Wager Cage 05:26
lyrics
I’ve been given the chance to live too fast and surrender all that would be new These eyes have burned through all that they yearned to leaving all the victims to waste But I won’t stop when there’s stones unturned I’ll risk drowning when the bridges are burned Life’s prizes are there for those willing to earn Life is too short is what I have learned How many times are there left to pretend to start it all over Contraband of the weak are the sum of these missed opportunities The empty glass has seen me past many so called trials of faith At times too haunting are the daunting tasks that render this path an obsession (Repeat Chorus) Crossed the lines and adored in a land more fit for guest invention Dead on the vine is the sign that this box has become more of a cage A sage committed to ruin Frustration is having the key but fearing unlocking options with outcomes unseen Frustration’s the key Nearing the last the anchor is cast and it’s found that hunger is fleeting. No point in cheating if it’s better sleeping to awake in another phoenix blaze Stagnant lives make for closing minds Self-centered bets and ignorant crimes No journey takes flight without cutting the ties Most never know because they never try Ask if it’s wise to ignore all the jealous who spend time condescending Ask if the time that they spend would be better spent with mirror and self reflection Ask if you might find in exposure a fresh sense of energy Ask if I would say yes to all of this as a reason for prosperity

Sapphire Eyes 04:47
lyrics
Hello and welcome the doorman says Good to see you once again as if he cares The truth be told in his mocking stare How are the girls I ask in jest Knowing well they are the best I can’t be bothered with any less A little bit of liquor and we’re rolling with the rock n’ roll Your sweat like honey flows And when you’re coming on strong like a locomotive You’re kind of crafty but baby I know your motive I could quench my thirst but can I taste your lies So it’s through the door the rabbit hole Where at the bottom mingle lonely souls It’s at the bar that I assume my throne Here the cats show you the way All trickery aside I like the ride and the riddle’s answered once you pay (Repeat Chorus) Delicious disguise maybe the devil is wise As fruit and serpent they cross the line they’re tempting boundaries It’s getting late but daddy’s merely had a taste I’m going to ride this one out This cowboy’s gamble is to go for broke Ringmaster shake it faster wont’ you make me beg Shake it faster girl won’t ya’ make me beg with your Sapphire eyes how they hypnotize It takes me quite some time before I realize that you are changing me You never lose with your sultry moves Elliptical your spell’s the dance and you are changing me with your Sapphire eyes how they hypnotize It takes me quite some time before I realize you are changing me Rolling with the liquor and drowning in the rock n’ roll Your sweat baby like honey flows And when you’re coming on strong like a locomotive You’re kind of crafty but baby I know your motive I could quench my thirst but can I taste your lies How sweet the sting of baby’s behind Barbwire, sapphire eyes required of a seductress This huntress has claimed her prey

Shake It 04:10
lyrics
Shake it like a good girl should having her heart in flames Then you can shake like a bad girl would free of any blame Take it when it’s not in the cards, it’s better than false hope Take it when it’s time to stand when you’re at the end of your rope Shake it when it’s holding you back stealing all your will away Shake it with a tiger’s wrath when fighting is the only way You’re looking for your own way out of here Little do you know… Wake it if the sleeper breathes buried so deep inside Wake it when the fire’s hot It lets you know your passion’s alive Shake it if it’s holding you back stealing all your will away Shake it with a tiger’s wrath when fighting is the only way You’re looking for your own way out of here Little do you know… The answer to all that of which we do not know Lies waiting to be found… Shake it like a good girl should having her heart in flames Then you can shake like a bad girl would free of any blame Shake it when it’s holding you back taking all your will away Shake it with a tiger’s wrath when fighting is your only way You’re looking for your own way out of here Little do you know… The answer to all that of which we do not know Lies waiting to be found…in ourselves

A Patriot's Eulogy 02:59
lyrics
Proud to be an American despite the theft of pride from the weak who hide behind the poor who die voting for promised lies. Sometimes I think this nation’s lost her very soul We the people of The United States must Save our mother Sleeping are her citizens When Uncle Sam plays taps then will we know It’s time to take up arms we’ve been overthrown Twisting amendments meanings come and they go. At times I fear this nation may have sold her very soul. We the people of The United States must Save our mother Flying oh so very high The beauty of blue and white… the red for those who’ve died someone tell me is this really what it all comes down to Are we living in the end When the TV trains a willing slave in eagle’s eyes the colors fade Mother can our flag be saved I fear “We the people” may have sold our very souls Freedom’s throne Now that she’s gone

Some Years of Living Dangerously 05:20
lyrics
When the show is over soon and the curtain doesn’t call your name Scarring eyes are the lasting wounds The gifts that are bestowed on you Some live life very dangerously never facing their mortality Placing faults and regrets aside Memories should serve when asking why The same cyclic happenings are still plaguing a talent for wondering While contemplation’s itching burn finds finesse in questioning everything Some years of living dangerously have gone and taken All that would captivate leaving the saving grace of goodbye Time Always fading away Time Never forgotten Spiraling down in the hole Selfish are those that won’t cope Further down they drag more Spiraling down in the hole (Repeat chorus) Oh how remembering the lost can seem to revive those fallen to atrophy A wiser light can expose the truth for what it really is A dark chapter in close has shown beginnings only come after endings

The Fires of Rome 03:48
lyrics
Her awakening son breathes life into a banshee’s wail The angels of Rome burns their own homes screaming madly as they perish in flames It’s not up to father so mother’s pulling the reigns How many towers must fall before we look at ourselves and realize that we allow it this way These thoughts make you question more The same villains protesting wars Ignite the fires on our own shores Self serving and nothing more Plead for a savior then call her a whore Mother weeps for her children as cancer’s embraced Truth lays down the law backhanding those whose minds are numb or the eagles is slain The triumph of lions comes too late in these games Accountability’s card tossed aside negligent children should be so ashamed (Repeat Chorus) It’s through the media’s treason that the Romans are trained They cannot see why Rome burns in disgrace I again bury my face in this box of snakes (Repeat Chorus) The trend would be to take the prize shun the past and flaunt the lies Morality fades with closing eyes We cannot look to our father for resolution It is up to the sons and daughters of this nation

Scarring Card 03:40
lyrics
And so we meet again… So real yet surreal to see you now it’s astounding how we try to quaintly make amends Rejecting yet reflecting in silence to a time when all of this would seem the likely and mundane Washing it all away The game is up so you conjure up convincing magic the past was once tragic fans of drama would declare I indulge cutting deep with the sharp and the hard the scarring card has now come into play Washing it all away I don’t care I don’t care anymore Ideas of change have long since been cast aside it’s very much like hope is lost in winter It’s quite a show for those that know It’s like I’ve said before there’s always more for the show must go on Washing it all away I don’t care I don’t care anymore

Hunting Sirens and Wolves 04:18
lyrics
Taking a simple guess Recognizing the tension Do the songs of the siren find grace in self praise If I should quit taking heed to suggestion These calls forge a structure though hallow it’s raised. I was the soldier yearning for the fight Distorting hunger feasting on demise I was the hunter preying on the lies Reborn in fire this choice ablaze in light Once again I’m left with one more day than the last Apathy has cast her stones how brightly shown these losses of the past Yesterday has met her match in the future hope no longer trapped No longer trapped am I I hunt the hunter time’s gift all more the wise Bold imitations the targets most despised I am the soldier thirsting for the fight Reborn in fire this flames preempts the sword Once again I’m left with one more day than the last Apathy has cast her stones how brightly shown these losses of the past Yesterday has met her match in the future hope no longer trapped No longer trapped am I I’ve heard the trumpets wail and seen the peaks so high Never was the coffin’s nail and yet the dream can’t be denied Like the hatchet prone not to bury weary, final, steady This phoenix preys on the wolves. Dire is the need for this based on rights perception Will the wrongs of the vile find shame in the blaze I’ll slaughter all the wolves

MacArthur 03:56
lyrics
Drive Lash Forge Raise the flag and shape the martyr In the tunnel a five-starred dragon Holding his pipe and facing the enemy On Bataan certain death was expected Tales of valor, Caesar, and vanity Long way from home Shells christen the new day Those loved are close Heroes never sway Drive Lash Forge Raise the flag and shape the martyr First by air by sea and last by land Storming the beach if protected by deities One god’s dethroned by the island’s setting sun Tales of valor, Caesar, and vanity And it’s a long way back home Rebirth of the world Conquered and lost in shame Compassion this leader displays It’s a long way back home Pride discharged her champion Bittersweet his home Lost are our heroes
