Egg Of The Sun

If for no other reason
We make our voices heard
Because silence leads to suffering
At the cost of those unheard
Mine eyes have seen the tyranny
Of the hatred caused by bended knee
The leaders who need muzzled met down by the hanging tree.
So I'll turn my back and cry
To hide the tears as they start to fly
I know the reason why
They lose their voice
Watch the anger rise
So some will say goodbye
To the loved one once on our side
No longer turn a deaf ear or blind eye
To the ignorance inside
So I'll turn my back and cry to hide the tears as they start to fly
I know the reasons why they loose their voice
Watch the anger rise
It's Time to shine the light
In the cracks where they like to hide
Show them for what they are
Make them earn each of them scars
Oh it's time to tow the line
Has been for a while
Step up and shine
I have stood with my boots on the ground
As the gas did fly
Raising my voice to add to the fury of the day
Hold the line till just the right time
So raise your voice with me
So hold the line till just the right time so raise your voice with me
There is no debate for this ignorance
Because it must be smashed
I have stood with my boots on the ground as the gas did fly
So raise your voice with me on this night
There is no debate for this ignorance
For We are one.

The Grackle
04:38

What have we here?
Helpless in the dirt
Without any hope
Without a hand he would die
DIE!
So he took him in and dedicated himself to the Grackle
Gave him the warmth
Gave him the sustenance
He found the motivation to pick him up off of the ground where he would have been a tasty meal for some predator, for he was low-hanging fruit
Give him the hope.
Give him the life.
And so day by day
He became a Little bit stronger
And flu just a little bit farther
From his new dad
Who was his only hope to stretch his wings and make a go of it
For his freedom
For his true purpose
It's time to fly
Fly on away to live the life
Then one day he did just that
and a father's job was done
Gary became a friend, when taught the ways of the wing,
moved on down the road.

Engulfed In Absence

He taught me so much
Like how to tie my shoes
And drink from the garden hose
He wanted me to learn to do it for myself because one day he would not be around
From him I get my sense of style and that everything has a consequence
But most of all he taught me how to love
He taught me how to love without self
Well that day has come
Time to do it on my own
Put the lessons to task
I hope he was proud.
He always had my back
No matter how big
Through the disappointments of having me as a son
The way I believe when you take your bow
You become one with it all so that energy spreads out.
Becoming one with everything
that ever was or will be
So I'll no longer grieve
I'll use the quiet times
So no longer will I grieve
I'll use the quiet times to reflect
on the lessons and the love
Life seems to have a way of showing us what matters.
Sometimes it seems too late because you cannot hug a ghost.
Life seems to have a way of showing us what matters most.
Sometimes it seems a bit too late.
You cannot hug a ghost
Tell them what's inside now.
Tell them of the love and the memories.

When the Sun beats down and your pack swings low
Uncertain future
How far will you go?
When will you know?
How much weight will you pull?
Move ever faster.
Do more.
An abuse of power
Should have ignored all the lore
My hands are needles and pins
My vision slowly does spin
Pushed to critical mass
Resistance is futile for the towers always win.
You gain those connections with each door you darken.
Learn of their kin and the hounds that are barkin'.
Beyond that all joy is sparse.
Glorified depictions turn to farce.
So keep on pushing and trudging ever more quick
For that carrot is dangling from the tip of the stick
You got to keep on pushing on despite all warnings
You got to keep on pushing on despite all warnings
For that carrot swings
Beyond that resistance is futile
You gotta on pushing on
For that carrot dangles from that stick.

Brother Tried
05:13
|

Please don't go to town
I told my brother when he came around
Don't trust that website
Don't trust that post
Troubles at your heels when fear is your host
But he drove off to make a stand
Against his traitors and for his
man
Perceptions of theft fueled by hate and misinformation like children in crates.
In Legion with those in power
Who watched silent from the tower
As the masses they poured in
For blood and sway
Confused and rabid
Consumed by the lies that they say
Cries of freedom as they take his away.
He did his research
Connected the dots
That didn't exist
Of theories and whatnots
News for entertainment
A foundation for chaos
A funnel for profits
I'm his salvation
That's why I'm here
Forged in hate
Children of chaos
They rule the waves
Cries of freedom as they take his away
Yearning for total power
News for entertainment
A foundation for chaos
A for the prophets
Brother Tried
Brother Tried
Brother Tried
Forged in hate
Children of the chaos
They rule the waves
Pure fabrication
Sometimes you got to cut loose dead flesh.
Even if it was once blood
Oh Yeah
Of theories and what ifs
That continue to persist
Brother tried to save your mind but in the end it was all for not.

Drink In The Light
07:07
|

Is this gonna take me?
Should I dig in deep
or just keep on acting, pretending like I'm asleep.
For one day the bell tolls to return to the source.
Moments stolen by worry
Might have to change your course
Fear fills in the times when
the mind is allowed to roam.
Grinding down the enamel from the ache inside the bone.
I choose to ignore it and I will go away.
Many have before me from the same delay.
I can tell it's rising
Pressure behind my eyes
Veins bulge and show me the machine does not lie.
Will the vessel burst this time?
Will the muscle seize in brine?
Will the filter shut down now as the numbers climb?
Silently it settles in.
Taking hold from within.
Might not know til it's too late,
that your score has sealed your fate.
So take the chemical.
Let it find your soul.
Tell it so stay put.
Breathe in
Breathe out
That's the goal
You gotta shine
Find your tomorrow
Drink in the light
I choose to ignore it and I will go away.
Many have before me from the same delay.
I can tell it's rising.
Pressure behind my eyes.
Veins bulge and show me the machine does not lie.
Will the vessel burst this time?
Will the muscle seize in brine?
Will the filter shut down now as the number climb?
Silently it settles in
Taking hold from within
Might not know til it's too late
that your score has sealed your fate.
You gotta shine
Find your tomorrow
Drink in the light.
Drink in the light.
