Heeeyyyy. I know that song, Windancer. XD Nice.

~~~~

Shhhhhhh.
I know that face,
of slumber,
Peaceful grace.

Sleep now.
But never have I
seen't so solemn,
uninhabited.

I'm here.
It's as though it fled
so far beyond
my tread.

Lullaby.
And yet I know,
I'll catch up,
and no woe.

Shhhhhhh.
I know that face,
of heaven,
Celestial grace.

Forever, I am with you.

This is for my Social Studied project[immagration], although I am not done with it I am very pleased on how it turned out.

The flood, the rush and the silenced cries
Russians,
We fled from the world of old to the world of new,
The rich became the poor,
And the poor where still the poor,
The freedom of our people was gone,
The Orthodox Church was in ruin,
We fled to the better life of America in the mid 1800's,
Freedom fluttered in our dreams,
The stench of money filled our nostrils,
Would the streets really be paved with Gold?!
Would we become rick?!
We fled with excitement and fear.

Turning seas and darken steerage,
What kind of trip was this?
The dead where thrown over the side for the sharks to feast on,
The sick coughed and wheezed,
All where hungry and all where cramped,
Upon the darken seas our angle appeared; Angle Island,
But where was the grand Lady who welcomed us with open arms?
“She lives to the East,” one Russian whispered,
On the Island they watched us like a pack of dogs,
They pecked at our eyes and our throats,
We where the sheep and they where the wolf,
We waited to be pecked off one by one.

We where free,
Free to to what we want,
Free to hunt the hides of animals unknown to us,
But once we walked out of the Angle who held us,
Into the brighten world,
Our smiles turned to frowns,
The streets where not paved with gold,
The American's spoke in a strange language but we Russian's did not understand

Here's a new piece I just finished called Violent Descent. it was heavily inspired by Swedish metal bands such as Soilwork and In Flames

======================================
Violent Descent
======================================
Music By: Agony Of Fate
Lyrics By: C. Moore
======================================

Verse 1

A vicious spiral
Down into nothing
Fading into smoke
Nothing is clear now
Insanity's plague
Eviscerate the invisible
Embody the madness
Slowly destroying
The violence *****
So divine and vile

Verse 2

Since when did I
Ever have a choice
Since when did I
Ever have a chance
Since when did
This life have a meaning
Devouring these ****** lies
A life of defiance and sacrifice
Deceiving the absolute
And defying the insane

Bridge

Gradually defy the meaning of logical contemplation
Extorting the emptiness within, I embody the invisible insane,
Eviscerating the vile minds of a dictatorship under fire

(Chorus X1)

Courageous insanity
Follows me down
Into violent descent
Congratulations
I'm officially insane
****** lost
In the undertow
Of our forbidden lies

Waiting for something to show
Save me from this violent descent
Aiming for something to show
For being down so ****** low

Verse 3

You have no right
To use me as a scapegoat
I'm the endless nightmare
That plagues you now
I will not go through this again
Not alone, not again
You won't sell me out again
5000 miles later and I'm still lost
Never again, never alone

Verse 4

The insanity I follow
In these infinite times
The plague I've defied
In these times of insanity
I never redeemed myself
But I figured it out
That I was never right
Only lost in the webs
Of my deepest insanity

Bridge 1

Defy reality once again, The soul was lost in the quicksands of my lifelong lie
The man I was is long gone, I felt alone and now I'm lost in a sea of hatred and loss
The overload is so insane and I feel now the spiral is never going to end

(Chorus X1)

Courageous insanity
Follows me down
Into violent descent
Congratulations
I'm officially insane
****** lost
In the undertow
Of our forbidden lies

Waiting for something to show
Save me from this violent descent
Aiming for something to show
For being down so ****** low

Bridge

Gradually defy the meaning of logical contemplation
Extorting the emptiness within, I embody the invisible insane,
Eviscerating the vile minds of a dictatorship under fire

(Chorus X1)

Courageous insanity
Follows me down
Into violent descent
Congratulations
I'm officially insane
****** lost
In the undertow
Of our forbidden lies

Outro x2

Waiting for something to show
Save me from this violent descent
Aiming for something to show
For being down so ****** low
Waiting for something to show
Save me from this violent descent
Aiming for something to show
For being down so ****** low

GOOOOO SONGS^^ but I think there is a lyric topic already this is poemsXD IU atm but thought I'd say lovely works you guys but ya need to recap of the prev poems yo^^

A new song for AoF's album "Ethereal Shades Of Grace" that was highly inspired by Adam D. and Jesse Leach's new project Times Of Grace. I am extremely proud of this one as I finally conquered this subject and did it in epic fashion. I have tried to write something like this for about 5 years now. and now I've finally done it!

======================================
In My Silent Sorrow
======================================
Music By: Agony Of Fate
Lyrics By: C. Moore
======================================

Verse 1

As the days pass
I've come to terms
That this world's lost
It's sense of balance
Dignity was once strong here
Now there's nothing
But apathy left here

Verse 2

Where's the spirit
We all once possessed
Back in the dark ages
Pride's become
Our lone destructive
Living so blindly
Our rapture our decline
Cast away from grace

Bridge

Broken by pride and enshrouded in constant sorrow
Apathy and enraged arrogance our one true enemy, has killed us again
We beg for our father's mercy, hoping for one last reprieve

(Chorus x1)

In these dark times
The end is inherent
Lost in the undertow
In my silent sorrow
Buried in constant darkness
I pray for forgiveness
Of my nation's actions
I still hold hope high
Even for the hopeless
That the world's arrogance
Hasn't killed us all again

Verse 3

The new dark ages
Buried in regrets
And constant sorrow
Counting the cost
Of our untamed ignorance
Nothing left now
Of this decrepit hymn
We've overturned

Verse 4

Loss has been
Our one weakness
Love isn't there now
Only despair and apathy
For our callous actions
Please god rest this soul
Forgive our arrogance
For we have failed you
Grant us one last try
To turn it all around

Bridge

Broken by pride and enshrouded in constant sorrow
Apathy and enraged arrogance our one true enemy, has killed us again
We beg for our father's mercy, hoping for one last reprieve

(Chorus x1)

In these dark times
The end is inherent
Lost in the undertow
In my silent sorrow
Buried in constant darkness
I pray for forgiveness
Of my nation's actions
I still hold hope high
Even for the hopeless
That the world's arrogance
Hasn't killed us all again

Bridge 2

A fine line between desperation
And pure depression we struggle to cope with these terms
The dark ages are upon us once again as we struggle to find reprieve
God rest our souls, god save us for we know not what we do.

In these dark times
The end is inherent
Lost in the undertow
In my silent sorrow
Buried in constant darkness
I pray for forgiveness
Of my nation's actions
I still hold hope high
Even for the hopeless
That the world's arrogance
Hasn't killed us all again

^ Wow Solaris, that's amazing! I'm so jealous xDD It really is beautiful!

d'ww thanks! I really appreciate the kind words.

Rise above the screams,
the anguished cries.

Rise above the sun,
that will never shine.
For this, my friends,
will be the end.

Light clashes with the dark,
shadows reign supreme.
But one last ray,
beams in front of me.

With it comes hope,
memories of what
have long since been lost.

I know, we can make one more stand,
rise above the devil's hand.

For someday, the sun will rise again.
Stars will dot the twilight sky.
Gentle breezes will blow once more,
if we just open the door.

Let in the light, let your might shine through.
The battle's lost, but the war's begun,
it's up to us to change.

Solaris: Wow I felt every feeling coming from that. You truly deserve every complement you get because to write something like that takes true soul.
Windancer: Your way of writing is great! I love your poems. You make even sad poems seem beautiful ^^

And here's one I wrote yesterday. I haven't written a poem in an extremely long time so...

Twist my stomach
Turn it in knots
Tangle and trap it
Until it gets caught

Fighting within
My brain, my whole being
Prying my skin
Something I can't see in

Lost between paths
My eyes fail in the dark
Fading away past
Attempt to carve in the bark

Does it make sense?
Does it work?
What is left,
What is it worth?

All that remains is a sad little friend
Who's journey keeps going
And has not an end

Is it fate that binds us?
The howl and the call?
The answers aren't coming
That's the truth in its fall.

~~

I also drew a stupid little drawing to go with it, but X3

Climbing up into the sky.
Somewhere up above the sun awaits.
Below is an endless abyss that I have struggled up through.
My clothes torn.
My face worn from the wind
Fingers bloodied from the climb
Sometimes I slip and the rocks cut deeper into my flesh.
Inside my spirit weakens.
It quivers and my heart pounds.
Whatever guides me or maybe it’s my stubbornness.
I grab ahold of an outcropping and pull myself up.
All the miles I have had to endure.
I know I am not alone on this climb.
Some give up and let themselves fall.
I have often had to stare into their eyes as they rush past me.
Those swirling depths filled with sadness.
Often they reach out to others.
But the hand is refused.
Then they are gone.
I have tried to grab their wrists as they fall past me.
Sometimes I am lucky and manage to get them back on the cliff and have them continue on.
And sometimes I cannot help but watch.
I can see sunlight through the clouds.
I reach out and feel the warmth.
I continue.
Who knows where this mountain will lead.
But I am just glad to still be here for the journey.
So many times I wanted to fall into the depths.
Just let the darkness claim me.
But every time I feel that way I see the faces of those who \have fallen and I continue to push.
Everything has to lead somewhere.
And I aim to find out.

Nice poems, Windy, Hunter, Ahura! :D

Here's one that I wrote as a journal entry in Composition class the other week:

_______

Pacing in the moonlight, and what do I see?
Tiny silver flakes falling down upon me.

To each it's own design,
as on the grass they do align,
swerving 'round my feet,
for each another it will meet.

In the wind some dance,
and others prance,
as from the sky they tumble,
causing startled eyes to stumble.

Their gentle touch,
though it's not much,
helps to make me smile,
for Mother Nature's simple gifts
make this walk worthwhile.

I could not say
the light of day
was never to return,
but the secret of the crystals
was one I longed to learn.

But could one ever capture the true beauty of the snow?
Or is the snowflake's secret one that we will never know?

I'm encircled and surrounded,
and by the splendor, I'm astounded.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
All the fluff that falls from heaven.
More and more that spin and swirl,
they're skyward, feathered pearls.

Alas, out here I cannot stay,
for soon would come the light of day
and chase this gift away.

Pacing in the moonlight, and what do I see?
A perfect winter world, now embracing me.

"In the wind some dance"...LOL! I immediatly thought of my username. XDDD
Username coincidence or not, it sounded really pretty, Natti. You gots the talent. ^-^

@Hunter: Aw, thanks! I really like your's too. You can tell they mean something to you.

@Ahura: Wow, that was really good.

-------

My heart pounds as shadows circle me.
Everything seems out of reach, so distant.
I feel so alone; where have you gone?
Your guidance, you love...why did it flee?

Tears splash against the ground,
No light enters the place, the prison.
Where are you? You aren't around,
You aren't around for me.

We used to be so close, so strong.
Our friendship lasted so long,
I hoped it would never end.
I guess I was wrong...'cause you're long gone.

You left me in the dust,
longing for the touch of your hand.
You left me behind,
I'm running in circles now.

I can't find the path I'm supposed to use,
My poor heart, has been abused,
Because of you.

Why did you leave? Why did you go?
Once so high, I've sunk too low.
Only you...only you can bring me back now.

Come back, reach out to me.
Help me back, from this twisted fantasy.
It can't be real, you can't have gone.

We...we were once so strong.

I could feel your love,
I knew your heart.
I was there for you but,
some things have to end before others start.

^ Loved that one, Windy! Very powerful and... poetic ^^

Same excellent work as always by everyone who's posted lately. and here's my newest piece guys.

======================================
We Still Remain
======================================
Music By: Agony Of Fate
Lyrics By: C. Moore
======================================

Verse 1

Words spoken in vain
Often mirror self regret
All the spite and hatred
Will kill us all so fast
You'll have no time
To react to the coming apocalypse
The future is dark
But only if you make it....

Verse 2

Swallow you pride man
Look inside man
Tell me what you see
From deep within
Nothing but a broken man
Left alone it seems
Come on, release it man
Let go of the spite inside
Cause nobody will if you won't

Bridge

Down with society's plagues and discord for $$$$$
We walk alone and when all else fails god shall see us through
Shattering these black skies and stopping the rains of despair
Now we run our own ****ing show here, nothing stands in our way

(Chorus x1)

We still remain
Shatter the illusion of integrity
We still remain
Sever the ties to the world
We still remain
Tear down these walls
That confine the masses
We still remain
Forever eternal we will win
This fight for life
For we still remain

Verse 3

Tighten the vise you hold
Till it breaks you man
A deathgrip on reality
A harsh realization
Strengthens these bonds
To forever rise above
Escape from within this temple
Of self destructive hate
Break the ****ing barricades
And bethrow reality
For eternal truth shall set you free

Verse 4

We rush in between the shadows
Of the insecure past
The scars you'll never know
The only ones
That hold any truth
Balance must be kept
In this place of darkness
We are not alone
Here we're all united as one
And I repeat we are one

(Chorus x2)

We still remain
Shatter the illusion of integrity
We still remain
Sever the ties to the world
We still remain
Tear down these walls
That confine the masses
We still remain
Forever eternal we will win
This fight for life
For we still remain

Bridge

Down with society's plagues and discord for $$$$$
We walk alone and when all else fails god shall see us through
Shattering these black skies and stopping the rains of despair
Now we run our own ****ing show here, nothing stands in our way

We still remain
Shatter the illusion of integrity
We still remain
Sever the ties to the world
We still remain
Tear down these walls
That confine the masses
We still remain
Forever eternal we will win
This fight for life

Just finished this piece. very pleased with it. definitely one of my more catchy ones for sure.

======================================
Was The Lifetime Worth The Guilt?
======================================
Music By: Agony Of Fate
Lyrics By: C. Moore
======================================

Verse 1

A life falling away
As the seasons change
Time becomes so unreal
Under constant strain
We try to make sense
Under pressure
Of the lives we're all living
Never realizing the facts
It's a hope we couldn't save

Verse 2

So much friction
A world so full of grief
Blurring the lines
Of sanity so distance
Yet so close it seems
We've lost our way
One last time we fall away
Corroded by our guilt
The bottom falls out
From us, and we fall forever
Into the bottomless pit
Of the uninviting afterlife

Bridge

Reaching out for some solid state of compassion
Some kind of reprieve from this soul corrosion

(Chorus x1)

Now ask yourself
Was the lifetime
Worth the oath?
Fading out with the tides
Was the lifetime
Worth it all?
Turn around
And deny it all
Was the lifetime worth...

Verse 3

Down the false hymns
Ascend above the flame
Of our last acid words
Burning so hard in the night
From birth it wasn't right
Time keeps marching on
And another tyrant falls
To the tirades of their dismay
Lost within the firestorm
Without any foundation
To build a clean slate on

Verse 4

Burned by the scriptures
Corroded by guilt
And blinded by pride
Written off a lost cause
Clarity is an illusion
Of a man broken by his ways
Can god tell me now
Where the line between
Reality and guilt begins...

Bridge

Reaching out for some solid state of compassion
Some kind of reprieve from this soul corrosion

(Chorus x1)

Now ask yourself
Was the lifetime
Worth the oath?
Fading out with the tides
Was the lifetime
Worth it all?
Turn around
And deny it all
Was the lifetime worth...

Bridge

Reaching out for some solid state of compassion
Some kind of reprieve from this soul corrosion
Save me from the modern plague of permanent mind corruption

(Chorus x1)

Now ask yourself
Was the lifetime
Worth the oath?
Fading out with the tides
Was the lifetime
Worth it all?
Turn around
And deny it all
Was the lifetime worth...
