The Voice

I am the prophet
I've come to set them free
I came from nothing
A hopeless family
Disgraced name
Fruitless legacy
That changes today
Strike fear in all my enemies

You tried to test me
You told me I was nothing
I remember your gom jabbar
Now remember mine

I can kill with a word

With a word - with a word
I kill with just one word
With a word - with a word
I can kill - I will kill

My name is a killing word
You are on the killing floor
My people are ready to fight
You will reign no more

I can see the future
You aren't a part of it
I have bled for so long
Wondering if it was worth it
I never asked for this
But I will accept it no less
I cannot escape fate
You cannot escape death

You tried to test me
You told me I was nothing
I remember your gom jabbar
Now remember mine

I can kill with a word

With a word - with a word
I kill with just one word
With a word - with a word
I can kill - I will kill

My name is a killing word
You are on the killing floor
My people are ready to fight
You will reign no more

Be gone from this universe

Doubt me at your own peril
Judge me and prepare to be judged
Sling arrows and try to tear me down
Hurt me and prepare to be crushed

I kill with just one word

Watch Out

Watch out for the world
If they're not out to get you, they're out to get what's yours
If you don't stand, they'll have you on all fours
If you don't reach for the sky, you'll be cleaning floors
If you give all you have, they'll make you give more
Watch out for the world
If you trust a person they might steer you wrong
Your beliefs might have been false all along
The heroes you adore are dead and gone
And haunting melodies adorn all songs
Watch out for the world
There may just be a wrong to every right
There may just be a dark to every light
There may just be a day to every night
Victory and defeat in every fight
Watch out for the world
It's not an easy place to live, I know
We're running out of places we can go
Life is hard and sometimes painfully slow
But at least in reading this, you're not alone

Ready

I'm ready for your next overreaction
I'm ready to take the blame
I'm ready for another guilt trip
I'm ready to be the one who's shamed
I can't wait for your next line
I know you're gonna throw some poison darts
I'm so excited for your martyrdom
The Richter's needle may go off the charts

Anything that makes you feel better about you
You don't compromise or apologize, you just take until you're through
Just as long as you get the last motherfucking word
It just doesn't matter if anyone else gets hurt

I'm ready to fire back on you
I'm ready to unload the arsenal
You tried to get away with murder
You will find out that's not possible
If your telltale heart doesn't get you first
I promise you I'll complete the job
You won't be tapping at my door any longer
This is the last soul that you've robbed

Caravan

It's an overstatement
To say that we are so complacent
We wonder where our grace went
Oh, just kiss it goodbye
These nervous angels
Spreading wings across our tables
Willing to heal us, ready and able
But oh, afraid to fly

Do your thoughts stop you from breathing?
Do your eyes stop your believing?
Are you driven to move on, but scared of where your next step leads?
Take my hand and understand
Let us join our caravans
'Cause none of us know where we're going, but we know we have to leave

We must carry on
Yes we must carry on

You've spent so long fighting
No reprieve and no silver lining
The axe that you've been grinding
Never seemed to make the grade
These prideful devils
Always combating several
Swing the weapon and make some heads roll
It's time you trust your blade

Do your thoughts stop you from breathing?
Do your eyes stop your believing?
Are you driven to move on, but scared of where your next step leads?
Take my hand and understand
Let us join our caravans
'Cause none of us know where we're going, but we know we have to leave

We must carry on
Yes we must carry on

Join me, my brother, my sister
This time is ours
Take from me, you weary, you meek
My burden's thinned out
I've had all I'd ever need
Of the negativity
I do for my own and myself
I won't stop now

Follower Of Christ

I'd say I heard your voice as clear as day
But my days have not been so clear of late
My eyes burn like the soaring orange sun
Kept open by a tortuous glare of white
I almost died, and nobody was there
A day passed and I almost died again
I didn't hear a thing outside my fear
But I swear to all the gods I heard your voice
My heart is broken, quite literally
My body tries to burn itself alive
I stress about things I cannot control
Then I reward myself with acid baths
My blood thickens and runs slow in my veins
My broken heart beats faster than it should
I should have died two separate times that day
But I remembered the sound of your voice
I did what you'd have wanted me to do
But when I felt trapped I released myself
My life is in my hands, I am my own
The choices I make daily must be great
I cannot be so quick to light my anger
I cannot be stuck in throes of despair
I must not allow anyone's control
But most of all, I must forget your voice
I dedicated life solely to you
Remembered, reminisced and repentant
I wrote it all down just to tell to you
These stories and these stupid songs to share
You left me here to question everything
Alone and suffering, I faded fast
I'm taking back control, becoming one
I will forget your name, your ways, your voice
You cannot hurt me, you cannot touch me
You cannot break me, you will be denied
I will renew myself without your curse
And I'll forget your miserable name
I live, I breathe, I hope, I will survive
Relish the sacrifices I will make
I will love and cherish my own, and self
And I'll not once again recall your name
