Benjamin Beak - BROOD

Please God show me a path
Writing my notes in the bath
Candles evoking the past
Phantoms and ghosts in the vast
Space floating they cast
shadows they spoke through the glass
Conjured up hope with a trace
No need to throw in the trash
All of the words that I've written
There is a message within 'em
But that's after I'm gone
Then it will all be forgiven
All of the pain that I suffered
Wipe away all my commitments
Made to a life of misleading myself
In thinking I've given
Something of worth to the world
Thoughts of a man that I could be
Hoping that you understood me

I spent twelve years of my life only making wrong decisions
Now it's time that I've risen
Up from the shackles that held me
There isn't nothing to tell me
I am the one who can help me
And that's the lonely truth
I've been too busy with leaves
I should begin at the roots
Hacking away at the self
Finding the way to the self
Even if nobody noticed
Was at my lowest of lowests
Now I smell roses and lotus

I'm done with that braggadocios
This ain't my magnum opus
My dream is way bigger that POTUS
Free all the new world slaves like Moses
Snap them out of hypnosis
Cut the heads off of cobras
Fuck your ulterior motives
Losing my temper
The axe forgets but the tree remembers
I'm from a branch that was severed
But never surrendered only dismembered
the game is Enders
Speaking from embers
I'll rise again like a phoenixes feathers
And bring love and victory like Venus's pleasures
I went to meet with 4 elders
And spoke of their fortune from tellers
Their is war that is coming
For the soul of this country
Time has tolled for the Coventry
The silenced, the scorned, and the hungry
You can believe this as credence
We'll rise up and will form an allegiance
And you could never defeat 'em
Many are legion
Nothing can stop a people that's only desire is freedom
What are you fighting for tell me there a better reason?

I'm the imperfect hero
Fly with the vultures and sparrow
I am the slave that broke loose from the chains of pharaohs
And led my people to freedom from demons with bow and arrows
Screaming my coded carols
Floating on logs and barrels
Crossed oceans of terrors
Washed away all despairs
To reach the promise we shared
But then a darkness ensnared
We lost our minds in the mists
Wandered for thousands of years
Martyrs of time as it ticked
Time is the greatest trial
The water will leak until you plug the cask with a spile
Only lasted a while
The collective vision was gone
Wallowed around like snails
Swallowed by whales like prawns
Expelled from belly's of beasts
Dwelled as sands in the reef
Awaiting tales of a dawn
The suns rises as you forget all that you've undergone
Born in the ether
Returns the primordial creature
Free from the prisons of past
Unto a new life is cast
Be free and ever last
