One Stroke down
One Stoke across
The brandigs of Christ's Cross

Stroke comes down
-Remember man that  you Are dust-

The ashes crumble to the floor
The blood drops to the ground,
take this pain, I give to you
My anguish and suffering,
My offering unto you
Feel the lashings of the whip
The thorns placed upon your crown
absorb the pain of giving in,
Into the mortality of human sin

The stoke goes across

-Remember man that you are dust and unto dust

you Shall-

The last of the ashes fall to the ground
the blood can give no more
Peace and healing come to be
As the words are spoken as a creed
the promise of God's forgiveness
Consecrated in his blood,
His sacrifice brings fire to the world
Creating new ashes from our souls

-Remember man that you Are dust and to dust

you shall return-

One Stroke down
One Stroke across
The brandings of Christ's cross.

Stand by the ocean tide
in the darkness the tears hide
screaming as loud as you want
knowing no ones there but the ones that haunt
wishing for love; wishing pain no more
but nothings responding, only the pulse of the shore
emotions turn and twist inside of you
but along with the sadness is anger too
collapsing among your tongue you yell
you wish that if there is no love, then take me to hell
still, nothing responds or repeats
that only causes the anger to heat
no longer the kid you used to be
you shout and scream in emotional agony
after a time, you start to walk away from the sea
thinking of when you were 6, how happy you would be
but the past is the past
and love to you, no longer lasts
all is left is anger and sorrow
but maybe, perhaps, we'll get a response and find

love at out door
tomorrow....

waking up the next morning
only to see my heart still mourning
life never giving us the love we need
"love never did love me" shall now be our creed

I think i'm in love with a girl i don't even know,
a girl i will seek to find, and for my love to show.
That girl so beautiful, and as clear as day.
The girl that will tell me, "Do not leave, please stay."

That girl staring at the moonlight and not just the moon,
while i stare back at the stars she made blossom and bloom.
With her smiling face, she lights up the night, like a full bloom flower, but as the night passes by i miss her more and more each hour.

If I have hate in my heart, then there is a death inside
me that dies before it lives.
And I am the walking dead.
Evil makes the Devil pregnant.
And sinners drink of his milk.
We have seen the sacrifices.
We need not boldly ask for prices.
As if God comes first, after crisis.
Do we, who sin, know exactly who Christ is?

The Good for the Evil.
The Pure for the Dirty.
The Love for the Hatred
The Cure for the Worldly.

If I have love inside my heart,
then there is a life inside me that dies to
live again.
And I am the walking life that dies to live again.
I am forever lasting within.
Love gives the Devil abortions. And sinners die of malnutrition. His demons die of sinner's thirst.
Love makes the world a desert for satan.
Our faith is his hell. But, our hate gives him bottled water. And our sins give him overflowing rivers.
Our calamity is his shade. Let us confess our sins,
for confessions turn his rivers to dust; God's
forgiveness turns his waters to sand. Our thankfulness
hides his shade.
Let the Devil become dehydrated.
For with him, evil will surely perish.

What can i say?
I wish i could of been near you today
Everyday i'm made new
but my heart still aches to be next to you
To see the smile
that makes my heart go wild
The sweet embraces
that make my heart run a million miles

What can i say?
When i saw you go away
the shadow that was left behind
by the one who got away
The gentle tears that were shed
by a heart that cannot be mended

What I would say is...
Here is my heart
Please don't break it apart
I just want to make a fresh start
To become a new peice of art
To fill this hole
to stop the blood from running cold
The tormenting pain
that just won't go away
until i feel you embrace me once again....

Vacant hopes,
Faithless expectancies.
Things that i covet,
But will not receive.

Waiting emotively.
Gazing out windows.
Persuading myself
With a slight innuendo

I know that it's ended
But the trust still vestiges.
That soon you will miss me
But that hope soon leaves.

Because deep down,
I know you are gone.

After all my days,
of just lying around,
with nothing to do,
yet no time to spare,
I looked at myself in the mirror.
What i saw was a broken figure,
doomed to live in the shadows.
Who was i to challenge fate?
What's happened....happened,
there's nothing i can change.
but as i sat there, just staring at my

reflection,
it changed.
I saw love and hope,
peace and understanding,
i finally accepted my self for the way

i was.
I wasn't a figure doomed to make the

same mistake,
i was the person i was meant to be,
and i was meant to be me.
Lost in my reflection,
I saw a change in my expression,
a smile had creeped onto my face.
My mind was spinning,
so many thoughts,
so little time!
I had finally started to do what i was

meant to do,
i was learning to just live my life
and with that i left my reflection behind.
