life without a dream is living a wasted life No dream, no hope, no time, no wife The longer the wait, the more the hesitancy Must get away soon or this place is the end of me Ambition, Complacency Half full , Half empty The watchful eyes, have guided me But now is the time, to be free Optimism, my dear friend Our life is mine, until the end Complicated course What could be the source Don't want to think, Just want to sleep Something calling and bringing me back again Sounds like music, who cares how and when A road less traveled that some can't find Don't look at me because the answer's inside Relations, Strained Half empty, Half drained NOT WHAT IT SEEMS You pretend to be my friend But you can't make that which isn't real You fill your mind with facts But you will never get the feel It's not quite right You're not what you seem One part false Two parts obscene Back stabbing hypocrite Won't let you scandalize my name You want my confidence But no two things you say are ever the same You're not quite right It's not what it seems Social status Human obscene Yours is no sacrifice It's all a worthless slice Of conversation for the day Mine is paradise Upon which there is no price Of that you mock and betray And you're telling me What it is I need I don't have a clue How can you? I know what's real Or at least I can feel Vengeance is mine In due time PENANCE Sit and watch the world, I contemplate Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate Is man of God or just Nature's folly Still with intelligence, we all are crawling One step forward and two steps back Bring man's destined descent into black What does existence hold for me A mutation of what man conceives Did you ever step back and look at yourself You might not like what you see And with each dawn that brings a new day's breath For most it means life, but for me it means death Man is a paradox drowning in irony The world is chained to man's reality Can't you see It wasn't meant to be Not you or me Humanity......You're killing me
