Metal Lands

The air is still foul from death Raging fires leave the land scarred red We all knew this time would come When the bombs left us for dead There begins a new world order The living fight to stay alive Terror rules with an iron hand Lives of many are cast like die Birthed from carnage the warrior arose A champion for order under the black rose Put on your breastplate and pick up your sword Let them know where you stand Don’t drop your guard or you shall lose in the metal lands Your friend the edge of the blade in this life you never planned All your dreams cease to exist in the metal lands In the distance beyond the horizon The crucible hangs above the flame The sound of silence is broken With the moans of slaves in pain A horde of branded assassins Are breaking down the door Money no longer rules the land Its water they thirst for

I remember all the good times Like I remember the bad Life seems to move on Even when I am sad Sometimes we make mistakes We just can’t mend And tears can’t wash away The pain in the end You can’t turn back the clock Hope is your only prayer No one will lead you by the hand Its time to climb those stairs Life isn’t very kind No fast forward no rewind Everyday there’s more hell to pay Living these 8 track days Days seem to repeat A bad case of déjà vu Desperate cries make it worse Nothing more than you can do Time for a reality check Am I losing my mind All the remorse you have Can’t change the course of time

Sparks become a blaze And it burns our eyes The thrill of something new Becomes dulled with time I never understood What temptation was Until I walked that line And never knew the cause Dreams become filled with exstacy The nights are dark and empty Sin becomes your best friend A pocketful of pain Hunger begins to take control Slowly drives you insane Love is like a bullet In my head piercing through my heart Love is like a bullet A never ending echo in the dark Lies become your alibi The shadows hide your eyes Searching in desire For that one last night of fire Saturday night You’re by yourself and cold The only warmth you felt lately Came from last months centerfold Your luck runs out And leaves you dry With a wallet full of ones Her eyes seem to hypnotize As she unbuttons your denim

This empty house is so silent I sit back and wait for the phone This week’s been hell on Earth And I’m here all alone I’ve never felt so alone These feelings are so strange I remember how we talked Before you stepped onto that plane Who could’ve known? The world would stop that day How will I find my way? Through the darkness of the day So many tears, And overwhelming sadness So many lost, So much still in chaos I remember where I was standing We were in a state of shock The day the towers fell The day the world was rocked Who could’ve known? The world would stop that day How will I find my way? Through the darkness of the day

Nothings as simple as it really seems All I can rely on are my dreams The things I took for granted I’ve come to realize That I’m looking through someone’s eyes I saw the forest now all I see are the trees I see the hungry and the homeless in a long winters breeze Saw a storm take away my neighbor’s home See the elderly withdrawn and all alone And if you ever ask yourself what was I thinking of Time will tell you the truth when push comes to shove It’s a hard lesson to learn every habit has its vice There’s nothing free in this world it all comes with a price I’ve given it my all and had nothing gained See the children come in from the acid rain I watched the scholars work for minimum wage I hear the moans that pour in with the old age I see the coral reef and its slowly diminishing Feel the frustration from the deaf who try to sing I’ve watched the hopeful fall flat on their face Watched my favorite car lose in the biggest race

Living my life full of pride Fighting the air dying inside The living source he’s stronger than you Crushing the force there’s nothing you can do On my knees again Wont give up til the end Darkness must descend Children of light command Thorn in my side Keep me in line Sword by my side Just a matter of time Messenger of death He’s waiting for me Just one last breath I fall to my knee A warriors cry is heard in the dark Blood thirsty killers runnin with the sharks Setting the trap waiting for me One last breath what will it be Thorn in my side Keep me in line Sword by my side Just a matter of time Messenger of death He’s waiting for me Just one last breath I fall to my knee You rulers Of the shadows You principalities With fear and terror With power you will flee Fight for the prize Eternal life Hear the widows weep

I’m moving ahead and I’m not looking back Times running out and he’s on the attack Run with the horseman when they come and knock down your door Ride into eternity and go where no one has before And when they come Don’t turn and run We’re going to see that time has begun No time to look back no time to run We’re going to go where eagles soar Not looking back on this world anymore We’re going to leave this world far behind Seek the truth and you will find it’s not a lie The age has come and it’s time for us to rise It’s time for this world to meet its demise And when they come Don’t turn and run We’re going to see that time has begun No time to look back no time to run We’re going to go where eagles soar Not looking back on this world anymore Run ….. Run away We’re going to see that time has begun No time to look back no time to run We’re going to go where eagles soar Not looking back on this world anymore And when they come Don’t turn and run

Hey there Sam, we’re falling apart No news is good news Till you’re shot in the heart We’ve got hungry and homeless and privileged running from the pack Civil unrest and innocent under attack We’ve tried to get the ideals of the people to pass But congress is in a huddle and they’re sitting on their ass Don’t sit there and think I’ll let you walk on me If you think I’m mad you haven’t seen angry Don’t be fooled By the looks of what you see I may have been a friend Now I’m an enemy There’s so much confusion going on today Many of our leaders don’t know what to say They suspend the issues, it buys them more time As these people in office continue feeding us a line How can we really believe In their campaign overkill While the politicians having a party And they’re slipping us the bill One by one we’re all going down As we empower another class clown Things ain’t getting better Things are getting delayed Tell me what’s happened to all the money in the taxes Iv’e paid One things for certain And I know this to be true If you try and hold out on them They will be coming after you Don’t sit there and think I’ll let you walk on me If you think I’m mad you haven’t seen angry Don’t be fooled By the looks of what you see I may have been a friend Now I’m an enemy There’s no approval for your repent Signed, Sincerely, Violent

I’ve been gone for so long And I’ve lost touch with all my past My friends have moved on to better things I knew this part of life would never last Who would have known I would end up here With these bars surrounding me I made some mistakes when I was young With an end I’ll probably never see But if I could change what I’ve done I would change it all tonight For you’re the only part of me That never left me alone in the night Every night I pray for just one wish Every dream I dream of just one kiss One wish to be with you, one wish I wish would come true And I know deep within our lives There are things we sometimes do And if I could have just one wish I would wish I could be with you Just one wish Just one wish Everytime I lay down I can hear you crying in the rain And when I see you on the other side Of this door All I feel is pain I hope you never give up on me For all the times we are apart For a thousand years couldn’t change The way I feel in my heart And I’ll be damned if they think they can Take this feeling from me Cause you are all that I have left of my fading memory Every night I pray for just one wish Every dream I dream of just one kiss One wish to be with you, one wish I wish would come true And I know deep within our lives There are things we sometimes do And if I could have just one wish I would wish I could be with you Just one wish Just one wish
