1. DESPERATE SOULS

He grasps on desperate souls
Watching
Learning
Searching
Seizing
You’re caught within his clasp
Anger rises
Vengeance advises

His violence masked by silence
Fed you lies
While emotions died
Baptized your thoughts in anger
His plan is true
But despised by all

Find weakness in your heart
But tonight, he meets demise

Concurred your vengeance gladly,
Taking control
Search your mind drastically
He’s . here. To. stay

Eyes locked ahead
Frozen-now you’re dead
Dreamlike state
Focus your pain
Darkness Insane

Escape the wrath at once
Claim your right
Ignite the fight
Tempting your prey at last
With fraudulence
And innocence

Take control of all you know
He’s here to stay….


2. ALLURING FEAR

Paralyzed,
This selfish longing leads to
My demise,
Will it change
Blade in hand
I run so far into this
Breathless rage
Will it end?

I won’t give up my fight
’til I’m dying
No more alluring fear
I won’t accept defeat
’til I succeed
Sacrifice’s made
And I will be free

Demoralized-
This cruel seduction's on the
Rise tonight-
Heed my warning
Com/prom/ised
Infectious pride
It will provoke
Ignite a cry

I won’t give up my fight
’til I’m dying
No more alluring fear
I won’t accept defeat
’til I succeed
Sacrifice’s made
And I will be free

Now comes the morning
Bringing me to life
Into the sunrise
I lay my fear to rest


3. IMMORTAL

Into the horizon
And through the unknown
We carry the torch
And bring forth the stories
innocence lost
In their journey of life
We carry our fight
In search of our glory

Memories
Can’t be the lifeline
Through this yearning
To break free
I long for peace

Sweet words
Kept me bound
To a presence
Promising
Eternity
I will long
For his answers
To questions
End my strife

Come with me
He lied when he swore he would make me immortal through song and story
Run away
My victory’s worthless and I feel so hopeless through every passing day

I will be haunted
Through the ages
Never staying clear
Of my mind

Haunted
Constantly drawn
To Assurance
He’d be mine
Forevermore
Promise broke
Causing to yearn
For love's embrace

Come with me
I swore by you my love
Call to me
Eternal longing


4. LAST ONE STANDING

Step up now
Took my bow
Became proud
And cried it out
Couldn’t see
I’m dying
Never sought us through
Paid me no mind
I was confined

Grip my mind
Walking blind
Empathy’s your sacrifice
Searching deep
For the love
You never showed me
Serenity bound
Was not confound
Falling slowly
To something unholy

Captivate
Initiate
Memory’s not one to take
Still you think
I am weak
Bow down
And breakdown
Bound to me
By your own decree
Can’t you see
I'm Not a detainee

I won’t be
The last one standing
Take your words
And heal divinely
I’m here to stay
You will let me go

I refuse
To stay
Bound to you
False embrace
I refuse
To lie
And let you
Destroy my dear mind
Couldn’t let this be
You can pursue
And keep me bind
I won’t let you win
Run my life
With ever tempting sin

Stepped up now
I took you down
I freed myself
No longer tied
To the lies
You said
Embalm my pure mind
I will not drown
I will see you bow
I will stand tall
Ignite your fall!

Won’t let you win
Can’t let you control
My happiness
You will let me go!


5. ETCHED IN MEMORY

She walked lost
In a world
Filled with hate
Aimlessly
Wondering
Abandoned heart
Was crystallized
To heal pain
Of words
Once spoke

The longest road
Is the one she walks
Alone
Desperate wounds
Can only heal
Love
Abound

Detriments
Made her feel
Unloved
Unheard, unevolved
Can’t she see
She’s never alone
Won’t let
Horrid thoughts
Come near

Sweet lost soul
Can’t you see
Me walk with you---
She’s blind
Caught in fear
Almost on cue

Filled by longing
Won’t betray you
Feeling your pain
Desperate shame
Words only belong
To the embers

I am right here
I see your desire
Afflicted survivor
Be my fire
I want your power
So you will never tire

This is my way
To say
I care
No words can harm you
Fight on!

Don’t let your fears win
