There's a darkness here and it's deep and cold
Like an endless year in winter's hold
Night has fallen…leaves rotten, calling out

There's a darkness here and it comes and goes,
But like a shadow moves, still it shows itself
Now forbidden, has spring safely hidden too?

Standing like the soldiers of a battle of a time beloved
All lining up in armies of one
Stranded like the lost and gone and vanished like the dark at dawn
Forgotten for unholy wars to come...
Once again this spangled banner torn and you alone again
So many like you ignored, left only to mourn...

The months and years have taken their toll

I hear the call of the siren, I hear the wail of the warning
Await the coming of sunset
From the dawning of the morning...

I hear the call of the siren, I hear the wail of the warning
Await the coming of sunset
From the dawning of the morning
Blinding distractions of worry...our focus shifted away

I’m standing beside myself, divide myself in two…to sharpen my blunted point of view
And every careful step I’m taking dares and my knowing legs are shaking
I’m trying to find myself, remind myself of the heart and how I have torn myself apart
The precautions that I am taking fail and my knowing heart is aching

Do you believe that our hands hold so little?
Do you believe that our hearts know so little?
Do you believe that our hands hold so little?

It lives within the cold rust of society
It rots beneath our feet on shaky ground
Deep beneath the skin of broken piety torn open
As each stone is overturned, our loss is found
It’s all just lies, blinding our eyes...eyes, blinded by lies
Lies, crushing our lives...lies, blinding our eyes

It's growing as we sleep and feeds anxiety

They're carving a circle, all fins and teeth
Their eyes on the living, sites set beneath
They swiftly attack, pulling and tearing with sharp words of "concern"
In blue and in black, the skin you are wearing removed with each turn
They smell blood in the water…there's death in the air

They're racing in circles so high overhead
Slow-dragging their shadows through fields of the dead

They're running from the state they're in
They're searching for a sanctuary
Alone and through the passage dim,
Weighed down beneath the doubt they carry
What's next for these?
What's next for these unmoving human statuary?
In shackles of their apathy
In chains too heavy for the climb ahead

Looking on, I see the stance
As you strain at the lifts and turns
Not at peace, no release from this beast
To which you're saddled even now
This weariness, a sentenced life
As you gaze into eyes long dead
You remand by a strand
Icy hands with which you grapple

And they plan in riddles, and they speak in lies,
And they hide in secret

From sinking ships they lick their lips
And bite the hand that that feeds 'em
Then turn their eyes and skip in time
And hold the hand that beats 'em
To them it is all the same... to them it is just a game

I've seen the hearts of men through the eyes of god
And what's living there is darker than we care to recognize
We've heard the word of god from the mouths of men
But what's deep within, ‘neath our hidden sin is cold, unmoved

Too few new...far-fallen and apart from the giver of life
Faux-piousness for righteousness
Behind the gleaming, only white-washed tombs

It's always is near me, whispering in my ear
It's sinister musings feeding the fear
This blanket of worry is draped 'cross my back
Surrounding me daily in silent attack

Outgrow this fragile shell, Tear down this self-made cell
Let go of this fragile shell, Let go and bid farewell

There's a root in mystery
Greater than the sins of Sodom
To remove all our history and erase all things forgotten
And just we're made of
Just what we're made of

We try to envision love, but we aren't able
Rejecting the truth that's in our minds, returning to fables

The worst laid plans of rats and men will always go astray
They come crashing down 'neath their own weight
To crush their feet of clay
In bold defiance, with blinding lust to reign
This dark alliance lays brick upon brick in vain

Bring peace through war, just as before
To feed the beast they bow before

Memories of shocking things
The outcryings at all we’d seen
They fade away, unwelcoming
It's all so very ordinary now

I recall the shocking things
The outraging and all they’d bring
We look away, not noticing

So hollow, you wallow…the mud your home
I've tried to lift you, but you're adrift to
Some other place alone

Will you not listen to reason?
Will you watch another season die?
With your will broken and beaten
‘til you fade into deletion?

I walk this thin line without purpose
Glean only pieces from the surface
Torn apart inside, bruised and battered pride
The boiling hotter than the burn is

I go numb again…
I go numb again…

Soulless golems lumber slow...within them nothing
Just passive and stiff
Through wretched methods driven frantic
Happily over the cliff
Tell me...have you nothing inside you repulsed by the sight?
Tell me...have you nothing that stirs you to fight?
'Cause I’m sailing against the tide lest I drift away
And they’ll strain the frayed if only to mold us...

When the ties that bind tore, unwinding
‘twas like you never saw it coming
And once the light inside you would not shine
Then I knew you'd never see as clear again

The water's deep, but blood is thick…one fills the soul, one makes us tick
Adjoined and whole, apart and sick for we are all symbiotic

Too blind to appearance to know a sheep in wolf's clothes
You see teeth and cower…you mistake a smile for a snarl
But I’m not just hollow and I’ll not justify
But never would I marry the dark and the light

Pierce the veil of the surface,
Unfold the things of the heart
Within the blessed call to acceptance

Something has cast a shadow evermore
Upon a world once bright
Smothering the light, baffling the bold
And cleaving the flesh from the bone

It tears from the top and weeds the single mind
Its turns and its twists undermine
By crushing the strong it leaves the runt

Through prideful darkness the blind will lead the blind
All bound in colored fetters
Never knowing, never learning, never caring,
Understanding what's at stake
Upon this world a letter
Written coldly and without shame in the blood of so many
Brandished boldly, the burned and maimed
Big Pharma's whore red-robed in gore would kill you

Clouds are rising above us
A storm is growing within us...the craving for knowing
The telling skies have spoken in visions, in passing
The deaf ears seeking shelter in forests of dogma
Where every branch is bent and broken
Bury what’s evident in shallow argument
Not able to believe in things greater than men
Than men, in things greater than men

I burn slow... I feel so cold inside, near paralyzed
This frame groans
This rage grows, glows inside... Bright alive
But even as I'm standing here now
It's like I'm not of this time
And even as you sit by my side i know we're not of one mind

I guess the less that's said the better

They groom their own, pass learned keys to palaces of ivory
On academic schemes, they're weaned unseen
Where from high atop their towers tall
It's easy to look down on all
Like promised seed, they bleed conceit
And dream of all the future brings

Out of reach, untouchable
