Like a sickness it begins as... A wildfire spreading through the veins An all consuming ache so bittersweet A thirst unquenched deep within Ever present, whether waking or dreaming Surrendering to it is... To obtain freedom for a time To let the mask of control slip To become naught but instincts As ecstasy peaks, all falls away A sanctuary it becomes... As a moment of thoughtless bliss As a shelter from rejection As a filler for the hollowness inside Yet it is damnation and not salvation?

As I finally take flight So do the worries flee my sight Like a flock of so many crows Taking wing from Winter's driven snow All that's left is the carrion of freedom And yet it's enough for the smile seldom seen At last the Angel takes wing While the Bean Sidhe sings As loving Mother spreads her arms The Darkness begins Its swarm And All stand in my Judgement So they will see how I fell in that weakest of moments

A man says...Some gave all His three words send out a call He need say no more His tears are for those on a distant shore Yet we do not recall All the brave who fight and especially those who fall He need say no more We should know who his tears are for So America please recall When you speak of freedom remember the names on that wall He need say no more Now at least one will remember who his tears are for

For all you who sit back gathering money with haste There is a man dying for the rights you waste Yet all you show us is Apathy Where are the patriots at home that showed us empathy This country become so complacent She doesn't care when her sons die where they are sent While the many who protest and attack our cause Sit at home and so few protect us...Do their thoughts even pause To see if they have forgotten why we have a cause Do they even remember the day the towers fell The apathy is so great that their tears have ceased to well To all those who stand behind...Our backbone is that much stronger To the rest of you...You are Ap

Thy blood running down my hands I've lost count of how many lie in the sands Thee who destroyed everything I love I shall show you the hatred into which I dove Naught but Fury and Destruction remain It shall be this way til all of you are slain As I let the darkness consume me and take my soul I plunge my sword to honor thee with another hole Unto thee I leave a burden that only I have known I have left you all alone You took my world and left me alive So now I've taken yours as I fade from your knife My wrath avenged...for I've passed it unto another And yet we wonder why our world in blood is covered

Angel O' sofar away Why did you forsake your blessed way When is it you fell from grace Or were you just portraying another face Is this the real hidden deep inside Why blame yourself for all who died What is it that ripped you apart What made you betray the one you served Why have you chosen the path of the damned All this I ask you and so you reply... Why can't you see that you'ree just like me With your soul torn between...

I'm sorry for all that's happened I'm sorry for all that I've done I'm sorry for all the times I've let you down I'm sorry for not  wanting to let go of all that I had once held onto I'm sorry for all the hell I put you through I'm sorry now, but it's too late It's too late to change our fate...
