1. Flight from the Dark
Out of the dark, into the light
On winds of change begin the flight
Knowing wrong, knowing right
How it feels to be free
Ascending now, into a realm
Where few will stand, above the rest
Who die in shackles time and time again
I am not those men
One sees good, one sees evil
A simple world for simple people
But we're the ones, with an open mind
Reclusive though we are
One sees good, one sees evil
I'm now above the wretched gabble
Mind free, rise above
Flight from the Dark
2. Wrap the Flame as Twine
A shadow on the sand, away to foreign lands
Rides a man, tied in blood
To a vacant throne, to a second son
Who would be the one to take these reigns?
And when our sons ask
Of what will come to pass
Would be turn and run,
Or draw our blades and fight?
Wrap the flame as twine
Kingdoms will be thine
As one, in blood, in time
Fate will place us side by side
Wrap the flame as twine
Kingdoms will be mine
As one, in blood, in time
Fate will places us side by side
3. Montani Semper Liberi
In the morning I see the mountain mist
Rise into the sky
With the shades of green, on the forks of cheat
O' what these sites have come to mean
Secrets hidden in the rolling hills
For those awake, and those alive
For reasons most will never see
Mountaineers are always free
Through omniscient eyes, I've come to know
These appalachian rites
That need be lived to understand
Why I write these words
And no I'm not a native son
But this is home to me
A vision of the mountains in my memory
Montani semper Liberi
4. World Beyond the Waves
It was sometime long ago
We crossed the sea in coffin ships
This world beyond the waves
Was the future
And our stories will be different
And yet, should be known
As Americans,
How easily we forget
Ancestry and pride
Thrown to the side
Under the stars and stripes
Content with a life
Racist and white
Enforced by the hacks on the far left and right
Voice not our freedom to speak
They carry in hand, the racist brand
In the fear of the mob that comes in the night
In Silent Redemption, to do what is right
One day we all will be as one
One day we all can share
Our stories with pride
The blood that's inside
Without a target on our back
5. Whispers of the Muse
They came one day, bearing a cross
And with it came the storm
They came one day, bearing a book
And with it came the war
They came on day, bearing chains
Against their cause I swore
They came one day and we followed
If men are but animals
The dogs obey the master when he calls
While the wild wolves run free
With a lust for life
In the hearts of men, an iron will
Waiting to crush the false
Whispers spoken, whispers heard
Now we've learned, defiant we stand
In my heart, in my mind, in spirit
I am free
I've lived my life
And I can die in peace
Without your god I'm free
Now let me sleep
6. Hibernian Victory March
7. For Great Honor
The tales of those who came before
Men of legend, men of lore
Courses uncharted, the course is set
Ambition's debt, no regret
Times have changed, but honor remains
When finally the filth is brushed away
Hail to the men of yesterday
And the few still left today
8. Through the Pendular Mist
Through the woods the children walk
The hanging mist a maze
Where time is held in stasis
They choose but to abey
The pendular sway
As though the shroud would lift one day
Let the sleepers dream
Of things they'll never see
Lives they'll never lead
As I walk away and let it be
Blaze the trail ahead
You had the opportunity to be someone
How can we remember
Things we've never done
How can we succeed
If all we do is dream?
What is there to know
When our eyes are closed?
What is there to see
When the fog deceives?
Those who still remain
Never even tried
To change their own fate
To live their own life
It all began within the mist
Now we sit and reminisice
Things we never said
Lives we never led
