Beyond Vengeance

Legends tells of burning flames Of Children’s screams and fires untamed And when the smoke had cleared away These walls had any tales engraves Endless Whispers fill my mind As I made a step inside From the shadows they appear Turning into nightmares They would twist inside my head And yield me to my fears Ashes scattered faces angered watching me As the darkness took my thoughts and Blinded me I turned and ran towards the door But felt a chill run through my bones The darkness swept, it captured me Its icy grip won’t set me free Pain and terror filled my soul I’ve been trapped it’s been so long From the shadows they appear Turning into nightmares They would twist inside my head And yield me to my fears Ashes scattered faces angered watching me As the darkness took my thoughts and Blinded me Orphan children, cursed and angered In the blackness needed comfort Cunning lullabies I sang them as I crept Out from the darkness From the shadows they appear Turning into nightmares They would twist inside my head And yield me to my fears Ashes scattered faces angered watching me As the darkness took my thoughts and Blinded me

With pencil in hand a blank paper stands In front Awhile world awaits me, whatever that Comes to mind I ran to the lake, she sat there but hid Her face I reached out to touch her but she Vanished without a trace I wish I could see your face in the dream The more that I try my colors will dry Your face disappears like it has through The years And all that I have is a paper that’s blank I re-live my dreams, but nothing appears It seems Why can’t I remember? Why does this Torment me? From nightfall to dawn, sleepless for You I call Reveal your face to me, ’Tis you that I Wish to draw I wish I could see your face in the dream The more that I try my colors will dry Your face disappears like it has through The years And all that I have is a paper that’s blank You demon, you witch, reveal your face To me I cannot stand this thing I will die! Madness or hate or love you see Through me Only a glimpse I beg tonight I wish I could see your face in the dream The more that I try my colors will dry Your face disappears like it has through The years And all that I have is a paper that’s blank The paper is Why can’t I touch you? Shattered dreams This madness is driving me insane! My canvas is blank

For too long i waited for a bride to Walk the ages And then when I had found her you just Burned her to the ground I swore revenge in madness For this would ease my sadness You took the one I longed for Mercy died without a sound I will take what you took from me I will laugh as now you will scream Unto the darkness I send thee All your women alive You will feel what I felt all this time My anger controls me Your future now begs Unto the darkness I send thee tonight All that i could hear were their cries Inside my ears I judge thee to damnation, no remorse You die tonight I smiled and then I tore through their Flesh with all my claws I then tasted their blood as slowly death Would creep inside Not one will survive Your fates I decide Unto the darkness I send thee All your women alive You will feel what i felt all this time My anger controls me Your future now begs Unto the darkness I send thee tonight You will suffer for my pain! Endless darkness now awaits! Worthless cries have no effect My black heart was always dead Unto the darkness i send thee All your women alive You will feel what i felt all this time My anger controls me Your future now begs Unto the darkness I send thee tonight

Here i hide in purpose With aim to bring you down For i have planned to bury you 6 feet into the ground Outside these walls you hunt me But this will be no more As i become the hunter until the Day I’m gone I watched you burn our houses I saw you kill my friends I cried as you were torturing our Women to their end Take my life, take it all But you’ll never take my soul No more pain, it’s my right I will not go down without a fight One by one I crush you From mists I have appeared I have become a nightmare Your greatest deadly fear You thought that we are weaker Your strength in numbers lay Our strength i not a number; Our hearts show us the way You set a bounty on me “The most wanted man alive” You’d better raise that number or you’ll Never get the prize Take my life, take it all But you’ll never take my soul No more pain, it’s my right I will not go down without a fight For months now I have fought you I’ve killed a thousand men But betrayal has deceived me A traitor from my own land You finally had found me “Surrender” you said then “Why don’t you come and take me Or are you still afraid?” Take my life, take it all But you’ll never take my soul No more pain, it’s my right I will not go down without a fight

11 years ago today I lost her to the sea And every day that passes by I feel I’ve lost a part of me Every year, the day before I feel the ocean breeze And as the pain begins to sink It brings me to my knees I find a stick and carve my pain Into the sand I write A message from my heart that aches That cannot see the light Ever since the day you died I cruse the ground I walk I wish that I could take your place As this would sooth my soul The tears that I have shed for you Will never be enough And my eternal suffering Can’t stop my bleeding heart I break the stick and throw it far Into the wet abyss And hope that it will bring it back With a message from my love I wait for night and the tide to rise To take my letter in And somewhere in my darkest depths A candle lights within A little hope wakes up inside That my letter will be read And when the morning sun will rise Her answer will be there Ever since the day you died I cruse the ground I walk I wish that I could take your place As this would sooth my soul The tears that I have shed for you Will never be enough And my eternal suffering Can’t stop my bleeding heart I wake up slowly from my dreams And look towards the sea And on the sand a message carved Was written next to me Ever since the day I died You curse the ground you walk I wish that you would end this things As this would soothe my soul The tears that you have shed for me Have surely been enough I ask thee just remember me And keep me in your heart And my eternal suffering Can’t stop my bleeding heart

I’m walking alone, out on the road Nowhere to go but in circles My memories gone, I can’t recall Been searching my soul for the answers I woke up senseless in a pool of blood No feeling in my hands A crying blackness Racing through my heart That I can’t understand I am lost in time, in a paradox Endless thoughts run through my mind And as the hours pass I watch my hourglass Inside I’m dying 5 days have passed, still in the dark I have no sense of direction As I move along, from cornet to stone I can’t control this regression I can’t feel my heart beat no more An emptiness cloaks me The recollection of my very being Not even as a dream I am lost in time, in a paradox Endless thoughts run through my mind And as the hours pass I watch my hourglass Inside I’m dying I am lost in time, in a paradox Endless thoughts run through my mind And as the hours pass I watch my hourglass Inside I’m dying And all that’s left for me Is not even a memory Of my old life Of the day I died

Here I stand with the wind on my face And it seems I can hear your voice Far from the depths of this cruel Desert world That takes, and gives you no choice I remember that cold winter mourn You left and did not say goodbye We argued so much the previous night Although I knew that you always Were right I should have listened to the raven’s cry I would have wiped your tears aside I could have drowned my ego and tired To hold you one last time One last night I sat on the porch with your words in My mind And I thought of the pain in your eyes I knew there and then that I had to find A way To say I’m sorry and swallow my pride The sound of the phone seized My thoughts As a feeling of joy filled my heart But the voice a the end of the line Said the road had taken your life I should have listened to the raven’s cry I would have wiped your tears aside I could have drowned my ego and tired To hold you one last time One last night So here I am, standing on your grave My heart is shattered With empty tears raining down my face That I can’t see from the disgrace I wish that I could turn back time and Change all that has happened So we could have just one more night Before our days would darken I should have listened to the raven’s cry I would have wiped your tears aside I could have drowned my ego and tired To hold you one last time One last night

Wrinkles fill my hands As each year that has passed Has been carved Through the winters and all the of the cold I have watched my reflection grow old Dust, has painted the walls And my loneliness shadows the doors All of my life I have waited Waited for something to wash On my shores And now I can hear the sound of silence My heartbeat, my breathing My emptiness filling (My soul) I feel, my time is now nearing And weaves through the threads of my life And of that I have done and told Rivers of memories flow To the oceans of thoughts in the Back of my mind Has the story for all been foretold? Was my destiny written? And then to me was then sold? I’ll carry the scars to my grave From the last time I looked in her face She lay on her bed full of tears As she knew that her time had then neared And now I can hear the sound of silence My heartbeat, my breathing My emptiness filling (My soul) I feel, my time is now nearing And weaves through the threads of my life And of that I have done and told

To the deepest ocean floor Many hundred years ago Sank a beauty of the sea Her name was “Semeni” Now the Sailors have a tale In hopeless times they see her sails And If she sings her eerie tune To follow her she beckons you The sky is black the thunder roars Colossal waves, a screaming storm “Man the deck! Prepare the sails! She’s claiming us!” The captain wails Out from the dark, a symphony Into our hearts, now we’re in need Of a miracle Great sails of white, show the way Into the night, take us away Oh “Semeni” With Strength in heart we gave our all A chance to see our kin once more “But she’s too strong! All hope is gone! This is the end God save our souls!” Out from the dark, a symphony Into our hearts, now we’re in need Of a miracle Great sails of white, show the way Into the night, take us away Oh “Semeni” We bowed our heads, this was Defeat for us And tried with God to find our Peace save us So as we prayed a tune was heard That brought our hears Back from the dead! As we raised our heads to see Her name was painted “Semeni” A ship so great as bright as day And as she sailed the storm gave way “Follow her!” Out from the dark, a symphony Into our hearts, now we’re in need Of a miracle Great sails of white, show the way Into the night, take us away Oh “Semeni”

I remember being young All I dreamt was for a farm But one winter dawn the soldiers came And from the on My dreams had changed The greatest honor this had been That every man wished they had seen A knight of pride for king and land So now this is what I’ve become A dream for a dream There’s no regret Reward my even be my death No matter though, carped diem A Love for life this, gave me strength Today we fight, a wars’ at hand We will not fail, till death we stand My brothers…lost we’re left a few I feel my time is coming soon I raised my arm for one last time A final charge was set in mind But as my arm came down to strike A pain had shot straight through my spine A dream for a dream There’s no regret Reward may even be my death No matter though, carpe diem A love for life this, gave me strength I lie here cold, close to my end And soon I too will join my friends So just before I close my eyes I remember my old life This is ironic.. I admit I gave up my dreams to come to this Farewell o’world I wish you well I leave you now ‘tis my last breath A dream for a dream There’s no regret Reward may even be my death No matter thought carpe diem A love for life this, gave me strength
