Of Gods and Soldiers

A walk so brazen
A walk so bold
A walk so true
A walk so broken
A walk so cold
A walk with you

Godless heathens who pray to the heavens
For parlay, forgiveness, recourse
Prayers
To see parties, happiness and of course
Families and children whose moments they will treasure forever 
If a part of them must be lost to the devil's players
Then never will time never be spent ever
With the ones they hold close, and together
With the loved ones they treasure

Violence of action is cruelty
Violence of words is freedom
But in my opinion truely,
The two are for the most part even
Treason is treason with pen, voice or sword
For a God or plant, animal or man
For all men, the gods have a plan
For all men, godly laws are sworn

A soldier's life in battle
Is a sacrifice in honor
Not of country nor government
Not of a mother or a daughter
A sacrifice in honor 
Of a great and sacred covenant
Bonds between men and gods
Are evident, relevant

Though the truth may be hidden in smoke and mirror
Or Cloak and dagger
Or behind Shield and spear
Courage and fear
Will connect gods with men forever
The courage to do what in your heart is right
To sacrifice your very life
To give your spirit to a god
Who you may not believe in
If such a god exists, he believes in you
In this I am believing
Of this, I know is true

Future

People always wish to see the future
In order to see if they will be
A loser
A begger
A chooser
So will we 
Get to be what they want to see?
I don't see that fate for you, them, or me

We are confused as a society, history is a circle
Politicians and terrorists
Are the disciples
Of villains, bandits and the penniless
Why do we not try to break the trend,
Instead of advancing in sophistication and start over again?

It is unfortunate when even the smart are simple
When being backwoods is as common as a pimple
Or a dimple
Or a star in the sky
When the sons of current people are the sequel
And we share the similarity of forever proceeding to die
Without change in the circle
Without change in our ways
Without jumping the hurdles
Without altering our fates

If you get a crystal ball from that gypsy that is true
Here is what that ball will show to you
You will see either a backtracking of your life
With your child in it
Or darkness will overtake the light
And our world will stop spinning with it
Because our future is devoid of change
Everything will always basically be the same
Until all life has been exploded into the stars
Then there will be no reason to pursue your fame
But on this universe, our world will no longer be a painful scar.

Nightlife

Walking down the alley, out of the bar

Walking past the dumpster

Hooker heels hanging over the edge

A slight chuckle from my lips as i see her severed head

Turning to a violent howl at the dishonored dead

I gnawed at the skin on my arm till it bleed

I will let it bleed while I sleep in my bed

Bed? Hah, I mean my garbage bin

On top of this hooker, I will sleep

Not now but later, I still must creep

I must feed myself off of the tears young couples weep

As I sever the connection by slitting the throat

Of the man, who's woman is wearing his coat

Her eyes well and water

Her thighs are wet as her virginity I slaughter

I leave her to rot, her pain enforced by my pleasure

I murder two cops , I knit one corpse a sweater

I move fast as the wind, I'm light as a feather

You won't even know I'm there when I use you for pleasure.

From 11pm to 6 depending on the season

Sometimes my work is abstract, sometimes there is a reason

From murder, to rape, to theft, to treason

Controlling the masses, I Am Legion.

The night is my playground, blood and pain are my swing and slide

I care not for my health, just whether you live, or I make you want to die.
