...And Justice For All



BLACKENED


Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution’s end
Never it will mend

Never

                        Fire
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Blackened is the end
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Color our world blackened

Blistering of earth
Terminate it’s worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing never more

Never

                        Fire
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Blackened is the end
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Color our world blackened

                        Blackened

Opposition...Contradiction...Premonition...Compromise
Agitation...violation...Mutilation...Planet dies
                        Darkest color

                        Blistered earth
                        True death of life

Termination...Expiration...Cancellation...Human Race
Expectation...Liberation...Population...Lay to waste
                        See our mother
                        Put to death
                        See our mother die

Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never
                       
                         Fire
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Blackened is the end
                        To begin whipping dance of the dead
                        Fire
                        Is the outcome of hypocrisy
                        Darkest potency
                        In the exit of humanity
                        Color our world blackened

                        Blackened





...And Justice For All


Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you’ll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

                        The ultimate in vanity
                        Exploiting their supremacy
                        I can’t believe the things you say
                        I can’t believe
                        I can’t believe the price you pay
                        Nothing can save you

                             Justice is lost
                             Justice is raped
                             Justice is gone
                                  Pulling your strings
                             Justice is done
                                  Seeking no truth
                                  Winning is all
                                  Find it so grim
                                             so true
                                             so real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

                       The ultimate in vanity
                        Exploiting their supremacy
                        I can’t believe the things you say
                        I can’t believe
                        I can’t believe the price you pay
                        Nothing can save you

                             Justice is lost
                             Justice is raped
                             Justice is gone
                                  Pulling your strings
                             Justice is done
                                  Seeking no truth
                                  Winning is all
                                  Find it so grim
                                             so true
                                             so real

Lady Justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you’re done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
Cannot feel

                        The ultimate in vanity
                        Exploiting their supremacy
                        I can’t believe the things you say
                        I can’t believe
                        I can’t believe the price you pay
                        Nothing can save you

                             Justice is lost
                             Justice is raped
                             Justice is gone
                                  Pulling your strings
                             Justice is done
                                  Seeking no truth
                                  Winning is all
                                  Find it so grim
                                             so true
                                             so real





Eye of the Beholder


Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
You silence for your confidence

Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?

Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

                        Doesn’t matter what you see
                        Or into it what you read
                        You can do it your own way
                        If it’s done just how I say
                             
                             Independence limited
                             Freedom of choice
                             Choice is made for you my friend
                             Freedom of speech
                             Speech is words that they will bend
                             Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me

Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own

Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie

                        Doesn’t matter what you see
                        Or into it what you read
                        You can do it your own way
                        If it’s done just how I say
                             
                             Independence limited
                             Freedom of choice
                             Choice is made for you my friend
                             Freedom of speech
                             Speech is words that they will bend
                             Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourself

Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom’s ring

                        Doesn’t matter what you see
                        Or into it what you read
                        You can do it your own way
                        If it’s done just how I say
                             
                             Independence limited
                             Freedom of choice
                             Choice is made for you my friend
                             Freedom of speech
                             Speech is words that they will bend
                             Freedom with their exception

                        Doesn’t matter what you see
                        Or into it what you read
                        You can do it your own way
                        If it’s done just how I say




One


I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is true with me
I’m waking up, I cannot see
That there’s not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

                        Hold my breath as I wish for death
                        Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

                        Hold my breath as I wish for death
                        Oh please God, help me

                        Now the world is gone I’m just one
                        Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death
                        Oh please God, help me

      Darkness          Imprisoning me
                        All that I see
                        Absolute horror
                        I cannot live
                        I cannot die
                        Trapped in myself
                        Body my holding cell

      Landmine          Has taken my sight
                        Taken my speech
                        Taken my hearings
                        Taken my arms
                        Taken my legs
                        Taken my soul
                        Left me with life in hell      





The Shortest Straw


Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt, modern day
Determining decay
The blatant  disarray
Disfigure
The public eye’s disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

                        Shortest straw
                        Challenge liberty
                        Downed by law
                        Live in infamy
                        Rub you raw

                        Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It’s teeth and talons through
Your living catch-22
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

                        Shortest straw
                        Challenge liberty

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You’re reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The life is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One world said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

                        Shortest straw
                        Challenge liberty

Harvester of Sorrow


My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I’ve loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate

I give
You take
This life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth

                        Anger 
                        Misery
                        You’ll suffer unto me
                        
                        Harvester of sorrow
                        Language of the mad
                        Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back which used to be

Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain

                        Anger
                        Misery
                        You’ll suffer unto me

                        Harvester of sorrow
                        Language of the mad
                        Harvester of sorrow

All have said there prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You’ll find where murder lies

Infanticide

                        Harvester of sorrow
                        Language of the mad
                        Harvester of sorrow
                        Language of the mad
                        Harvester of sorrow






The Frayed Ends Of Sanity


Never hunger
Never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within
Triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

                        Old habits reappear
                        Fighting the fear of fear
                        Growing conspiracy
                        Everyone’s after me
                        Frayed ends of sanity
                        Hear them calling
                        Hear them calling me

Birth of terror
Death of much more
I’m the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings
Spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings
Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

                        Old habits reappear
                        Fighting the fear of fear
                        Growing conspiracy
                        Everyone’s after me
                        Frayed ends of sanity
                        Hear them calling
                        Hear them calling me

Into ruin 
I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free
Flooded I’ll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

                        Old habits reappear
                        Fighting the fear of fear
                        Growing conspiracy
                        Myself is after me
                        Frayed ends of sanity
                        Hear them calling
                        Frayed ends of sanity
                        Hear them calling
                        Hear them calling me




To Live Is  To Die


When a man lies he murders some part of the world

These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives

All this I cannot bear to witness any longer

Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home





Dyers Eve


Dear mother
Dear father
What is this hell you have put me through
Believer
Deceiver
Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed onto me what’s wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear mother
Dear father
Every thought I’d think you’d disapprove
Curator
Dictator
Always censoring my every move
Children are seen but not heard
Tear out everything inspired

                        Innocence
                        Torn from me without your shelter
                        Barred reality
                        I’m living blindly

Dear mother
Dear father
Time has frozen still what’s left to be
Hear nothing
Say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it’s life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear mother
Dear father
You’ve clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled
Unspoken
I’ve outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I’ve always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do
                       
                        Innocence
                        Torn from me without your shelter
                        Barred reality
                        I’m living blindly

                        I’m in hell without you
                        Cannot cope without you two
                        Shocked at the world that I see
                        Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear mother
Dear father
Hidden in your world you’ve made for me
I’m seething
I’m bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew
