good conscience smirks~
veiled beneath the weight of pride
truth unmasks my lies
Can you grasp the thunder?
Can you hide its flashes from an overflowing river?
Can you pay your river Life a hideous win?
Can you call yourself a mercenary who is stained?
I want to tag you under the umbrella of twisted fame,
I want to hide you between the mischievous game,
I want you to quit the possession you adore the most,
Your appearance on every stage is just like a blissful ghost.
You want to attain prospectus fame,
Thunder is always a strikingly fanciful name.
You wish to call it by your name,
You want to dedicate yourself to a superficial aim.
Can your audience watch out for your audacity?
To you, the river is always an auction house of unbridled necessities.
To run from the light is to embrace the nightlife,
To live in the darkness is quite a harsh dive.
I want to present you a few drops of nectar from my sorcery,
Do you wish to call it your dazzling supremacy?
Do you want it to be the cockiness of a fleeting river?
You are nothing but a callow diver.
Father above,
why are we dying?
No matter how hard we try
we can’t stop mothers from crying.
Everything we see.
Hear. Read.
In this place
is only to mislead
Those in power
Cheat. Lie. Steal.
They’re hidden agenda
we’ve began to reveal.
Why can’t we try
to unite
to come together
and fight.
Too many brothers
bleeding
Too many fathers
leaving
Too many sisters
being raped
too many mothers
being abused.. on tape
Our Heavenly Father
is growing tired
of your blatant disrespect
he’s about to put your asses in check.
that i might love as
lovers do
and make woman want and need me
then they shall stand before me
to be mine
the need of belonging
the soughted bare
thus must I havest thee as mine
the keepsake of love
that as lovers we might engage to
be in love
thus the creation of our togetherness
might have others to wish us apart
curse them that we have now
to be together
curse them that they wish us apart!
HAVEST ME
AS LOVER
HAVEST ME
OH THOSE WHO WISH US
STRAINGED AND UNRAVELED
HAVEST ME
AS LOVER
HAVEST ME
THAT I STRAIN FOR
LOVE HAVEST ME!
WAST THE NIGHT
WE HAVEST TOGETHER
MAKE US LOVE
EACH OTHER
HAVEST ME
THAT I STAND IN THE DOORWAY OF FOREVER
AND OPEN THE DOOR TO LET YOU
IN HAVEST ME
MIGHT I SEEP IN YOUR EMOTIONS
AND SMILE IN HAPPINESS
MIGHT I STAND BEFORE YOU AS LOVER
HAVEST ME.
As I travel through the places in my mind
Your the one thing I can't seem to find
Or leave behind
So would it be possible to unwind
The love that has been so blind
Not able to escape my mind
Because now is our time
We should not mind our love from the past
No matter what I try to let go by
Your spirit still lives within me
That allows us to fly so high
Then here you come reminding me
How much I need to see
How happy and free
You have always made me
As your love surrounds what I see
Like a giant majestic tree
So let's bury what was so scary from the past
To unmask what we know makes it last
We both have enough smarts
To know what our lives were like living apart
So let's get a new start
When we depart to be on our way
To a new kind of day
When you see what kind of life
I have planned for you my future wife
We need not ask ourselves why
Or try to justify what will no doubt fly by
Where our love rises to kiss the sky
Making it possible for our hearts to rein high
Unmask the fool
Who openly dishonors
What love really is
And who suffers from it
Who openly says that
Who suffers from no love
From it he shall die
What love could he have
Openly dishonors everyone
Unmask-ing the truth
The fool only loves pain
Love really is more powerful
Than all of this
