the exile
damned to his cell
here in the void
no witness
to hear his appeal
cold stone
crucible forged,
in the wake of Their war
these iron bars
form the walls he has known
no word or sign
of the one he intended to save
hearts cast aside
and for all of the love that he gave
she had none
no tears
for the father who fell
remembered in song
burned alive
for the sake of the son
can you see
the scars,
he has received?
each mark
he bears in defiance
no word or sign
of the one he intended to save
hearts cast aside
and for all of the love that he gave
she had none
you and I
you and I
should have seen the skies ignite
you and I
you and I
should have felt the earths collide
consumed men will have no other lovers
(steadfast, they persevere alone)
their lost causes find no other homes
(no haven, none left at all)
the last star will not shine forever
(the last light this long night will know)
collapsed, it becomes the next black hole

Cambodian Godchild

this spawn of the gods
you condemn to the blade
pulled from the hull
of a steel bird of prey
taken back, from the flames
the widow may fall,
no fear will he hold
thought you spit in his face
and show him your honor
with stones from the earth
they are the outcast ones
forgotten sons of old
left to die in the waste
for what Their eyes behold
so I've been told
so I've been told
the darkness awaits
and the godchild is last
his voice is one
but hear how it roars
your lungs would split,
you would taste blood
one final oath
remains to be sworn
this head will not bow
these knees will not bend
until the moon's arms
can capture the sun
they are the outcast ones
forgotten sons of old
left to die in the waste
for what Their eyes behold
so I've been told
so I've been told

Machete

swimming up the river but there's blood in the water
I found a river boat captain crying over his daughter
mean muchachos came, slaver scum he explained
I'm gonna lay 'em low, lay 'em low, using my blade
it's my machete!
that cuts the bastards down
it's my machete!
that put 'em in the ground
running through the jungle, looking for a little action
tracking down banditos on behalf of the captain
gonna hunt them down, gonna make them pay
I'm gonna lay 'em low, lay 'em low, using my blade
it's my machete!
that cuts the bastards down
it's my machete!
that put 'em in the ground
it's my machete!
that cuts the bastards down
it's my machete!
that put 'em in the ground

night falls as I enter hell
this haunted fortress where evil dwells
you will not find a more wretched hive
of scum, and villainy
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear
spotlights search through the maze
of twisted bones that our hands once made
escape the hounds onto higher ground
where my trail will not be found
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear
your chase is in vain
the girl has been sold
the buyer, unnamed
give up and go home
FUCK THAT!!
snakes and swine, are all I see
no guts, no spines, no loyalties
taste my steel, my enmity
six to one, but I'm worth three
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear
as the daylight fades, the forest clears
skeletons, made of steel appear

Dolphin Smasher

light the fuse
on your war against the world, little girl
let it burn
til there's no one left to love
draw the shade,
so that no one has to see, you're alone
like you said,
you can do this on your own
I see a ceiling full of stars
constellations slowly form, in the dark
but it's just a memory
one among a hundred more, that still remain
I'm lying awake, no sleep tonight
I'm dying to know your reasons why
maybe I misunderstood?
did you give this all you could?
were you scared to try?
there's a taste left on my tongue
from the lips that I once kissed, that I once missed
what could I have said to make
any difference in the end? what could have been
I'm lying awake, no sleep tonight
I'm dying to know your reasons why
maybe I misunderstood?
did you give this all you could?
were you scared to try?

this hole
I have dug for myself
is cold
this was all I had
this hole
I have dug for myself
is cold
I have nowhere to turn
anymore
your gold
left in trust for this son
is gone
this was all I had
your gold
left in trust for this son
is gone
I have nowhere to turn
anymore
escape!
take back what is yours
keep your faith,
your time has not come
escape!
take back what is yours
keep your faith,
your time has not come
