Her web of lies is gossamer; ethereal She is war, famine, pestilence and blight... “Is my debt yet paid Has my soul been saved? The road that death has paved Is degradation to my name “ She keeps a pale horse underneath her Forlorn and lonely is her plight She is gods unholy reaper who’s unearthly sadness fuels her might. Her hood is pulled high to hide her beauty she rolls her eyes back to white she is gods unholy reaper A scale in one hand, in the other, a scythe... AND I AM LEFT WITH WHAT IS LEFT AND WHAT I’M LEFT WITH IS DEATH

Confession 05:47
This is my confession I have lost all of my friends I've lost more than that And I don't know if I can get it back I've gone off the deep end Can't seem to find my way home A broken man confides Choking out a long bitter goodbye This is my diary My sonnet my symphony All my fears I can find in thee My blood, my sweat, my tyranny You would need my eyes If you were to see That I am just me Not the demon you made me to be Why weeps the willow A sadness in the root says i A smoky diary that billows A cloud of sorrow with each sigh

Croweater 06:25
Dark wings cast a shadow And a field of darkness grows Spreading wings out over sorrow My only choice is to eat the crow Born of broken oaths Bourne away on broken oak This old shield is turning over Staining red upon the clover The battlefield quiets Like a lull in a song I was always the shield they were breaking upon --- The giant has fallen And left me alone But I'm building my throne from What's left of its bones Some would call this murder Others know it's the only way I'm steeped in the blood of brothers A stain that won't seem to wash away All these Crimson spattered feathers Blow forlorn amongst the heather Dark wings circle over A long shadow growing older I'll make the mountains weep The watered earth then will heave And give back the planted seed Yeah

Uprising 04:14
As you believe you know What fool mercy were we shown And you dare to make a stand And point at me with crimson hands On a quiet cobbled street That was slightly out of reach Tears can’t wash away the blood A poor attempt to keep it clean I’ve known it all along I could feel it in my bones A slow and subtle building A long fuse that’s end is nearing The devils grinning wide Too arrogant to run and hide I can feel it in my bones This is where we come home I SEETHE WITH RAGE AND HATE AT ALL THAT YOU BELIEVE BELIEVE WITH ALL AT STAKE WE CAN’T AFFORD DEFEAT Where was hope when we were suffering so dearly? You are a plague Now our eyes are seeing clearly? selling new hope or fraud – pretender slight of hand - slavery vender we line up 50,000 strong or stronger a silent death day growing ever longer both sides are rolling eyes the puppetmasters spew thier lies against the press of marching ides RISE! RISE! RISEEEE!!!!

The silent way your eyes light up with the stormy sky My mouth is like the desert I thirst for something that can only mean goodbye...and I'm on my way Hot house sweat, beating down your brow The atomic age set you down Half forgotten truths, swirl like paint Oil and water, the same way the blood will make you faint Lips worn thin like the atmosphere There are holes in the cosmos Everything seems fragile like the bones of birds...and Opened your mouth and said those familiar words AN ECHO IN THE BONE, THE GNASHING OF MY TEETH, WITH EVERY WAKING MOMENT, I'M FINDING IT HARDER AND HARDER TO BREATHE
6.
In a dirty hovel forced to live away from where she loves wouldn't ask for this never would she ask for this along the muddy road less traveled she drinks from fountains of melted snow wouldn't ask for this never would she ask for this Don't you take for granted all the lies you tell yourself and if you do, you risk returning all the secrets that you've kept she won't ask forgiveness she's done nothing wrong but in the night air shes burning shes'll be burning all night long TIME WILL NOT RESCUE YOU OLD SCARS WILL BEGIN TO ITCH AND WHEN THEY DO YOU'LL BURN THE WITCH
