Are You Ready

 

Hey, Mr. Seeker Hold on to this advice

If you keep seeking you will find

Don't want to follow

Down roads been walked before

It's so hard to find unopened doors

Are you ready? Are you ready?

Hey, Mr. Hero Walking a thin, fine line

Under the microscope of life

Remember your roots, my friend

They're right down below

'Cause heroes come and heroes go

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Count down to the change in life that's soon to come

Your life has just begun

What If

 

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason

I've lost sense of time and all seasons

I feel I've been beaten down

By the words of men who have no grounds

I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom

When your ax has cut the roots that feed them

Forked tongues in bitter mouths

Can drive a man to bleed from inside out

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine

Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind

Human pride sings a vengeful song

Inspired by the times you've been walked on

My stage is shared by many millions

Who lift their hands up high because they feel this

We are one We are strong

The more you hold us down the more we press on

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind

'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life

So I'll just ask a question

What if?

What if your words could be judged like a crime?

Beautiful

She wears a coat of color

Loved by some, feared by others

She's immortalized in young men's eyes

###### she breeds in the eyes of brothers

Violent sons make bitter mothers

So close your eyes, here's your surprise

Beautiful is empty

Beautiful is free

Beautiful loves no one

Beautiful stripped me

In your mind she's your companion

Vile instincts often candid

Your regret is all that's left

She told me where I'm going

And it's far away from home

I think I'll go there on my own

[! DaReDeViL ! ™]

Say I

The dust has finally settled on the field of human clay

Just enough light has shown through

To tell the night from the day

We are incomplete and hollow

For our maker has gone away

Who is to blame?

We'll surely melt in the rain

Say I

The stillness is so lifeless with no spirit in your soul

Like children with no vision do exactly what they're told

Being led into the desert

For your strength will surely fade

Who is to blame?

We'll surely melt in the rain

Say I

Frantic, faction, focus

The world breathes

And out forms this misconception we call man

But I don't know him

No, I don't know him

Because he lies

Say I

Wrong Way

What makes you touch?

What makes you feel?

What makes you stop and smell the roses in an open field?

What makes you unclean?

Yeah, Yeah

What makes you laugh?

What makes you cry?

What makes our youth run

From the thought that we might die?

What makes you bleed?

Somebody told me the wrong way

What if I died?

What did I give?

I hope it was an answer so you might live

I hope I helped you live

I hope I helped you live

Somebody told me the wrong way

Faceless Man

I spent a day by the river

It was quiet and the wind stood still

I spent some time with nature

To remind me of all that's real

It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone

And remember that you feel

Again I stand against the Faceless Man

Now I saw a face on the water

It looked humble but willing to fight

I saw the will of a warrior

His yoke is easy and His burden is light

He looked me right in the eyes

Direct and concise to remind me

To always do what's right

Again I stand against the Faceless Man

'Cause if the face inside can't see the light

I know I'll have to walk alone

And if I walk alone to the other side

I know I might not make it home

Again I stand against the Faceless Man

Next time I see this face

I'll say I choose to live for always

So won't you come inside And never go away

[! DaReDeViL ! ™]

Never Die

Hands on a window pane

Watching some children laugh and play

They're running in circles

With candy canes and French braids

Inspired to question

What makes us grown-ups anyway?

Let's search for the moment

When youth betrayed itself to age

So let the children play Inside your heart always

And death you will defy

'Cause your youth will never die

In searching for substance

We're clouded by struggle's haze

Remember the meaning

Of playing out in the rain

We swim in the fountain

Of youth's timeless maze

If you drink the water

Your youth will never fade

Never die I won't let go of that youthful soul

Despite body and mind my youth will never die

With Arms Wide Open

Well I just heard the news today

It seems my life is going to change

I closed my eyes, begin to pray

Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready

To be the man I have to be

I'll take a breath, take her by my side

We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

Now everything has changed

I'll show you love

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

If I had just one wish

Only one demand

I hope he's not like me

I hope he understands

That he can take this life

And hold it by the hand

And he can greet the world

With arms wide open...

Higher

When dreaming I'm guided through another world

Time and time again

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep

'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape

From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me higher?

To the place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?

To the place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change

It helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same

The only difference is

To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Wash Away Those Years

She came calling

One early morning

She showed her crown of thorns

She whispered softly

To tell a story

About how she had been wronged

As she lay lifeless

He stole her innocence

And this is how she carried on

Well I guess she closed her eyes

And just imagined everything's alright

But she could not hide her tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

My anger's violent

But still I'm silent

When tragedy strikes at home

I know this decadence Is shared by millions

Remember you're not alone

For we have crossed many oceans

And we labor in between

In life there are many quotients

And I hope I find the mean

[! DaReDeViL ! ™]

Inside Us All

When I'm all alone

And no one else is there

Waiting by the phone

To remind me

I'm still here

When shadows paint the scenes

Where spotlights used to fall

And I'm left wondering

Is it really worth it all?

There's a peace inside us all

Let it be your friend

It will help you carry on In the end

There's a peace inside us all

Life can hold you down

When you're not looking up

Can't you hear the sound?

Hearts beating out loud

Although the names change

Inside we're all the same

Why can't we tear down these walls?

To show the scars we're covering

There's a peace

There's a peace inside us all

Let it be Oh, can't it be your friend?
