As Hope Valley Burns: Eulogy
I live in the dirt, and I will make the peace<br/> I will burn the world when it stops turning<br/> The end is what we fear, but its been done before<br/> <br/> Were bleeding in the dirt, my veins are growing cold<br/> Crashing down around us, the blood will turn to ash<br/> Time will melt away and make us whole<br/> <br/> Burn the world<br/> <br/> Lust within the violence, no way to read the signs<br/> Yet the games continue, set fire to the churches<br/> <br/> Burn the world<br/> <br/> The road begins to blur, cruising far too fast<br/> With whiskey and some matches, the dogs are on the hunt<br/> <br/> Raining down from the skies, there’s horror all around<br/> The weak have run inside their homes, and dwell in the underground<br/> <br/> We dig down, the shovels broke<br/> Bleeding hands, Heaven burns<br/> We dig down, the shovels broke<br/> We dig down, the shovels broke<br/> Bleeding hands, Heaven burns<br/> <br/> We try so hard to be alright, but when it comes, we never are<br/> The shovels are all stained with blood, you know this dirt, will never move<br/> <br/> As it comes time again, there’s a pistol in your hand<br/> Begging for this thing to change, knowing that it has to end<br/> <br/> Feel it starting in your spine, the pain it never ends<br/> Sitting back you take a drink, and start to sink in to the earth

The lights go dim, words hit like bricks<br/> We crawl over the dead, and rats are at my feet<br/> Hold the shot gun steady and clear your head<br/> There’s too many reason to pretend we are dead<br/> <br/> Grieving for the lost love, the engine is on fire<br/> Slipping ever deeper, sadness strangles you cold<br/> Picking up the pieces, nothing will matter<br/> The day ends - as it begun<br/> <br/> In-toxi-cating, Drugs like death<br/> Dreams take demon form; I see God’s eyes<br/> <br/> Drug – like – death<br/> Mind – is – numb<br/> All – my – will<br/> Clench– my – Fist<br/> In-toxi-cating<br/> Dreams – take demon form<br/> <br/> Strapped down and begging, her breath is slowing<br/> A psychotic moment, leads to a calming<br/> To search for meaning, amongst the runes<br/> My deadly nightmare, witness the demise<br/> <br/> Inside I’m dying, inside I’m sacred<br/> The rites of winter, it will be done<br/> My head is not calm, my body shakes<br/> I cant work through this, the day remains<br/> <br/> The noise is violent, come to the edge<br/> The sound is crippling, and black is fading<br/> Behold a rebirth, below the surface<br/> My mind is violent, my mind is breaking<br/> <br/> Inside I’m dying, inside I’m sacred<br/> The rites of winter, it will be done<br/> My head is not calm, my body shakes<br/> I cant work through this, the day remains

I can see them, smiling through the trees<br/> We all know we’re burning, but it still feels the same<br/> The blood seems so bold, yet so afraid to die<br/> Cradled ancient stones, fall to disrepair<br/> <br/> Hold on to the end, you’re drowning in the sands<br/> <br/> Down the mountain side, I cannot escape, the things we are, has made us mad<br/> The beasts in robes, the moon spills blood, clutch the knives, and keep your head low<br/> Creation of the damned, a soul sacrifice, forever on the run, as the war starts in the east<br/> Mountains crumbled down, Destroyer of light, the book as told us lies, the passage of the doomed<br/> They gather in packs, under the red skies, plan your gods revenge and dig your heels in,<br/> The virus has evolved, the hatred feels right, blood runs down your chin, the passage of the damned<br/> <br/> Fight eh beasts head on, kill them where they stand, we will not back down, todays the day we die<br/> The lands will tell a tale, of those who fought hard, the passion and the plague, disease and the sword<br/> <br/> The machine has broken, your prayers are unheard<br/> Bred to burn it all down, destroying what’s been left<br/> Creeping through the stairways, the remaining have no eyes<br/> The winds kiss the sunset, smoke will fill the air<br/> <br/> Your teeth are broke and jagged, the blood fills your lungs<br/> Drifting to a deep sleep, forever in the fire.
