Legion

What's your name?
They call me, Legion
because we are many, now leave us be.

Hail thee, Lucifer Morningstar
For your praise, we sacrifice our souls
I heard one say is how we live

I stare in wonder, "shall we lie that we are with you?"
"Yes," they say
It is better being in a multitude of many than in a Legion of few

We remind them, their Father prefers truth
It is better we standalone
For he has promised to spew us from his mouth

They ignore and come in a rage of words
Before us they birth their arguments
One is named dumb and the other boring

Dumb cries of things he knows less
Confused, he speaks without meaning
Thinking faith = proof and theory = not proven

Boring is as his name
He tells of an end with infinite existence
We will spend that existence, singing and praising

They ask for repentance and return
Like faith is a switch you turn on and off
Do they think it is easy being us? Why don't they try.

They believe moral decadence begins with us
Such folly flows from the path of least resistance
As their faith closed the doors to reality

You tag us children of the Morningstar
Doesn't change the truth of your Father
He is to us, Santa Claus for adults

They're The Same, Not Me

Freedom is alienating
And reasoning is not becoming
In my world confirming is key

Every light and every sound
Plays the same in every town
And everyone thinks the problem is me

You can tell when they speak
The very next line to proceed
Because everyone is reading the same books

Books of culture and despair
A tomorrow with all gone
With today amounting to nothing

They look ahead to the dawn
Sell their lives to the dream
That one day it will be better when they meet

While I’m left in despair
A lonely man with no care
Whose today is all the tomorrow he will ever need

Bleed to Live

Every cut that bleeds me, keeps me alive
Sublime is every thought without you
Today is not better because they are coming
Me without you is death beyond reason

Afterlife will be empty without you in it
I will not settle to share you even in death
You are mine, all mine and soon we will be together
I’m sorry you are tied, but I fear you will run

Can you hear their sound, I smell them come?
They want to save you and leave me because I’m scum
Only you could save me with cuts that bleed
Because every drop of red, shows how much I need you

I cannot let you go, will never let you go
Until death do us part you are mine can’t they see?
Please stop the tears, you know what I must do?
I can’t live without you and I know you can’t too.

Don’t be afraid it will not hurt
I will make it quick so we will be as one
Today we share our last bleed together
I smile because every cut that bleeds me, keeps me alive

No One Not You

The pressure is tempting
Walking towards another beginning
Recording the scenes as I walk
To catch the best moments of this life in Hell

I stand watching as evil makes his claim
Telling us today is the first of the best
Each day to come will be one to remember
For we are members of this Hell oasis

It is our turn to shine out in glory he says
Making a paradise in these flames of Hell
Carving out victory as we stand and fight
With burning hearts and clenched fists shall we ride

Hurrah hurrah, we shout as he spoke
Geared up by his words, we marched towards doom
To make our claim of this celestial ground
None will stand when the Hounds of Hell roar

We have come to take our place
To have control of the seats right down to the plate
In the shadows, we grew waiting for this day
And none not even you will stand in our way

My Temple of Life

There’s fate
Whose job is to let me know when you’re down and need my presence
Even though words won’t uplift, my presence will always be found
Found silent right next to you

I still get the chills each time you look my way
My presence shrinks and I start to cave
The thoughts that send my heart racing
Are thoughts of us lying together face to face

You’re the reason I’m not dying inside
Before you there was no point to this life
You’ve added the reason to be alive
Even if that reason is to sit silently by your side

When you are reckless, I will be the brake for you
When the world turns on you, I’ll be your break from the storm
If it’s tempting, I will make the jump beside you
I’ll never let you drown alone in your tears
