Light of Winter

Life is all it seems, amalgamation of shattered dreams
One man’s failure is another’s rise to fame
I have waited long, frozen steppes my home, relic of the past, in the time of chaos and war
In past life of mine, wasted precious time learning ancient spell in service to avarice of men
Then my work was shunned, exiled by the crown
dagger in like Brute, betrayed by the Council of fools.
Pre-Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder what have we left in this world
Sometimes I feel for those we left behind
Light of winter’s stars, the sighs of long forgotten souls
I have left that life to find what I was
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes I feel there's always something, that keeps me bound this land
And every time it’s always nothing, that changes motions of my fate

Glaciers and mountains of ice, within my mind
Darkness and frost that embodies me has separated me from the last of my guilt
To carry on, in silence,trudging through snow in the darkness
All I have is the withering hope that separates me from the wind and snow
Chorus:
Eternal winter, lakes they are frozen shut
I dream a life that i once had
Oh but the night comes to claim another
I will await till the time is right
Eternal is nothing not even the pain,
The scrutiny that flows within my veins
I will escape from this endless night or I will die trying
To carry on, in silence,trudging through snow in the darkness
All i have is the withering hope that separates me from the wind and snow
-Chorus

Metal Warmachine (live)
03:34

Metal never ruled the world but metal never died
Old and rusted thrash has felt but new blood kept it alive
Fr'isco, Oakland, Berkeley-heads
Listened to our riffs
But this newer generation, what the fuck is this?
Drowned out in pitch harmonics, wrong plays of diminished scales
Fucking poses, pig squeal noises, THIS IS NOT WHAT METAL IS
Chorus:
Riffs harsh as steel,
fast, angry, mean.
Unbound
It will not yield
This is for real
It is our creed
This is the Metal Warmachine.
Heart of motor breath of death,
With unrivaled speeds.
Tearing up while LA scene, was going pop and sweet.
Living fast and living loud, we don't need no Grammys
Left that garbage to posers caring for glory
Drowned out in squealy wammys, nothing but a ballad bore, whiny voices, spandex choices, THIS IS NOT WHAT METAL IS
-Chorus
Game has changed so have the rules, some don't even bother
But were not in it for the pay,
Just turn the music louder
New blood old blood it's still red, fueling what is real
Now raise your fists up to the air for the metal warmachine
Let loud the giant sounds, of fast guitars and pounding drums, bass line rumbling, singer shouting, This is what it's all about!
-Chorus

Kill the emus, kill them now
Kill the emus, Lewis guns
Kill the emus, there they
Shoot the emus, with our guns
Can’t shoot, they’re just too far
Kill the emus, kill them now
Kill the emus, with our gun
Kill the emus, here they are
Shoot the emus, with our guns
Oh shit the guns got jammed
Kill the emus, second try
Kill the emus further south
We need guns, on a truck
Chase the emu, in our trucks
The truck is too damn slow
Kill the emus, war goes on
Get the emus set a trap
Shoo the emu, to that barn
Kill the emus, no escape
They went around the fucking barn
-Chorus:
Emus coming from the hills
Flightless bird you cannot miss
Fighting on to stop the hordes
Emus coming for our homes
Bullets and feather are flying everywhere,
ricochet are going up high in the air,
sweat of my brow got in my face, I forgot my hat
Men are crying, emus aren't dying, I'm trying to eat my breakfast in peace now I spilled my tea
Damn you emus damn you to hell,
kill you and all your kin,
faster then Zulus in tropic rains, they’re just to fast
Now in wake of a failure state,
Laughing at us in our disgrace,
Time to pack our bags and guns,We must go home
Kill the emus, second war
Get the same guy, he was cool
Kill the emus, this time right
Kill the emus, with new guns
We go the firepower now
Kill the emus, many died
Many emus, three days flat
Killed the emus, now go home
Get a medal, and made new hats
Those hats are freaking cool
-Chorus

They say in life opportunity comes
Like a woman in search of love
She’ll treat you kind and she’ll treat you right
And in time she will mend your heart
But if you wait and if you doubt
Opportunity comes and goes
Like in the sky the luminous sun
It will slowly turn to dusk
Take up the mantle nobody but you
Its earned in this life not the next
The wheels of reality won’t spin for you
Without some dirt in your hand
And it will not change with a whim of your hand
Sitting in your fancy chair
The doors and new treasures won’t open for you
If you will just sit there and stare
They say in life opportunity comes
in a young man’s questing soul
It’s quick to jump and it’s quick to soar
On a wings of a righteous cause
But don’t be quick to lay it down
Opportunity owes no ties
One day a friend one day a foe
And the crossroads judge us all
Years have past, and still I wonder, where is the opportunity I was promised, as I searched every mountain in my sight
In books of wise men, and in stories of fools, I searched for the answers i knew not.
The scribe keeps record of every detail of our journey, and the huntsman sit there and sighs
“This land is lost” says the ferryman, as we cross the rapids “all you’ll find is ruins and snow”
They say in life opportunity comes in your sword raised high to the sky
No one but you can discover the truth and slay the giants of old
And don’t you let false prophets come and quench your majestic roar
You will break free, and you will sing...
All of life’s everlasting songs
