Album: A Part of Orion
From Skies Above
​
I see this city for what it is
So shine bright
Contrive away from solitude
Into this hour the air inhaled tonight
Proclaimed here after
We’ll shine bright
Especially as necessary to light
Although contingent to deprive all affliction
Misfortune shall not define
Nor overwhelm the air we breathe
Free us a captive nation
On left or right
The elites against the masses
From skies above
Forgo the life of the dreamer
That which is lost
Can always be found
Through crossing paths
I’ve mistaken my own
Identity
Dissolving this intrusion
Of hope
The desire of something more
To become ourselves
Unfolding life
Mystery of unspoken words
Through parables
How is life, so endearing
Control the caption
Reclaim your position
Free us a captive nation
On left or right
The elites against the masses
Free us a captive nation
On left or right
I see this city for what it is
So shine bright
Contrive away from solitude
Into this hour the air inhaled tonight
Proclaimed here after
We’ll shine bright
Especially as necessary to light
​
Shudder
​
I am haunted by your face
So much time I have wasted
The lesson, tomorrow doesn’t always arrive
Till the end I stood bedside
Bedside
What sets us apart since I’ve become awake
Following in your footsteps
What I’d give to turn back time
One more day
Just an hour
To share how I feel
A shudder so quiet you can’t hear
Open cries another door shuts
Buried silence
It’s not your fault
To share how I feel
Who’d known the end was so near
In my own reflection
Did I grow to be the man you wished of me?
Are you proud?
My hero, I miss you so
An image of you stares back through my life
Reminiscing times we shared
With a smile that lit up the room
Gone too soon
Lend me a sign that you’re still guiding me
Will I keep on writing the same old stories?
Answer me the divine as I have pledged my life to you
Peace of mind
Request for sublime
Will I keep on writing the same old stories?
Send me a message
Give me a sign
As I stand strong in your image
I feel I have to believe
To me belongs yesterday
And tomorrow I know
In a distorted world
How invincible I’ve come to feel
Will I keep on writing the same old stories?
Answer me the divine as I have pledged my life to you
Peace of mind
Request for sublime
Will I keep on writing the same old stories?
Send me a message
Give me a sign
Will I keep on writing the same old stories?

Another Look In The Mirror
​
Your whole life is a lie
Tear through destruction
Calling all angels to sing
My inner demons awake
Arise
From the ashes
In the depths of my own beliefs
Held captive
How invasive
Beaten and thrown
As tomorrow swims the circles
The outline for today
A loop on delay
We’re already dying
Just live or die with your name
Making all the difference
Help others pave the way
My will to survive
Openly deny the illustration
We turn to what is broken
To what is broken
For fear of missing out
I’ve seemed to miss the rest
We turn what is broken
To what is broken
For fear of missing out
I’ve seemed to miss the rest
Now, turn down the torment
To elude disappointment
Casting light in the darkness
Crushed by emotion
Teach me how to feel, how to love
My test of faith
A faded horizon I see right before me
Before the end of my days
I’ll find, how to love and relate
Transform this day in a message
I know you hear this all the time but silence is the path
To guide your own
Voice
Here are the broken
Rising up
Facing our demons
Distinguishing who we are
Accepting the gift
Feed me through eternity ascending my own condemnation
My beliefs will carry on
A thought for the hopeless
True intentions dawn x2
From Voices Within
​
United
When all of the hatred’s gone
We will stand as one
United for a cause
United x2
It brings me home
United x2
When all of the hatred’s gone
We will stand as one
United for a cause
It brings me home
United
When all of the hatred’s gone
We will stand as one
United for a cause
It brings me home
United
A call for sedition
To maintain hope
The truth concealed
From all of us
How can we live so blindly?
Yet suddenly there’s color the blind can now see
The recognition of black and white
It feels like yesterday
The air was still so cold that night
Yet vividly I can remember
The sounds of chaos strike fear into motion
Overtaking who we were past who we wanted to be
A thought in motion
In plain sight for those who wish to see
They’ll take everything from us
Once again
How can we live our entire lives based on uncertainty?
I get my strength from above
This perfect vision gives clarity
Inspired by restraints we proceed to rise
Against those corrupted
We’ll fight back
Oh the horror of facing the enemy
Who is this shadow figure who knows my name?
The air was still so cold that night
Yet vividly I can remember
The sounds of chaos strike fear into motion
Overtaking who we were past, who we wanted to be
A thought in motion
In plain sight for those who wish to see
They’ll take everything from us
Once again
How can we live our entire lives based on uncertainty?
I get my strength from above
It’d mean everything to put an end to all
The stirring voices in the wind how could this be?
As answers unfold to me

Clearing Horizons
​
Learn to let go
Transpire past this illusion
Cast your own shadow
A means to an end
Broader statements need be made
This is the time maybe now you’ll embrace
You’re delusional
Come with me
I can see through your lies
I walked miles away from all I’ve dreamed
Speak to me
Tell me am I alive or fading in and out
Speak to me
Crowded behind these walls I swear I can hear your voice
As life passes by
Do I accept my position in stance?
Tell me no lies
Your feast of dead crows
A discovery, a second chance
To recover purpose
I can see through your lies
I walked miles away from all I’ve dreamed
Speak to me
Tell me am I alive or fading in and out
Speak to me
Crowded behind these walls I swear I can hear your voice
Speak to me
Tell me have our heroes died or are you here with me
If you’re not ashamed
Raise your arms
We lit the fire to rid oppression
Let me see you jump
Your past burns as it fades to ash
Live your life
The skies in reach never settle for less than you deserve
In coming times will you remember where we started who we were?
I feed the memories we leave behind
The spotlights on you will you be calling home to me tonight
In coming times will you remember?
​
Damascus
​
I’ve seen, I’ve read the scriptures
From the prophets hand
Let this be, as it’s written into stone
Watch as the pale horse canters to define
Divided we’re blinded
To what’s at stake
Relinquish we’re dead inside
I’m surrounded by darkness
In sight I see a ghost not faint before my eyes
That wayward path
Thy seed shall not grow
All eyes have seen what has been erouding
Beneath through time
Time after time
Can this be real?
A once was vision fading
A voice inside my mind
Stealing pure souls through objections
Consumed though demonstration
A taken loss of life
Hear me as I am the creator
Of all
A false witness who speaks only in lies
And one who sows
Discords amongst brethren
As misery love company
That one regret is a lack of commitment
As cascading failures are washed away
A once was vision fading
A voice inside my mind
Stealing pure souls through objections
Consumed though demonstration
A taken loss of life
Though I believe
This calling defines true nature
As we presume forgotten lives
In essence of soulution
Hold yourselves to a higher standared
Do relay the message
Thy will be done
One heart, one chance, one life to lead
Yet still
We let our dreams just die
One heart, one chance, one life to lead
So still not far away and yet still
We let our dreams just die away x2
​
​
Spotting Grace
​
We must rebuild
Trust in me
We’ll acknowledge this as our reminder
To who we were
Lead me toward salvation
Regain hope
Desperately align your convictions
With the fight to be free
We lead this world
Though, designed in restraints
In dire weakness
Through this illusion
We see the rain
Fall through
If dates I can’t remember
Beautiful skies
Visualize lend your imagination
To rekindle the life you once knew and had
Let this be
Your inspiration
Now I’ve acknowledged my own weakness finding great strength
To overcome
Though odds are stacked against I cannot, will not let this slip away
The gift of living for today
Relive
Heartless, brilliant intention
Defacing the value of us all
We lead this world
Though, designed in restraints
In dire weakness
Through this illusion
We see the rain
Fall through
Of dates I can’t remember
Beautiful skies
Visualize lend your imagination
To rekindle the life you once knew and had
Let this be
Your inspiration
​
Lucid Dream
​
Well what is this I’ve seemed to miss along the way
How you’re so picture perfect for me
Countless nights tossing and turning
I was wide awake
Hoping you’d come back wishing you would stay
Knowing the day will never show
I’m just so tempted to call
Instead I’ll have to grow
I’m singing this song
To put my heart at ease
As I let go of our good times
I let the good times walk past me
I take full responsibility
I let the good times walk past me
To know yourself and who we are
Moving on
Through my own struggles I’ve turned a new leaf
A second chapter
To rewrite
So you can revise
This encrypted story finding closure I so desperately need
I let the good times walk past me
I take full responsibility
Rest assure playing victim won’t provide you
With what you seek in life
Define yourself
Not by the hand that you’ve been dealt
It’s all too familiar
Make it count
Define yourself
Make it count
​
Ghost of a Victim
​
Freedom
In due time we’ll the tides that are rising
The fear of drowning ascends
I’ll keep this locked inside of me
Until I can’t hold on
From the perspective of a dead man
You reap what you sow
Shall we continue
This road of self pity
Woe was me
But now I oversee my lifeless body
Watching as they lowered me
Into the ground
Though I still remain
They close their eyes
Searching to find the memories
Holding on so tightly
Remember; remember me for who I once was
Not as I lay here before you now
Desperation leads demise
I see the face of a victim
One I can recognize
The realization I’m a ghost
Yet I am still not alone
As the keeper draws near
Though not who I had expected
Approaching hooded in black
To steal my eternity
From me
From the perspective of a dead man
You reap what you sow
Shall we continue
This road of self pity
Woe was me
But now I oversee my lifeless body
Watching as they lowered me
Into the ground
But who am I to claim to be the victim
I’ve left so many with broken hearts, nightmares for dreams
I’ve seen it all
Now understanding the lie that we all live
We lead our lives through hollow deception
The interpretation what is you should be me
Full of greed and envy the desire for more
Has stripped everything from me
As I’m watching over her has she forgotten me?
Coming to terms
I realize the consequence of my final mistake
As I stand here at the gates of hell
Knowing that I’ve been convicted
Trapped for all my days
I’ve lost it all
My love, my wife
​

After the Wolves
​
Into my heart
It bleeds
Long before I’m aware
There’s nothing in this world
That can lift our souls
While fallen men attempt to climb out of their fears
The mind begins to enter itself
As so many call for answers
Few will feel remorse
To witness our country in darkness
As emptiness devours who we were
We’ve changed for the worst
Like angels with broken wings
We’ve lost our faith
In a nation that prides itself on greed
We’re seeing past our reflection
We’re after the wolves
Under the moonlight let this be your reminder
We’re still alive
Feeling has become so rare in a world so numb x2
Listen close to me now
And mark my words
A failed system has left us all behind to fend for ourselves
We step over the homeless, the hungry, how sad to see
We prefer to be the passer by, then to reach out our hand
Your reflection has be compromised
By the system you hate
We are the plague
And though my intentions are clear
To awaken those asleep
Confined within the lines
Only few will pursue all the signs
A new world in our grasp
I’ve witness strength from the weak
A lost cause searching for the answer
If I should look away,
if I should look away would things all still be the same
And as time seems to move on, on and on
I fear we’re standing still
If I should look away, if I should look away
Would things all still be the same
Hidden within, stand up and find a way out
With new beginnings just the know worst is yet to come into play
You’ll soon find out,
Feeling has become so rare in a world so numb x2
Listen close to me now
And mark my words
A failed system has left us all behind to fend for ourselves
We step over the homeless, the hungry, how sad to see
​
Enter the Mind
​
I’ve seen faces not mine enter my mind
I’ve seen faces not mine liberate your mind
Tear through the cycle to entertain for you
Amidst the altercation
Encompassed by the few
Do you believe in me?
With my eyes wide open
Point of view
Has become my obsession
In the depths of me
How long will I hold up
Do stay for a while with an open mind
Show me define the guidelines
Dragged out from gnashing teeth
The information age is over
And now it seems we’re starving for wisdom
It’s night and day from where we were till now
As yesterday feels so far away
I’ve been waiting on this but now it’s arrived
I revise everything we’d hoped for
Yet I’m the dreamer
Walking along the sidelines
I’ve tapped into something more than divine
This demonstration of true integrity
Show me the light
I can’t sleep at night I see the faces in my mind reflecting
Liberate your mind
Convinced that I have awaken
I can now sleep at night
Do you believe in me?
With my eyes wide open
Point of view
Has become my obsession
In the depths of me
How long will I hold up
Do stay for a while with an open mind
Show me define the guidelines x2
Dragged out from gnashing teeth
​
Force of Action
​
Reclaim let go
To thrive inside
To witness life flash before my eyes
Before I let go
Let me know I have your blessing
As open caskets shut
Do reach for me now
My own endeavors portray a sequence of deception
Through all is evil
Between silence and beauty I’ll see the darkness in the light forevermore
One must see to believe our existence will carry on
We’re not destined for wrath but to obtain salvation
Salvation x2
In my fault of decisions
What’s left behind
Which leaves us all to weak
Avoidance of behavior, alive in a world of motion
That which stay in decline
Because a day without you feels like forever to me
I search the skies so blue to find you
Screaming back at me
We’ll break away from the heartless
Enter an empty mind
With clear views it could be placed together
Consolidate you’re divinity
Bring forth a new beginning
And now I watch as the fallen take no comfort in lies
My time for you as expected, shall be forgotten
The shaded line that meets the sand
Travels untold, unexpected, do forgive me now
A taste of the tides
The under toe that pulls beneath the surface face
As forward lies remain disguised
Case this, a new beginning
Bring forth transcend, unmask, lay down disguise
Cursed as I’m told without pattern x2
Cursed as I’m told without pattern
In an act of desperation to fill the void
The gift of purpose
To belong, to whom I may rely
Maintain composure
We live to fight another day
To end the suffering
Our existence shall lay the path as there is hope for the one true king
Though I am not worth the saving
Break away from the thoughtless
Hours of life spent running from time
