Devastation Valentine



Sirens sang and mountains roared
Krakens rose in one accord 
Fate awakened on the run
Devil kissed the rising sun

Heroes stand on burning walls
Ghosts at war in flaming halls
Titan saviors facing sin
Kamikazi lose or win

Shaken, stirred, but doin' fine 
Head above the waterline
Toxic whipping wind divine
Devastation Valentine

Blind to where they're goin' now 
Bow to bones that fed the plow 
Fear has fled from men resigned
Father time cannot rewind

One more day to do or die
Calm the way of samurai
Power greater than the pain
Of child's play in acid rain

Shaken, stirred, but doin' fine 
Head above the waterline
Toxic whipping wind divine
Devastation Valentine

Overtime to cool a tomb
Pray the cherry blossoms bloom
Lives in trade 'til evils past
Bravery's greatest living cast

Ne'er a one a run away
Honor is the only play
Raise a pillar to the deed
Final gift to those in need

Shaken, stirred, but doin' fine 
Heads above the waterline
Toxic whipping wind divine
Devastation Valentine

Hollywood Roulette


Faded sun and rainbow lies
Halos turn to haunted eyes
Shadow days inside me rise 
Bullet in the gun

Empty soulless state of grace
All alone is everyplace
Silence raging into space
Bullet in the gun

Monster bound but bearing bite
Blinding stare devoid of light
Numb to fear of wrong or right
Bullet in the gun

Reach for me and hold me brother
Rip me from the darkness mother
Is there one who'd help another
Bullet in the gun

No one knows quite what I've seen
Haven't found a place to lean
 Mirrors face has lost it's sheen
Bullet in the gun

Hope no more my little man
Races ran without a plan
Leapt to fire from the pan
Bullet in the gun

Less One?
