Enter Into My Soul

In a world of darkness, can one exist in the frozen face of death's embrace
No one has escaped the hand of fate, or resisted the high cost of unliving
My dreams are truly lies, my nightmares are the disguise, I have nothing
Call my name, take me, be my lover, be one with those lips I need to taste
Delve deep into my soul, take my control, fulfill my need to be forgiven
Simple man, without money, I have nothing, but you gave me something
I'll never go back, you're my dream fulfilled, no need of anyone but you
If I fail in life, I will be ok, let the world burn, I'll freely leave,
Because I have truth and with love, I know I have enough

Father and Son

When you let me know, I was wounded, I still am
You chose a path that'd lead you to make a stand
Your path could only end in a life of sorrow
A life of pain, like mine, just like me
No one would confuse me for one who is sane
The path is the one the chosen follow
Only those called to be, a choice free
We've left no chance by our decision
We have then a life without dream
Now and forever after, I lived my fate

I chose my destiny, my son, my living legacy
And I am surely proud, if also worried too
We've both made our choice, to live for truth

Let it be known, I'm content, I made my stand

You will be content too, a brave man

Sleepless

In the middle of madness, all havok and chaos reign
I've not slept in a decade, I've no memory of dreams
The events and interactions, are lost to endless days
This life is empty, with no words left, I'm a machine
Labor, feed, sit, close my eyes and find little peace
I'm the final step before disaster, trapped in a cage
A prison cell within my mind, without sleep

No Kiss

If Death offers a kiss, I'll decline, then I'll apologize
Telling the Angel of Death I'm not interested in dying
The choice isn't actually mine, I don't decide the time
But if I'm given a choice, I'll use my voice and decide
There'll be more time than I can ever count in eternity
The ultimate final goal of Elysium surely speaks to me
The kiss from Death doesn't move me, even if sublime

There are a billion Deaths, but they are all aspects of the one
Death: Azrael, the Great Attractor, the Death of Universes, the 
beginning and end of time.                                Terry Pratchett

Crashing

I took to flight, upon broken wings that could not lift me
The world rushed up towards me, as I would crash below
With no healing, I'm forever unable, Death had kissed me
The vacuum in the center of my chest continues to grow
And the life inside me, is fading so very swiftly

Desolation

I wonder sometimes, what is the point of life, what is this life about
Do we suffer for dreams of solipsistic madmen, alone in this place
What is there but fear, pain, lust and seeking pleasure and treasures
Isolated in the distance, a wasteland desolation leaves us mourning
For all the highest aspirations, we've wasted them, our lives emptied
In an asylum called existence, try to endure the emotional starvation

Crossing the Whitelines

Driving down the middle of the highway and drifting
Asleep at the wheel, dreamed deep but now waking
A world left behind but I've entered nightmare realms
Mind lost in place, demons attack but I am resisting
Pestilence becomes my existence, damage I'm taking
I long to reach Heaven, but I've been living in Hell

The Stain Remains

I fail you, on a regular basis
I remain in a form of stasis
I refuse to learn my lesson
And soon, I'll have to reckon
With a life of foolish choices
Of drunken careless voices
Knowing I had lost my way
I'm a failure, my life's a stain
I ask for your grace and mercy
I don't deserve even one thing
But here I am, I've failed again

“Confession is not betrayal.” George Orwell

Not me

Only one was the holy one
Only that one offered up
Only one was the Messiah
My life was never divine
My Blood was human
Not communion wine
I could never be enough
Killed, offered in sacrifice
My flesh is now tainted red
I'll bleed, until cold dead
Forgive me, I'm a failure
However much you love me
I can never be your savior

Sacrifices

Let the others pay the price
Accept their kind sacrifice
Life is a question of time
With no question to solve
I've no answers that burn
I'll be unable to absolve
When the cancer returns
And it will, it always does
Requiring a determination
An ardent resolve
That I might no longer possess
