Fenced Influence

Solemn souls seeking to collect up silver goods
Drunk with power cultivating the dark woods
Creating closed cultures and protecting them in fences
Locking out nature with unnatural defences

But when baby generations grow up looking through
The bars that surround them make it feel like a zoo
Restricted from experiencing realistic influence
Trapped by the fear of what's outside the fence

Choice

Choices come and choices go
Every time opportunity knocks
What could have been we'll never know
If timidly we wait and watch the clocks

But which will be the best decision
To make as the hours steadily roll
Slicing history like a surgeon's incision
And stepping towards a distant goal

Polarity

Magnetic attraction
An uncontrollable interaction
Pulling positioning
With ingrained conditioning

But it's found
When things get spun around
Conditions change
As situations are rearranged

Shepherd of Demons

Oh shepherd of demons, where do you lead
Your devilish flock on your tall black steed
Galloping about with hoofs aflame
Do the demons know your name
And do you know it

This town is filled with ghouls and wraiths
And zombies climbing from their graves
Ghosts that roam the streets at night
Making children hide in fright
Too scared to go out

But in the dead there is great power
For when the great clock tolls the hour
The dead will have no fear of death
As the delicately living gasp for breath
And try to hold it

But legions wandering about in pain
Will feel at once alive again
As those who've lived in light-headed bliss
All realize just what they've missed
Or that they've sold it

So I ask you shepherd, where do you lead
Your flock upon your flame hoofed steed
And what becomes of creatures in the night
When led towards the morning light
Will their eyes bear it

Will they stand to face the rising sun
Knowing a new day has begun
Knowing well that it is time
As the morning bell begins to chime
Their ears will hear it

But those who hide inside in fear
Do you think that they will hear
The ringing bell as rays of light
Melt away all the shadows of night
The dead were wearing

And your horse's hooves will burn more bright
As flames of red are turned to white
And the black cloak worn upon your shoulders
Replaced by radiance as to ash it smolders
In the light of morning

Misinformation

Insurance scam inflation
Over priced education
Community gentrification
Forced continual relocation
Covering any alligations
With mounting frustrations
Creating hopeless situations
On a merry-go-round of brainwashed nations
