Brother

You are my only brother

The flesh of the mirror in my eye

Leaving this world of mine

To undertake your own for once

No longer in my shadow

Out from under my wing

Why do you have to go like this

Throwing all your dreams out the window

Wait and see, never rush with love

Your gift sits enthroned before you

Yet you don't see

But I'm cursed to see your gifts

You are my only brother

And I need you as support

I lift you as you lift me

So why walk away so that I may fall

In my times of trouble you are my help

Where will I get my help from

You have gone so far away

How will I stand to lose you

All for your selfish desires

They will soon die and you will be alone

Stay here brother and let me guide you

I've seen the world at war

Harsh and desperate is this place

Let me show you the way

Speak to my ghost and let him know

That weeping will do no good

I will make haste to bring you home

Don't throw your life away brother

You have so much to live for my friend

You're throwing it all away

You're seeking after the pretend

Realize you are more then this

Wake and know you are more then this

Rope Burn And Red Lines

What was the reaction you were expecting

When we found you hanging from the ceiling?

Shame or remorse, fact is no one cared

Nothing remains for the last parts have been erased

Lost from your eyes is even the cold

The building pain left with a final breath

Point made but never taken only to your heart

Calloused and bleeding, a horrid mess to mend

And that's why it never was

Careless are the remnant you left behind

So this will always be the day marked with fallen roses

Peddle by peddle they weep for you with no tears

Now for those who you thought were close

Were never close at all, and see they left you hanging

Staring up with eyes of confusion

They say that there was nothing they could do to save you

But it was all a lie, and they've lived in its grasp for all time

Twilight on a life that was shinning in midday

This should never happen with so many hands of hope around

Yet the noose was still slipped around your neck and pulled tight

Kicking back the chair you went into grief laced limbo

So for a briefness you swayed between pain and punishment

Desecrating the temple that was not yours, the idols fell prostate

Seeing for once that it all didn't matter but it was all too late

Now only you have paid the price that was already met

And those who were made to suffer, receive no judgement

It was all a facade, and you only know it now

But it's too late to come back, you've taken it too far

It's too late to come back

Deception

Witness the pain I bring

As furry falls from the sky with wrath

The deliverance of my people has come on harsh wings

Justice for the oppressed and judgement for the slaves

Those who called themselves holy

The flesh who stood before men and ordered worship

Today is the day that you are destroyed

Thinking it will all pass away with time

But time has no bearing on this punishment

It is the everlasting torture of my hate filled eyes

For your betrayal to your fellow man

So now I come with the ax and hammer

Tearing down your strongholds and your idols

The graven images of the self righteous

Put in place of the mercy seat of the almighty

Will burn with your bones over the graves of your prophets

No more deception, no more of your lies

Here I stand to take this pulpit of gold

Preaching a word that is of whole truth without the weakness you put through

Throwing away the pomp for true humility

My anger is the righteous hand of the Word

And it will be kept if by my life or death

So on this day you will stand before the great white throne

Receiving a crown on your head locked in place

Piercing into your scalp you bleed for what was issued

Pretending to speak for God when you raised yourself up as one

The author of truth was never found in you

So fire awaits at his final breath to consume you forever

Bow down one last and proclaim the revelation as it unfolds

I am the judge placed to lead the flock gone astray

Yet I am not as forgiving as the Divine who placed me in authority

Toleration is not in my vocabulary

Only the fire that lives in my bones that will wake the dead

Put your evil filled in my grave and watch as the demons flee

I carry the banner of the Great and Awesome One

So from this day forth

You will know His ways or you will one day know true pain

I Haven't Written You A Love Song In A While

Pale blue eyes look straight to my heart

As I warm your hands inside of mine

Holding you tight in that you won't let go

You are my hope and light

The one who brings a smile out of the dark

I love you so hard my sweet

I yearn for you with all that makes me be

And I will write you a love song

Everyday that I'm alive

OH OH I'll write you a love song

Everyday that you are mine

Let's repeat the best days

Over and over let's relive

So now let's take the new days

And love each other even more

Joy fills my cup as I kiss your gentle lips

Divine melodies begin as we embrace

Be mine be mine always and forever be mine

The apple of my eye, the wind beneath my wings

Keep the song going until the end of time

From everlasting to everlasting

My love with last the lengths of eternal time
