Pulling at the stringsTrying to control thingsChanging all the rulesJust to keep you in Holding all the powerUnwilling to retireStealing all the cashBut it will never last Decade plus of rulingBut still you are goingManipulating what you canProxy wars are everything Invading for some landAnnexing what you canNo insignia to seeClaiming terrorists are close byContinue reading “Insignia Gone”

Anxious
You feel the fear well up insideCan’t ignore as it won’t subsideYou hope that it will end soonReality is it’s feeding off you Another pit that fills with fearDon’t even know how you got hereClenching fists to direct the flowUnfortunately it just won’t go You gasp for air as you breatheYour chest is filling mentallyYou’dContinue reading “Anxious”
Pretend
You pound your head against the wallHoping that you are dreaming stillBut as the fog begins to fadeYou realise you are the slaveConsumed by what you hate mostWill you ever face that ghost? You slam your fist into everythingSure that it will help your failingEven as the anger risesYou still refuse to accept the blameSwallowedContinue reading “Pretend”
Actionless
Condemnation doesn’t mean a thingIts just a word for the eternal victimMasking hints of failed ascensionA race of people too busy fightingWhile the elected bicker like childrenThe act of doing has been stolen Restraint is just the new surrenderClaiming you are not the pretenderAs you wash your hands of bloodHow about you act for once?InsteadContinue reading “Actionless”
Total War
Carve at the face of the false GodsCry for vengeance and their bloodMarch for the home that they loveMake ash everything they adoreA knife in the gutAn end to the uproar Strip from the forsaken their callBurn down all that they made newStill another shot of deja vuThey twist words to their viewA noose roundContinue reading “Total War”
Hunted
Tearing chunks just to surviveAs you stare into the glowing eyesTeeth on show and sharp as knivesThe snarled growl just before the cries Plead for help that will not comeLost among the towering fernStepped into a wild old worldAs the barking continues to whirl Injured and caked in mudThe blood makes them salivateSniffing out yourContinue reading “Hunted”
Villain
Carve a hole into the heartAim to build a whole new startAs you take aim and fireMake sure to pray for desireWings of ash and insanityA spear of hatred breeds indecency Slice to ribbons your enemyBring forth the new diseaseWeave into the fabric of painSoon the world will be dead againHalo forged of shattered boneTheContinue reading “Villain”
Stare
Stare into the eyes as black as the night skiesHope for relief when you just can’t speakA catch in your throat that won’t be beatIs this the face that you wear this week? Are the reflections showing your failures?Or will you look at the positive behaviours?Just as the madness comes rolling inYou know that thisContinue reading “Stare”
New Dawn
Winds howl and rain buffetsHold on tight or you’ll be nothingRipped from the open armsSent across this lifeless landTaken from all that you knowThe storm of heresy does growAnother notch into the beltWithout remorse or consent Biting cold and burning iceWill you surrender tonight?As you fight to surviveWar is hell and so you striveTo beContinue reading “New Dawn”
Tick
Decided to add another post just to complete the week. This won’t be a regular thing, but it may happen every now and then. The clock hand is moving againWhen will you stop this thing?Starting to get the feelingThat you’re just going to be lyingAnother line to save your skinWhat a sad way of existingDiggingContinue reading “Tick”
