Minus One
There's a boy, standing on the corner,
There's a tear running down his face,
There's a blade, gripped between his fingers,
Red with blood, red with his disgrace.
And on the street lies a lifeless body,
On the street, lies a mother's son,
On the street, lies a future stolen,
Though he tried, tried so hard to run.
On a bed, screams a mother broken,
On a bed, screams a heart destroyed,
On a bed, screams for God to change things,
Why won't God bring back her precious boy?
And there's a blade, glinting in the streetlights,
There's...
There's a tear running down his face,
There's a blade, gripped between his fingers,
Red with blood, red with his disgrace.
And on the street lies a lifeless body,
On the street, lies a mother's son,
On the street, lies a future stolen,
Though he tried, tried so hard to run.
On a bed, screams a mother broken,
On a bed, screams a heart destroyed,
On a bed, screams for God to change things,
Why won't God bring back her precious boy?
And there's a blade, glinting in the streetlights,

Alone in the Dark
When I was but very young
Sorcerers came to claim my mind
Leaving death and hatred to unmask
The master ov the game had won
And let his final sin be known
Killing those who stand in his path
Alone in the dark
Where the demons are torturing me
The dark passages ov revenge is all that I see
Armies ov witches
Are called in from the north
Murders ov elders occur
The high priest ov evil
Has lowered his iron fist
Thousands ov people will die
The slaughter ov the innocent
The house is burning
That lights the sky...

HellSpecies (Prologue)
It begins with the sound of a howl. A long, echoing howl that reverberates across the pitch blackness of the nighttime sky. Legs that carry neither a sharp-eyed dog nor a sharp-eyed, sharp-hearing dog. Legs that carry something far larger and far more dangerous.
Below the dark sky, the forest stirs in its sleep. The furry creatures that snuffle and waddle and root around during the day now doze uneasily in their holes and nests and burrows. They are far too smart to go out at night. Fearfully, they try to rest, waiting for the far-off morning.
Tonight there is blood on the...

Dying Love
Starting off, everything was fine
and my lonely world was at peace.
You were so sweet and I was kind.
Together we sought our release.
We drank the wine ov happiness
tapped from ancient romantic kegs.
Now I have only loneliness
as I drink all those bitter dregs.
But now it seems as though all is lost
Upon the fallen bricks of my heart.
And now it seems that time is my cost
As my world is falling apart.
and my lonely world was at peace.
You were so sweet and I was kind.

as I drink all those bitter dregs.
But now it seems as though all is lost
Upon the fallen bricks of my heart.
And now it seems that time is my cost

Prisoner ov My Mind
Sick and tired ov trying,
Done with all this fake smiling.
I can't pretend anymore,
I can't live this way forevermore.
I've already lost it all,
So it won't make a difference if I fall.
Countless times I've tried,
But once again I have lied.
I've been knocked down for the last time.
In my head I hear the bells chime.
Telling me that it's all over now.
Redemption is something they will not allow.
I'm confused about who I am inside.
The person I used to be has died.
I used to be so strong,
Something I thought I would be all along....

Mental Decay
Where did summer go
Lost upon the frost and snow
Left me to wonder when the bottle will
Tap out and the sun will rise
I woke up yesterday
With a hole in my chest...
Yet I feel no pain
Numb to all feelings
Life in winter's chill
To feel the warmth
In this bottle is useless
When you wake up it's gone
When you wake up it all starts again...
I've learned to break yesterday
And destroy tomorrow
I've watched each leaf
Fall off my tree
I've watched the seasons change -
Why step up when you fall back in place
Why?
Misery...
Lost upon the frost and snow
Left me to wonder when the bottle will
Tap out and the sun will rise
I woke up yesterday
With a hole in my chest...
Yet I feel no pain
Numb to all feelings
Life in winter's chill
To feel the warmth
In this bottle is useless
When you wake up it's gone
When you wake up it all starts again...
I've learned to break yesterday
And destroy tomorrow
I've watched each leaf
Fall off my tree

Why step up when you fall back in place

Insomnia
On the day that the world began, under the Tree of Life,
The two of us heard the distant reverberation of whales singing.
Where do I wander off to now, embracing...
In my arms all the things I have lost and loved?
The answer lurks within the amber sun.
Had I not met it, I would have been able to remain an Angel of Destruction.
The soul which holds the twinkle of immortality... Don't be hurt, my wings,
For I was born to learn this feeling.
For two and ten thousand years, I've loved you.
As eight thousand years passed, I yearned for you even more.
Though...

Ascension
Two five zero five zero five
Tonight it feels so good to be alive
Oh boy, have you heard the news?
Together we've blown away the blues
And through the empty fallow years
We kept singing and kept the faith
And through all the hurt and tears
We kept singing, kept singing and kept the faith
Again we've written our name into history
Against all odds and in the face ov adversity
And from our darkest hour we emerge victorious
Cause we kept singing and kept the faith
I've never known such sheer delight
I've never known such sheer...

Sunset
We watch the waves splash
onto the beach,
with little sea shells
floating in the water.
We watch the birds fly
over the ocean
trying to catch dinner,
we watch our friends relax
on the other side ov the
beach.
Laughing and joking around,
the total opposite ov
you and me.
We watch people walk by
not saying a word,
just calm in the peacefulness
in our little spot.
As the quietness fades away,
the day goes with it,
yet we're not ready for it to
end.
As the sun keeps setting,
you stand up and grab my hand...
onto the beach,
with little sea shells
floating in the water.
We watch the birds fly
over the ocean
trying to catch dinner,
we watch our friends relax
on the other side ov the
beach.

just calm in the peacefulness
in our little spot.

the day goes with it,
yet we're not ready for it to
end.
