Martyr
You thought your fight so dear
Descended from on high
A martyr to your phantoms
Convinced all wrong was mine
The life you live
Belies such hubris
A lost cause
Fold your arms in fear
That someone’s found you wrong
The march goes on against all
To show them that you’re not
The life you live
Belies such hubris
Collect your ransom
You’ll find it’s all there
So long
Sure, fine
Stay far from here
Go now
Go now
Go
The scapegoats of our tears
To have but not to hold
Denial’s incantations
Still tempting fate to fold
The life you live
Belies such hubris
Collect your ransom
You’ll find it’s all there
It’s done
It’s done
Done

Unveiled
One lives for such moments of
God-like insight
This vital art might save someone
From their cursed lot
Blood will out lies
One “like” for what you’ve unveiled to all
That you’ve felt in the night is due
Two-hundred "loves" for the same remark
That’s been shared before
Don’t let these poor blinded souls
Thwart your progress
No time for doubt to sway your heart
From those in flux
Drones sheltered from what is
This hard line you draw:
"The one life we’re all meant to want"
The true faith of all the ones
Who walk in kind
One “like” for what you’ve unveiled to all
That you've felt in the night is due
Two-hundred “loves” for the same remark
That’s been shared before
This hard line you draw:
"The one life we’re all meant to want"
The true faith of all the ones
Who walk in kind
Gutted from the debt of their god

Requiem

Requiem
A life was lost today
They broke her will
Betrayed her trust
She tried to not give up
But the pain
Was just too much
(BREAK)
The messages they sent were
Crafted
To what they knew of her beliefs
With no shame
They posed as a kindred soul and
Stole her heart while they laughed
She lies below here now
Alone with her hopes and perils
Love’s cold darkness calling
Her eyes void of fear
(BREAK)
Her tears cannot be lost
Such cruel connivance has a cost
To those who come to this
Remember what she was to them
She lies below here now
Alone with her hopes and perils
Love’s cold darkness calling
Her eyes void of their terrors
Love’s cold darkness calling
Her eyes void of their love
She lies below here now
May she rest

Tribal
War has come
Rome will burn
Curse your ground
For my sake
Threads open
Spoken tongues
Bent on their false idols
And all this talk
It gives no ground
Find your in
Drive engagement
Sway no one
Scroll your way on
Dead strawmen
Haunt my thoughts
Still, your friends won’t mind much
And all this talk
It gives no ground
Trust no one
Spite the “brainwashed”
This moment
Is nowhere
(LEAD)
Shared comments
Won’t bind us
Save for their cold silence

The Rift

The Rift
Tried to see what was in your mind
Your side contained no logic
I could recognize
And so
The rift grows
Our hearts unknown to
Whose hallowed thoughts are owned
I’m not
Challenged
Broken
Swayed
Blind to this dark force
That plagues our lives
Designed to keep us
Locked within our lesser minds
And so
We withdraw from our so-called friends
Chasing our doubts away
I’ve been
Hit with
More than
This
One day, you’ll know
Once I have left
Something will change
Don’t wait too long
Turn me out
Cut me off from
Your feed of turnkey conflict
True lies
Heed the words that
Bend your will
To the other side
~Don’t quit
Give me hope
God, just once~
I’m not
Challenged
Broken
Swayed
One day, you’ll know
Once I have left
Something will change
Don’t wait too long

Gone Dark

Gone Dark
The signs were all there
You sought no conversation
Trolling contact from calm violence
Proclaimed your god’s wrath
The fate of my conviction
From your pulpit of cult follows
Gone dark
We’re done
Describe this moment
As if it was somehow different
From your countless of such run-ins
The fate of our two roads
Colliding in the distance
And no one’s stopping
To warn us that
This war won’t end
Until we’re all dead
Once I could take you for
A friend, though ill-informed,
Who still would side
With our truth of this knowing
So now they’ve come
To end all we’ve done
Hell’s children
Held hostage
Condemned by their god
A vain tin god
A failed tin god
(sigh)
(LEAD)
A vain tin god
A failed tin god
Rise
The chosen one
Of these lost souls you lead
Toward their promised mirage
So blindly they follow
In their conned belief
And now
This Armageddon’s begun
With a lie encoded for mass appeal:
“We fight for a world their kind resists.”

Terra
Darkness falls now
Upon this proud land
The war cry of
A tryrant-god’s toll
Terra
Don’t cry
One kind chosen
It’s in their blood now
The uprising of
A new world devolved
Terra
Don’t cry
Forfeit your prize
And all fiends are sure
Torn by views learned
Both sides’ true natures
Will now walk in two worlds
To each their own end
Terra
Don’t cry
Forfeit your prize
And all fiends are sure

Drones
A lie some fall for when they’re spun
The wrong cause - a lost soul’s calling
Blood oaths of programmed drones
The world burns for their lust
The swarm floods
Nowhere left to run
They’re everywhere
Recruiting
Sole control
Thoughts and soul
The price of this sought road
(BREAK)
Climb the steps
She’s there
Waiting for you
Seek your target
Wreak your carnage
Seize your conquest
Believe or die
She’s your life
(LEAD SECTION)
One knight pawn hits
Bloodlines severed
One might hope there’s
More than this
(DRUM BREAK)
A lie too shameful
To share in one lie
A lie too shameful
To share in one lie
Shameful
Shameful
Shameful
Shame

The Chosen

The Chosen
Believe and know
There’s no need to wander in doubt
Just exorcise your guilt
And claim the life you’re owed
The truth is all too clear
Sheltered
To further this exalted cause of our faith
The Chosen who will save this world
From those whose fallen hearts
Reject the laws of our King
-The One so feared
Rise
Ascend to where you’ve found you belong
Your role in this unfolding holocaust
Is an honor that so few are ever offered
Sheltered
To further this exalted cause of our faith
The Chosen who will save this world
From those whose fallen hearts
Reject the laws of our King
-The One so feared
Above this godless scene of
Hollow lusts and hostile reason
The guidance of eternal vision
Will light our way
Come
This war we fight
Is not of flesh and blood
Mobilize your drones
The foe must be destroyed
We shall prevail

Voyeurs
Crimes go live
Accused, indicted
Connect
Divide
Oneself from their kind
From my hardship
It doesn’t feel so wrong
When their lot is of their own result
Kill off
All the wayward
And via web
The voyeurs, they all watch
Cast your vote:
Condemned or let off?
Project your sins
Onto these scapegoats
By our god’s wrath
The guilty will be judged
No liar spared
The fate of our disgust
Kill off all the wayward
To viral web
The voyeurs are drawn
The blood flows on
The carnage toll has sold
This homicidal
Yet subtle flaw
Of our online thoughts
From this cell
Where I’m held
For my words
You’re my curse
Your cold eyes burn
You’re my curse

Cursed
03:57
|

|
Cursed
Encoded in the whites of our eyes
A subtle hint of volatile intolerance
Projecting our neuroses
Onto all perceived threats
However benign or well-meant
War is our voice
When the foe is finally felled
How we rejoice
Cursed
And buried in the depths of our hearts
This primordial affliction evermore persists
Descending ever further into Us vs. Them
Reframing their sorrows as “just spin”
Blood is our tale
The holy prize of our glory’s resale
Cursed
Cursed
And all for what amounts to our wills
This war of tribal honor wears on still
And even those who know
How this always ends
Can’t help but to just wallow in it
~All in~
Cursed
Cursed

Oblivion
I. Aftermath
Carbon darkness
Cold and starless
Ocean tides swell
Forests burned
From my office
It’s so remote
Nothing more than
What’s been sold
The system dies
It stood for nothing
Don’t cry
No tears
Don’t pine for this
It stood for nothing
II. Collapsed
As sunlight scorches
Through these curtains
What will remain
Of our once-noble land
Collapsed
III. Demagogue
On your throne
A god of gold
Servants of one faith
Praise your sovereign reign
Foretold
On your throne
A god of woe
With your flock so devout
Before you now
All who dare protest
Will be in contempt
Of us
IV. Rebranded
When you proclaimed your cause
And left tongues tied
Shed your former ways
And found your cult
Your fate was changed
And now
The day of judgement’s come
There’s no one left
To question your lies
A laugh at those who dared
Contest your price
You’ve owned them now
V. Dissonance
Polarized self-interest
Trolls and charm gone nowhere
Cognitive wiring
Circumvents what is real
Lost in the battle
For this once-shared land
VI. Coda
Storm surge
Lifeboat’s lurch
A violent
Cold, hard wind
Howls
Hang my hopes
On one thought:
“It’s not my fault”
