THE DARKEST NIGHT
Silence in the streets
Silence in the house
Silent when I greet
Silence when I'm out
The sun may shine
It's dark for me
Sadness in my mind
Is all I see
People laugh
I just sigh
And then at last
I start to cry
I can't smile
I really tried
It's been a while
Brain is fried.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
I already know, I do nothing at all
Why did I, why did I answer your call?
To hear that I do everything wrong?
Now I know why I haven't been here for so long
And then you wonder why I don't bother to talk
I don't need to hear this, I'm taking a walk
At least outside, I can finally think
Instead of always being pushed to the brink
This is why I need to spend a lifetime alone
My self hate rises whenever I come "home"
You treated my brother the same way and cried when he was gone
You'll do the same thing too and it won't be too long
You treat me like trash while I'm good and alive
Then you'll have nothing but regrets when I finally die
You wonder why the rest want to stay far away from you
It's how you treat us all, and you know what you do
Don't guilt trip me into making me sad for the way I feel
Don't expect me to laugh and like during the big meal
Don't talk to me, don't bother me, don't even say a word
I just want to be at peace and not be distributed
Family is so overrated in so many ways
To hell with this and being home for the holidays.

FROZEN SUNRISE
As he looks up through the wind blown snow
It blinds him and stings as he makes his way
He's driven by the love for someone who doesn't know
That she is the one that makes him wake up each day
He's a fool, he knows no one could like someone like him
A broken human who only gets comfort from steel
But when he sees her it awakens something within
And makes his cold heart a warmth that he feels
He's almost happy when she is in his presence
An emotion he has never even felt before
The light of the universe must be in her essence
As the sun rises, like a giant red dragon's eye
It doesn't bring warmth but the forest seems to glow
He's embraced by the cold as the forest sighs
The ancient forests that still live with the magic of old
The wind resists him but he will not give up
He must make it through to see her once again
His bones shudder with each strong gust
But he will be at the small village by day's end
The numbness and the pain will be all be worth it all
To hear once again hear her sweet voice and laugh
His heart skips a beat every time he hears his name called
She makes him forget the vow he said in the past
To never again open his world and to be alone forever
To never again feel the pain and sting of rejection
To think that true love is a hopeless endeavor
Slowly that wall of steel is peeled away and he drops his protection
He hope that this is for real this time
As he walks in the frozen sunrise
Hopefully she's not playing with his mind
As he takes his way through the frozen sunrise

FADE AWAY TO NOTHING
She's a beautiful dream and now she's gone
I awaken to my shattered and broken reality
I don't know if I even want to go on
In this place where being me is an abnormality
I get up, with sweet memories of her in my mind
Wishing that what I dream could become real
Maybe it could, in another place and time
But not here and now that's why I can't feel
She'll never see me as anything more but a friend
The bitter truth hurts and makes me cold
I wish this emptiness would sometime end
Make the pain go away, fade away to nothing
This is something I'm sure I can't bear
Make the pain go away, I want to feel something
As always, life can be so unfair.

100 DEATHS
Here I am my love, to come rescue you
Nothing in this world would ever stop me
An entire army is what I had to cut through
Even though we will never or could ever be
A warrior will never be able to marry a Queen
It will never happen, this I now now
But I never wanted to give up on the dream
I thought it could be, someway, somehow
I have opened the gate so please escape
I'll stay here and fight until there's nothing left
You have a kingdom to rule, rise to your fate
I'll be thinking of you until my last breath
I just want you to know that you are my world
You gave me something to always live for
I loved you when I was a boy and you a little girl
Before the beginning of this ugly war
I would die 100 deaths so you could live
You always knew that you had my heart
Because if you, I know what true love is
I'll be at peace even when they rip me apart
I hear guards coming, please you must go
I must stay down here and defend you with my life
But you know how much I love you so
I'll fight a nation alone and you wouldn't have to ask twice
If I leave this world your beauty is what I'll miss
I think to myself as you run off into the night
My last memory will be of you giving me a kiss
As the dungeon was illuminated with the moon's light
Here they come now, angry and armed to the teeth
With my sword in hand I let loose a war cry
I run towards them, showing that I refuse to be weak
I will love you my Queen, until the day I die

LET'S KILL EACH OTHER (OVER NOTHING)
You're a stupid Liberal?! I'm going to take your life!
I hate Conservatives, someone's going to die tonight!
You're a Democrat?! I better go get my gun!
I hate all Republicans so you better get ready to run
I see you're far left, I think you're going insane!
Well you're far right, somethings wrong with your brain!
It's your fault were in this mess, you're all so worthless!
Well people like you should be wiped from the surface!
You're going to die Liberal, say goodbye to your wife and kids!
No, you're going to die conservative, it's me that's going to live!
Gunshots rang out in the middle of the street
The cold air turned warm just because of the heat
Now it's all silent with both bodies on the ground
Neither one is moving, no one emits a sound
Two lives gone, fighting for the glory of their sides
But now they'll just only be a major headline
Fighting for nothing, for a system that doesn't care
About anyone but themselves, it doesn't seem fair
But who cares about that let's just get out and kill
Those who disagree with us because the government has your will
You say you're not a puppet but they're pulling you along
You don't even realize it but you're. falling for the same old song.

FOREVER ALONE
I wish it wasn't this way
But I know this is true
Alone for the rest of days
As my life goes through
Others will find love
Others will find joy
I'll find none of the above
Just a lonely Jersey boy
The dark clouds follow me
Wherever I go
I don't want it to be
But this is all I know.

SLAVING FOR THE PURPLE BEAST
Load a package, load another package
Keep on loading, we need to reach the average!
It's all about stats and not about your health
If you get sick or hurt, you're all by yourself!
We say we care but in reality we don't
We'll suspend and fire you even though we say we won't
You were a loyal worker? So what, who cares?
You were here and worked hard, never missed a day
But so what, well still just throw you away
And leave you alone, just to see you starve
And laugh with glee as your life gets hard
I am the purple beast and you were only a slave
I could care less about the hard work you gave
No second chances, you mess up you're gone
I'll stomp all over you while I still move on
To find another victim and use them up too
I'm the beast you're a slave and this is what I do.

THE CALLING OF THE STORMRIDERS
He sits all alone, eating his food
The clouds start to roll and the skies blacken
Hail begins to fall, things aren't looking good
The very ground shakes, he runs in fear
He hides in a closet from all the commotion
The skies open, the stormrider is near
The walls shake from the words that are spoken
"I know who you are, now your time has come
To get up and ride the cosmic winds
You were born a Stormrider and we are all one
It's time for your purpose to now begin!"
His hands started to gllwand he knows it to be true
A legacy he has tried many times to deny
The seven stars rose, he knows what he must do
He must heed the calling and take off into the sky
His home is not earth but the planet of Soreen
Nestled deep in the Andromeda galaxy
It feels unreal but he knows it's not a dream
He knows that it's meant to be
The calling of the Stormriders ring throughout the universe
The chosen ones are hearing the call
It has always been with them ever since birth
Now it's time for the gathering for Stormriders, one and all....

BEAUTIFUL TO ME
You say you're too fat
You say you're ugly
You say you're too short
I don't think that at all
I think you're beautiful to me
One eye's too big
One hand's too small
You think you're the ugliest one of all
I don't think that at all
I think you're beautiful to me
Don't put yourself down
Don't call yourself names
I won't put you down at all
I think you're beautiful to me
You're an angel to me
Worthy of praise
You should see what I see
Because I think you're beautiful to me

TEN KINGDOMS IN THE AGE OF STEEL
Faya, home of the proud, strong Heathens
They stick to the old ways, season after season
Kurion, the land of the magic forests of the North
Where they still sing of the heroes that came forth
Evanskanskia, the oldest kingdom of all
That still remains long after the great fall
Reedenbridge, the home of a queen bent on revenge
For the death of her father, her rage has no end
Illsidrin, the kingdom with the ancient golden towers
The holy knights of the Red Sun still fight with grace and power
Montolothia, the place where darkness dwells
The evil wizard up high conjures deadly dark spells
Tamarosa, kingdom of the keepers of the stone
A place where wizards and sorceresses love to call home
Elrithria, the land where the dragons are raised
And the Queen of Fire sits, her eyes always a blaze
Dovoria, home where the Tiger banner flies high
And all serve the Tiger King until the day they die
Aritherion, home of the beautiful forest queen
Kings kneel to her and become the woman of their dreams
These are the Ten Kingdoms in the age of steel
The legends of old have now become real.

FOLLOW MY HEART?
Follow my heart even though she hurt you
Forget all the stuff she put you through
My sensible mind says no
But my heart says yes
Follow my heart even though she made you stressed
Left you down, alone and depressed
My sensible mind says no
But my heart says yes
Follow my heart and respond to her call
Even though you know it will lead to a fall
My sensible mind says no
But my heart says yes
Follow my heart but ignore reason's voice
I'm just a fool who's made the wrong choice
My sensible mind says don't do it again
But my foolish heart is leading me into the lion's den
Now I'm in a place deadlier than a thousand swords
All because I listened to her soothing words
My sensible mind says remember what happened before
But my foolish heart says I want to be in pain some more
I know the outcome, but I just can't stop
She's hurt me before, I already know the plot
My sensible mind screaming and telling me no
But my foolish heart doesn't want to do so
Follow my heart, what am I thinking?
It seems so sweet but it's poison I'm drinking
Killing me slowly and eating me alive
Following my heart will leave me empty inside.
