I can't tell where I'm going
Don't know where I've been
But I feel I'm moving quickly
And I guess that's all there is
I've gone round in my head
Side to side within
Reason had too much sense
Foolishness left me behind
Walking to a dirt-road crossroad
Guess I'll say hello
Whiskey from the heavens
Daniels in my veins
Traveling to hell on that southern gothic train
Baptized my humanity in the river
Left my soul with the morning star
Guess I've lost it all
They say that those with nothing left
Have nothing left to lose
Well hell, I'm far past that
With no future, and no past
Don't mess with me, son
Or my face will be your last
Whiskey's long gone now
But the moon's still shining bright
And there's heaven to gain
But hell to pay
The brass is still warm
But I'm cold as the grave
Without Christ
we are dead for
we are only half a man
Without Christ
we live in our own
immorality not thinking
much of it
Without Christ we are
asleep and continue to sin
and be slaves to demons
Without Christ, ultimately,
we shall burn forever and ever
in our own suffering
Without Christ we are lost sheep
led to the slaughterhouse
Only You can pick up the pieces
Of my shattered past
And make something beautiful from it
Gathering the shards and placing them
Into an amazing and wondrous design
Like a stained glass window
Each piece meticulously positioned
Into a picture only the designer could see
When I give to You my best
I try so hard to make You proud
My feeble attempts
Like a bruised and broken flower
You hold it gently, press and mount it
Hanging it high for all to see
One day I pray that I can look back
And see my whole life laid before me
All the hurt and pain I experienced
Interwoven with the joy and happiness
A blanket that I can wrap my heart up with
And the knowledge that my life wasn't in vain
That I could see every stitch You made
How You carried me all the way
And brought me home to stay
I once said "love does not exist"
I was wrong and doubtful of what
we are,
We can love, because we are love,
out of love we were created by him
who loves us the most
Each one of us struggles every day,
it is hard not to be hateful of everything,
to single out particular things for our problems,
But we can choose to think differently,
we can choose to believe in meaning,
to treat others like actual human beings
Without love there is no meaning,
because love is meaning,
hate is the destruction of that meaning
Without him, we are just empty shells,
just nihillists, going through the motions
with no real understanding for why we
should even be alive.
Look around you, do you not feel the hate?
do you not feel the suffering? These impressions
on our consciousness, can we not change this?
Why should we give in so easily? why not resist
this evil and show strength?
Without him, there is no evil, there is no good,
no spiritual bases for why things happen the
way they happen, it all seems so absurd.
It is easy to give in to egoism, moral relativism, etc
because you feel like nothing matters anyways,
so why not just live life as you choose?
"Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law"
When you take your head out of the sand
and stop ignoring the negative force, you can actually see how it has
taken control of your very life, how the devil has gained a strong foot hold
All because of doubt, and the lack of will do what is necessary,
so much easier it is to give in to the parasitic influence of the world,
He becomes your god,
you just don't realize it until its too late.
All that doubt sucks at your being like a leech,
you feel dead inside,
you feel hopeless, in the darkest hole of dispair,
all because you think it doesn't matter
The evil is there, so acknowledge it and exorcise it from yourself,
pray to christ to expel the parasite from your system,
cleanse the negative energy,
fill your heart with love and always keep on your guard for hate
Or otherwise continue to be a slave to him who controls the world,
only the son of man can help you transcend this material mockery;
he is your key and your door, surrender yourself and stop trying to find
another way, because there is no other way but through him.
He is "the way though truth and the light"
We will not be silenced,
we are the spirit,
the collective unconscious,
Despite all material attempts
to disconnect us from ourselves
we have found the source,
Through the door and the key,
we shall dictate reality,
the wisdom of him who is timeless
One heart, one soul,
together as one,
in the body and the spirit
May you sleep in peace tonight
And have happy dreams without fright
When you wake to the suns new rays
And the stars sleep as you start your day
Know that you're blessed and I hope you see
I'm thinking of you, so think of me
In troubled times you may not always see
But I am he one who calmed the raging sea
I'm always there with you hand in hand
To carry you through the sinking sand
So cast your fears to the Lord above
So that you may know that I am Love
Peace
The feeling of rest
After a hard day's work
The weightlessness of relaxation
Finally
Serenity
No reason to fear
No longer any worries
My mind is happily blank
White like new-fallen snow
While I sit by the fireplace
On a Christmas morning
Calm
For my spirit is calm
My soul no longer pains me
I'll soon fall asleep
To waking dreams
And an eternity
Of sunrises
For at the bottom of my heart;
The dregs of my emotions lie
I'd given all to you
And you drank without satisfaction
I filled your glass over and over again
Yet you could not be content
I had nothing left to give
And then, like so many before
I was thrown aside
Cast out like a leper
But the thing about barrels
Is that they can be refilled
And someone wanted me to be filled
They poured their heart and soul into me
They completed me until I overflowed
They granted me a purpose, and a meaning
So now as I look upon you
Inebriated in your unfulfilled grief
Wasted in your past iniquity
I pity you
For we cannot be connoisseurs only
But we must be barrels as well
For we cannot drink alone
But must be drunken from again
Men of Iron, Men of Smoke
Red hands hidden in their cloak
Helter Skelter in their hearts
Silence people, so they start
End beginnings, death of life
Pleasured pain, calming strife
All their “truth,” is but lies
Hide the demons in their eyes
Propaganda lead the people
Separate the laws and steeple
All who speak against them die
Total darkness soon is nigh
All of those who live are dead
In a white world made of red
