stars in their eyes
a smile peaking from my lips
the salt in the air
singing with the breeze
the ugly truth piercing
like a high pitched ringing
silence to appease
awkward staring
phrases lingering
I can see it on their faces
empty words, empty praises
wooden eyes painted bright
silver tongue shinning
another worthless decoration
what a miserable collection
my lips are bloody
blistered from the salted air
my face
a blood stained smirk
from ear to ear

gallows awaiting
my every movement stalked by these beasts
Maybe i was a fool but I’m not a mutineer
i don’t even bother looking over my shoulder
i know their presence
they’d love to string me up
gluttons for rumors
poisoning them with envy
hate found their prideful hearts
they point their wrathful fingers
lusting for the noose
greed draws their strings
apathy was my true crime
gallows awaiting
my every movement stalked by these beasts
Maybe i was a fool but I’m not a mutineer
the waiting unnerving
i swear i didn’t fall asleep
the terrors in the night had me shaking
theres no conspiracy
the terrible deep staring
Green eyes from under the waves
then sudden the quaking

Clutching the Knives
02:12
|
|
||
these scoundrels walk among us
tension cutting like a knife
The will to move
the will to die
Ill-intent stirring
clutching at our sides
staring daggers
biding my time
these scoundrels walk among us
their indecency knows no bounds
If we sweat this out we're sure to drown
Ill-intent stirring
clutching at our sides
staring daggers
biding my time
snide eyes condemning
In the shadow of the skyline
restraint loosening

Looming Storm
03:13
|
|
||
bare witness
destruction nearing
the prophecy foretold
the lines deciphered
No hope in sight
a veil of fog emerges
stealing the sky
The void closing in
no rest for the weary
wind whipping with righteous fury
a storm is brewing
the time is nigh
under the shroud of night
he’ll never see it coming
those with him
will go down with the ship
I’m taking command
this is my right
we’ve been steering to the rocks
you’ll doom us all

Marred Banners
01:58
|
|
||
your paranoid delusions will be your coffin
each nail driven by your incompetence
you embraced a crooked king
your loyalty was rewarded
your glory days are over
you are but a man
we stand against a tyrant
tear down your rank
we’ll rip down these banners
we’ll end your reign
sneering at the roaring crowds
worthless chanting from worms
you bought your crown with the words of fools
we stand against a tyrant
tear down your rank
we’ll rip down these banners
we’ll end your reign

Scars on the Ocean
02:47
|
|
||
devestation hardening
the sounds of battle quiet
sights of horror widening
open wounds aching
the slaughtered slip into the sea
soaked in the blood up to our knees
groaning echos through the night
there’s no such thing as grace
desolation consuming
no ground to gain
waiting to strike
blood stained
day breaks through
this beating inside my chest
murder between each breath
These killing grounds will not move
burning flesh to close wounds

Architects of Mutiny
02:21
|
|
||
the cruelties we endured
how humiliation and belittlement grow
into a spire of hatred
I can still hear the whistling of the whips
forsaken eyes staring
they had it coming
it was only a matter of time
the inevitable came
screaming like a storm
tearing through us
night hid our sins
madness swirling and blood boiling
now theres not even a visible scar
i stand trial for simply wanting to exist
I don’t owe anyone an explanation
i’d jump into shark infested waters
floating exile to escape five hostile years
misery from a captain
that thinks he’s god
a tyrant turning our backs into mincemeat
to serve his glory
we sailed too close to the rocks
