"Darker Times"

"Darker Times"


September's here again
Every insecurity reminds you
Who's at the helm?
Darker times
With fear in the eyes
Who's the man in charge?
Invented isolation
Alone and safe inside
Struggle with words
That make sense in time
Yet waiting for someone to enter
Say, "I have a better plan"
Never have to worry
For all that we know
The truth be told
As we lay down low
Walking the thin line
Let the happiness in
For now it's fine
We're living the lie
When light breaks
Another way to matter
All questions somehow answered
When life comes crushing
At the early break of day
We've only come so far

"Dawn Of A New Day"

"Dawn Of A New Day"


[Verse:]
The thoughts of yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win

[Chorus:]
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

[Verse:]
Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

"Dead Alone"

"Dead Alone"


I'll always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results
I will never enter your heaven
Make the most of my dirty cell

Creeps infected by control
That's what put me in here
Dig deep don't think you ever get to the place where they buried me
The last glimpse that I had
Fragments, pieces of some things valuable
Even though it doesn't make sense anymore
I release my last fear

[Chorus:]
The cold worms and me
We're alone and free
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
We're alone and free

When there are only my bones
Please put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn
The darkness disappears
Don't release these chains
Never been closer to myself
All your mistakes run though
As I realize what we become
The end is here to bid farewell
I'll turn to ash and hear them sing
Songs about my emotions dead and alone
Don't make an effort you don't know me anyway

My frustration, my conversation, why are we even here?
The abuse that we use I do not longer care

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Dead End"

"Dead End"


Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame

I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time

[Chorus:]
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
It's the next disaster!

What decides when you've lost the war
When the first man falls?
Or when they erase it all?

We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed my life's tear

In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too

[Chorus]

What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice

Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame

Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster! [2x]

"Dead Eternity"

"Dead Eternity"


You'll never be alone again
You'll never die again
You'll never be born again
You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity
I bid you welcome to my world
They call me existence
You have just entered through the gate
to your journey towards eternity
This part I control
In the beginning you'll fear nothing
As I climb beside you
Time will be your master in this laborious part of
human subsistence
This part I control
Black clouds embraces your soul
Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish
When time takes your life
I will transfer you into the bare grip of thinking tranquility
Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating
Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness
Nothing can help you now
You'll never be alone again
You'll never die again
You'll never be born again
You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity

"Dead Eyes"

"Dead Eyes"


Throw it all away
Until we are erased
And it doesn't mean a thing

And I can't remember
What clear skies look like
Will I found out, that I'm late...
... for salvation

What if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away

This is my world now
I can't let you bring me down
Let this new faith guide me through
And things will come my way
Burn it down or join the line
Dead eyes will see again

Gravity takes control
Don't forsake my troubled times
I'm starting to regret not telling you
All the things I should have

Roll the dice just one more time
Don't let it slip away

I will be reborn

I'm gonna take the world on
Someday I will
I'm gonna take the world on
Someday I will

Throw it all away
Afraid I will drift on the open sea
I regret not telling you
All the things I should have

Roll the dice just one more time
Don't let it slip away

"Dead God In Me"

"Dead God In Me"


To slit the grinning wounds
from childhood's seven moons
the palette stained with the ejaculated passions
(of forbidden, hedonistic colors...)

Strike from omnipotence; all-seer, all-deemer
and haunt my severed country with your
dripping, secret games

You pick the unripe lilies
deflored and peeled the bleeding petals
made known to me
the grainy stains, the crimson lotus
of the Black-Ash Inheritance,
the semen feed of gods and masters
The worms still in me,
still a part of me,
racing out from leaking rooms,
swoop from broken lungs to block the transmission
to put an end to the nomad years

Father
you are the
dead god in me

"December Flower"

"December Flower"


Towards the rich archaic heavens; towards the lack diorama
you are the artist and the texture
that plays with the mantle of the Earth

When the bleakest of powders
lie rooted to the starched stones
and roots that feed the peaking trees
embrace the sleeping shores

Archaic pearls of sleep and death
the voice of December losing its breath
and the floweryard of whit and grey is haunted

White as the down of flaking snow,
the heroic emblems of life

Green is the color of my death
as the winter-guise I swoop towards the ground
Green is the landscape of my sorrowfilled passing

We are In Flames,
towards the dead archaic heavens
We are the mantle and the texture
the alters the mantle of the Earth

"Delight And Angers"

"Delight And Angers"


Everyday takes figuring out how to live,
Sometimes it feels like a mistake,
Sometimes it's a winner's parade,
Delight and angers,
I guess that's the way it's supposed to be...

[Chorus:]
Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable,
Lie and set me free

I feel the fear takes hold
Afraid this hell I create is my own
Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore,
This used to be my own world,
But now I've lost control

[Chorus]

Chasing leftovers,
Under the fading sun,
Searching for shelter,
I feel my time has come

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Deliver Us"

"Deliver Us"


Remind me I'm golden...
The fortress above the sun
Why don't you spend nowhere with me?
Follow the river and the path of the ones write our names
On the shore
Forever I can't find
Struggling in a world undefined
Decide how you want it to be
I'm not eternity
Fly into the distant
Disappear for a while
I can't make sense of this
But we're here today feeling alive
It starts to fall apart
Let me take control, reminisce
The days and nothing more
Something I will find again, deliver us
Can't hear the words you say
But it doesn't really matter?
I'll give the world to you, if you just
Fly into the distant
Disappear for awhile
I can't make sense of this
But we're here today ....alive
[Solo]
Fly into the distant
Disappear for awhile
I can't make sense of this
But we're in today alive
