Different View
Open mind, what do I see,
Opened eyes, a begging world pleading,
Understanding heart, pain and woe all around,
Spiritual bond, together ourselves can be found,
One with the Earth, yet not together,
Alone we stand as an individual,
Everyday you fight a duel,
With yourself, with everyone else,
Chorus - Open thyself to something new,
Rule by the mass and not the few,
Realize what it is that you do,
Free yourself for a different view,
Black and white there is no color,
People are people mark them by their valor,
Who cares about their religion,
They believe in the God within their legion,
All is found to be feasible,
What does it matter what country they're from,
All this prejudice is extremely dumb,
Teach not your children this hatred,
(Chorus)
I say to you, are you that ignorant,
Do you realize that you're the peonic ant,
For that which you've done,
All of those you have shun,
Do not ever do that again,
How would you feel if it happened to you,
I'm sure you wouldn't know what to do,
All this I say doth have meaning,
(Chorus)
Return To
Return to the pain,
Return to the cain,
Of your life since past,
They that made you an outcast,
Return to they that hurt you,
Return to they whose powers undo,
Chorus - They that took love and used it to toy with you,
Things of meaning to you taken away,
Even after you've died away inside,
With you they still play,
Return by whence you came,
Return to those that shame,
They are the murderers of your life,
The cause of your strife,
Return to where you were,
Return to what you were,
With demon inside,
Return,
(Chorus)
Chaotic Paranoia
Day after day,
We fear what we say,
For it may come back at us some day,
Chorus - The way we play,
Is for our sake,
To pretend and fake,
Nights sleepless lie awake,
Building, construing what might be,
The best defense we'll ever see,
Wider here, higher there,
Such a mighty stare,
More a glare to peer over the obstruction you've built,
Chorus - The best defense we'll ever see,
You show with glee,
Not open to compromise,
Not out to socialize,
But then you'll never realize,
You're your own condemner,
Striving for absolute seclusion,
Hiding you emotions eternally within,
Soon no one will ever see who you really were,
For the wall you've built,
Extends through a lifetime,
Chorus - You're your own condemner,
I understand now you must put in place,
The last of the bricks which've been laced,
With fear and pain so displaced,
The last shimmering light evanesced,
You're left emotionally alone in the dark I've guessed,
I don't see how you can consider yourself blessed.
Alone
Here I stand,
No one to see me,
Here I sing,
No one to hear me,
No one to see,
That I am alone,
Open my eyes,
To hear the cries,
Chorus - All you have to see,
Is that what is we,
In the crowd,
And yet so isolated,
Each to his own seclusion,
To make his own conclusion,
As I walk through the silence,
I see things which've been,
And remember the pains since past,
Then think of what's to come,
And then some,
(Chorus)
Whispers of the shadows,
Are the sounds of some comfort,
But then I realize I am alone,
Without any friends,
Without a love,
Thus without a home,
(Chorus)
Salvation
Chorus - Hey you,
Where you gonna go now,
Now that you've gone done lost,
Everything's gonna cost,
The price of your sins,
Shove you through the thick and thins,
Going home,
The accusations drove you away,
Bringing you to this very day,
A day of sorrow woe,
The way that was chose,
Was a force of consequence,
A ramification that's immense,
But known it had to be,
The only path you could see,
(Chorus)
Look ahead to your salvation,
The roads new direction,
Heavenward bound,
Breaking the new ground,
Territory grows anew,
In his eyes,
In his heart,
Go into his arms wide spread apart,
(Chorus)
To the only place that you know is safe,
The only place you truly belong,
In his heartfelt song,
The repertory one,
Comforts you in the hallowed halls of hope.
That's The Day
Chorus - Come the day,
You will hear my laughing,
You will hear my crying,
You will see my tears,
Come the day,
You will feel the pain,
You will feel the rain,
You will know my fears,
That's the day,
I do pray,
For that's the least I say,
That one day,
I will find my true love,
Precious as the peace'n dove,
Beyond the push and shove,
You'll find the day,
(Chorus)
You will see the way,
The beaten path,
Cleansed by the Baptists bath,
Then you see just what I'm looking for,
Time to settle the score,
(Chorus)
Blind
Consequence
Now, I know of those who know,
And those who think they do but don't,
Those that do are oblivious to all,
Those who don't are blind and fall,
I try to share what I know to help others,
To stop the feuding brothers,
Chorus - Just where you gonna go,
To find,
A little piece of mind,
Your light within the blackness,
You are blind of consequence,
The bitter-sweet blind consequence,
And oh yes I know,
Because I've been told so,
That I know where to go,
Even though I don't realize what I'm doing,
Wishing, hoping, pursuing,
My introspective peace,
Which will be interstellar,
Beyond any compare,
(Chorus)
Journey
Through many things have I been through,
And still I find many new,
Suffering through the torrid days,
And dying in the horrid nights,
Watching hopes and dreams build up,
And then fade away,
Now I embark upon another journey,
What lies ahead I don't know,
Dreams, love, fortune,
I may never know,
Chorus - From the rise of the sun to the setting of the moon,
I ride with flight in the time of the gloom,
To seek truth among lies,
To find the terrible cries,
I seek my true destiny,
Pain and suffering scattered about,
Listen to the impoverished shout,
But you only hear decadent whispers,
I am the one who considers,
Just where to go,
Even though I never know,
The pain and suffering I've endured,
My broken heart can never be cured,
Forever travel endlessly,
Never-ending searching hopelessly,
(Chorus)
Fate And Fury
Deep within burns a pain,
Looking for an outlet in deepest vain,
Chorus - I'm alone,
So alone,
Tell me, tell me,
Where do we go from here,
Find in me just what I fear,
What is meant to be to me,
I can not see just now,
What's to come,
Feel the emotion,
Smell the hate,
Know my fate,
(Chorus)
Such anticipation,
Learn of the education,
The fury burns away inside of me,
Can you hear my plea,
Ambiguity of not knowing,
My heart, two pieces are sewing,
(Chorus)
Come in near,
Feel it here,
Never sear.
Prison
Without Walls
Deep in this dispair,
You can smell it in the air,
Fear tearing down on me,
Not what I used to see,
I find myself trapped,
Far within my own conscience,
Limited and bound by the straps,
Chorus - I can feel,
I am real,
I can cry,
I can bleed,
Why can't I die,
This body my prison without walls,
They come around to look at me,
They gape and gasp at the sight,
They watch as I wriggle in my plight,
My soul trapped within this body,
Incarcerated by the chains of this life,
Brought down from my heaven to live strife,
(Chorus)
I can see beyond the boundaries,
But no one can hear my cries,
I am attached to this body yet so distant.
Chains
Chorus - Break these chains,
Free my soul now,
Break the chains,
Let me go now,
Break me free,
And help me to be,
Free now,
From the wall,
Tell them all,
That I am the innocent,
I am the God sent,
Tell them I am the one,
Who has come,
To save them all now,
But I need them to,
(Chorus)
All will come to thee,
I will let them see,
The true me,
They must know the truth,
They must recognize lies,
To become the good,
That is why I've come,
Yet I need them to,
(Chorus)
Dreamkeeper
Chorus - It's time to be,
What you can't see,
It's time to be,
What you must be,
It's the time for you and me,
The time to set our souls free,
Come to me,
And let this be,
Can you think of what this means,
Do you know how this seems,
A duty presses us,
Let it love or let it rust,
The feeling set in motion,
Potent more than potion,
Just got this stinkin notion,
To believe,
(Chorus)
Open your mind,
Be another kind,
In this lose yourself,
Spend your hidden wealth,
Time has come to do this deed,
I know what you need,
Indeed I do,
I know you,
(Chorus)
There you keep your fears,
This is what your self endears,
Here are your hopes,
This is the part you keep in ropes,
I am a piece of you and all things,
I keep your dreams,
(Chorus)
A
Poem Of "Enigminity"
A poem of no beginning,
A poem of no ending,
Can you hear them sending,
Or can you hear them calling,
It is all a matter of depending,
There, voices are all but falling,
Voices of the dead,
Voices of the living,
As soft as a feather bed,
A poem of no beginning,
A poem of no end.
Nature
To be within,
Live the sin,
Die that day,
Tis why we pray,
The collapse the decay,
Whisper your lies,
And hide the truth,
It's in your nature.
Imagination
How wondrous and splendid is imagination,
It gives everyone an attentive fascination,
How grand it could be,
Or so dangerous you could see,
Some people think it's a dangerous thing,
Others think it is as brilliant as a diamond ring,
And yet the last few never knew it existed,
All of that splendor wasted,
Take hold of it and use it wisely,
For it can be used in the wrong surprisingly,
So always watch out for it,
But never be afraid to let it run wild; just never let it sit.
The Unnoticed
Worse off than those who are unforgiven,
Wanders the few of the unnoticed,
These are the unwanted and unloved,
Their punishment for being born,
Scorned and refused are they,
No one seems to see them,
No one seems to know them,
No one will ever care for them,
They could be considered fortunate,
Never a loose-end left behind,
So with this thought I leave,
Forget them they need not your pity nor sympathy.
Never Me
Look in the mirror and it seems to be,
All I see,
Is that which I've known,
But never have I shown,
That which haunts me so,
I know will never go,
Opposite me the stranger in the looking glass,
The illness that will not pass,
Life forever known as another,
The flickering light my memory does smother,
Forever gone not to return on day,
This wicked game I'm forced to play.
Things
To Be, Are To Come To Pass
Axe of anger,
Forged from fury,
To you I am but a stranger,
But your wielder born of inquiry,
Swift and sleek are your strokes,
Vengeance is mine to be,
You're as brilliant as the fire stokes,
My mortal foes fate to see,
To proclaim his death and my fortune,
With you I shall consummate with his blood,
My marriage to the tune,
And the blossoming of the bud,
The events will soon enough take their place,
For my journey is almost over,
I now enter his domain the open wide space,
Coming to the end of the fields of clover,
There, lies his castle,
On to his gate I ride,
I see him await in the courtyard seeming so little,
Off my steed and to the side,
I walk to the point of conflict,
Here in his land no rules shall I abide,
For when it comes to death he is an addict,
As I approach he draws his weapon of choice,
Ergo I draw my axe,
I raise my axe, and charge with a scream of my voice,
He lifts his sword to counter my blow, but it shatters and lands
on nearby sacks,
With a yell of anticipation for my triumph,
I say to he, "Vengeance be the name!"
I then lopp off his head with a wumph,
Never again will things be the same, I now have avenged,
I the warrior am now a face of unglorified death.
My Life Again
Things seem to be coming back again,
The place is new but the faces are old,
It seems as though,
My whole life has been leading up to this time and place,
And I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do,
Memberance of people of the past,
They return to me as another,
Friends once but now strangers,
Dreams become reality,
Reality is but a dream,
Life and its vicious cycles,
Around and about and back again,
Is this my first time through this life,
Or another,
Everlasting and repetitive it seems as though,
That it has begun for the last time,
So the quest in itself begins.
Lost
Within my mind I find myself trapped,
My efforts and will have been tapped,
The enigma of such perplexities,
Lost among its towns and cities,
Love is to be binding,
Hate is what I'm finding,
Never cared and never shall I,
Till the day I die,
Waters of time,
Winds of change ring the chime,
Beauty and innocence there to see,
To hold in my arms will never be,
That which I wish to ascertain,
Things will always be the same,
Day after day, night after night,
I will continue the struggle of the fight,
For that which I think is right.
Pay You Must
Is this love or is this lust,
Know I must,
If only to just,
Blow away the dust,
From this relic book love and its hinges of rust,
Swept away from the sudden gust,
Of emotions for her I feel,
Upon my knees I kneel,
With a pleading wish I do seal,
This incumbent deal,
From its ramifications I heal,
I now ask for my final meal,
My days numbered are they,
Without knowing the answer I'm at bay,
Waiting for the dawn of the next day,
The truth, with me it plays,
It will have its way,
And I shall pay.
To Each Of You
To each of you,
I promise something new,
Trust that I sought and found in you,
This promise I shall keep and do,
I know what pleases you few,
This conclusion I have drew,
From the vision in this late morn's dew,
You I shall coo and woo,
By using all that I knew,
I care not whom I tell that to,
Life is ours within this maddening zoo,
Now I leave my legacy to you two,
Do as I did yet not withdrew,
The evils within, your heart it does chew,
To each of you,
I promise something new,
Trust that I sought and found in you,
This promise I shall keep and do.
I
Who am I,
What have I become,
Where is the person I once was,
Where exactly am I from,
And where is it that I am going,
How do I explain the things I've done,
Close my eyes and look within my soul,
Notice the scars from they that shun,
Alone, an outcast by nature,
Within I see nothing, no one, none,
Roamed through and through spirit and mind,
No remnance of anything fun,
And just what did I find,
The culprit and the smoking gun,
After timeless searching I have found him,
The figure amidst the shadows thought he'd won,
But there he was before me,
Now the race to catch him was on.
RiddleMaster
Where to be,
Is here to see,
What is it that I must do,
Find those who belong in the crew,
Where shall I go to find them,
Begin at the base of the stem,
Where might that be to find,
On through life's grind,
Must you always speak in riddles,
Only to those who don't understand the fiddles,
What fiddles I hear nothing,
Then your life has no meaning,
And what do you mean by that,
Your answer lies deep within the vat,
What vat I see nothing here,
Then you truly have something to fear,
For the vat is deep within thyself,
That is where you will find all true wealth,
And only through the journey of life,
Beyond all your strife,
You will find what you search for,
Turn around and begin by going out that door,
So that is the base of the stem, and yet here I stand,
Now you hear the fiddles and begin to understand,
Yes, I truly do,
Good for you,
Now begone with you!
Wall Of Walls
Again and again,
And yet again,
You must fend,
Protect themselves,
Raise a wall,
An obstruction to keep them out,
Distant,
So distant,
To keep thyself hidden,
Striving for total anonymity,
Moving through the shadows,
Not searching for any fellows,
Stay away you say,
Stay far away,
I keep to myself,
I fear for what I say,
For it may come back at me one day,
Such a game I wish to play.
