riseagainstrocks

some of my bands lyrics. reviews welcome.
( we play a blend of music from Between The Buried And Me to The Black Dalia Murder to The Early November to My Chemical Romance)

(btw you'll see the term revolver romantic throughout some of my works. it was the nickname my girlfriend gave me the first show we saw together (MCR))

Antigone

The inflexible heart breaks first…

Before his jaws were sated with our blood all perished.

The long blade of the sun will descend on our bodies like the mist in the valley. We are but shadows and our hearts dust

Face to face in matchless rage
Sword to sword in night’s false promenade
Soul to soul in sightless age
Life to life without the day’s aid

Somewhere in the wilderness we found the shock of death in the joy of battle. Or maybe it’s reversed. We still feel nothing

They rose like a dragon behind him shouting war and he, the wild eagle, hurled insults against our carefully constructed walls.

I fell with a windy torch and struck the earth. Brothers in blood…alone however at the death. To thee to thee.


Handshake Heartbreak

So I guess my assassin is your savior
Spirit yourself away, I need no self-prescribed harlot.

This razorwire whirlwind will save me
Your hired hand is one with the dust

Inferno you cry and I only stare
To see is to feel only sorrow
Say I’ll help you

My fist will find that swollen grave you call a throat
My eyes will pierce that poorly woven cloak

And I shall end you in a hail of words and arrows
And you will cry out. As I did before


Mine Eyes Have Seen The Night And It’s Blinding Me

The weight of our decisions
Is now like a tomb
So oppressive and yet
Liberating

I’ll suffocate if only to see
What I have missed and hoped for in my own dark way
1 million crying souls clawing up at me


my heart, it swells with emotion
and finally know the meaning of
truelove
in all its forms and mysteries

sundials and turnstiles
keeping pace

my eyes have seen the night
they’ve seen the roses calling me
empty markers point to the future
and they’ll hold the only pen

my eyes have seen the night
and its blinding me

Revolver Romantic


Overcast and dimming light
The world it seems ends tonight
Kiss me before I forget,
what life feels like

Tree’s swayin’ and I’m prayin’
You’ll make it here
You might have to cut the ties that bind us
So sing it sweetly revolver romantic

Orchestra swells and rebellion quells
Say those dreams dear
Pray the spotlight won’t find us
Release our only chance revolver romantic

Revolver
Romantic
Your screaming
So frantic

Reload and start again


Silence (in such a way) That All Who Heard Shuddered

this seat so uncomfortable
speak to me
screech to me
i’d give anything to hear you

coerce faster
lets see
just how fast
death really goes

speed can’t change this destination
We’re already there

your skin is falling off
i’ve heard that it’s a sign of failure

who’s in the wrong here?
I’d give anything to hear you


The Copenhagen Campaign

So pull the ****ing trigger, and throw it all away
Return to your debauchery, scream you say
Push reset
And lets go back to the classroom in which
We met

Let me mix chemicals in your drink
Let me fix chemicals where you sleep
Scream to me…
Blasphemy…
And purposefully out house of memory alight
I’ve thrown you among flames
Only to save you again
I set that fir and I’ll walk back in

We are all safeguard sinners
We are all blueprint schematics
We are all deathwish winners
We are all revolver romantics


To End It All


My car crash serenade
Reaches hollow ears
Reverberation of a note so bitter that
the panes of glass surrounding my already scorched heart shatter
a billion mirrors reflect the unholy glow given off by malicious fire
we’re streaking towards the sound barrier with no seat belts to speak of
this is our disaster. Lets embrace it.
