1. From The Dirt
When I was alive I saw nothing but the sun,
In all it’s light it was never enough,
But it’s always there
No matter what I did,
I could never escape
Until that day, I thought it was a crush
Something small, that would never mean much
Soon to know,
I was born to be killed,
And buried in the dirt,
From which I will rise
From the dirt
I will rise
Through all forms of life
I will survive
Unable to die
What once was a curse
Was a life in disguise
What didn’t want, is now me key to life
But my life now, comes in more then one form
I spread my seed, in the dirt which I lie
And live multiple lives
Immortal I stand, Immune to all pain
I feed of the earth and some feed off of me
My stem rarely breaks, and I leave in the fall
But I’m always here, thanks to the sun god
From the dirt
I will rise
Through all forms of life
I will survive
Unable to die
What once was a curse
Was a life in disguise
2. Her Statue Still Stands
Always had her life on the line for us,
Not a thought on her mind, but that which to live
But everyone dies, and she will too
Now our town is safe and we owe it to her
Her time was short, but she spent it well
We were lucky to have her in our lives
She may be gone, but her statue stands
With a beam of light shining from her hands
Flying by the wings of a bird in air
Like a light shining down from the sun
Her power of life has been fed to us
And the land is in control
The statue now
In the center of our town
Gives confidence through out the land
And a chance to live once more
Power and victory, given to us
Are gifts for immortal life
Surrounding spirits that keep us from harm
Now we can live on with piece of the mind
Our children can grow and raise young of there own
With the stories of her past on though the times
Through generations we stand
For her pain we tread on though
Flying by the wings of a bird in air
Like a light shining down from the sun
Her power of life has been fed to us
And the land is in control
The statue now
In the center of our town
Gives confidence through out the land
And a chance to live once more
3. Fatal Blow
He was one of many inhabiting earth
L ive with a void to his name
H is ego and pride consumed his whole life
A lightweight that rose up to fame
The story is one of conceit and disdain
A being enshrouded by greed
A demise only he could accept to take blame
But a fight he would never concede
----------------------------------
Calm and unaided
With music as his blade
Although he'll be defeated
It's clear now that he is not afraid
----------------------------------
He stands there weilding only a note
W hile the enemy wields the same
Their eyes then lock, their spirits fuse
They know this is more than a game
----------------------------------
Calm and unaided
With music as his blade
Although he'll be defeated
It's clear now that he is not afraid
----------------------------------
The duel is on now, there's no turning back
The adrenaline starts to flow
He hasn't won, but he hasn't lost
His confidence starts to grow
Nothing will phase him until the end
There's no way he's giving in
The thought of losing is miles away
Determined only to win
----------------------------------
Calm and unaided
With music as his blade
Although he'll be defeated
It's clear now that he is not afraid
----------------------------------
A scream rips out across the land
There has been a defeat
The god has won, the satyr falls
Not believing how he could be beat
The battle he thought only he could have won
He lost to the foe that he faced
And although his thread of life has been undone
His memory will not be erased
4. Dionysus
