I broke out of prison when I was seventeen
Lookin’ hard at the world, I was feelin’ mean
I tried to find the life I wanted out on the streets
The way I took wasn’t easy, in fact it was obscene
Ridin’ hard down the road for something
that’s just out of reach
I can’t tell what’s up ahead, and can’t return
from where I leave
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
I’m older now but lost as ever, still trying
to find that life
Around the bend I know it’s there, it’s just out of sight
By this time next year baby, I’ll be doin’ alright
It’s what I tell myself everyday, it’s the thing
that pulls me through the night
I take one step forward baby, feels like two steps back
But when I get to where I’m going ,
I’m never, ever gonna look back
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away

I ride the pale blue moon,
I left the memories to the dead.
Forgotten all that was, it burns a hole into my head.
Inspiring what was lost, I gotta give it all away.
Inspiring all that's good, Now I'll save it all today.
I'll ride the monolith, upon the memories of the dead.
I'd leave it all to you, but the ending's what I dread.
You know what once was lost, but can you give it all away?
Remembering all those years,
I want to save our souls my way.
I'd give the earth to you just to say.
I'd give the moon to you just to say.
I'd give the sun to you just to say.
I'd give in, everything

Nice and easy the horizon grows
A rising star is here to fight shadows
It glows it glows
Delighting vision that enlights the blind
With eyes on fire while inside his mind
He knows he knows
See the sun rising over to you
See the sun rising over to you
Take me to heaven forever anew

I survive on the scraps you don't burn
Maybe love's something I'll never learn
This whole house of cards crumbling slow
If I disappear, would you even know?
The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive
The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive
So far under hell
Fought hard where I fell
Now forever dwell
So far under...
So far under hell
Too much pain to tell
And now I'm ripped asunder
So far under...
All my words sucked straight into the void
Same black hole where my heart was destroyed
The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive
The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive
So far under hell
Fought hard where I fell
Now forever dwell
So far under...
So far under hell
Too much pain to tell
And now I'm ripped asunder
So far under...
So far under hell
Fought hard where I fell
Now forever dwell
So far under...
So far under hell
Too much pain to tell
And now I'm ripped asunder
So far under...

Days are getting shorter - nights are growing cold
The season has its order - time the clock unfolds
Streams of silver water - rusty dreams of gold
Like a distant memory - nostalgic days of old
All a certain chemistry - in spirit and the soul
Mystic little part of me - the cycle as a whole
The sky it is a-changing - Orion’s back around
Colors rearranging - fall upon the ground
Reflective mesmerizing - crisper, clearer sounds
Caught within the flavor - of Mother Nature’s way
All a part of all of us - from birth to flesh decay
Each, each other's savior - in tomorrow’s yesterday
(September 22nd 11:44:18 * 2008)

Out on the streets, I'm stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill, but it doesn't seem right
Something there I can't believe in
Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them, I can hear them
Vanishing memories of the things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now...
But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
Always creeping up on you
Alright...
Taught by the powers that preach over me
I can hear their empty reasons
I wouldn't listen, I learned how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason
But just like the wounded, and when it's too late
They'll remember, they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now...
But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
Nothing that you can do
Just a shot in the dark
Always creeping up on you
Alright...!
But just like the wounded, and when it's too late
They'll remember, they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now...
But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
Nothing that you can do
Just a shot in the dark
Always creeping up on you...

It's cerebrial vandalizm
Hanging from the edge
It's caterwauling vacancy
You're the impending gleam now
You're the most amazing example
Of tricks of light on the toy store shelf
You're the endless river of magic subconscious
Fantasies following compulsion of self
The tarnished glass doll levitates
Precariously inside the window box
And her spun gold hair shatters in the logical air
And falls like dust whenever she talks
Somewhere out there, a motorcycle tearing up
The desert in malpracticed highway lines
There's a fist lodged in the sky tonight
And these legs have been wrapped up a million times
And she falls like dust in through my window
She's got a space where she can still breathe in stereo
A notch cut in a tree, a downed fighter pilot
Is watching the tide take his reflections away
I've heard you speak of the unseen guns
But a lady never tells
We watch with vacant eyes as the fire runs
But in here it's cold as Hell...
It's in the elevator shaft
Like a cyst breeding carbon
It's in the bottom dresser drawer next to
The pictures of with whom this all began
And making love to her was like
Sitting down to breakfast inside a laundromat
And we would swim at night
With silhouettes watching us act like cats
Hanging off the wall an inch above the water
Rolling downhill in the sand with Ginsberg's daughter
The elevator shaft lined with magic marker
It never was, never will, never could, never should
Come to grey-blue, it's pulling through, it's mine too
But you are not the one I've lied to
I could spread like fire in the hills
And watch your trust seep under the door
And you'll decide not to decide
I'll probably never even meet you and thus, no mirrors collide
You'll find me throwing rocks at the sunlight
I'll jab holes in the lid of the jar
So you can get some fresh air in there
The fighter pilot's mastering a suntan
Leonard Nimoy's really just the Sandman
All your books are just a gesture of futility
All my words are spitting out like busted teeth
I've heard you speak of the unseen guns
But a lady never tells
We watch with vacant eyes as the fire runs
But in here it's cold as Hell...
You're a beautiful lie
The vanities of a thousand strangers
Swirling in the air tonight
And the heat crystallized the saliva
Soft and warm inside her mouth
And the paratroopers waiting on the seashore
Changing money and lists of pagan spells
We wait in the phone with fire sticks
The carnivore shows us his magic tricks
She walks over the lake with blackened feet
Taking us under, one by one by...
I've heard you speak of the unseen guns
But a lady never tells
We watch with vacant eyes as the fire runs
But in here it's cold as Hell...

Place of Skulls - Psalms
05:26

|

|
From the depths I call, Lord hear my voice
Lord bend Your ear, attend to my heart
If You kept account according to our sins
Tell me who could stand, Lord, who could stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be feared
So I expectantly wait and put my hope in Your Word
Like a watchman for morning, even more so I wait
And hope in You Lord, for there Your mercy redeems
Lord, my heart is not proved, for my eyes are lofty
Neither do I find myself in matters too great for me
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul
Like a weaned child and mother, like a weaned child is my soul

Hit the lights, bring up the action
Slammin' hard, a neck snap reaction
Never gonna stop, never give in
Metal from the heart, it flows from within
Turn it up, push to eleven
Feel the power rush flow from the heavens
No we can't give up, no not give in
Metal from the heart, flows from within
Neck snappin'
Fist pumpin'
Head banging
Heart of metal!
Bang yer head, yer fists in the air
Jump in the pit, let me see some hair
Studs and leather and headbanging fun
In the metal scene, this is how it¹s done
Don't like guitars, better move along
Cause we let it rip in each and every song
Don't care what's cool, don't care what's in
Metal from the heart, flows from within
Neck snappin'
Fist pumpin'
Head banging
Heart of metal!

Don’t underestimate a man
That’s been through Hell!
He will just come right back
With stories to tell
Spent 2 years of my life
Crippled down on the floor
Now I’ll rise up from this ash
Cause there’s so much more!
Don’t kid me
You can’t see
Don’t tell me
What I’ll be
I got more than scars in me
More than you’ll know
How can you say this is pointless?
Guess it’s time to go
Even though you’re right here with me
I’m, still alone
Back down to the same damn place
The blackness has grown
Don’t kid me
You can’t see
Don’t tell me
What I’ll be

Cruel grey skies - run for cover
In her eyes see her lover
Fear the falling rain as you shelter
Your world drowned, lost forevermore
Reaping a harvest of ruin
Nothing remains
Leave it behind as your ships sail away
He has reaped where he did not sow
And keeps what he did not own
In her arms he lies, where you used to be
Her chains broken - merciful release
Nothing remains
Searching for yesterdays dream
Reaping in vain
Long ago you were standing there
No-one knows, no-one can prepare
He beholds your world, now your eyes are blind
You let it slip away, now you're left behind
Let your ships sail away
Leave behind all your tears
All your hate
All this desolation
Drift upon open seas
Distant shores rise for thee
For you, for your salvation.
