Open Fire

Pulses are rising, creatures are dying Hollywood can't paint these skies Stenches that linger as Death licks his fingers Invoking the floods and the fires Somewhere the sky is beautiful and forgiving Where are the days before she came to the cleansing? Evacuations, Earths desecration reverting to bedlam by night Nature reveals changes oh so surreal How we've taken for granted this life Somewhere the sky is beautiful and forgiving Where are the days before she came to the cleansing? In the pool of destruction Swimming with a hungry shark where the bodies litter the shore Danger cuts across the fields Leaving mounds of of debris so torn Souring the path of all I fear the wrath of the woman scorned All have seen her Deaths dealer Flushing all peace away

I was thrashing away Swinging wildly to no avail as deception excavated lifesblood from my bones Knocked out and buried alive I can't help but to feel inside that somehow I shoveled half the dirt into this hole Sing your song to me Void of harmony Drive me to death then try to nurse me back to health How can you stare back in these eyes that sink into my head? Goddamn, you're poisoning me So damn vain, all the world can see The irony is you're killing me, but I'm already dead Sing your song to me Void of harmony Seek your wildest dreams Tear mine at the seams Some call me strong, yet I feel so weak Spring of life's gone, Autumn's turning bleak Brutal winter is damn near killing me Tendrils rising to start again Born again The phoenix rising from the flame Left behind the ashes with new lifesblood in my bones Haunted by nothing more And when i bury the past for sure, I'll be standing above the ground when I fill up that hole Sing your song to me Void of harmony Seek your amnesty Far away from me

Got to change, this life's a bore You might just get what you're asking for I said before that I spoke the truth I thank you for your paper trail of proof Time will reveal how the righteous wrong How they conceal with a forked tongue Cherish the words of the dying man Only fools compromise themselves Greener grass on other hills Happiness is not a pill With damages done, one should not grieve The door hits your ass when you leave Time will reveal how the righteous wrong How they conceal with a forked tongue Cherish the words of the dying man Only fools compromise themselves And you know just when you've hit the bottom When your children forget your name Got to change for what's in store God knows we are all deserving more I said before that I spoke the truth I thank you for your paper trail of proof Time will reveal how the righteous wrong How they conceal with a forked tongue Cherish the words of the dying man Only fools compromise themselves

Once an angel came to me and said ''Do you lack inside?'' And so I raised my head to reconcile ''My burdens of the Earth must be well deserved'' So I begged for mercy from the one Now the angel's gone, and hell's become my home I sit and think how life has gone Would it be unfair to ask for more? The beggar knows The angel since returned to the one once spurned and claims the invitation won't expire Somehow i just can't see salvation as elite And so I sent the angel on his way Should heaven be so vain, bring on judgment day I sit and think what love has done Could it be that I'm the one so wrong? The beggar knows Your congregation's meeting The chosen pray Ignore the beggars pleading and turn away Sinners rising sinners casting stones again Sinners bring the beggar to his end His eyes have seen heaven's at hand Thunder roars, the clouds bring gales forces, wicked battering The sun hangs his head in shame Those who joined in life with the beggar shall be reconciled For the vain - cast into the lake of fire And now I hope you see malaise in vanity And that you may not be a chosen one Ain't no one really knows which way the spirits go Yet I believe that action speaks a ton If we are to become one with salvation I sit and think what death will bring Will I burn in flames or fly on wings The beggar knows

Strung high above the trees Discord and entropy Incessant banter's got me full of spite I've got no patience, got no time Misguided shoves Remove your gloves Dismiss the warning and you're gonna learn None shall return Coiled up and poised to strike Jackasses are alike Somehow it seems they breed in overtime I've got no reason to be kind You're talking tough I've had enough The day our paths do cross you're gonna learn None shall return Your insolence now jades I'll rain on your parade But you won't step outside Small dogs without much bite should stay inside at night and bark behind the door Apologies so weak and frequent that they reek of insincerity A population that's so vile and base Eradicating moral code Their legacy no more than commonplace Tonight the worthless breed is overthrown

Fists flying, on the run How whiskey tastes like fun I've had my back against the stars, face down in mud Run through the hurricane Coincidentally felt no pain Crank up the amplifiers so loud Don't wanna hear your lip no more Take on the world It's Whiskey War Backcharge the system fast Cops confiscate your grass then burn it up when they get home And you're still in jail Doctors will write the 'scripts You'll shove 'em past your lips One legal dealer with a quota Ain't gonna take that shit no more Take on the world It's Whiskey War Signal towers pushing power overhead Scam religions, premonitions of the dead Listen to me, carbon copy wannabe FUCK YOU One cannot be what they weren't born to be Don't take for granted what's your home I won't pretend I'm aristocracy I'm just a troop in Whiskey War

Casting shame upon the malefactors is dilution of all their foul play Also-rans begrudge the titleholder If you don't cheat you're destined to fail Dreamers spend their fortunes before they wake Underdogs become impostors for the accolades Gracious smile now shakes the hand of triumph Clean your wounds and head on to brood despair It's hard to breathe staring at your blue ribbon on the mantle of another's lair Dreamers spend their fortunes before they wake Underdogs become impostors for the accolades I want to taste redemption before my wake Gotta be the titleholder before I hit my grave Green in the eyes of the hungry Green pockets of the great Green is the vain imposter Green grass above my grave

We fight tonight beneath the jet filled skies Terror and courage cannot be disguised Remember family to dull the pain The battle's over, yet the war remains I've given up my dreams Now you protest and scream Freedoms you gain are born when good folks die Even if it's not right, with valor I shall fight Just help me see the new sunrise Distrust the enemy with cunning guile Protect perimeters with no denial Is my baby safe outside my hand? And is her heart inside another man? I've given up my dreams Now you protest and scream Freedoms you gain are born when good folks die Even if it's not right, with valor I shall fight Just help me see the new sunrise The stakes are high I must not die My chid is all I see Strong shall survive I am alive But now the enemy's stalking me We die tonight beneath the jet filled skies The terror overtakes our blood filled eyes Remember family despite the pain The battle's over yet the war remains

Pistols scream God's mysteries Semi-automatic on a lunatic spree Plagued by birth Fault of the Earth Castigate the falsifier with a lead scourge Sins of the father Broken by man Voices exhorting beckon the plan Taking no hostage; open fire Duct tape dread The living dead Execution style to the back of the head Lives defiled mother and child Evil assailant so turned on and wild, showing mercy for no one and none shall survive How many times can a childhood be blamed for these actions contrived? God went away Spectres arriving to expropriate Sins of the father Broken by man Voices exhorting beckon the plan Taking no hostage; open fire Emissary of Abaddon Black rage sins define Reprobate hellion Enchanting angels' minds Tempt them with a succubus Conceive hell's uprise Blood stains the streets of ill desire Assassins aim and open fire Dispatching penalty Bricks bathe skulls and bones Inverted crucifix tattooed upon their souls Hag woman cackling, acknowledging their fate Waiting for just a taste from lord Satan's plate To buy the prize, you sold your soul Charon awaits the ferry's toll Blood stains the streets of ill desire Assassins aim and open fire

All support the system of denied hypocrisy Blackened auras justify the selling out of dignity Set the stage, manipulation the double-dealers sow Kiss of Judas on my soul Look out below Bitter winds are blowing Freeze the rain upon your back It's so hard to walk alone in constant fear of their attack But never mind the barking, for their rotten teeth can't bite Affectation and decay devour from inside Pretense and imitation Birthright of all alive Some reek of ostentation Knowing they'll never thrive Dissimulations posturing behind your cloak The shameless hands embracing you in facade then slit your throat Double-dealer from the gutter Double-dealer from the mire Take a good, hard look at me now living out what you desire Underhanded cunning, bastardized duplicity Leave a bitter taste behind, afterbirth of treachery Circumvent the subterfuge with vengeance and disdain Put your boots and jackets on and brave the rain

Uncounted millions living the dream Some things just aren't quite what they seem Drowned in temptations Black hearts turned ill Insatiable, can't get their fill From deep within the pits of sin, a hunger calls to feed While children sleep, the devil creeps and pumps you full of greed Unholy millions living a lie and tell it straight into their eyes God bless the victims and cure the lame Sometimes they are one and the same Now greed has gripped your heart Inner conflict has you torn apart So goes diseases of the soul Harbingers of your fate laughing at you 'cause they know it's too late Your future sealed, the bell does toll
