Staria ll: Desperado Undead

It seems to me, my heart
Just doesn't beat quite as hard, as it used to beat
Encased in brittle bones and wrapped in paper skin
Because I'm not quite as strong
As my intrepid songs make me out to be
And my persistent resilient resistance is wearing thin!

And I know!
If I'm gonna get through this, I gotta be
Stronger than I've ever been before
I gotta get the fuck up off the floor!
I throw a 1-2 LEFT RIGHT
BACK IN THE FIGHT!
Cause if one foot, never followed the other
I'd still be laying in the piss and shit and blood in the gutter
I could've killed myself, I've fuckin been through hell
I put my foot to the pavement and push

And I run!
Between these pages I'm free. (And I run!)
Locked in this room I can barely move and I'm desperate;
These days I can barely put together a sentence!

Fear behind my eyes
It's not the gun in my hand
It's not the fire in my lungs
That make me who I am

Head in my hands
Without the strength to stand, "oh, STARIA!"
If you could only see me now
Life's a bitch and that fuckin' bitch makes me sick!
BUT NOT AS SICK AS I MAKE MYSELF!

When day turns into night
And night to day and then repeat
And I'm so sick of this...
Bullshit... I'm tired...
Sublimate all the people's rage
Let's get one thing straight:
I'd fucking suffocate
All the kids in their cribs
'Fore I'd let them eat the shit
That ya force feed to millions daily
(stand down)
FUCK YOU!

TIME
BUT A FRACTION OF A FRACTION
A DECIMAL LOST IN SPACE
AND EVERY ACTION
HAS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION
LIKE THE LIVES THAT YA FUCKIN' WASTE

WE'LL BE REBUILT IN PAIN AND
SUFFERING BEYOND THE GATE FOR

I have seen the legions
That would stand before the crown in defiance
Of all your glories mortal stories prophecizing of the

HEROES THAT WOULD SAVE THEM FROM THE PERILS THAT AWAIT THEM WHILE THEIR

Lovers and planets torn asunder, under cover of night will our red flag fly?

I'm so sick and tired of having to take the high road
Tryna walk tall but they got me walking a tight rope!
Now let me show you how a STUNNER goes psycho!
And we'll see who's laughing then

BLACK MAGIC ALCHEMY
SUB-ATOMIC ANOMALIES
5th DIMENSIONAL PROPERTIES

ESOTERIC PHILOSOPHY
MESSIANIC AUTONOMY
ESCHATOLOGICAL PROPHECIES
CONSEQUENCES ARE LOST TO ME

I'm slipping into madness on the misdirected wings of sadness
All while violent things from vibrant dreams they usher me to dance with
Demons, on the parapet of vapid grace and graceful shit
An ugly place where pilgrims pray to God while burning witches at the stake

The architect saw fit to wreck. My intellect, well so be it
A dying mind, a waste of time. A brilliant man who paints his portrait black

I've taken you as far as I can lead you
The rest of the story belongs to you
These people will follow you
They will die for you
Speak to them from your heart
So that they may listen

Disconnected, vain, pretentious, sentient beings of earth
I stand before you now a harbinger of death and cold rebirth
I'm a pariah to my people, but a god among the worms
A vagabond a wanderer among the stars
We are all the Earths protectors in her beauty, and her splendor
I assure you that a war is coming that echoes without end
Between the bastards who would call themselves "the gods of Earth and men,"
And the warriors that stand on but a brink of an abyss into hell

You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk? MOTHERFUCKER!!

Cause if one foot, never followed the other
I'd still be laying in the piss and shit and blood in the gutter
I've fucking been through hell, but then I found myself
I put my foot to the pavement and push

And I run!
Between these pages I'm free!
And I don't know if I can make it through the night
Look to the stars
And rest your heavy head on mine
And look at all we left behind!

As we stand here, on the brink of an abyss
Staring straight into the depths of hell
I'll ask you old friends stand with me one last time
And raise up the colors high. We're going to war
[x2]

(NEVER SURENDER
THEY'RE TRYNA PUT ME SIX FEET UNDER!)

You called down the thunder
Now the wolf's at your door
With a setting sun and no where else to run
You're gonna get what's yours

So hush little baby and don't you cry
Everyone dies, but we can survive
I'll show you that death has a beautiful side
There's more to your life than waiting for the end!

At least it won't hurt now
And you've all made me so proud tonight
Don't cry for me no don't speak
Don't wake me from my sleep
Just let me dream I've gone home!

(Surely I'll bow to no one
Not even kings can hold me back
I'm tearing down these walls
Head first and never looking back

I stand for the weak and helpless
And one day we'll learn to rise
I'm taking back what's ours
I think it's about time that we shine!

I WON'T BE BROUGHT DOWN!

But I can't find my place, among the world!)

Raise up the colors high!
This is my color and I'll wear no other!
My eyes have seen beyond this world, beyond my dreams
Oo-Woah-oh-oh

And if I die tonight, will my memory shine bright?
Will it fade away into the timeline?
Looking back I left my blood on the track
We'll let the fans decide
[x4]

As we stand here, on the brink of an abyss
Staring straight into the depths of hell
I'll ask you old friends stand with me one last time
And raise up the colors high. We're going to war
