Achieve

Wrapped in a mental
image of one's self
with no way out

Caught in the crowd
walking towards repetition
into the same life
as everybody else

Unwrap yourself
leave the crowd
see what you can do
with your mind
and your hands

Rise My Soul

Rise my soul
watch over me
as I rise to be free

Rise my soul
watch the crow
fly free

Rise my soul
as I fight
for freedom and peace

Rise my soul
let them see
freedom is not a sin
it's for people like
me and him

Rise my soul

Fire Of Hate

A raging
fire of hate
descends like
a blanket of smog

Covering people
Sealing their fate
Turning them
into something
to despise

Thus making us
just like them
Hate is hate
no matter how strong

Is this what
the world has become

Mirror Images

Faces in the mirror
faces in the past
faces in the future
faces from a different world

Faces in the mirror
looking back
all for the life
they once had
all for the life
they should have had

All my faces
all my lives
looking back

Time Slip

I thought I was dreaming
but it turns out
I wasn't even sleeping
I'd walked into a time slip
and gone back to victorian time

For a split second
I watched people walk on by
Then I blinked
and time came back
to the place I recognize

Casted Shadows

A casted shadow
falls upon your shoulders
a part of life
that can't be divided

It's like
a crucifixion of Christ
nailed through the hands

It will stay for eternity
unless you stand up and fight
don't let the shadows
run your life

Dream World

I dreamed a dream
That I laid down on the bed
Put a gun to my head
Pulled the trigger

Now is it in my head
Or am I now dead
Am I in this world
Or am I in the next

Where does the real world end
And where does the dream world begin

Back In Time

As I travel
back in time
to where
it all began

I hear
People talking
of a ghostly figure
right near
where I am

I turn around
to see
but all there is, is me

Then someone
walks straight
Through me
and says
Someones

Set Them Free

Screaming faces
crying for help
screaming souls
begging to be set free

In each and everyone
of us is the key
to set them free

Stories to be told
in the eyes that
turn us blind

lets not protect
the guilty
lets set the innocent free

Stand Tall

Wondering around
like a man
with no soul

I couldn't hide
I couldn't lose the fight
I had to stand tall
and find my soul
reunite and fight the fight

Everyone will kick you
when your down
But if you stand tall
They will soon back down
