A Debt is Owed
06:16

He is ancient
High on his mountain
The gnarled watchman
All seeing eye
Speak all your wishes
He’ll grant you three
And let you play it out
But not for free
He rides
Down twisting road
Everyone waits but
no one knows
He rides
Down twisting road
Everyone cries because
A debt is owed
All have taken
The Ancient’s offer
Every new one
More than the other
Until the first
Had the least
And the strong
was the weak
On came a young man
Whose heart was true
Saw destruction
From the witches brew
Up the mountain
Through the snow
When he found him
He dealt a killing blow
Then he felt it within
The Ancient one was now him
And he felt it begin
Watched the lights below
With an evil grin
And
He rides
Down twisting road
Everyone waits but
no one knows
He rides
Down twisting road
Everyone cries because
a debt is owed
He is ancient
High on his mountain
The gnarled watchman
All seeing eye
Speak all your wishes
He’ll grant you three
And let you play it out
But not for free

Old Dogs

Felt a squeezing in my chest
Demon reaching for my last breath
Clutching my heart in his hands
Contemplating
Contemplating death
What should I do?
Something
What would it change?
Nothing
Who am I now?
Some dude
Why does it matter?
Well It don’t
And I won’t
See my mom
Won’t see my kin
Won’t see old dogs running to me
Won’t see my mom
Won’t see my kin
Just a black void nothing
Ad Infinitum
Tried to walk it off, cough it out
Beat my chest, I fell to the couch
Wife was scared, she called it in
I didn’t want to die, but I did
Didn’t see my mom
Didn’t see my kin
Just a black void nothing
Ad Infinitum

Shell of a Man

Nothing
I got nothing
Nowhere
Going nowhere
Something
Help me feel something
I fear its too late
And I’m already gone
Whats left of me?
The shell of the man that you see
Whats left of me?
The shell of a man
Shell of a man
Same thing
Repeating the same thing
Drifting
like I’m out at sea
Hoping
For something to come my way
release me
from my misery
Whats left of me
This shell of a man that you see
This shell of a man
Whats left of me
A shell of the man that you see
Whats left of me
This shell of a man
This shell of a man

Sunshine

Shallow rooted one
Wait for the rain to come
Whither in the sun
And follow
You follow
Sunshine on my cold dead eyes
Feels nice
Black Crowes eat the meat out my skull
And I sink below
Bitter taste in some
Pay no mind
All for what’s to come
Of the nothingness of time
Not so simple to live without it
When you need it to live
Sunshine on my cold dead eyes
Feels nice
Black Crowes eat the meat out my skull
Enticed
In this way its like traveling in time
Just might
A truth that soothes the mind
