Bastion of Hope

Water cascades down,
Over moss smothered cobblestone.
When tears cease to fall,
Sun lights our humble zone.
Our spirit flows free here,
And hate is expelled.
For outside this abode
lies repent and decay.
Lead by the abysmal,
And governed by force,
The ever expanding masses
Fall before their false messiahs.
Against them all,
we will stand tall.
In our Bastion
Of Hope.
You won’t take from me,
what is is you can’t see.
And they won’t steal away,
our sun, and light of day.
We will not conceal,
what you may never feel.
The blind man, shall lead the blind,
through the shadows of narrow mind.

Eye of the Storm

Fate holds the strings to my life
It Is a harsh reality
What will become of the unknown?
Can I do this on my own?
A thunderous crack, a battle horn,
An imminent sign, a cause for warn
The armies approach us now,
We must win but I don’t know how.
The winds batter at my door,
With nature we are at war.
My next step could meet demise
Don’t let them win, by surprise
A continuous struggle we must fight.
With the little we have, we just might,
Live to see another day,
Live to fight, another day
With fear and panic at every turn
From what disaster will we learn?
That the forces of Gaia are fierce?
Homes destroyed and our hearts are pierced.
Left to pick up the pieces,
Those who show me a wall, I shall despise
Our struggle ends with the break of light,
But the scars on our skin will show for life.

Black Hole

I’m not trying to disconnect.
But leave me alone
I’m a lost soul
In this Black Hole.
And it all seems warped this close.
I’ll still be here,
But not truly there,
You won’t understand.
You stare so blankly as I freeze.
And it pulls me in,
This is the end,
Goodbye my friend!

The Line

New dawn brings, yet another day
And you’re feeling like you’ve been led astray.
The same old song, the same old dance,
Your will is fading, with every glance.
You have no money, you have no home,
Or perhaps the world’s left you alone.
Whatever the story, no matter the case,
You still have your pride and the pain in your face
And if life isn’t what they said it would be,
Or it feels like you have no control.
And if what you knew, of yourself, and what you hold inside,
Was a block long left behind,
With us all, you’re walking the line.
And as you drift away into the years,
From the pain you hold back the tears.
All of the times you were brought down, neglected, kicked around
But the deepest scars beckon this scene,
As you weep for fading dreams.
And you’re too far along to turn back around
Somewhere in no place, you got lost.
Born a clean slate, your virgin pages began to fill.
A scripture to mimic your mold,
But not by you, this story is told.
When the darkened clouds linger in the sky,
And the bad news brings no tear to your eye.
When the room you’re in turns to grey.
The machine is ripping your soul away.
When the dear and close leave you behind,
A new meaning of life is yours to find.
When you look into the mirror you will see,
It’s no longer your face but something obscene.

Never I'll see the Sun

A tale of a young girl, on the left, from planet Earth.
Her Father stayed at home, and her Mother passed with birth
The memories of her ruined planet loom inside her brain.
And she prays to feel the warmth of the shining sun again.
Once in a life time friends, The sun shall show her face.
The one that came from Earth, felt everyday her warm embrace.
The others with such pale skin, and colourless lips they scoured,
And locked her in the closet, her prison for all the hours.
Where is the Earth girl? I hear you say,
I was here in the closet, they locked me away.
I may be an outsider, a stranger and unknown,
But do you really think I don’t already, feel disowned?
My poor mother passed, just as I was born.
And my father too upset, to see the new dawn,
I don’t understand, but now that it’s done.
Never I’ll know the memories, and Never, Never I’ll see The Sun.
Never will I see
Never will I know
Always, I will dream
Never, never ill see the sun!

What is there to Lose
04:45
|

Fabled archer takes from them such goods the weak require.
Crush his skull and take his family, thieving lowly liar.
But in this land it’s what you give is what you shall receive.
How the big man has it all is what you won’t believe.
What is there to lose, when all you had is gone?
The world still spins around you as you fall to your knees and crawl.
Desire is in your eyes, but all you see is lies.
They stare into your black soul; soon they’ll reap you of that too.
A short boy with the buck teeth and exhausted parent shakes.
The rich kid with the braces taunts the poor boy, bad mistake
Stand up for yourself young man; the rich kid hits the ground,
A lowly dog the poor boys title, send him to the pound.
What is there to lose, when all you had is gone?
The world still spins around you as you fall to your knees and crawl.
Desire is in your eyes, but all you see is lies.
They stare into your black soul; soon they’ll reap you of that too.
A frail man sits below a bridge, as wilful as he’s starved
You can go home, but you can’t stay here, now try the boulevard.
Leave him be you heartless stone; now be off on your way.
This man’s case is full of space, but he don’t need your wares today.

Here I go, leave it all in my wake
I will soon return, may the days turn to years
The sun will shine, shine on as it does
Farewell now, all that I've known
Home, I wanted to go home
Look upon me, do I differ from before?
With my return, I feel no more secure
And is it true, is this the world I knew
Is this my home, will I ever find my place?
Home, I wanted to go home
Tears fall down, as I raise my head
When I travel on, I must find my way
The sun will shine, shine on as it does
Is this my home? or am I better off alone?
Home, I wanted to go home
Home

The Product

Now here you stand
With the sense of lost hope
With a vengeance to demand
Without the will to cope
You stare at the wall
Cover your eyes and face
How far did you fall
To become of this place?
The life that you live
Like a sheep in a line
Reflects back on us all
Till the day that we die
The hammers and drills
Those presses and gear
The filled our minds
With the same cold fears
Your life is a lie
It’s now you realize
This isn’t who you are
Or who you ought to be
You’re merely the product
Trapped until the bell tolls
Inside our defaced realm
You were drained of your soul
Your red, firing eyes
Grow damp from the tears
As you stare into a
star ridden moonlit sky
You cry out loud
Into this divine light
It soon becomes clear
Against its ways you must fight!
