Necromancer
Every passing moment showcases man’s destined
To lead an existence obsessed with clandestine
Operations to subvert one another, and that’s when
Chaos ensues and subdues the path stepped in
So let’s win the question and play for the answer
As lemmings in settings of the necromancers
Imperial cleansers washing phantom threats
That spread out like cancers quashing random debts
And dance a ballet to find how much is true
They had a way to create what love is for two
With old mind games recycled and replayed anew
To frighten the public and silence the few
Much ado about nothing, but trudging along
Through logic and reason with one side of a tong
But a thong’s on the boob tube
Join in the song
And see all the bright lights
And the chrome blinging strong

The Ugly
You think you’re like so hot
A real looker lookin top notch
With layers of makeup caked on your face
Powder and rouge all over the place
Botox makes you unable to frown
One shade of red from resembling a clown
And the way you walk screams out pretension
Like all your screams and acts for attention
Turn your nose up at those who show you some kindness
Because you don’t want them to know that you’re mindless
Nothing inside so you pile on the laughs
Know nothing else but how to spend cash
Tight fitting clothes reveal a slim figure
So slim your wrist is the size of a finger
You’re a gorgeous doll but only on the surface
Good for a rent but not for a purchase
You say you’ve been ugly since you were a baby
But you should smile more often pretty lady
You don’t how many guys are out there chasing

Copy written Copy cats
Patience for what you want and what you have will soon flourish
Laughing in the sun’s eclipse is a sign of true courage
Close your eyes, hold your breath, and run see
The importance your mind and body places on money
And the madness it brings comes down in torrents
Because everyone else believes the paper’s important
I admit it’s necessary to get by on this turf
But success hardly equals every penny you’re worth
- Copy written copy cats purring on their master’s lap
Did God create man for Her own private screening?
Or did man create God to give his life meaning?
I believe in something much greater than myself
But not because I was told to by somebody else
Something’s keeping me breathing when I wake morning
If there isn’t, well I'm only here for the moment
There’s no way out of here so I hang on to my grin
Looking out of windows I can never look in

Pictures
The thoughts in my head are about as certain as the weather
I always want them witty but they don’t come out…
Like that
And I gotta go back to the drawing board, sharpen my pencil
Cause I can’t buy metaphors
Like I can buy stencils
So the sand keeps falling 'til my mind is all clear
And ideas stop spinning
Like I’m drunken off of beer
Then I stare and I leer in the direction of nothing
Soon ugly comparisons look
Like that little duckling
The swan looks great but must still fly to paper
And stick...
Nah that’s too easy, I’ll think of something later
An hour has passed and I see the top half of the glass
I’ve got two good lines now
But I’ll save ‘em for last
What I need is some inspiration

Go On This Way
Manipulated in situations, folks aren’t situated unless war is public and then incorporated
Life can’t go on this way
Profiteers at the helm or the cockpit relaying the doctrine as they dropp massive profits
Life can’t go on this way
Private armies immune to all the laws that sing tunes to good ole boys and oil tycoons too
Life can’t go on this way
Minters pay cells broken off like a splinter to collect falling money from a nuclear winter
Life can’t go on this way
Words and deeds simmer, watch for a shimmer of hope before the blast or the glimmer
Life can’t go on this way
Deals over green need a trimmer and a lobbyist for dinner, the fattest patriot is winner
Life can’t go on this way
Can’t catch a breath like a swimmer in the navy, lil kids killing babies, Palestinians, Israelis
Life can’t go on this way

Jambalaya
My star treks through the sky from roots uncertain
And sees the new world through new eyes like LeVar Burton
My dreams are always on the clock and they don’t stop workin
But I must choose between eating, or keep my knowledge thirstin
To become more than I am, or join in with the herd and
Stick to the path made by the white man’s burden
Because nothing comes for free in this land of milk and honey
There’s nothing to laugh about if you don’t have the funny money
And if I could teach the whole wide world to live in harmony
My first test would be to see everyone empty out the armory
I’d pass along that I challenged every challenge put in front of me
Relied on myself since there was always only one of me
To get everything that you’ve never had
You must do everything that you’ve never done
Make an impact that you're sure can last
Like a raisin when it hits the sun

Red Book
The way of what is to come are the dreams of a man made mad by some
Things rambling's converge on one point that's spread across time
And through space in the face of a race that never tires the mind
Your business of demons surrounding the fortress, pitching their
forks
Ringing in chorus
As one great big howling moon armored to the teeth
Talking to no one where no words can speak
The truth buried beneath the conscious mask worn by the shadow willing to bask
In vast flasks concentrated with sunlight
But
Graciously bows out
Then gouges its eyes out
To watch itself sleep tight in the dark wake of the night
During firefights between shattered thoughts scattered thoughtlessly with banality
Midway beyond the mayhem of a blood-soaked mentality
Where screaming monsters are routinely ignored by the maniacs of reality
And each of its variations
Softly serenading
All of the bats in the belfry until they fly out and start separating

DeLeon
When I was a younger man
I laid out a master plan to live forever young on this evergreen land
All the fruits of labor I could savor each flavor
Over and over and my tastes wouldn’t waiver
Warm breeze after breeze would freeze
The hot summer days and cool shades into my memories
Sunsets would never be done yet, unless
My eyes were hungry enough to take one rest
But the years dragged on
Jets lagged on bored with the sky fumbling paper bags on
Crisp suit after suit with matching briefcase and boot
Shuffled here and there as noisy as a mute
Doldrums in cauldrons of troubling frays
Took the green away and replaced it with mostly grays
I felt smarter and sharper but sadder and madder
I was eyes without a face and hands without a ladder
I was forced to partake
Of the empty star fakes and feel the bitter heartaches

Sink or Swim
The rich get richer and the poor die trying
If you mention this, the rich call you defiant
Unruly and attempting your hand at inciting
Mindless violence and maybe some riots in
Posh sections of town lost up on the hills
Guarded by heaters, tucked away from the chill
Of broken furnaces and shredded blankets
Dim streetlights and flooded embankments
Shivering rags readily welcome the weather
While quivering bags hold eyes shady as ever
“Better dot your I's and cross the other letter
Or you’ll never get it and crack up like leather
Fetch a education to raise up your station
Your stature in life and your bank notation”
The message burns ears to the brink of cremation
As creation
Of sink or swim rules bans their flotation
Devices from ever being deployed

Why We Fight pt 2 (Reload!)
We got catapults—to erase your faults
Take our years of built fears and smash ‘em all on the walls
Shoot ‘em one! Shoot ‘em two! Poison knives in your shoe
Shoot ‘em three! Shoot ‘em free! Till there’s nothing to shoot
Reload!
Get the lead out and head out to meet with the man
Hiding down south with his head in the sand
Iron clan jousting to hear the crowd roar
Shoot ‘em three! Shoot ‘em four! Go for more!
Reload!
How much more destruction does anyone need?
More than too much, until your blood bleeds
Break in the hulls of the skulls with the hammer
Tear down the halls with the balls from the cannon
We got swords for warlords who don’t like machetes
’47 Kalashnikov standing guard at the ready
Steady with that axe Eugene whenever you roll but
