ETERNITIY'S ENDING

Free to wander now
I'm free
I plot this course
and turn to steal
Away with problems
and destinies
unwanted
or not clear to me
*
Free to scatter every seed
of doubt in flames
with devils dreams
that die with him
and die in me
*
Kings of Earth
no crown have thee
just a soul to search
and a past between
*
From the womb to the worm,
destiny's out of turns
*
and eternity's ending
*
It spills the sun into our sleep
It rains above the open fields
It takes our strength until we're weak
*
(It takes the best of us)
*
It fills the ship through every hole
It burns escape at every door
-takes the journey for us
there's no shore
*
(it takes the best of us)
*
(break/solo)
*
Do you Devil, dream of Death?
No fortune can reward your debt
alone among men, your hunger feeds
you drink, just to spit
not out of need
*
You wished for knowledge
but those who see
are helpless to change
what is fated to be
*
Not the Devil of your dreams?
Yet just the same,
your in the league
*
Kings of Earth
no crown have thee
just a soul to search
and a past between
*
From the womb to the worm,
destiny's out of turns
*
and eternity's ending
*
It spills the sun into our sleep
It rains above the open fields
It takes our strength until we're weak
*
(It takes the best of us)
*
It fills the ship through every hole
It burns escape at every door
-takes the journey for us
there's no shore
*
(it takes the best of us)
*
Do you Devil, dream of Death?

Do you Devil, dream of Death?

Do you Devil, dream of Death?

(repeat to fade)

ASHES TO DUST

The sun has come

and departed us,

winds of change

batter us,

-

Along our way

eternal strain,

the pain is gone

yet thoughts remain

-

The darkness has come on,

bid fond farewell,

to the creatures of night,

and mortal Hell

-

We live on,
We give on,
but it's not enough
Banners we stand,
Ashes to dust

-

Voices willl call you,

ignore what you hear,

find shelter in romance,

blanket the ear

-

We're not so young, that we don't understand,

who you are,

and what you command

-

The ministers calling,

no time to pretend,

that fate is not given,

and death is the end

-

We live on,
We give on,
but it's not enough,
Banners we stand,
Ashes to dust

-

Mountain's will crumble,

but it's not enough

-

Banners we stand

.

BOUNTY WITHOUT A NAME

Madmen on your trail

Your life is up for sale

-

None may know your tale

-

You see them everywhere

know them by the stare

-

Tremors in the air

-

Much to your acclaim

Your the renegade

A bounty without a name

-

Much to your surprise

it's your life or mine

and it's your time to die

-

Underneath the mask

shadows haunt your past

haunt you to the last

-

There will be an end

to your secret suffering

The ghosts that you attend

-

Much like you I see

The Dark Eventually

The dark for all must be

-

Much to your acclaim

Your the renegade

A bounty without a name

-

Much to your surprise

it's your life or mine

-

And it's your time to die...

LIFE ETERNAL

There's only moments

no bitter end

life goes on

and suffering

*

There's only motion

no calm or still

I can feel it coming

I know it will

*

Is it time to self-destruct?

Is it time to self-destruct?

Give it time

we'll self-destruct

Is it time to self-destruct?

*

Is it time to self-destruct?

Is it time to self-destruct?

Given time

we'll self- destruct

Is it time to self-destruct?

*

There's only notions

no absolutes

no solutions

nothing proved

*

There is no sustenance

no quarter for thirst

You can treat the sickness

but there is no cure

*

Is it time to self-destruct?

Is it time to self-destruct?

Give it time

we'll self-destruct

Is it time to self-destruct?

*

Is it time to self-destruct?

Is it time to self-destruct?

Given time

we'll self-destruct

Is it time to self destruct?

THE GRAVEWORMS

Why do we fear the flesh and hide our eyes

warm above the earth

in which they writhe

*

More like them it seems

each passing day

We can feel the light but cannot find our way

*

They will have their time out in the sun

'till then they'll hold the door for everyone

*

Take the meaning out of all these words

Make the world safe for the graveworms

*

The horror was an angel before death

The guru kills beneath the bladed grass

*

Just about the time I got ready to run

I saw myself inside a pine wood box

*

They will have their time out in the sun

'till then they'll hold the door for everyone

*

Take the meaning out of all these words

Make the world safe for the graveworms

*

SUNDAY'S ALWAYS DEAD

You always loved the poets
though you never understood them
in the fraction of an instance
the meaning leaves you for good then
*
I wish I had a yearbook
to frame your porcelain face
Planned a perfect rebellion
to make our escape
*
But you never really loved me
more than a friend
And friend somethings are forever
Sunday's always dead
*
No one stays at all
in this abandoned place
they only ask for directions
back to where they came
*
It's so unworthy
Who am I to say?
But since I am the author
this to you, I dedicate
*
A fraction of a turn or
the stitch from a thread
I might have been
other than
*
Now no one comes to the store
And no one walks in the streets
And no one laughs for anything
but humility and defeat
*
They think it's really cool
to watch the suffering dead
who haunt these streets with valentines
Sunday's always dead

*

Sunday's Always Dead Copyright 2000 David E. Arhar

STAY

Hold me once more
before you leave
I think you should know
what secrets keep
*
Close the door
it won't take long
to reveal the truth
denied you so long
*
Hold me once more
one last embrace
I'll show you all the things
words can't say
*
I'll show you everything
just close the door
Are we alone?
There's so much in store
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
Hold me once more
before I sleep
to wake again
where dreams hide
and seek
*
They've returned again
from the secret place
imprisoned no more
inside the mirrors face
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away

THE DOOMED ONES

Through the pitch black and a thousand suns
with our wheels on fire, shot from a gun
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Under the glow of the Devils Moon
We'll challenge the gods for the world to rule
*
Come into the night
take a ride with us
*
We're a spectrum of light that dwarfs The Sun
We're a cannon fire of bone and blood
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
The Doomed Ones
*

Through the pitch black and a thousand suns
with our wheels on fire, shot from a gun
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Under the glow of the Devils Moon
We'll challenge the gods for the world to rule
*
Come into the night
take a ride with us
*
We're a spectrum of light that dwarfs The Sun
We're a cannon fire of bone and blood
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
The Doomed Ones
*
Condemned to relive this constant tale
There's no escape for the damned today
*
We know we're ghosts inside our guts
to Hell and back
as I make my cut
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
The Doomed Ones

REMNANT

There's a shadow that seems to follow me,

a scar I can't erase,

like wounds through the skin of

some ancient armor,

I have worn with other names

AUTUMN ETERNAL

The death of the green has begun

our world moves away from the sun

and you may regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come

*

Oh, let me die in her arms

where frozen and fire can't harm

For this is the place I belong

*

Colors that burst and then burn

crumble and fall to the Earth

Winds that bellow the calm

crisp and cool on my arms

*

Born to the Winter I was

But die in the Autumn I will

And when my time is gone

I'll go into darkness fulfilled

*

The death of the green has begun

Our world moves away from the sun

and you ay regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come
