A Story Once Told

My day of reckoning
Will never come
As most of my days
Have come and gone
Take my hand and you will see
That there is more to life
All that shines in the light
Does not take from your sight
Reach out and take in
What brings you to the skies
Open your eyes and realize
What helps you soar in your eyes
Reach out and take in
What brings you to the skies
The lies the masses buy into condemn
I'm done with every single shred of them
And I will not stand idly by
With your hopes and dreams on the line
Reach out and take in
What brings you to the skies
Open your eyes and realize
What helps you soar in your eyes
Reach out and take in
What brings you to the skies
Stay away from what keeps you burdened
Lead astray from the pack I was born in
I will not let the same thing happen
To you because you are special

Elements

Start your life
There's only time to right
What keeps tight
The ties that you gave light
Step in line
Steal all the needed time
Be sure your prime
Objective is to make use of this climb
Make sure that everything you love
And every single thing you've ever owned
Stays very close to your heart
So you'll stay close to home
Solutions at your side
Salvation in your eyes
These elements
Have existed for much more than years
These men
Who have fought for every single tear
Bring forth honor to the land of freedom
Justice will serve itself in it's own right
Wrongs will shift into righted entities
As long as you follow the laws of life
You're alive
Be grateful, revive
Remember strife
For those who have died
Close your hands
Restrict your useless wrath
Make your stand
So you can make your own path
You don't need me to tell you who to be
Or what to do
Or what to see
You don't need me
You don't need me to tell you who to be
Or what to do
Or what to see
You don't need me
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This will be our home
We've done it on our own

Arrogance

You arrogant piece of shit
We're done and won't have any of it
We're getting tired of all that you are
And personally I knew you wouldn't fly far
This is where I draw the line
There's no setbacks this time
Try and take my spot again
And you won't make it out alive
Shut your mouth
Because all it does is lie
Every single fucking person that knows
Can not help but despise
Your ego, ego-maniacal coward view
Of the world
You better run while you can
You've dropped the success that was in your hand
We are a family
You should have thought about that when you plunged that knife in our back
Now it's too late
It's a good thing that you're gone
You had it all wrong
Without you and your arrogance,
We will carry on
Stay away from what we hold
You're the one who'd leave us in the cold
You're no man of your words
As your words have lost you what you could have sold
You are dishonored, dishonest at heart
Full of yourself and only you from the start
Take a hard look at yourself and tell me
What lies there is a destroyed being
I don't see life in your eyes, they're closed shut
Maybe they'll open up if you change
It's a good thing that you're gone
You had it all wrong
Without you and your arrogance,
We will carry on
'Cos now that we are strong
Without the negatives,
We will carry on
We are equal beings existing in the same equal life
Act like you have some respect for those who know of strife

Man of My Words
03:39

I know I made a promise
I know I've read my own rights
I know I scarred my image
And I know I've ruined up my life
But now that things are changing
I'll take what I can get
So here's the song that you asked for
I was born fatherless
No man to walk beside
With my whole life ahead
I never got the chance to decide
Male form deceived at birth
You held me in your hands
You call yourself a father figure
You're only known as dad
And it seems you're holding me back
Why can't I press on?
What's taking so long?
But I see you're fading to black
And I'll remember
I won't surrender
From where I'm standing
The grass is greener
Considering that
You're gone without a trace
I've known this all my life
But now I'm stepping forth
To lay to rest the very thing
That's bound me to this fucking scorn
(Why...)
(Why wouldn't you...)
(Why wouldn't you...)
Listen
Now I'm over it
Bblleegghh
Its taken years for me
To be able to stand here
And now that I possess
The strength to walk forward
I'll march ahead with honor
Proud of my own triumphs
And keep my head held high
Until the the day I soar
And it seems you're holding me back
Why can't I press on?
What's taking so long?
But I see you're fading to black
And I'll remember
I won't surrender
I am a man
You lying bitch

Take a break to look and see
How much it costs just to release
I'm holding onto what you are
Because I want to see you free
Lord, give me the strength to reach
For the solution to the cause I seek
Stay here and take my hand
And I'll lead you today
This life is yours and
I don't wanna see it wasted away
Set in stone, that all alone
It may be hard to overcome
The very trend, that seems to end
The lives of those who cannot run
Please, put the knife and gun back,
Bullet casings don't need to
Decorate the home you live in
Way too many times have I had a friend die
Because they felt that in life, they could not win
Step down and crawl away from the light
You're the reason why your friends cherish life
Take this pen and scratch your name off the list
God, please, you're worth more than this
(God please, you're worth more than this)
(God please, God please!)
Stay here and take my hand
And I'll lead you today
This life is yours and
I don't wanna see it wasted away
The pills, the blades, and the cannons in your hands
Are not worth the pain your peers withstand
If you break yourself off from the truth
'Cos no matter what, there's hope for you!
