The Messenger

When we protect those that wait
There’s a place for our stones along the interstate
Wings and feet, both led to us to the same fate
Conductor of souls, lead us away from our home
Conductor of souls, come and usher us away into the afterlife
Traveler, did you find your reason or have you been blinded by deceit?
Traveler, are you weary or have you found your defeat?
Messengers, loyal to the words of gods
We find time
For our crimes
Over again in our minds
When our shells are made anew
The first thing we do is use another excuse not to choose
In the end it’s given away
Confessions only for confession’s sake
Arrogance, arrogance
or is it an invention of thought
The environment of truth but not from the heart
Exhaust all the roads that keep us lost (forever lost)
Messengers, loyal to the words of gods
We find time
For our crimes
Over again in our minds
We’re starting to listen, starting to choose
One man’s treasure is another’s abuse
Messengers, loyal to the words of gods
We find time
For our crimes
Over again in our minds

The Shield

Set off the trumpets, string up the noose
Prepare for the one to make way
Bury your head in the sand if you choose
The night always turns into day
To arms, to arms
The beast lives inside and threatens to tear us apart
Take heed, take heed
Destroying us piece by piece
Our bones are weak
Beg for the noose
All you can hope for is to,
Pray for peace
Pray for blood
Pray for reason
Pray now
Make way
There are no words that the sword can’t say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Surrender
Make way
There are no words that the sword can’t say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Living behind the shield
We’re forced to battle and fight for our homes
Armored only with terror and hope
The flood will remove us from what we love most
This day is written in stone
Broken
Not defeated
Broken
It’s still worth saving
Make way
There are no words that the sword can’t say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Surrender
Make way
There are no words that the sword can’t say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Living behind the shield
We’ll go to war and we’ll make them pay
We’ll draw them out of their caves
Swallow your anger, swallow your rage
Violence will make you a slave
Suffering
Victory
Suffering
Suffering, suffer for vanity
Misery, misery will come to be

The Hammer

They threw me in the sea
Battered and broken, by those who never wanted me
And now I rise, the embers in hand
Watching and waiting because I cannot stand
No, I cannot stand
Watching and waiting because I cannot
Give it a name, it was bound to me
Taken my way, my way to breathe
Give them a name, they’re bound to me
Finally, darkness now it flees
My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again
The mountain is tired, the mountain is cold
Where will they run to when everything burns
To ashes and cinder
Finally faded, the silver and gold
Will they accept me when everything’s gone?
Glory and grace, valor and…
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that’s not mine
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that was never mine
My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again
Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains
Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains bound to the unknown
Bound to the unknown
Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains bind us
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that’s not mine
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that was never mine
My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again
