Code of Honor

In my thoughts I see all the faces
of those who tried to shake my resolve.
I strike down feelings of complacence,
can't let myself grow too dull.
I Breathe the smoke of a dozen fires
burning on each side of me.
I find myself lost in the wild,
outnumbered by the enemy.
I hone my will into a weapon
to grip tight and run through them.
In this land of malice and deception
I bind myself to what I know is true.
Code of honor, live and die by the sword.
This moral obligation can not be ignored
Code of honor, I will rise until I fall.
Strength in substance: carve these words into my skull.
I will not succumb to inaction though I am under siege. This place is cold and without reason but my past failures burn within me.
Code of honor, live and die by the sword.
This moral obligation can not be ignored
Code of honor, I will rise until I fall.
There will be justice: carve these words into my skull.
I know in my heart I’m prepared to die.
Made my peace, made up my mind.
To always struggle for what is right
and make my stand behind enemy lines.
Code of honor.

Unrest

I gash myself open on this thin sharp line
that divides you and I.
In the dark of hate you reach out blind.
Those who can’t adapt will not survive
Words fall short in spite of what's been done.
A reign of terror on every front.
No coming back from things you've said.
You make it so hard to keep my fucking head.
And now I lash out again,
tear apart the world you live in.
Another victim to the end.
Another sheep dressed up in wolf's skin.
It's so hard to stay my hand,
but you force it again and again.
The only thing you understand
seems to be violent resolution.
So disheartened by the heartlessness.
We get so hardened to the ignorance.
The curse of the past always lingers
in your barred teeth and clenched fists.
All of these things that weigh on our minds:
growing tension and endless strife.
How can we hope to move forward.
Zero days without incident.
The time comes now for punishment.
A last gasp from a dying cause.
Can't forgive the line you've crossed.
And now I lash out again,
tear apart the world you live in.
Another victim to the end.
Another sheep dressed up in wolf's skin.
How can we reconcile this divide?
The hate you spread cannot survive.
I can't keep down the rage inside.
I tear off your mask and drag you into the light.
Into the light.

Burning

Burning inside.
The flame that I can't deny.
This infamy will not subside.
And it’s burning. I'm burning.
It burns me.
Struggling to be.
I can’t seem to break free.
Not one moment of peace.
Serenity eludes me.
I can't let this go.
I can’t catch my breath.
Weighed down from the inside,
finding solace might mean my death.
Forever I burn inside
from these vices in my life.
Only I can see
thats it's burning. I'm burning.
It burns me.
In my shame, I am buried deep.
This inner guilt, controls me.
How can I live my life feeling like I've done no right.
So tie me at the stake and let me fucking be.
Burning from my sins.
This fire is my guilt within.
Burning alive from the flame that lives inside.
No longer can I hide
that I'm burning. Forever burning.
It burns me.
How can I fix what has already been fucking done?
So watch me die and watch me burn alive.
I can never undo what has already been done.
I can never hide the true feeling that lives inside.
Fire.
This heart forever burns.
Into the flames I cast myself away.
On the inside I burn alive.
I can never undo,
I will never hide
this internal fire
burning inside.

Half Measures

Your mouth is open but your eyes are shut tight.
Every word is self satisfied.
Tell me again about your open mind.
You preach peace but you're dripping spite.
You’ll talk forever but there's nothing behind it.
Check your head cause there's nothing inside it.
You throw bricks and hide your hands.
You'll get your way anyway you can.
I watch the frailty of your beliefs
collapse under social pressure.
I question your priorities.
Your empty words are half measures.
Everything you do
is a matter of reputation:
social self-preservation.
I see right through,
through all your approval seeking.
The rhetoric that you keep repeating
Go back on every claim you've made.
Avert your eyes and shift your gaze.
I'm suspicious of your false convictions.
No sense of self, can't make your own decisions.
What you say and do will never align
you'll always crawl to the winning side.
Search for flaws and criticize,
put up your walls and hide.
Bar the windows.
Curse the world outside.
But nothing changes when you close your eyes.

Dull Blade

All the power you feel
will slip right through your hands.
You play the part so well
But you will never understand.
Wage war on everyone,
who doesn't fall in line.
Nothing but empty heads
behind your closed minds.
Your dull blade
can only strike so deep.
You hear the words
but don't know what they mean.
The cracks start to show
through your false sense of strength.
How long can you hide
behind your mask of hate.
When you leave this earth
you won't be fucking missed.
A life you've wasted,
a life you pissed away.
You're a fucking snake.
You're the venom in these veins.
Drain the poison.
What will remain?
A false sense of right and wrong.
Blinded by self-righteousness.
Unwilling to stand alone.
Unable to think on your own
We hold on to the same words.
But you'll never know what they mean
