"The Blackest Thoughts"

We've changed the way we live, we've changed the way we fought
Once proud to be Americans, now we've changed the way we thought.
Let's rewind the hands of time, and see the grandeurs of our past
As harsh truths of our world through the sands of an hourglass.

The church is growing tough...
It's the fifth century after Christ and the time for Rome is up.
It might seem so abrupt,
Cause Christianity ain't insanity according to most of us,
But it made life for the Romans rough.
Take my example of the way things worked:
Everything was okay at first,
When they embraced the words of Christ
And worshipped him in the place of church.
Many Romans found God and gave up their hateful surge
Yet were forced to fight in an army as war began to take its turn.
That's why today we learn from past events,
That the Roman's died from bad defense
Against Christian morals infiltrating the army's brashest men.
Cause the tragic end,
Wasn't caused by barbaric tribes crashin' in.
You just can't defend a country with an army full of pacifists...

I haven't been to church in years...
A corrupt institution, built on a foundation of dirt and tears.
The hurt is here, skyrocketed to the forefront by the worst of fears:
ETERNAL DAMNATION!
For those that have cursed their peers.
It surely is fate,
That when our hearse is near
We quickly repent, to secure a seat within the pearliest gates.
Much like the girly King James,
A homosexual "queen of a king", that flirted with gays
Yet preached the word of God,
And even translated it to its version today.
That's why it hurts to me say that God's word is a shame.
But honestly, imagine yourself as the opposition.
How can we believe that it's not fictitious?
When it's coming from the epitome of contradiction,
In the form of a homosexual preaching God's rendition...

And you know it's true...
When in Rome, we shall do as the Romans do.
But this ain't Italy, I'm trying to bring it close to you,
Show you that a rougher end is overdue,
That we ain't safe until our animal instincts have broken through.
When we go to war, we gotta show the proof
Torture, killing, punishment...
That's the only way we're bringing home the troops.
And I know it's hopeless too, that's why I'm sick of this...
You people put the protest in Protestant, with no idea what religion is.
How can we settle differences,
If people preach the scripture, then act against what a Christian is?
Keep attacking the government until the system ends,
Keep being the critic's friends,
But beware! You won't expect what you'll be witnessin'
When our nation falls, ending the greatest place you've all been livin' in.

We can't build a future on a foundation of past accomplishments,
But of course We the People are too arrogant to acknowledge this.
When the time of crisis comes and we're sitting so defenseless,
Don't crumble under the pressure of a bundle of broken wishes.

A government is only as strong as its people...

So turn back the hands of time and go formulate your own opinions
Cause we can only blame ourselves when our nation's hopes diminish...

My Teyeme Has Come

We as humans, are designed to fail
a train made to ride the rails
made from planks of wood, spikes and nails.
When people say you could die tomorrow
I laugh it off, fuck livin a life of sorrow
I'd like to say I'd die today
but have trouble actin like my time was borrowed
Teeth chatter, knees weaken..
free speach recieved to defeat my weak evenings
Repeat my day to day work to feed demons
tryin to need reasons to live with this cheap grievance
I had days of fuckin floozies.. boozin in my prime
it was suitable but ludacris no human is divine
I walked a tight rope with a beast chewin on the line
the truth is in my mind - in a beautiful design
days of hood rats -
can't look back the doctor says theres a tumor in my spine

I'm losin hair now - morphine is keepin me sane
depletin the pain....
easin my brain..
this seems inhumane, seekin Jesus needin to pray
but fuck that- I'm bald - not a human -
just an evil display that's seepin away
my family weeps as I bleed and decay
I'm not dead yet - just hangin on with a child's grip
my mom and my dad by my colostomy bags - where my bile drips
next to that my food tube - with water in a mild mix
bleeding on the floor, they can tell by the way the tile sticks
I don't need my family exposed to temper tantrums
but they said its just a growth I was copin with my chances
cancer spreads, but not as fast as the globe and its advancements
but my hope had been abondonded
like Moses after he wrote the Ten Commandments.

My mother - a wonderful woman, wouldn't wanna hurt the gal
she let this little human crawl out of her birth canal
and dad always stuck with her, like "she's worth it pal"
we finally talked for once - that was where we agreed
that no fucking parents should ever have to bury their seed
he wouldn't let me die - as if it was his decision to make
and for once in his life he'd be given a break
"just let me go pops, for my sickeness's sake"
still the fellas waitin for celebrations with ribbons and cake
so to dad and mom.. I'm sayin goodbye
and to other friends I've attained in my life
for every instance - theres a place and a time
but in this situation I'm just waitin to die.
They sit next to me with flowers "You need to fight the fear"
but in my eyes are tears, and hurt that shows my time is near
I don't need to explain my rights and wrongs to peasants
sing the righteous songs of heaven
but will this fight prolong the present?
to the pad I write this on - even despite the longest lessons
we'd all like to love acceptance
never saw the essance of the time -
but in death I learned that time is of the essance.
