SAILING IN THE DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN

     FLOATING UPON THE SEA OF ANGUISH

SILENT WINDS LEAVE MY SAILS UNDRAWN

     MISERY IS THE SHIP UPON WHICH I LANGUISH

TOSSED UPON THE WAVES OF DESPAIR

    SURROUNDED BY THE MISTS OF SORROW

CHILLED BY THE DAMP NIGHT AIR

    COVERING THE HORIZON CALLED TOMORROW

WOUNDS INSIDE DROWN HIDDEN STAINS

    FLOODING HEART FULL OF DOUBTS AND FEARS 

COURSING THROUGH THIS VALLEY OF VEINS

    RAGING UNRELEASED MY SALTY TEARS

BARING MY SOUL AGAINST A WORLD DYING

     SCREAMING MYSELF I HAVE FORGAVE             

BURNING LIGHTNING FLASHES IN MY EYES

    RAINING LIFE'S WATER UPON THE GRAVE

BREAKING UP STONE HEARTS GROUND

    TURNING A DEAD GARDENS SOIL

SLEEPING BODIES MAKE NO SOUND

    GRIEVING DEATH IS LIFE'S TURMOIL

PLANTED THE SEED MUST PERISH               

    REACHING THE STEM BREAKS GROUND               

STRETCHING TO SUNLIGHT IT DOES CHERISH               

    DIGGING ROOTS STURDY AND SOUND 

LIFTING BRANCHES TOWARD HEAVEN

    SPREADING DOWN THROUGHOUT THE DIRT

COVERING UNDEFILED BREADS LEAVEN

    SHOWING MAN HIS OWN HURT                                                       

The story so long told 

  Faithlessness you do hold  

Religion bought and sold  

 Past future to unfold  

Fire from the heavens rain 

 Stars fall numbering the slain 

Bodies cover the plain 

 Moon a blood red stain 

Hear the jackals call 

 Man insignificant and small 

Crumbling the cities fall 

 Tombs without a wall 

Demons spreading fear 

 Angels whisper in your ear 

Signs show the time is near  

 Lost what you hold dear 

Storm raging across the land 

 Killing first born in desert sand 

On the bloody trail i stand  

  The darkest hour at hand 

                                           SEAN PEVEY
