Shadows in the MusicThe difference between good and evil,
Is sometimes hard to observe,
Both, at times, require you to stand firm,
At times, both require you to kneel
One denotes a moral state of mind,
The other quite the reverse
So much has been done in the name of both,
That it's hard to decide which is worse

Many of us struggle with the perception,
We find ourselves debating everyday,
And yet when the fighting is over,
We find that nothing has really changed
This need to judge people for being right or wrong,
Compels us to lose ourselves in a fight,
A fight that consumes all our days,
And that can never truly be won

There is no justification,
WickedlyAll their wicked words,
Cut me to the core
I have heard them all too many times,
And I can't take them anymore
All their dark designs,
And all their evil deeds,
Sicken me all the more,
Because of their wicked greed

I'm glad I don't live my life...
So wickedly

Their wicked lies!
They deprive!
Me of my sanity
It's all I ever hear from them,
And now I refuse to believe!
I wonder how it feels,
To be depraved and diseased?
I wonder how it feels,
To live so wickedly?

Their days are so full,
Of such wicked thoughts
I wonder why I fight anymore,
Sometimes it seems I'm not
Their sinful reassurance,
Just sends me into a rage
Ev
All That RemainsI've lived my life,
By throwing up walls,
That anyone could see...
I've hidden all the passion,
Hidden all the blame,
Hidden everything that makes up me...
It used to seem...
That I was always hiding...

Hiding from the world,
Hiding from the shame,
Hiding from tomorrow,
And hiding from today...

But if you strip away my armor,
If you strip away my pain,
If you strip away all that I've lost,
And leave me all I've gained,
I am all that remains

I am all that remains...

I've taken all I could,
Even when I knew it would,
Only hurt you and me...
All the love that I've felt,
Had been so disguised,
I felt forced to deny...
And
EverBlaze: DelusionI'm watching the sky and the clouds,
As they roll by at night
The smell of fear upon the wind,
Fills me with a quivering delight
What a sight I see...
It seems the clouds are my victims,
And they floating down after me!
And I can't speak...
It would seem...
That my delusion,
Has finally caught up with me

The winds of change,
Are trying to blow me away!
But I will do everything I can,
So that I can remain!
In my mind,
Are living images of pain!
The delusion is so real...
And yet so strange...

I can hear their voices,
Each and every one
They are speaking of retribution,
For all the things I've done
The justice they have
Fiery ImperfectionsI am drawn like a magnet,
To something they say I'm not supposed to have(Too bad!)
And there are no solutions,
That I can see to be had
I could balance one in each hand,
And I don't know which would win
God, please, help me now!
How did I end up like this?!

Each one has got...
Everything that I love!
Each one has got...
Something of which I can't get enough!
I don't confess to know the future,
Or what it has in store,
Because each one has fiery imperfections...
That make me love them more

It might be that distance,
Will help to salvage my pride(That's right!)
But I know that without both of them,
There's no way I can surviv
PleasePlease don't make me,
Into something,
That you know I am not...
And please don't make,
Light of me,
And all the wars I've fought...

Please shut your mouth,
And try to,
Understand just who I am
Please listen to me,
And I'll try to,
Change your life if I can

Down this road...
Down this road so long!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Miles and miles I still go on!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
I'm not lost...
No, I am not alone!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Down this road I continue on...

Please learn the lessons,

Shock to the SystemI don't hold back my words,
Whether in anger or in appeal,
I always let you know,
Just what I think and feel
I delve deep into your emotions,
And into mine as well,
I bring our stories to life,
In a way only I can tell

My words are harsh and unrelenting,
Some are meant to disturb
I well and truly understand,
The power of my words
I force myself and you to look at things,
In a way never done before
It is a simple thing to me,
It is how I fight my war

My life, like my writing,
Has varied from point to point
I see many things clearly,
That others simply don't
I do not confine myself,
To a simple form or style
My style and
How You Do ItI thought I'd tell you,
That you blow my mind,
Get it out of the way,
Cause it saves time

And this...
Is how...
You do it...

The way you sigh,
The way you scream,
Every single time,
Sucks the air out of me

The way you laugh,
The way you cry,
The way you taste,
When you kiss me good-bye

And I...
Can't sleep
Because you...
Haunt my dreams

And this...
Is how...
You do it...

The way your fingers glide,
Through your hair,
I could watch for hours,
And not even care

The light in your eyes,
And your smile,
Make all the little moments,
So very worthwhile

And I...
Can't sleep
Because you...
Haunt my dreams

And this...
Without WordsThe words spill from me,
Sometimes it's like I am,
Bleeding...
My thoughts stain the page,
They never fade,
And there are moments,
When the words,
Get in the way...

Without words, there is no music,
Without music, I cannot sing...

Here I am,
I am just a man,
Who sings...
I am hope,
I am faith,
I have the strength to believe...
It's all there!(There!)(There!(There!)
There inside of me!
Waiting for the right moment,
The moment to set me free...

The words are my way of showing,
All of my hope,
All of my grief,
And I never use them,
To deceive...
I get lost, along the way sometimes...
It's like I'm running around in circ
The Ashes of YesterdayLightning rages,
Thunder crashes,
Look at how I am shaking,
As I sift through the ashes,
Of all my yesterdays...

In the ashes,
I see,
A haunting panorama,
A smoldering tapestry

It is one of lies!
And deceit!
A burning reminder!
Of who I used to be!

Thank God,
This is no longer me...

Lightning rages,
Thunder crashes,
Look at how I am shaking,
As I sift through the ashes,
Of all my yesterdays...

In the ashes,
I see,
All the things I've been,
And a list of all my sins

That list is long!
And the memories strong!
A reminder of all the places...
That I never belonged!

Thank God,
I am no longer alone...

Lightning rage
DarknessDarkness, it flows,
All across the land
The people, they cower,
Afraid of Death's hand

Darkness, from the world,
All the light it steals
The people, afraid,
Are rocked upon their heels

Darkness, despair,
That is the gift it brings
The people, wicked and meek,
They will all feel it's sting

Darkness, all consuming,
It devours all it sees
It sucks away even the air,
The world, it ceases to breathe

Heroes and FoolsGlory should be an accident,
Not something that so many seek,
Not something used to show your strength,
And used to show others how they are weak

Glory is for fools,
So unavoidably so,
Because only a fool would want,
To tread where heroes go

Heroes are oft remembered,
Sadly because they died,
So it seems that only a fool,
Would want to end their life

A true hero neither seeks glory,
Nor do they even want it,
They simply live their part in the story,
And the hand they're dealt, play with

A true hero just lives,
Breathes, loves, and sins,
Attempting to avoid life's system,
Of checks and balances

Heroes need to be alive,
To
Never Mind the ViolenceJust because,
You don't see it,
Doesn't mean,
I don't feel it
Everyday!
Just because,
I'm not talking,
Doesn't mean,
You shouldn't be asking
Asking me!

So never mind the violence,
Never mind...about me
You aren't here to listen,
And I am fed up with denying
Never mind the broken dreams,
Never mind...all of the screams,
That you weren't hearing
I just can't live like this,
So never mind the violence

My eyes,
Would tell a story,
If you ever,
Bothered to look inside
You'd see how I cry!
My mind,
Is so twisted
I can't,
Remember when I felt,
Anything but this!

So never mind the violence,
Never mind...about me
You a
The Beat Goes OnI watch the world...
From the corner of my eye
I see the fear...
And I see all the tears cried

I see...
The faces...

I see the smiles,
And all the joy within
I see the memories...
Of the places I've been

I hear...
The heartbeat of this world!
And of everyone I love!
I hear...!
The faith of the people,
As they rise above!
As long as we feel...
Hope is never gone

And the beat goes on...
And the beat goes on

I don't understand...
How so many live in hate,
Why so many take joy,
In causing others to break

I feel...
The pain...

I see the fire!(The fire!)
The passion of our souls!
As we are holding on to this life!

Dead Like MeLook into my eyes,
And I'll show how it feels,
To live each every day,
Never knowing just what's real

It's been so long,
Since I've been alive,
I no longer remember,
The day I died!

Don't you want to be,
Dead like me?
Free from all the pain,
Existing eternally?
I know you want to be,
Dead like me,
I can see into your mind,
I can see your thoughts turning

Come on, take my hand,
And you will understand,
The difference between who I was,
And who I now am

A crimson kiss,
I will bestow,
One flash of my teeth,
And you will know!

Don't you want to be,
Dead like me?
Free from all the pain,
Existing eternally?
I know you w

Losing Myself in YouLosing Myself in You

I am losing myself,
In your eyes,
And I know it comes,
As no surprise,
Because you can see my face
And now I'm staring at your lips,
Holding on by my finger tips,
I can't help but wonder,
How they taste

This is the passion of a soul...
That is never going to let go!

I'm losing myself!
Losing myself in you
Losing myself!
(Myself!)
Cause it's all I want to do
You know it's true...!
And I know you feel it too!
You want me to lose myself in you...

I am losing myself,
In your skin,
So much there,
I don't know where,
Exactly to begin
And now I'm drawn back,
Into your eyes!
What I see there,
Is loud a
Rewind   Rewind

After this passage of time,
I found I couldn't change you,
Just like I couldn't change the tides...
I wish that,
I could,
Hit...rewind...
But since I can't do that,
I'll settle for getting you,
Out of my mind

You say it's not me,
But I don't agree

I wish that I could let it go!
Let it go and let it die,
Forever...
And I know it shows!
I know it shows when I cry,
Because life has become never...
I just wish I could hit rewind,
And go back to the time...
when you loved me...

Harsh words...
Some spoken aloud,
Some...left unsaid...
I wish that,
I could,
Leave you for dead!
But since I can't do that,

Prisoner  Prisoner

Can you imagine what it's like,
To live inside of a cage?
Every single day stretches,
And every one feels the same

Imagine realizing,
That something's wrong,
Imagine that you,
Have been trapped for too long,
Imagine that you know!
That it can't  go on!

Spending every day,
As one of the blind,
Locked away, held prisoner,
By your own mind!
Burning inside,
With suppressed rage,
Never understanding,
That you...
Were the only reason you stayed...

Do you understand,
Just what dreams mean?
Do you understand the force,
Of a mental scream?

Imagine realizing,
That it's not who you are!
Imagine u
Let Me Tell You a StoryLet me tell you a story. It's one heard before, but it now has differences, and those differences completely change what you know, or at least what you think you know.

Our story begins with a young man, not yet 29, not yet a year married, not yet a father.

In short, he has not yet truly begun to live. It's a shame, isn't it, that he has so much potential, so much to offer, and yet he refuses to step up and claim a place in the world?

He knows who he is, but not who he IS. They are quite different, you know. And it's often hard to tell the difference, many go through their lives without discovering who they really are.

You would recognize

Justice, Born of PainI am justice,
Born of pain,
From living a life,
Of secret shame
Living every day,
As I bleed!
Spending every night,
On my knees!

Praying...
For release...
And peace...

I am justice,
Born of pain,
Fighting each day,
In my own name,
So others like me,
Don't have to suffer the same,
Turning every loss,
Into a gain

Faith...
And hope...
Are my refrain...

I am justice,
Born of pain!
It's how I fight,
To keep myself sane!
I am justice,
Born of pain!
I got knocked down once,
It will never happen again!

Because I...
Believe...
In you and me...

I sound my call,
To one and all,
I'll be there,
To catch as you fall

EverBlaze: Break and Burn

:iconthat-krimzon-stain:

Break!
And burn!
Fall down on your knees,
And kiss the earth,
You worm!
You are nothing but a,
Worm to me!
And no I don't,
Feel guilty!
For all the destruction that you see...

I am!
Nearing the end...
In the shadows!
I am hiding again...
I am looking to end this my way,
It's time to finish this,
With what remains of the day

(Scream!
But you can never...
Be redeemed!)

You will!

Break!
And burn!
Fall down on your knees,
And kiss the earth,
You worm!
You are nothing but a,
Worm to me!
And no I don't,
Feel guilty!
For all the destruction that you see...

I have!
Only this one chance...
Because I!
Am losing my balance...
In the shadow of a cross,
I pray!
But God has turned away...

(Scream!
But you can never...
Be redeemed!)

Not even if you!

Break!
And burn!
Fall down on your knees,
And kiss the earth,
You worm!
You are nothing but a,
Worm to me!
And no I don't,
Feel guilty!
For all the destruction that you see...

(I stand in the shadows...
Of what was...
Everything that I've known,
Has turned to dust...)
I need to cast aside these chains...
All of you will break and burn!
I will purify you with my pain!

I'll make you!

Break!
And burn!
Fall down on your knees,
And kiss the earth,
You worm!
You are nothing but a worm to me!
And no I don't feel guilty!
For all the destruction that you see...

(There is a lesson to be learned...)
But not before you break and burn!

:iconthat-krimzon-stain:
Fire purifies, breaking things releases our anger, we simply feel better when we break and burn.

The series is called "EverBlaze".

*This is the final version, the original is in my scrapbook.

Shit, Jamie! This is awesome!
Love these particular verses the most though:
"I have!
Only this one chance...
Because I!
Am losing my balance...
In the shadow of a cross,
I pray!
But God has turned away..."

and

"(I stand in the shadows...
Of what was...

I need to cast aside these chains...
All of you will break and burn!
I will purify you with my pain!"
