The Law
Our hearts contrive
In foolish pride
We build our walls tall
And when we stand
In arrogance
In humility we fall
The law is set
Without regret
Or regard to human endeavor
As foretold
In days of old
We shall come forth as gold
Our hearts despise
Others' lies
Yet we sow our own
And when we rise
To justify
Our wickedness is shown
The law is iron
Despite our trying
To rage against the cage
Day by day
We find our way
Closer to His glory
Our minds expand
With sinister plans
What we thought was wrought
And when we lie
In our hole
The lesson has been taught
The law lives on
After we're gone
Never has a tittle changed
We ascend
While we wend
Through our lives deranged
In foolish pride
We build our walls tall
And when we stand
In arrogance
In humility we fall
The law is set
Without regret
Or regard to human endeavor
As foretold
In days of old
We shall come forth as gold
Our hearts despise
Others' lies
Yet we sow our own
And when we rise
To justify
Our wickedness is shown
The law is iron
Despite our trying
To rage against the cage
Day by day
We find our way
Closer to His glory
Our minds expand
With sinister plans
What we thought was wrought
And when we lie
In our hole
The lesson has been taught
The law lives on
After we're gone
Never has a tittle changed
We ascend
While we wend
Through our lives deranged
lyrics to: Aftermath
A cold gale crashes on a crumpled king
Dust dances on a dead dessert street
The wind whistles through abandoned skies
Snow blows and covers their crimes
In the darkest corners the whites of their eyes glowed
Seeking shelter with their backs to the wall
Crouching skeletons chewing on a dog bone
Kissing pigs feet where the buffalo roamed
They disappear into the shadows when the sirens howl
They turn to dust when the master calls
Like mice enticed by the pipers breath
They sullenly follow the rest into death
Dust dances on a dead dessert street
The wind whistles through abandoned skies
Snow blows and covers their crimes
In the darkest corners the whites of their eyes glowed
Seeking shelter with their backs to the wall
Crouching skeletons chewing on a dog bone
Kissing pigs feet where the buffalo roamed
They disappear into the shadows when the sirens howl
They turn to dust when the master calls
Like mice enticed by the pipers breath
They sullenly follow the rest into death
Like a Leaf
Like a leaf
adrift on the sea
While the wind whispers
through the trees
I can't get back
to where I should be
Like a lemming
lost in its' cause
Running rampant
through its' flaws
I can't get back
to where I was
I'm strung
I'm strained
Emotionally drained
I'm stung
I'm stained
Forever changed
Like a sand speck
blowin in the dessert
While time passes
without measure
Wishing I wasn't
waste under pressure
Like a thought
without intention
While doubts dance
through perceptions
Wishing to find
some consolation
I'm stuck
I'm stagnant
Tangled in a dragnet
I'm struck
I'm strangled
Mangled to a fragment
adrift on the sea
While the wind whispers
through the trees
I can't get back
to where I should be
Like a lemming
lost in its' cause
Running rampant
through its' flaws
I can't get back
to where I was
I'm strung
I'm strained
Emotionally drained
I'm stung
I'm stained
Forever changed
Like a sand speck
blowin in the dessert
While time passes
without measure
Wishing I wasn't
waste under pressure
Like a thought
without intention
While doubts dance
through perceptions
Wishing to find
some consolation
I'm stuck
I'm stagnant
Tangled in a dragnet
I'm struck
I'm strangled
Mangled to a fragment
