BROOD Lyrics

Please God show me a path

Writing my notes in the bath

Candles evoking the past

Phantoms and ghosts in the vast

Space floating they cast

shadows they spoke through the glass

Conjured up hope with a trace

No need to throw in the trash

All of the words that I've written

There is a message within 'em

But that's after I'm gone

Then it will all be forgiven

All of the pain that I suffered

Wipe away all my commitments

Made to a life of misleading myself

In thinking I've given

Something of worth to the world

Thoughts of a man that I could be

Hoping that you understood me

I spent twelve years of my life only making wrong decisions

Now it's time that I've risen

Up from the shackles that held me

There isn't nothing to tell me

I am the one who can help me

And that's the lonely truth

I've been too busy with leaves

I should begin at the roots

Hacking away at the self

Finding the way to the self

Even if nobody noticed

Was at my lowest of lowests

Now I smell roses and lotus

I'm done with that braggadocios

This ain't my magnum opus

My dream is way bigger that POTUS

Free all the new world slaves like Moses

Snap them out of hypnosis

Cut the heads off of cobras

Fuck your ulterior motives

Losing my temper

The axe forgets but the tree remembers

I'm from a branch that was severed

But never surrendered only dismembered

the game is Enders

Speaking from embers

I'll rise again like a phoenixes feathers

And bring love and victory like Venus's pleasures

I went to meet with 4 elders

And spoke of their fortune from tellers

Their is war that is coming

For the soul of this country

Time has tolled for the Coventry

The silenced, the scorned, and the hungry

You can believe this as credence

We'll rise up and will form an allegiance

And you could never defeat 'em

Many are legion

Nothing can stop a people that's only desire is freedom

What are you fighting for tell me there a better reason?

I'm the imperfect hero

Fly with the vultures and sparrow

I am the slave that broke loose from the chains of pharaohs

And led my people to freedom from demons with bow and arrows

Screaming my coded carols

Floating on logs and barrels

Crossed oceans of terrors

Washed away all despairs

To reach the promise we shared

But then a darkness ensnared

We lost our minds in the mists

Wandered for thousands of years

Martyrs of time as it ticked

Time is the greatest trial

The water will leak until you plug the cask with a spile

Only lasted a while

The collective vision was gone

Wallowed around like snails

Swallowed by whales like prawns

Expelled from belly's of beasts

Dwelled as sands in the reef

Awaiting tales of a dawn

The suns rises as you forget all that you've undergone

Born in the ether

Returns the primordial creature

Free from the prisons of past

Unto a new life is cast

Be free and ever last
