Guilty and Grateful

Walked the path of cunning
Many lives for sure
Saw cataclysm coming
Raven says evermore
Guilty and grateful
While the game unwinds
Guilty and grateful
Passing by in time

Walked a path of shadows
Through the great unknown
Camped upon the meadows
And prospered on the bones
Guilty and grateful
How many games are played
Guilty and grateful
From bottle to the grave

Walked a path of shining
Enlightenment to find
Looked to minds aligning
Instinct gathers kind
Guilty and grateful
The spiral ever turns
Guilty and grateful
Still the fires burn

Walked the path of cunning
Many lives unknown
New spring ever coming
Another layer grown
Guilty and grateful
While the game unwinds
Guilty and grateful
Passing by in time

Brother Tear

And then I found them, the places of the tears
There’s no way to fly away without the pain
Can’t help it, I’ve remembered through the years
It never wavered nor even questioned in the least
But it’s pure and it’s real when we both knew it
Gaze to gaze acknowledge those three days
A depth of thousand times to stone through it
Peace made and understood as souls feast
Not the position of either preference spoken
When quick acceptance is the only path set forth
Time of the essence comes fore contact is broken
Nor wishful paths to entertain or to greet
My heart broke for you but you knew that would be
Understood that no judgment could ever come forth
A love of you not your body was my message to thee
In strength we bore but you did more and I just watched helplessly
Yet there was agreement upon a sign that we know
Change is change with the passage of time all alone
Agreement upon the signs set in stone
Agreement upon the signs
Agreement upon the line
Agreement about the crying
I’ll be looking for you​
 
Last Darkness


Struggle hopes finding,
Dark feeling blinding
Course twisted yet,
Set spiraling down
Space in between,
Circumstances unseen
Together through change,
Naked answers found

Full spectrum indwelling,
But expressed upwelling
Desire to steer it,
New course and plot
But current in hour,
Overwhelming with power
Washed it away,
Stage and all with the lot

Knowing the forehand,
Really comforts no man
Distributes desires cross,
Long night’s days
Forced to regret,
And inevitably upset
Soil has gain,
Carved into its ways

Winters last darkness,
More fitting to harken
New birthing mother,
Continuance and why
Though spiraled and spins,
It starts once again
Seeks the old of new,
A look in its eyes

Finer the stone,
With paths well worn,
Between hearts and souls
Weeds cannot grow
Remembered care taken,
And never awaken,
The sadness of one
That can never know
 
Your lyrics give me the vibe of the prog metal band Opeth, or like a progressive type, melodic Nordic metal, if that makes sense. Good stuff!
 
Unjustified


Verse:

A long and tangled story, on Sundays we are told
A people from the East, have titled our souls
Blindly we believe, and gladly they deceive
Defining the wealth, they’ve stolen our dreams
How long will we hide, how many people died
Before the truths, veils pulled aside

Chorus:
Your children cried
They’re trapped inside
And you’ve crucified
Them with your lies
Unjustified
Unjustified
Unjustified
Unjustified


Verse:
Souls we will write, battles we will fight
Darkness shall come, before the light
Those children are strong, about them written songs
The arrogance is blind, and helped move it along
They cannot hide, no more children died
And in the end, deception has been tried


Chorus:
Uncovered lies
Opened my eyes
Unjustified
Tell them your lies
Unjustified
Unjustified
Unjustified
Unjustified

[JAM HARD]


Chorus:

Uncovered lies
Opened my eyes
Unjustified
Tell them your lies
Unjustified, Unjustified
Unjustified, Unjustified

 
Are You Free Now



Who taught us, what we’re supposed to be
Made the rules, for you and me
What are their plans, I cannot see
Meaning in it all, if we’re not free

Have you seen it
Will you live your dreams
And keep it real I mean
Have you lived it
Will you become your dream
How do we find destiny

Trade life for money, is it still slavery
Lie to your face, and sign here please
No need to cage, we come back willingly
Sleeping at the wheel, becoming their machines

Are you free now
Can you truly be
What does that really mean
Are you free now
Or has that ever been
Should we change the dream

We think it’s ours, but don’t forget the fee’s
You can have it now, and they wait patiently
Sold piece by piece, exhaust and denigrate
Emotions played for gain, used to facilitate

We want more money
We want more things
What does that really bring
It never satisfies
Want more and more it seems
And that’s not living free

(Jam)

Are you free now
Yeah that can truly be
Find it together see
When we’re all born
They teach us slavery
see what it really means

solo(s)

Are you free now
Can you truly be
What does that really mean
Are you free now
Or has that ever been
Should we change the dream​
