As The Wind Blows

As the wind blows
and the trees
rustle and sway

Is it just the wind
or is it them...
The living dead

They come when you sleep
Watching and waiting
ready to take your soul
and make you one of them

As the wind blows

From The Grave

I'm Walking
through a graveyard
late one night
Not feeling quiet right

I feel like
I'm not really here
I can't feel my heart beating

Then something grabs me
from a grave
I say
Who the hell are you

They say
I am you

The Devils Past

Fading faces
of the devils past
You almost forget
they was ever there

Until they reappear
casting their spell
with their cheating
and lies

Then as quick as they came
they are gone
Just waiting to reappear
once again

A Child Becomes A Man

Scars of the mind
that will never heal
things that we have seen
that don't seem real

We are the survivors
in a world of dreams
dreams that we should
never have had

A child becomes a man
scared of the past
he once had

Poverty In A Modern World

An egotistical backlog
of creditors
waiting in line

Waiting
to take the cloths
off your back
and the skin
off your bones

All to make money
and to make you broke
while the politicians
they got into power
laugh and smirk

Say A Little Prayer

A prayer for the living
a prayer for the dead
a prayer for the soul
a prayer for the world

It doesn't take long
and it could save
your soul

What have you lost
if you say a little prayer

What could you lose
if you don't

The War Is Coming

Sitting and waiting
for the war to begin
we know it's coming
it's just a matter of when

We can change our minds
but we can't change the man

The man
with the built in mechanism
to destroy all that he can

The war is coming

Angels Of Peace

I hear the angels calling
I hear their songs of peace
They are calling me
to the land of hope and glory

Where war and peace
go hand in hand
No killing no murder
No hate
No rape
Just peace

Oh for the land of
hope and glory

The Blues

The blues of my life
play through my mind
as I strum my guitar
to the beat of my heart

The notes are the years
the strings are the falls
the songs are the faces
the tears are the places

We've seen it all
these blues and me

We Are The Blame

Falling skies
Falling buildings
Falling people

As the world is ending
We are the cause
We are the fault
We are the blame

We are the people
who wanted more and more
from a world that gave
all it could give

We are the blame
