Stand

I sit here listening to the voices of the past
Talking of love, hate, peace, and tyranny
From one extreme to the other
This world will rise and fall
But in the end, we will stand tall

If we rise and take our places
In the darkness of the night
Stand up and hold proud faces
We will ride victorious from the fight
So I call out to you, people of the light
Stand up and take your places
So we win this cursed fight

From waged wars of ages past
We look upon with faces torn
We run to our homes, as pain comes fast
Too scared to turn, too frightened to mourn
For all the losses of the fights before

We envy the rich but mock the poor
With dumbfounded anger, we kill only for the sight
But in good time someday, the enemy will pay
For the wrong that has been dealt us this night

We fight against the rules of the Dark Ages
Against the demons and principalities of the night
For with our hope comes the will to stand until the last
With our faith we will emerge from these mazes
And we will fight our cursed fight
Finally rid ourselves from the lethargic rule of kings long past

Against tyranny we stand
Beside peace we stand
So let the world fight unholy enemies
Arm in arm, hand in hand

For as we wait
We Will Stand

Planes of Existence

He exists, though some say he doesn’t
He is the creator, though some say no
We are created from a higher being,
Not a suspended ball of matter!

How can one explain the beginning of life
As though a small gave to become big
Growth of a society from a stupid germ
Don’t think so! Go back! Draw a new sketch!

Bring forth the word and let me show
There’s no other way than what is so
Creation from a greater entity
The only logical explanation for existence

Society’s way has too many questions
The true way has only one…
“Why is this so hard to believe?”…
Take a step back and look from a distance

To see truth – on new planes of existance

You Know Where I Lie

Sitting here listening to the sounds of nature
And the lonely view of a starless sky
I realize that my faults are my own
I can’t blame them on the world anymore

So many thoughts roam my head forcing me to cry
As I can’t find a reason for my pity
I have love, and friendship, and ability,
And everything I should need to carry on

But I can’t, I’m stuck here
Moaning because I have no visible place to go
Because I have no hope for my life

Innocence is gone from the earth
And with it taken happiness
This day began with light
Yet here, now, sojourns with death

Far From Real

Searching, thoughts in my mind
Finding, death strikes so near
Wounded, falling down again
Dying, screaming voices fill my ears

Feeling, fleeing, falling, freezing
I’m dropping to my knees
Thinking of what should have been
But for false-truths of life
Empty sorrows clothe my skin

Fleeing, falling, freezing, feeling
Covered with blackness so thick
Can’t seem to find my exit again
Stuck here in this place
Always dying to live

Falling, freezing, feeling, fleeing
Struck down by lightning
So deadly and real
Can’t seem to breathe again
My conscience has been killed

Freezing, feeling, fleeing, falling
But with my lifeline so thin
I find myself losing it all
Holding tightly to my skin
So life’s tragedies stay hid

So with life running from me
I try but know I can’t be free
If you had not forsaken me
I wouldn’t need to forget you

So Many

Stacked upon many souls
Rests the will to awaken

I’ve been down so many roads in my life
Seeking freedom yet finding only strife

Trying many ways of gaining my freedom
I just seem to grow and feed them

My pain does not dwindle when I look
I find no earthly means, but sense stuck

I trust no one with my life
Not even myself, I’d just as soon die

I blame others for my problems
Yet I know they don’t cause them

So I stay in this world lonely
Looking for a way to freedom

Stop Staring So Sorrow Stays

the world is Red around me
with sorrow in the Skies

the world is Red around me
with Falseness in our pride

step back into a deserted world
see that all we’ve Known is gone
stop staring at an empty Hole in our lives
said stop staring so sorrow stays

the world is Red around me
with Death ringing forth on high

the world is Red around me
with yearning towards all that Dies

stand here looking at a Silent world
see that all we’ve Known is gone
sell happiness to have truth in our Lives
said stop staring so sorrow stays

In The Beginning

Just causes are not simple to find
Because people abuse their right to see
Your mind twisted in a fit of
Paranoid confusion which won’t surrender itself

Don’t think that voices will free you
Mean what you think unless you want to hear
Their mindless insults that feed on your conscience
Not doing what you told it to
After you got caught running wild in the wilderness
You can’t escape from your own selfishness

Have you ever seen the way the sun dies
To send you toward a restful place you can’t
Find this seasonal release for it is hidden high up
A tremendous cavern deep into the sky will make
Way for the chosen few who seem to live
Away in a different place that no one ever leaves
From now on you’ll have to surrender your life
Here so the voices can set you free

Stand In Our Truth

Can’t deny the one true truth
Remember that life is not free
Everyday comes closer to the feeling
Every minute closer to the day
Don’t deny that truth is always right

In seeking a faceless man
Seeking becomes a torture

To find the will of a warrior
He must be tested till time won’t end
Every season knows its own rhyme

Greatness is a time earned blessing
Renowned against all that are vengeful
Each son has got a daughter
All fathers have got a son
To challenge this truth is useless
Even though some may not see the light
See that meanings are not always truthful
To me they have no fight

You

You say it’s all me.
But it’s not all me.
Why do you blame it on me?
That’s you, not me.
I have a reason from me.
Like to hear? Made by me.
Here’s the reason,.  Come by me you
are not you I am not me.
