The Pirates Life For Me

yo ho yo ho into the horizon i go 
the wind at my back the wood under my feet 
a  treasure awaits calling my name 
the black flag ive raised warn those who see 
this beautiful dowry i call home 
a bounty still stands a price on my head 
they wont have a trial just shoot me instead 
ill plunge and ill plunder till the gallows call me home 
the pleasure it gives me sends chills through the bone 
i love this life gliding across the sea 
yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me

Lets Start a Fire

Lets start a fire for all the world to see 
The flames so bright they break the night and glisten gleefully

Lets start a fire to Break the chains and molds 
The heat so great it melts the forms eliminates the cold

Lets start a fire that sets our souls ablaze
A fire that burns brighter than the sun and burns throughout the days 

Lets start a fire so huge it reaches deep inside 
The corners of the earth glowing there is nowhere left to hide 

Lets start a fire that sparks forward the truth 
The flames so great it swelters forward the new fountain of youth 

Lets Start a fire for me and you to share 
Iv'e got the lighter who will join me lets burn away despair

Enter the Angel

I have been stricken with the feeling of life 
Her luminescence reaches to the inner most weak parts of me 
as she smiles i feel the worlds rotation as if were one 
the colors of earth turn to nothing while she radiates vividness from within 
The feeling of a complete and utter loss of all reality 
ive never been more entranced by such an angel 
the angel strips me of all my walls my strongholds crumble 
this being that came to be mine from the heavens above 
the last piece to the jigsaw of life 
my daughter my precious I created this child 
She brings out the best of me 
The diamond in the rough no longer hidden away 
I am so thankful i see her everyday

Shiver

the smell of midnight envelopes my nostrils 
here  i am stuck in the darkness
a sound from the corner starts the shiver 
once i had the light it consumed me whole 
the entrapment of the pleasure to see only what i wanted 
it stays in the damaged brain i now call a home 
ive adopted this new pleasure its gigantic 
whats waiting in the pitch black 
its coming soon to show me 
The sound from the infinite starts again the shiver

Release

Breaking the silence the storm begins to churn 
darkness creeps upon my being from every direction 
A lone lion stands at the doorway awaiting my breath 
the yellow eyes of evil staring at the shadow of a former man 
I remember the feeling of fear from when i was a young boy
Now nothing inside flinches as the predator draws near
I feel the breeze no longer move as the floor creaks beneath bloody paws 
the taste of the last cigeratte runs across my tounge 
I close my eyes as the shadow envelopes myself
The storm no longer burns through my body
Instead the peaceful retreat of nothing stays 
The yellow eyes at the door still waiting for my breath

The Window

Today i saw your face in the window 
it was me when i focused on the image 
you have given me the best of all memories 
the color fades from the picture that i hold in my hands 
the corners are withered so are my insides
if given the chance to hear your voice 
the emotions 
ill walk past this window once or twice a day
to see your face as i do when i look out onto the rain
the angels crying 
ive gotten this far since the lord took you home
ill get even farther when i look in the window
im thirty now as when you left i was fifteen 
believe me when i see the reflection
its not hard for this man to say sadly 
i miss my father this boy sometimes misses daddy

Pleasure Or Pain

when will i ever go into sleep mode 
i long for the dark sweet sense of nothing 
it rips at my body wanting to take over 
the fleeting feelings of the mind 
once the pain wears off im back to full speed 
i blister in the heat of the sensation 
painfull memoires of the years past 
look into the empty holes in my face 
is there anybody out there

The Road

The road leads to somewhere 
the toll sometimes greater than needed 
the road leads to nowhere 
the dead end ever dreaded 

The road is filled with hazards 
always keeping you bent on edge 
The road is filled with sympathy 
always allowing you to continue forward

The road is Never shaped the same 
always bent and contorted 
The road is long and contused 
choose to walk ride or run 

The road is full of passion 
life love and happiness 
The road is full of Aggression 
Anger pain and turmoil 

The road is always changing 
never allowing you to get comfortable 
The road is always demanding attention 
Always making you the decider 

The road will always be there 
even if you stray of path 
The road will always guide you 
if you feel youve lost your way 

The road may be hard to see 
through rain and snow and dark 
the road will lead to everything 
The road is beating to the same tune as your heart

Maybe Tomorrow

The moon settles into the midnight sky 
the pale light strikes my skin 
a glimpse of dark torture 
Silence in its most splitting form 
alone i stand in the narrow river of life 
echos of the past clamor about 
smiles and tears anger and love
they touch the soul deeper than any fortunes can
i have been down i had a beautiful life 
silence escapes giving way to the beat of my heart 
maybe tomorrow ill find the way home 
perhaps the path will soon be clear 
the moon settles into the midnight sky 
the pale light stands with me free to break the darkness

Woods of Lone

Its a long road when your all alone 
Traveling through the dark no signs of light 
The demon pulls me off the trail 
the road disappears from underneath me 
I allowed myself to turn away from the good
now I wander through the forest of solitude 
Thorns dig into my hands as I reach out ahead 
Ripping the skin and burning the flesh
The ground trembles as I travel farther 
Farther into the thickets filled with sorrow 
Voices scream all around me, Their cries I cant make out
I feel what they feel deep inside 
The ball begins to tighten pulling vigorously at my heart 
The demon flees from inside me afraid to continue as I go deeper 
Suddenly now im frozen I cant hardly breath 
The trees show their true form frowning upon my dark soul 
angry snarls fade to silence as they slowly part above me 
a Pale light now appears in the middle of the dark 
No sky no stars no clouds just the moon 
He speaks and calls me a fool then turns his back to me and disappears into nothing 
The trees once again peering into me 
I feel their arms reaching for me still frozen in place 
As they get closer I feel the brush on my cheek
The ground opens and swallows me now a smile on his face
