Death Before Dishonor

listen
people silent and children crying
out upon this home front we bravely defend
 our men out there
constantly dieing 
hoping 
for revenge
upon those who smote the stares and stripes
open blaze America spirit
pure and bright
against shallow shores
we must bear
our souls to our enemy

stand!
listen, you all
our country, glory and pride
she needs us now
stand and fight
for it is always
death!
before dishonor

shhhh...listen
hear the drummer boy's call?
quick!
men, gather your women and children
say goodbye
for fight, we must do
straight ahead for the fires of hell
our enemy has shamed us
out of nowhere we will come
bearing down upon them as a force of one

bring pity to the fool 
who has rattled the wrong cage
chase him across the ocean so blue
beat him until he is red
and his world turns white
let them hear out roars of barbaric victory
defeated blood flows through the sea
separate our forces
and fly our flag high
can you see our pride?

don't retreat once we are there
punch forward
make their defenses bare
make them suffer the consequences
and have tattooed across their hide:
death before dishonor
that is the only rule
an undefeated policy
now come
brave men of America
fight
for it has always been: 
death before dishonor

Lost Hero

i keep calling but no one answers
is there a reason for this distraction?
i need help, this world is turning faster
no one is there for me
no reaction
there once was a hero, waiting for me
now there's no one, for all i can see
i'm tumbling to fast
i can't hold my frustration back
all due to the lack of time and aim
i don't want to play this game
I've lost my hero, my savior, my life
what am i supposed to do? which way would you choose?
I've lost my hero, nowhere in sight
I've lost my hero, it's my turn to fight
I've lost my hero, lost hero
there's no end in sight

Darkness

darkness settles slowly upon the lost soul
 still moving boundless and within
that sweet twilit night
upon the tender mouth that uttered those words
i fell deeply
never to return
sweet breath of one i love 
never again to be felt
 a gentle kiss leading the mind to believe
a lie you have thrown to me
i thought i knew you well my love
but now darkness does take me
a soul i have lost
unbearable to think
but my life i would give for you
take away the dreaded pain you give me
 for i return your love you once said
in love with a fraud 
ashamed to say
but, like all fairy tales
it had to end someday
darkness swallows the bright soul 
darkness holds the mind hostage
try as i might 
but i cannot sleep at night
for the darkness of your lies has swallowed me whole

One Kiss

one kiss brought us together
that same one has pulled us apart
all lost in that one simple moment 
never a thought that we would be apart
one kiss

the simple bliss you brought to me 
never fell apart but simply
i lost hope 
never again shall i love another 
for my heart has been stolen
by that one simple kiss
it hurts me so 
to let you go
but a fool i have made of myself

its my fault
i used you as a scapegoat
to not think about him
lost in that one kiss
i'm sorry for the lie i told you 
wish i could take it back
two guys has caught my eye
both hate me
i lied to one 
and one i thought i knew

but that one kiss
given to me by the wrong guy
that one kiss
left me in simply misery 
his one kiss

Hatred

don't mess with me
i've already told you
stock me again 
i dare you 
why do you come around 
even when i threaten to kill you
i'm sorry to say i can't love you
and for that you won't go away 
is your life not important to you?
in love with no one but my work 
my skill and ability 
not willing to place my heart
in reach of cupid's nasty arrow
for all i get is used and lost 
but for the pain i take nothing
you have lead me to believe 
that you enjoy this game
of cat and mouse
for you drive me insane
please for the last time remember
to think of me with harm you 
and to touch me will kill you
hatred
it's all i feel toward you
hatred 
i'm very familiar with this
hatred 
a minor that i refuse know excists
has felt the wrath of my hatred
this does not give me bliss.....

Separation Issues

no one truly wants to be separated
from this world
things they love and grown up with
things that will never be replaced
but nothing seems to matter anymore
all the love that's been created 
now seems to be destroyed
how did all  of this happend?
when did it begin?
are we living in a new age hell?
creatures walk among us
though we never see
that our separation issues show
from sea to shining sea
it's not death that is feared
it's separation
pure desperation
to hold onto something solid
to never let go
of what we create
and what we know
our separation issues seek
others we can hold onto 
our separation issues show 
this we know
and we attempt to hide them

Baby

baby
our love
it's like a super nova
it can't be contained
it's almost umwordly,
our passion,
so deep and alive
with each passing breath
my soul is revived
 in your arms
i feel my strength return

Lie To Me

please,
don't lie to me anymore
i am to weak to bare
my soul
these lies you say to me
it kills me so
that much more
please,
if you are
a decent person,
you will only say to me
what is true
but if you wish for only my pain
leave
for that gives you no gain
only for you do i wish
the greatest punishment
but alas it shall not come
for i am a fool
found constantly by your side
how many more ways
can you watch me die?
this i ask of you, one simple thing
please
don't lie to me
for i will sit here and weep

You An Me

you and me baby
we'll fly high on the wings of angels
together we will conquer the world
and in our love, our riches lay

we'll climb the tallest mountian
and come out on top
we'll dive down deep to the bottom
and see the ocean so blue for all it's glory

we'll run bare foot across the world's beaches
the colors of our love caught in the sunset
and late at night,
whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears
our love soon felt
upon that glorious moment

put your hand in mine and join me
a journey through the days
for baby, i want to be with you forever
and look into your love struck gaze
for eternity...

White Lines

there's a little girl
she's only 14
lost with nowhere to go
met an older guy
told her he loved her
got her pregnant
then he left...
had to find a job
to keep up with his habit
he couldn't put the crack pipe down
destroyed every relationship
because he's always high
and could never come down....
the bottom of the glass
there's a little bit left
but then he's all out
a drunk and a slob
fried from his job
and he doesn't seem to care
as long as he has his daily fix
without it, he doesn't dare...
white lines of lost human souls
white lines of an overpowering addiction
white lines in every way sold
and till death
human spirit soars
high in an intoxicated state
never coming down
without previous knowledge of the past
they're lands them in a padded room
try to warn them
but they wont believe
disappear
honest thought, ill conceived
for many these addicted souls
help came to late
and now all they see is white lines....
