Human Right
The pain
of an unjust world
The deep rooted evil
of some of mankind
A pain so deep
it keeps me alive
but one day
I fear it will
eat me alive
Swallowed up
by the twisted lives
of the undignified
Unless we stand and fight
For the human right
Justice can't hide
for all of our lives
There's got to be

Memories Of A Child
Voices in the wind
faces in the night
nightmares of a child
living in my head
They fade and they fade
until I sleep at night
then they come back and find me
and infect my mind
But all I do is smile
because I know
those memories are dead
They can come back and haunt me
if they feel the need
I don't really give a damn
Because I'm alive
and living my life

Drugs And The Cheats
I put my head
In these hands
of despair as I see
The drugs and the cheats
What kind of man
Wants to see that
on the streets
They take over the town
Selling their brown
Whats it going to take
For someone to bring them down
Maybe it's time
They took their own brown
Then lets see
If they can stand their ground
One way or another

Souls Of The Churchyard
Looking out of the
stained glass window
at the churchyard graves
Watching the souls of the dead
rising and intertwining
with the souls of the living
As I step out of church
and adjust my eyes
to the daylight sky
I feel a soul step into me
and say...
I'll see you when it's your time
But for now live and love
because if your living
someday you have to die

River Of Lies
I'm lost
in a river of lies
Caught in the current
of this human trait
There's somethings in life
you can do nothing about
You just have to wait
until people see for themselves
That there's people with two faces
who fool everyone around
They'll lie to you
They'll steal from you
They'll believe their own lies
to keep their way of life
Watch out for this kind

Lucid Dreams
A ricochet of thoughts
running through my head
in these lucid dreams
I've always Had
Thoughts of the living
Thoughts of the dead
all merge together
leaving me not knowing
who is alive
and who is dead
When I wake up
the thoughts come flooding back
as I see the bruises
where they grabbed me and said
don't go back
Only then do I know
who is living

The Beast 3
Storms of violence
Storms of lies
Storms of a family
with no friends
Just a street full of lies
with dead and decaying lives
They should have stopped
what they did know
because at the end of the day
they knew it was wrong
Life in prison
should give them time...
Time to think about
all the wrongs they did do
Because they won't ever
be going home again
The beast is gone

What Was Your Fear?
You should've said what you were feeling,
You should've talked to me...
It seems like only yesterday that you helped me...
I wish I could've helped you...
What were you thinking? What was your fear?
Couldn't you hold on, for one more day?
Nothing can be so bad to make you want to disappear.
What was your fear?
There's no fear in heaven...
Just a place of peace for you...

My Love
I used to lie
Down at night
And close my eyes
And see my demons
Looking back at me
But then I dreamed
A dream of my love
Watching over me
I saw you
In my dreams last night
I saw you in the moonlight
Said you'd come to stay
Said you'd never go away
Said you'd see me in the real life
Said you'd change my life
When I lie

Street Of No Tomorrow
On the street of sorrow
the street with no tomorrow
the fires of rage and hate
burn deep inside,
a flame that never dies
Sadness and happiness
are the same to the people
who remain strangers
in this street of pain
Nobody caring
everybody just keeps on walking
nobody wants to know the people
on the street of no tomorrow
Always remember
there but for the grace of god
it could be you
