HEIGELFRY

HEIGELFRY
A homeless man who wasn't himself anymore
His mind was lost in the Vietnam War
He left with his sanity and came home without it
And sadly, nobody even gave a shit
His country abandoned him in his time of need
He sacrificed his life so people could be free
And now they just threw him away like he was trash
A lonely man who has now forgotten his past
He spends his days on a bench, listening to Anthrax
And tells all who listen that they really kick ass
The 4th of July is a nightmare of loud sounds
It brings him back to the explosions heard all around
Friends being blown apart and watching them die
He can do nothing else but to sit there and cry
People pass him by but he's always ignored
A hero lost, Heigelfry's was lost in a war.

HERE I BELONG

HERE I BELONG

They tell me to go away
But I can't I must stay
I have nowhere else to go
This is the way that I know
I can't go back to my own kind
I'm in a different frame of mind
I can't deny what's in my heart
From this way I'll never part
I love to hear the winter's song
And drink fine mead all night long
I love the feel of a cold broadsword
I have made a vow and said the words
There's no turning back, I am what I am
I'm one of you know, a proud Heathen man.

IT CAN'T BE STOPPED

IT CAN'T BE STOPPED

I try to smile but it just won't happen
Why do I feel so empty inside?
It feels like I no longer want to take action
Of things that make me smile wide
Looking outside at the glorious sun
Not wanting to go out, isolsting myself
I see the rest of the world outside having fun
I'm wishing so much that I was someone else
Sleep ends the sadness for a little while
But when I awake it's back there again
Growing inside me like weeds growing wild
I hate it but it's always around like a good friend
I'm trapped in a well that I'll never escape
At least to me that's what it seems
Alone in this sadness seems to be my fate
And I wish it were just a bad dream

STEEL BORN

STEEL BORN

He rides the waves of the sea on his mighty ship
His soul burns, meaning that he will never quit
He shall get the redemption he desperately needs
For his wife and the children he feeds
For his family he cannot die a coward
He must ride the sea in his desperate hour
He remembers his sweet wife, the only one for him
She's a Goddess who lights his world when things seem dim
For her he would sail to the edge of the darkest shores
Her smile lights up a room and so much more
His reason for living, for her he would do it all
And come running anytime she would call
He remembers leaving the island, beaten and ashamed
He must restore dignity to his family name
He is steel born, Gorridon Valley's son and pride
The stars themselves are at his very side
And he would need them to come back whole
To sail into Montolothia and still keep his soul
He thinks of his sweet wife as he enters the harbor
He will fight for his family line and for her honor
Vengeance itself is here, the wizard should be warned
Here comes the one who is steel born

I WISH

I WISH
I wish I could have stopped you
From going past the point of no return
But there was nothing I could do
And now my soul feels burned
I felt cold when I heard the news
I wish I was there to talk you out of it
Going a path I wish you didn't choose
I didn't know you but in a way I did
I can't believe I won't see your posts again
I wish you could have chose to live
Rest in piece my online friend.

WHY?

WHY?

Things are going fine
And then comes madness
It happens one more time
And now I'm filled with sadness
I was stupid to believe
Someone would actually care
I was a fool, I was being deceived
You were never there
Another rejection, this is my life
A lonely soul who will always be alone
This is what I get for being so nice
Finishing last with no one as I go home
Why should I believe in love?
Does it even exist?
I ask this to the stars above
Can anyone answer me this?
I have no answers as I stare into the sky
This is why I don't let people in
The word that echoes in my head is why?
I guess it's because I know I'll never win.

JUST FOR A WHILE

JUST FOR A WHILE

Just for a while the pain will dissappear
When I'm fast asleep and far away from here
Away from the madness of humanity
Just for awhile I'll have my sanity
The sirens and the fighting will be far away
This is the place I want to stay
But I must go back to another sad reality
But while I'm here I know I will be free
The stress will be gone and I can laugh like a child
Even if it's only for just a little while

WINTER'S DANCE

WINTER'S DANCE

As I walk she sings with me
Arrayed with a gown of glory
Her cold arms embrace me
Telling me winter's story
Her breath freezes me to the bone
But I love it so
In her arms I know I'm home
Please never let me go
I dance with you in the silent night
To music that no one hears
I walk with you in the morning light
Knowing that you will be near
She'll be gone soon, this I know
You never seem to stay around long
When you're here you do put on a show
And dazzle the people with a beautiful song
What else can I do but dance with you for a while
Let's dance slow and make the time last
And as we do I'll be thinking of you and smile
Soon you'll become a thing of the past
You'll be leaving until we meet again next year
The time will pass slow because I'll be missing you
But I will wait for you and won't shed a tear
I'll patiently wait until you come back through.
