gospel of mok

A Poem by Shane Brooks
"

newest song really like the results lots of editing done to this piece

"
welcome to the future
these are dark days indeed
common place corruption
destruction and disease
 
welcome to the wasteland
where loves a forgotten name
here we worship the gun
and eagerly await the grave
 
it's just the nature of the beast
instincts seek the blood
to crush the weak
severed is the hand that holds me back
I satisfy my lust I soothe my wrath
 
promises are like silence
broken
for years you wallow in sorrow
a ray of hope long gone
never to return-
 
to  the primordial
the cycle ends to begin
the true face of evil
will be revealed in the end
 
In my mind I burn
our simple pleasures
the waning light
metal is made from stone
 
we will bleed for this
brave men have fell for there beliefs
cowards receive mercy for deceit
honesty has been met with punishment
I know the cost of regret
and what it means to be forgotten
to waste away
 
yeah
the past is past
the futures black
and it's coming on so fast
breakneck speed
the coming extinction
soon you may know
the lonesome feeling of being the last
of your kind-ness virtue
cease to exist
the fear of knowing
you'll be the next one to die in vain
the rain is soaking into her skin
the sounding of requiem
peircing
I'll be glad to see your last breathe
your beauty fade
give your ghost to me
 
fear manifests
when facing the unknown
when you see my secret heart
you will know
you will know the dark
 
so sing a song for the abandoned
light a fire for the forever lost
salve my soul for just a little while
defend against the frost
 
do you remember
when we were so close
do you remember
when this was our world

So this is a song huh? I'd listen to it. It flows nicely and has a specific theme which is always good. Nice work!

The word "Intense" comes to mind when i read your work, always. I could here the driving drums. I could feel the savage guitar take the lead. All directed by the powerful lyrics of the chaotic screamer. Excellent and powerful lines through out. When are you going to send me a damn t-shirt and CD ? Or did you forget who put that guitar in your hands ? LOL

severed is the hand that holds me back

you'll be the next one to die in vain

so sing a song for the abandoned
light a fire for the forever lost

These are just a few of my favorite lines. Awesome work !!!
