Quietly
On a moonlit night Which dreams do make I sang a familiar song One of passion One of power But inside I felt so wrong Something wasn’t there I was empty inside Missing something I knew Feeling sad Feeling alone For I was missing you I want to be there in your arms Holding you so close to me I want to be there in your heart Tenderly I want to be there with you now And feel you next to me When I tell you that I Love You Quietly I can feel your warmth So I try to sing But it only brings a tear For I’m still…

Anthem
As I look into your eyes I see a saddened cry You think that one day I won’t be there As I whisper in your ear You keep inside a darkened fear That one day I just won’t care But I tell you now I’ll never leave What must I do to make you believe That I’ll never go away Just hold inside that I love you true That love will always shine for you Again I say I’ll forever stay Will you ever understand A woman’s the best part of a man? And that you’re the biggest part of me? Can’t I make it clear to you That there’s…

A Fine Line
Walk a tightrope carefully Don’t be bold Feel the wire beneath your feet Don’t lose control Dance between the bullets of life and death Chance the danger — a whispered breath Adrenaline rise — See it in your eyes Experience the heat Of inevitable defeat It’s a fine line Between being a hero And being a memory Be courageous Don’t be blind Take responsibility Foolishness will take you to a lonely time When they remember you as a hero who crossed the line Survival is a fancy name For staying alive It’s important to know Just when to take a dive There’s no need to prove yourself to everyone Always…

Simple Thoughts
Two people bound by love Sharing each other’s dreams Hoping to find what seems To be the gift from above Struggling to make things better Concerned over meaningless pasts Trying to lock down love in time To be sure it will always last Anxiously awaiting the future Trying to peek through the door Searching for a glimpse of hope The hope of having more Hand in hand in heart and mind Compelled that they knew of The invulnerable force of simplest kind Which binds them together in love…

The Fortress
(part 1 of Survival) I The Preparation The mote is filled And the drawbridge tight — Their weapons are their tools For survival For the Guardians of the fortress Prepare to defend themselves Against a hungry pack Of wolves The clouds come rolling in Death watches with a grin… Fear and Courage Partners in a lonely quest for more Their strategy is fate Live by the sword, die by the sword II The Empire The Imperial leaders ponder A hopeless way around it Their tyranny’s caught up with Them at last Power wasn’t everything They always wanted more So now their flags flutter at half-mast The rebels flow over the…

Treasure Hunt
Searching for more silver And grains of gleaming gold For eminence and esteem — The prominent pastime of old A constant quest For more than can be Possibly possessed For power and oppression — Hopelessly obsessed Since the completion of the start And commencement of the end There’s one thing that’s always been — Greed The one mortal flaw That unifies us all And hardens the softest heart Greater wages for less labor A goal for all to share For awe and admiration From those who couldn’t care To sustain self-certitude For success and satisfaction Use not fraudulent force But the Heart’s pure application Naive expectations Of younger generations “Have…

Visions
I have visions in my dreams Of lonely people on lonely streets I have visions in my dreams Of quiet schools with empty seats I have visions while I work Of scattered people in scattered towns I have visions while I eat And it’s too late to stop it now Something will happen I have foreseen a sudden change Something strange is coming And no one can stop the pain I’ve envisioned many things And they have all come true And this, my friends, is just the same We’ve played our hands and lost the game Some say “Let there be peace on earth” But what they have in mind…

Lights
Stars of white Flickering bright Angels to guide our way They give us sight In a darkened night And sometimes take our breath away They help us on our journeys Turn on when we are home Save us from the demons While we’re sleeping alone Together and apart They share a common heart — To help us to pretend That the day will never end Searching for darkness to overcome Fighting to reach the eyes of some Shining sparks Spirits of dark Traveling beyond Forever free For us to see Sailing on and on… They bring life to motion And emotion to our lives We panic without them For without…

Progress
Moving through confusion Moving through the breeze Between the crowded minds That walk the city streets Avoiding hope and vision Avoiding common change Traveling the darkened road Wondering if indifference guides their way Trying to break away from stagnant fear Hoping one day to sail the open sea Losing ground while others follow In the footsteps of thoughts set free — Distrusting their gut feeling Not taking the forbidden risk Unlike many before who tried And jumped ahead in steady stride Running around in circles Running around unclear Searching for the open door To let their dreams appear Not wanting what they’ve seen Not liking what they’ve read Trying to…

Castalia
Time has long since passed before me As I dreamed of what would come Sometimes sitting alone in darkness My mind has grown weary and numb Desperately seeking inspiration That special something of mind That comes and goes in a blink of an eye I can’t have left it far behind Castalia! Weep, let me drink your tears Cascade across my sullen fears Pour on me your inspiration That I may create for years Give me back a meaning for my life So that I may carry on To share with the rest of humanity The reasons for any song Castalia! Flow, for Muses’ sake So that I may lie…
