I got a gun

UNFURL ©Toppy,1998.
Freedom unfurls it's rotten banner
Smeared blood upon torn felt
To that standard fodder gather
Ready to play out another sacrificial scene

Enforced by tv's challenge
The lie will grow ever stronger
Now driven by concepts of justice
The truth is now concealed

Chained to the walls of an ancient future
Society lays abused by lust
Justified by thoughts and reasons
Our hope is a long time crushed

OVERKILL ©Toppy,1998.
What did you kill
Did it beg or did it pray
Did it even know
The importance of this day
Did it fear
Your power in the breach
Did it even let out
A last dying screech
Did it's blood
Stain your hands
Does it's spirit
Still roam the land
Blast it away
Slice it to bits
When the smoke clears
It just gives me the shits
To see such pain
And wanton sorrow
Spread across the threshold
Into tomorrow
Brings me to a place
Where only the dead weep
Mountains of corpses
Cover the eyes sweep
Touching form within deaths sad balance
Pulling shape from what you're not
Gaining strength from force of numbers
It'll make sure you pay for your lot

To Kill or Not To Kill ©Toppy,1998.
The dead lay in pools of blood
A testimony to life now spent
Surprised rage soaks into dirt
As the last of the bodies falls to the ground
Nobody is in there
All conscience has gone
Look around
And no life is to be found
The bullets are motionless
Their energy is spent
The guns are in silence
Their purpose is done
But still the question exists
Who has won?

Apocalypse ©Toppy,1998.
The end is here
It never left us
We held it to our heart
With our fear
And now it tears us apart

Raving II ©Toppy,1998.
I once killed a man
For that I hold the blame
I didn't warn him
I didn't even care
I just let him go marching
Off to his own demise
Am I guilty of what wasn't done
Am I the who conscience despises
I will not live to die
For my punishment is to live a death
So that they are one and the same
Bearing light into my mind
Pulling out teeth with rusty tongs
Deciding value was wrong for a while
Pulling on egos just so I can smile
Training dogs to lay with cats
Teaching kids to lay on their backs
Showing life is to be taken
And that dreams will never awaken
So hard to find good help these days
So sad that life's gone to the dogs
So mad that you've gone to pick it up
So glad I'm one to be won
So bad I'm that I'm whiter then black

Metal Coffin ©Toppy,1998.
I've got you in my sights
And I'm ready for a kill
Bearing down on you, so hard
My soul just feels the thrill
It's too late to look back
I'm coming to set things straight
Gonna blast you to pieces
And drive your soul beyond fate
Crushing, stomping, metal on metal
Inertia being pushed to it's limits
Heat building within the bodies guise
To late to doubt now I'm in the thick of it
Better lean back and let it rip
Better duck cause here comes all the shit
Thunder rolling around my back
But my senses tell me it's just flack
Fighting on endlessly
With my machine at my back
I now no longer care
I machine is man
Or man is machine
All I know
Is within my metal coffin
An immortal I shall be
