Routine a blueprint for an early grave
Obligations, cumbersome
Stones around my neck
Robbed of time stripped of serenity
No moment's peace
When you're fighting for the crumbs
Tortured by the guilt of not doing enough
Crushed by the weight of expectations
Devoured by the wolves of capitalism
Jaded by the game's discouraging results
Keep moving cause the stones keep falling

Humble and strong mentor and friend
Steady mind Steady hand
Pillar of the town Stoic and decent
Protector of the people Justice of the peace
They turn to him for guidance
Cannot cope on their own
Being the human in
town of morons he’s alone
What would they do if he decided not to care?
What would they do if they were on their own?
Feeling the pressure shouldering the burden
of people who can’t wipe their own ass on their own
Colleagues are dim, assholes, buffoons
Victim of choices by so called friends
He’s been their hero too long
Patience for their feebleness has reached an end
No moment’s peace when they call
When will they learn to figure it out?
They live like they can’t live without him
He can no longer live with them
Repeat Chorus
Enough’s enough – He’ll make you pay for being dumb
He’ll have his peace, as soon as he silences the streets
Pull the shotgun off of the wall, exploding skulls, inbreds fall
Pushed over the edge by ineptitude, cleanse his mind, cleanse the neighborhood

Running for life and freedom
Gain distance with each step
I must elude my captors
And their plans forced on me
Taken from home and loved ones
Transformed to a war machine
I want to see my family
And tribe to be left in peace
I hear the iron bird coming
Eyes of light are searching for me
I duck away in the shadows
Can’t be what they want me to be
My steps are getting larger
The briars tear my skin
Using my key advantage
I know these woods so well
Gain distance from my bastards
Who mutilated me
Warped, molested, and conditioned
To meet their fighting needs
I’m huddled down in a cave
The iron birds have passed me by
Heading to the woods where I was raised
Moving towards the fire light
My brothers and sisters
It’s great to see your faces
No time for conversation
Nor time for your embraces
There is and evil horde about
And it hounds my every move
We could stand and fight them
But I assure you friends, we’ll lose
Be purposed for their wars
So they perverted me
Snatched from my home
Invaded by technology
They are on their way
They will do the same to you
So grab you kin and scatted
Seconds are all too few
The fog… Brothers and sisters are falling
Sleeping… Iron bird carriage eternal
The fog… Iron wings lovingly hold me
Cocoon… The fog has shrouded my mind
The Cryptid and the Iron Bird
The Cryptid and the Iron Bird

Brainstorm

Woe…feeling low
Misery…feeding me
Dole…gallows pole
Gloom…blackened room
My endeavor will last forever
Struggling to feel elation
Despondency and paralysis
Want for heart and contentment
Sorrow…all I know
Desolation…feel numb
Sadness…care less
Desperate…to forget
My endeavor will last forever
Struggling to see salvation
Despondency and hopelessness
Want for feeling tranquility
This purging of unhappiness
Lifting off of my consciousness
Helping to see a clearer path
Find existence to be worthy

Go Murder, Pray, And Die
02:11

Onward Christian soldiers, duties way is plain
Slay your Christian neighbors, or by them you’ll be slain
The pulpiters are spouting their effervescent swill
God above is calling you to rob, rape, and kill
All your acts are sanctified, by the lamb oh high
If you love your holy ghost, go murder, pray, and die
Go murder, pray, and die for your life’s sake
Go murder, pray, and die it’s the choice for you to make
Go murder, pray, and die it’s your duty it’s your call
Go murder, pray, and die your humanity will fall
Throughout history’s past, it’s always been the same
Taking lives from others, in your false lord’s name
If your beliefs and convictions, are so true and strong
Why don’t your clouded eyes, see what you do is wrong?
You say our worlds at end, you say it’s drawing nigh
You must help bring it about, so go murder, pray, and die
Repeat chorus
Repeat 1st verse

Inferno
Aimless… Hopelessly lost
In the middle of my life
Drifting and despondent
No center no direction
Loss has rendered me lost
The love that escaped my grasp
Now alone in a world so dark
Confronted with Leopard, Lion, and Wolf
Searching to find the long-lost light
Necessitates a trek through time and after life
With poet by my side message at the gates
“Abandon all hope ye who enter here”
Virtuous pagans of Elysian Fields, the godless damned
Lost souls in their homes dwelling in hell, hurled by Minos
Lustful sinners being tossed around by winds of Hades
Gluttonous heathens pelted by ice
Eternal burden the greedy man’s stone
Hideous wretches writhing in anguish
Down in the depths I empathize
I must endure my journey mired in pain, still I go on
To see my lost love again face the sadness, sink in the pit
The pain of wrathful sinners seems to mirror my own
Grasping for hope among the hopeless
I need a light to pull me through
Seeing their pain, a horrific weight
Do I deserve the same as them?
Stench of molten flesh
Hellish winds make me wretch
Guide and I are trudging forward
Among these damned for pride
Repentless sins of the Lion
Never do they go unpunished
I turn the question inward
Will this be my fate?
Spiraling down to the core
Cold hard winds chill our souls
Terrified I descend
Fallen angel waits in the center of hell
On Grayson’s back we descend
Into a dismal icy din
Appalled at what I see
Faces wrought with misery
Damned are trapped in frozen layers
Cold dwellings for hideous sinners
Walk the most inward circle
To the core of hell
Lucifer flaps his wings
Sinners of the wolf
I can’t look away from
The face of SATAN
Paradise
Wrap my mind around a quest, internal questions
Through the fire and the ice, terrible confusion
Frightened and shaken, but not without hope
I found my love in paradise
Go walk with Beatrice to see God
Eunoe and Lethe washed me clean
I can stay and be guided
In the sphere of the moon
Angels who once were humans
Souls full of love and folly
Saved by the merciful light
I must find the source of love
The light that guides us
Am I worthy of the light?
Can I see it?
Through the sphere of Mercury
Ambitious but good-hearted souls
Lovers in the sphere of Venus
With desires like my own
Profound philosophies
Imperfect just the same
Have been given loving refuge
Because they believed in the light
Love is why I seek you
I find that love’s divine
I’m asking can it be true?
Does love mean seeing the light?
Moving toward the empyreal light and angels all around me
Am I worthy to see God?
Seeing their lost souls in Hell remind me of my own transgressions
Too impure to see the light
Can my quest for love be enough to grant me my mercy?
I’m in awe and afraid
Beatrice hold my hand show me to the source of goodness
I’m like one who sees in dream
Dream is gone an impression remains
Nothing comes to mind again
Vision fails, sweetness born
Still distills inside my heart
Love that moves sun and stars
Searching for love and finding light
Searching for light and finding love
If God is love and God is light
Do we become God when we love?
The quest for light is divine
When we love are we then light?
