Why 04:33
I want to know why You the preachers of peace Are the reason for death More wars are fought On your say of salvation For your own riches After the deed is done You condemn there actions As inhumane But still hate on those Whom have different opinions to your own And when they attack back You name them terrorists A danger to peace Your own version of peace Without understanding that You destroyed there peace Retaliation is human nature Tell me why I need to know why You bring so much grief and suffering Upon this cursed world I want to understand But with your illogical actions It’s impossible to My hate for you Grows each and every single day In the name of peace and love More people have died than lived Cried than smiled Been broken than fixed Because of the orders you have given Peace will never be achieved As long as the world is divided You keep it like this For more riches Taking away from those whom need it most And tighten the leash Or at least try to Motherfucker your time will come one day And you reign of rule will be over More people have died than lived Cried than smiled Been broken than fixed Because of the orders you have given

Cave 05:19
I’m in the cave Where the sun don’t shine Hiding from the world From the monsters Crippling fear holds me in Finding my self incapable of sleep My demons crawl in my head at night This insomnia I can’t let go Someone please save me from my self If not forever will I be locked in this cave Where the sun don’t shine Hiding from my own shadow From the monsters I have created Sleep destress is all I know In the end only drugs help Restless nights I still have I need a solution fast Or else I will shortly go crazy Insane out of my mind Trying to hold on my mind Griping tight in my sleep Like a kid scared underneath the sheets A cry for help no one hears In the middle of the woods In the end I can only wait You see we all at some point put ourselves in a cave or cage where we close ourselves in incapable of escape but ironically the key to exit is in our hands Waiting for a savior In the end though only I can save my self To fight the monsters And at last be free I want to go free I need to go free But for my salvation someone else has to suffer So after all I stay in the cave Afraid of the monster that is civilization That’s why after all these years I'm still here

Deadly Crime 07:16
In the fog of the morning Silence rips my hart The spirit’s of thy underworld Whisper to me Whisper to me It’s your time Your time to shine Your time to cry Your time to die Your time In the fog I miss my love They took it away To quiet to stand alone But I do it anyway And I realized It’s my time My time to shine My time to cry My time to die My time to sing Sing along a death song I hang my self from the noose Agonizing pain through my body As life drifts away Thinking of all the times I’ve been wronged In my final breath I say goodbye To this cruel and unforgiving world It’s my crime My crime to shine My crime to cry My crime to die All in all there all crimes there’s no escape from this fate as there deadly crimes with no forgiveness no salvation no redemption just pitch black darkness With no salvation no redemption no forgiveness With no redemption no forgiveness no salvation

Passage I 06:58
As any other day I open my eyes and get up from bed The morning sun shines through the windows blinding me for a moment I wash up then proceed to eat breakfast and get ready for work I walk to the subway with music in my ears, shutting my self in to me I exit the train and head to my workplace, a small cubicle enclosed in grey cupboard Sitting on a chair and looking in to a computer all day long, only getting up for lunch, until my shift is over After work me and some co-workers go out for drinks, but as always I sit in silence Once we finish our drink I go home to watch some TV, Ending my day by going to sleep, so I can restart my day once again I repeat this day after day, as days turn in to weeks, weeks turn in to months This vicious cycle of monotony continues with no end Stagnating my imagination, becoming unable to think outside the box Acting like a sloth, with no energy Intergrading my self in to the system and no happiness to call my own One day as I was walking down the street, I bumped into an old fried form school As it’s natural we embarked on a conversation, talking about our lives When I asked him what is his profession, he told me he’s an artist with very little success, however he’s happy with the life he lives So I decided to pick up an instrument myself, after a while the monotony left me Happiness came back in my life again Creativity filled every corner of my soul I started to become more sociable, which enabled me to find someone to love Trying out new stuff that I would never had imagined I would do For awhile all was good , but everything started to become routine again So I tried to find something else, I did! I began going to the gym Then again the same for a bit all was good but I keep going back to what I know best Again and again and again! I keep finding something new, to replace the old, with no end in sight Maybe I shall just end my life once and for all

My life has no meaning no more There’s nothing left for me here On this planet of solitude And repetition Depression in every corner So how will I take my life Shall I take the pill It’s not for sure that it will work Maybe I shall hang my self The thought of suffocation is not so comforting So I don’t have the strength In the end to go through it So what is my reason to live No happiness no life no love Monotony rules my day Except for some things which Eventually become part of the routine Stuck in viscous cycle of self hate and redemption Breaking bit by bit what’s left of my damaged soul Not worth much as a human I’m more like a wraith wandering the deadlands of society A ghoul of the night I will jump of a tall building For a moment I'll fly Then as I hit the floor I will be free as I was The day I was born Fade in to black now No longer haunting the streets The fall to grace I deserve Six feet under by the creek
