12 months

Working hard at school: rolling with the blows
Getting great marks and seeing cool bands
And spending time with good friends – It’s all grand
So where the hell did those happy days go?
Somewhere along the way I got lazy
I wasn’t putting enough effort in
Away from the real world I started drifting
Now all is quiet – My friends don’t call me
Everything used to be going so well
So where did it all start to go so wrong?
Gone is the strong stride: Now stumbling along
It’s amazing to see how far I fell

In those twelve months everything turned around
My past life is gone – Never to return.

Destiny

I’ve seen oceans turn into desert sand
I’ve seen great machines turn red with rust
I’ve seen whole kingdoms crumble into dust
Can’t recall the last time I’d grasped a hand
Once upon a time, the light I did see
I got a taste for it. Now I want more
So I’ve been hammering on every door
But nobody wants to listen to me
Thus, it’s been a while since I felt this way
It’s been a while since I felt this fulfilled.
Your presence may, or may not, be Gods will
But no matter, it is with you I’ll stay

I’ve been waiting a long time for this
To taste the lips of another in a kiss

The princess

In a place so far away, in a room
She sits, casting her gaze out the window
As she ties her hair in a satin bow
Her beauty is bathed in the light of the moon
Her lips are as red as a new born rose
And her eyes sparkle with the deepest green
Her voice is like a song from a sweet dream
And in a waterfall her blonde hair flows
Her soft skin is like the purest of cream
Her fingers possess the gentlest touch
And her gorgeous smile can say so much
But not everything is as it would seem

There are many things life doesn’t allow
I used to hold her hand but I don’t now

Don't walk out on me

If you plunge into the depths of despair
I will be there to catch you when you fall
You say that you’re alone: That no one cares
But my love will come to you should you call
Should the skies rumble and crack with thunder
I will keep you within my loving arms
Should the pain tear your pure heart asunder
I swear to keep you safe from any harm
And should you think the whole world’s against you
No force on earth shall stop my from running
Do not panic. My devotion is true
Just hold on my love for I am coming

In return there’s a message you must send
Say I won’t be alone ever again.

The battle of Babylon

In a barren desert stands a city
Surrounded by stone walls eight feet thick
It is a place where war wages and flames lick
Total chaos rule and blood runs freely
The defenders stand ready at the gates
But it’s the inevitable they delay
The old order is crumbling with each day
The defenders fight but damnation awaits
The forces of darkness knock at the door
With their sharp blades and their insanity
Even though they want to crush the city
They promise a salvation – Rich by the score

The city won’t stop fighting for its lord
Although it’s future isn’t well assured.
