Blessed & Cursed in Equal Measure
No conclusion Just pestilence gushing out of me No reason left to work for the sake of sanity My mind is restless My heart it seeks a cure My will shall not be spent It means so much more I struggle once again Was there ever comfort Life seems stacked Like a house of cards collapsing under me My fate it rests on the falling dice But still I roll and I don't think twice Ghosts of the future enter my head With a powerful sense of dread What goes through your head When what you always had is dead When nobody sees make them believe in me We won’t fall foul to dread Driving fiercely onwards I hold my head up high Throwing caution to the wind And I never say die Hard times no doubt are up ahead Fear for the rest of my days The powerful sense of dread Give me a reason Find me a reason I need a reason Cleanse me in reason I'm riddled with guilt I'm losing sleep over Blood I have spilt Look through the mirror to see what I am And there lies a hopeless excuse of a man But I try to change I'm just a sign of the times Nothing is shared It’s all mine, mine, mine, mine

I will walk through the columns of my fears Light the tunnel with flames And make the past disappear Lead me not in the hole I foresee Bathe my earth with light and water this seed From it grows a mighty oak that will stand in the breeze Follow me Out of the grave I've been waiting here I won't he enslaved Keep your spirits and prepare for the worst As I know these days are blessed and cursed The harder then came the harder they fell Broken on the ground a shell Where a soul used to dwell A ghost haunts me in the dead of the night Banging on the windows screaming cold spite I try to resist her but she calls until daylight Blessed be he who spares these stones Cursed be he who mover these bones Heaven shall hold no redemption In this grave I lay alone

Behold the man With fire in his hand Controlled by fear His servants rape the land The Runes of Death Foresee the end of days Enchanting words To those unversed in the ancient ways Hail hail tempest Chant adoring slaves Awaken the demon Whilst calling to the gave Conjuring shadows To dance amongst the flames Master of nothing But weak and cruel hypnotic games Beneath the mountain Under molten sea Keeper of the seven gates Is awoken, and now set free Beard of white satin Mighty wand of oak He's one bad motherfucker Wrapped in a floor length cloak Striding down the left hand path A grey old man with a tall white staff For a moment the tyrant stares To challenge the master For no one dares Strike him down and he shall rise Ten times stronger and twice the size He will crush you with deadly speed Like ten thousand horses Running stampede Do not laugh Do not mock Respect the power Ungodly warlock No way to fight Cannot resist Smashing your face With an arcane fist Beneath the mountain Under molten sea Keeper of the seven gates Is awoken, and now set free Beard of white satin Mighty wand of oak He's one bad motherfucker Wrapped in a floor length cloak

All I want Presented at once A choice to great for anyone All I know A part of me just wants it so But I still struggle letting go The greed is eating me alive Ambition burns inside A white light in the darkness I've suffered massive change And thrown away its chains But the rust forever stains How times change Going nowhere for an age My path was never shown the way Now it leads Whichever way I chose to take Navigated by my fate I do what I want But still feel trapped by regrets That I'm yet to have I've been given my own space But I've thrown it in your face Your trust I've misplaced You gave me your heart But I just rip it apart Destroying your dreams But it's the heart that leads A born leader I wish I could open my eyes To look around and start to realise What is real and what is fake Real is my fate Death shall not wait We score A statement of violent intent A reign of awful majesty A crown made of fear A throne made of shit And no heir exists Kingdom is a state of mind And I now know that I’ve found mine I'm ripping up the book Your body on a hook Another faithless crook

I bled the blood of a thousand wars And I still don't understand How many can deny existence Of souls across the land I shed the tears of almighty sorrow The burden shared by all Relief is brief inside the circle of life Where we all fail and fall Hammer of the gods Crashes on top of ray head The world is in tatters Welcome the age of the dead Spawned of systems we don't control Someone's got their hand in my soul They tear out my heart and raise it to the sky In the past I thought things were better But now I know nothing lasts forever I'm drowning in pity and I don't know why I can feel the Hell awaiting me As I brace for the fall In the still of the night hyenas circle And laugh at my pain Hammer of the gods Crashes on top of ray head The world is in tatters Shepherd the age of the dead

Only you can change these nocturnal ways The madness of night And the loathing of these wasted days Trapped in Satan’s grip My guilt My bloodsoaked face I fell from grace and my past is a truth I cannot face My guilt My bloodsoaked face I fell from grace and my past is a truth I cannot face Eternally floating As I am burnt by the fire Sapping the human in me A hellbent desire Light me up My unknown life Where are you waiting for me We all get what we deserve And you have the measure of me We are equal We are equal We stand on the same rock We all have some shame We're equal but no two of us are the same

On the edge of the hill I watch my legacy crumble and fall My empire built to last is slipping like sand through my hands History, erased by fire, a glimpse of my future I see Traitors with blackened dead eyes run amok around me My pride, my husk of a life My promise becoming a lie Weary I stumble through my kingdom fucking gone Body betrayed by spirit for it has moved on Gathering pace is a storm, ripping through wastes of my land Go out in a blaze of glory, for this is my last stand My pride, my husk of a life My promise becoming a lie Run Hide The fourth stronghold stormed in the night I say my prayers But they fall on deaf ears I can't run from what's inside How we've been Like a dream Will this last All in the past Run Hide The fourth stronghold stormed in the night

Through boundaries of shame Broken trust Pure disgust Like a plague surrounds us Know the weight of my guilt Share my load Lead on through the dark times Call me your own I used to think I was sane And could change But I have fallen on some dark twisted days Lonesome nocturnal thoughts The root of the grief Take my hand and help me Turn this new leaf I have betrayed my oath I’ve given up all I know And as I stood at the temple I feel so alone Open up and let me in A new age it must begin Lift up this shroud of shame and change Forevermore The existence you bore Ends with the light Seen no more This temple my tomb Locked for eternity In darkness and doom Hammer of fell divine Sons of the true serpentine Smash down this palace of hone And wield the black stone Exhume this earthen tomb And awaken the doom Run through fields of time long lost Before light and winter frost
