As the sun goes down
My thoughts run free
Can't get rid of this frown
Struggling with myself
Fighting with me
No one will help me chase
These feelings held within
Slowly losing my mind
Slipping into an abyss of darkness
Somewhere unkind
Everythings just a madness
Someone true to find
Before my body gets weaker
And it takes a journey it must take
Away from the body it once live
So very much at stake
Leaving the body thats begining to rot
Soon will be pushed away with a rake
But its heart has not stopped
Only very badly torn
This has to be a dream
But it doesn't feel fake
The soul now loose at its seam
The demons try to take
To make it a nothingness
But a true soul will come to thee
Help it heal
Make it a greatness
Help you feel
And give you love like never before
Set your pain free
Help you soar
Give back what the demon created
Take back what has been devoured
Hopeing this newness you'll store
And never again feel sour
Put the beat back into your heart
Give back your feeling
Never from your soul part
I my dear was brought to you
I'm here to give your life a meaning
My friend I'm here to keep your soul
Here to keep your thoughts new
Keeping you smiling will be my ever lasting goal
Even though I can't seem to wake
You will help me through
You will help my soul at any cost
By my side you will be
Making sure I don't get lost
In my heart I always knew
My soul you'll never set free

Wake up now!
And take a vow,
Without any delay,
Hear what your heart does say.
Must you know that no mountain,
Is invincible, yes you can,
Come out victorious,
Like a soldier courageous.
Act now since you must keep in mind,
That the fruit in the future you will certainly find.
I walk endless an road
locked into a heavy load
Of these questions and fears
Gripping from it's unreasonable tears
As a car roars by
I look dead into it's light
Wondering where it leads
But just like that it's gone
just like another day
As I wake up to the sun's harsh light
I try not to look back
As I attempt to fill this crack
Of this hurt and wonder
Unstoppable, a storm of rain and thunder
As a car roars by
I look dead into it's light
Wondering where it leads
But just like that it's gone
just like another night
As I stay up to the moon's hypnotic might
When does morning start?
When a creature awakes,
Or when the sun rises?
Yea, the morning is
When a creature awakes
To find it starting anew
In the world dominated
By mortal souls.
The human wakes up
First by opening its eyes,
Then stretching its muscles
And sitting up in a position
To retreat from the bed
That held it prisoner
During the long, dark night.
Out of bed it goes
Attending its normal
Robotic morning routine
Whilst thinking of the future,
Of what the day holds,
And how the day will go.
Either gleefully or woefully
Does the human think of this
For not all mornings
Are filled with happiness and glee.
Fearful not is the human
Who takes things as they go
Wave by wave.
Wave by wave harassing it,
Wave by wave attacking it,
Wave by wave saddening it,
Wave by wave entertaining it,
Wave by wave knocking it down.
Each wave the human does take
Accepting each as a challenge,
As an opponent, an obstacle,
And one that must be rid of.
Defeat is not in its dictionary,
For there is no defeat
If one can rise again,
And face the same challenge
To only be victorious.
The human does not give up,
It does not ponder on the past,
But it rises from its ashes -
Waking up to start anew
In a world dominated
By mortal souls.
You're Not a Prophet,
Just the Prince of Probability,
Not a Sinner,
Just a Social Square,
Your Eyes are Rough Cut Diamonds,
Heart's an Old Rocking Chair,
You Exist in Thick-Streams of Heavy Smoke,
Living on Borrowed Time,
The Headlines are Screaming,
Life's a Joke,
But the Funnies say You're Doing Just Fine,
When We Dream,
We Construct the Whole World,
That We Wake to in the Morning Light,
When it Seems,
That Dreams,
Not Your Kind of World,
Go Back to Sleep and Dream it Right
This is a revolution
Hear now what the children cry
Wake now from confusion
Your Savior stands in the sky
Your time is fast approaching
Life or loss, the choice is yours
Quickly, now, in this moment
Before time secures its doors
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
Can’t you tell
The conflict’s real
That we war
For your soul
To leave you empty
Or make you whole
Here He stands while the battle rages
You want to destroy yourself
Give up to the Rock of Ages
Only He saves people from Hell
He calls to let Him save you
He wants to give you life
All He asks is that you believe Him
For your old self give Him the knife
Put to death your old self
Crucify your lusts forever
Bury them, six feet deep
Never to rise, forever to sleep
All this for the love of God
All this for your own sake
All of this to tell others
Veracity from fake
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
Can’t you tell
The conflict’s real
That we war
For your soul
To leave you empty
Or make you whole
The time is now
The time is here
Why wait now
What do you fear?
Wake Up! Wake UP! No more sleeping in bed
Little Peter is crying he needs to be fed
Angie is failing she can’t even read
This problem exists because she is poor- that’s what her teacher now believes
We are failing our children while we lie asleep
Our family structure is failing and is proven to be weak.
Wake Up! Wake Up! Mother while Peter is being raped
By the same man you love and claim it’s you that he dates
Wake! Wake Up! Dad your daughter is growing old
She needs a man in her life – so she sleeps with the addict who treats her cold…
Wake Up mom and dad no more thinking about you
But instead of our children whose thoughts are misconstrued
The alarm clock has gone off- No more sleeping in bed
Let’s save the children we have left
‘Cause half of our children are already dead.
Wake Up!!!!
