Unpaid Debt

Brick and stone

Ashes and dust

A thousand days left alone

Watching steel turn to rust

Shedding blood and tears

Aching with regret

Condemned for a hundred years

'Til I pay off my debt

Pray for my soul

As it's tested in fire

Burning like coal

With the debt of a liar

End of Our Days

The Earth is cold

Though it's blazed with fire

The world of old

Is on its funeral pire

Death and destruction

Rot and decay

Pain and obstruction

Mark the end of our days

Hold tight to faith

For only it will save

Drowning out the wraith

Of your days as a slave

Into the Dirt

Crying out

But no one hears me

Calling out

But no one cares about me

I'm fading away

Into the background

I can not stay

I can't hold my ground

Everyone just wants to bury me

Deep down in the dirt

But no one wants to see

Just how much I hurt

They mock and jeer

They beat and bruise

I shed these tears

And I've got nothing to lose

Finish me off

End my pain

Cut me off

Call me insane

Just end the hurt

Throw me away

Push me into the dirt

And there I will stay

Black Bird, by Landon Nethercott

Black bird black bird

Sitting in a tree

Black bird black bird

Looking down at me

Black bird black bird

Today you look so quaint

Black bird black bird

Have I come too late?

Black bird black bird

Sing your pretty song

Black bird black bird

Let me sing along

Black bird black bird

Whistle out your tune

Black bird black bird

Whistle to the moon

Black bird black bird

Up in the midnight sky

Black bird black bird

Tonight is when I die

Black bird black bird

The last thing I shall see

Black bird black bird

Blackened I will be

Black bird black bird

Feathers dark as ash

Black bird black bird

My life ends in a flash

Ash bird ash bird

Sing your sorrow song

Ash bird ash bird

I will sing along

Sing your sorrow song

Sing it out for me

And I will sing along

For ashes I shall be

Tell me, ash bird ash bird

How marvelous it will be

Pretty ash bird ash bird

When I am finally free

Lonely

Lonely beyond belief

No one cares to listen

Impossible to find relief

By my demons I've been bitten

They say I want attention

They just don't understand

That in eternal detention

My heart is left to stand

They say it's all an act

That I'm putting on a show

Why must they brutally attack?

Why not cast the final blow?

Just pierce my wounded heart

Stab it one last time

Rip my soul apart

And complete your heinous crime

One by One

Hell has found me late this night

And I can't seem to see

How everything will be alright

When no one hears my plea

He asks if I'm ok

I sigh and shake my head

He nods and looks away

I sit and stare ahead

One member left our side

For a different destiny

She gave in to her pride

And let go of family

One other lives away

Refuses to even speak

To those who all dismay

At his absence this past week

Another is now in pain

Lying in a hospital bed

What left is there to gain

When he wishes to be dead?

One by one they're falling

And there's nothing I can do

Instead I sit here calling

Praying I won't fall too

Dominus Vobiscum,

Ginger Monk

Judgement

They're all abandoning me

Casting me aside

This is how it has to be

No longer are we allied

They say that I am wrong

That I'm sadly mistaken

While by the siren song

Of the world they have been taken

They say they've had enough

They're fine right where they are

Won't call the Devil's bluff

That their souls can not be scarred

One day we'll all face judgement

He'll judge us all the same

But in that dreadful moment

He'll suffer me no blame
