Beacons

Half awake and spun
Drained of substance and hue
Scattered to the winds tonight
Navigating stars
Constellations of you
And a thousand points of light…
SHINE ON
SHINE LONG
Shattered and undone
All my bearings untrue
Drifting with the tide tonight
Hailing from afar
Borne aloft, born anew
Guided home by beacon light
In the arms of the harbor
Moved by something more than tide
And you mean everything
Sing the song inside and…

City streets
All alone
Like a dog
Without a bone
You want the world
And you want it all
Pay attention
When you hear the call
HEY HEY
OH OH
NOIR THING
SO YOU GOT TO SHOW
Midnight
Step inside
Kill the lights
We’re going for a ride
Creep creep
Watch the city burn
There for the taking
And tonight’s our turn
Made your bones
No turning back
Look sharp
All dressed in black
Underground
Running free
We’re the syndicate
Welcome to the family

We All Rise
03:37
|
|||
Retreating to that place inside
A place of refuge
And a place to hide
A place to be
The horse at water dies of thirst
Forever fearing
They would be the first
To drink and see
WE RISE ABOVE OUR STATION
WE ECLIPSE THE LIGHT OF NATIONS
WE REVEAL THE FARCE
FOR ALL TO SEE
Observance through a cynic’s eye
Reject the narrative
Expose the lie
Not what it seems
The will to swim against the tide
To break convention
In the great divide
To dare to dream
WE RISE UP FROM THE ASHES
WE THE GREAT UNWASHED MASSES
AN INVITATION
TO WHAT COULD BE
WHAT WE WANT WE WANT FOR ALL
WE ALL RISE
WHAT WE WANT WE WANT FOR ALL
WE ALL RISE
WHAT WE WANT WE WANT FOR YOU AND ME

Republik

So confident
Virtuous intent
Ready to dispense
Holy judgment divine
The nauseating trend
Making foes of friends
Drinking in the end
From the bitterest wine
Two Minutes Hate
From the nation state
Release the pressure
According to plan
Divided left or right
Divided black or white
Dividing us until
A republik falls...
Is your target true
Attention overdue
Be sure to misconstrue
Redirect, redefine
A win at any cost
No matter what gets lost
You’ve got your signals crossed
Where do you draw the line?
Two Minutes Hate
We do the nation state
Release the pressure
It’s part of the plan
Divided left or right
Divided black or white
Dividing us until
A republik falls...
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
YOU’RE SLEEPWALKING
AND YOU’RE WANDERING TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE
WAKE UP
SHAKE UP
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE
KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE WEDGE
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
YOU KEEP TALKING
KEEP TALKING
BUT YOU’RE TOO BLIND TO SEE
WAKE UP
GET UP
INSTEAD OF US AND THEM
IT SHOULD BE YOU AND ME

Why do you think you
Return to the place you
Don't know where you go
You only know that it’s home
Why do you go there
What is it to you
Shouldn’t go back there
But you always do
Surrender screens
Seize new dreams
Excessive scenes
Not what they seem
Flowing streams
Raise self esteem
Grace intervenes
Leave quarantine
A clarion call- for strength and reciprocity
Radiate - renew - immunity
How has it shaped you
All that you’ve been through
It’s all that we know
Time to break free and grow
It’s an old nightmare
So much to still bear
It’s where the ghosts roam
Time to build a new home
Surrender screens
Seize new dreams
Excessive scenes
Not what they seem
Flowing streams
Raise self esteem
Grace intervenes
Leave quarantine
A clarion call- for strength and reciprocity
Radiate - renew - community
Give away
All that
You are
Due it will
All come back
To you. Give
Away
All that
Surrender screens
Seize new dreams
Excessive scenes
Not what they seem
Flowing streams
Raise self esteem
Grace intervenes
Futures unforeseen
A clarion call- for strength and reciprocity
Radiate - renew - immunity
A clarion call- for peace and authenticity
Effervesce - transcend - ardently

Vigil

A decade past the hour
A whirling dervish spins and spins
Without end
No end in sight
And I can’t get us back
To where we used to be
When everything was alright
THE YEARS TAKE ALL
I REMEMBER THE FRAGRANCE
THAT PULLS ME LIKE THE TIDE
TO WHAT’S BEEN LOST
YET I REMAIN
REARRANGING THE FRAGMENTS
AND TRYING TO ERASE
THE LINES LONG CROSSED
Again call on tomorrow
Charge toward the horizon
Summon the will
Until you fall
A shallow empty breath
The future offers nothing
Nothing at all
YOUR SHATTERED WORDS
CATCH ON THE WIND
A PROMISE WITHOUT HOPE
BLOWS ASTRAY
EACH WORD A WOUND
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
CUT YOUR WORLD TO RIBBONS
DRIFT AWAY
There’s a light in the window
Where I remain
Forever fearing arrival
Of a tragic refrain

In another room
All alone with your fear
You’re hiding out in this space
That surrounds you
It’s not a question of why
It’s just a question of when
The clock is running out your time
When every day is the same
And every day is the same
And like a moth to a flame
You just
DROWN IT OUT
TURN INSIDE
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN
SO YOU TURN AROUND
RUN AND HIDE
Fight to forget
Every sin, every tear
You’re falling out in this place
That consumes you
Is it the pressure without
Is it the pressure within
Is it the swallowing your pride
Because negation awaits
Because negation awaits
Anything but break straight
You just
SHUT IT OUT
BURN YOUR TIME
ALONE AND FORGOTTEN
In another room
On your own with your fear
You’re bleeding out in disgrace
That defines you
No recollection of shame
No recollection of guilt
Sever connections and cut all your ties
Because illusions await
Because illusions dictate
That absolution can’t wait
You just
SHUT IT OUT
BURN YOUR TIME
ALONE AND FORGOTTEN
YOU SHUT IT DOWN
JUST RESIGN
AND LOSE YOUR MIND
SO BROKEN AND ROTTEN
SO YOU TURN IT OUT
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
ALL IS FORGIVEN

Wetworks

Come of age
All the rage
It is my right
Call my bluff
Fast enough
For me tonight
Gotta feel
Heavy steel
In my hand
Make a move
Need to prove
That I’m a man
INTO WETWORKS RIDE
BULLETS FALLING
INTO WETWORKS RIDE
GOD IS CALLING
Push the clip
Squeeze the grip
And recompose
Hammer back
Right on track
The tension grows
Trigger set
Gonna get
To have my say
Draw a bead
Do the deed
It’s the American way
I traffic in blood
Front toward enemy
I just remember darkness
The nightmare is all around me
Breathe the fear…
Breathe the fear
Breathe the fear
That fills the air
Stimulate
All the hate
That’s everywhere
Horror pours from the wound
And for what?
Brought to ground
To the sound
Of mother”s screams
Another life
Sacrificed
A shattered dream
And for what?
Breathe the fear…

Golden Age
04:18
|

Drifting lost in a moment
Captured by it all
Follow every echo I hear
But those days are gone
And the memories that remain
Cling to the shadows held dear
I NEVER KNEW WHY
WHAT’S TO FOLLOW IN THE DAYS TO COME
The truth of what is remembered
Is yours and yours alone
A spark of illumination
Every golden age
That was was once today
One in a constellation
Save your tomorrows
From yesterday
Steal every second
And all it brings my friend

And If We Miss The Night
05:15
|

And
If we miss the night
Still
Waiting for the light
Fear
Never question why
Hide
Deep within the lie
THE IMAGE IS CLEARER
RESENTMENT ONLY GROWS
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
NO REFLECTION SHOWS
More
Than my mortal sin
Less
Than my thinning skin
Now
Where all time stands still
Then
Where I never will
Hate
To the bitter end
Wounds
That will never mend
What
Could have been my life
If…
