Snarling Red River

Here share in the fire - you set on this earth
Time and time again
Flames creep up your fortress walls
We all burn just the same
Broken on the rapids of snarling red rivers
Of willful ignorance - bloodshed in decadence
Come to know - the heart of another
Come to know - your victim’s pain
Asleep with faith
In the shadow of misery
Awaken to the corpse in your arms
Come to cry - the tears of another
Come to know - your victim’s pain

Living the Nightfall

The structure leans
On soft ground
To topple over
Living the nightfall
It creaks in the wind
Sinks in the rain
Longs for the fire
Living the nightfall
Sighing at this altar of dust
Hide in a corner
The assurance of walls
There with a demon
Prey to an impulse
The ceiling is cracked
A light is searching
You hide in a recess
Living the nightfall
In this temple of hungry ruin
An arbor of roses
Dead in the dirt
Frozen with fear
The enemy within
Talking in circles
Giving control
Awaiting the end
Living the nightfall
Lost and slowly crawling down
Truth haunting every sound
Every silence between the lights
Will show you death in the will of life
And all that’s been is burning clean
Shedding skin in a primal scream
But does it impart, does it reveal
But does it impart, does it reveal the will to live?

Culture of Fear
04:24
|

|
The unknown, a threatening color
To the sleep in your eyes
Turning back
To retreat in fright
To a lifetime away
A conversation that went astray
Falling mute to the challenge of truth
Failing to heed
You watch the world bleed
Bleed out
Held close this culture of fear
The illusion of proof from a rotten root
Where the Silence of God
Cold in the back of your mind
Twisted and grew this poison fruit
And all you would need
To help the world bleed
Bleed out
All your knives
At your own throat

Begin Again
04:17
|

|
I rise to meet the morning sun
Retreat and rest when the day is done
Let the colors fade
And then follow - to descend
To the end - To begin again
Sometimes i’m overcome
In a quiet reflection
Meaning flashes in obscure designs
And I follow - to descend
To the end - To begin again
Climbing higher to observe the world
A mast of purpose to unfurl
As i trace each subtle relation
And then follow - to descend
To the end - To begin again
