He stood against 40,000 strong with just ten
The men at Fushimi knew this was their last night
The way of the warrior lived in those men
Escape they would not, no shame in their last fight
Born to take your life
Invaders pay the price
"The foundation of man’s duty as a man is in truth,
beyond this there is nothing to be said”
The way of the warrior,
man’s life and death
Fortune and calamity,
are in the fate of the times
No pride for a warrior,
who values his own life
How can a man show martial valor,
if he values his own life?
Hideyoshi’s men had chosen their course
Mototada knew it was his judgment day
Fushimi in flames there was no remorse
Forced into battle all life was stripped away
He laid down his life for the sake of his lord
And honored his family with the greatest sacrifice
He gave to his country all he could afford
His guts on the battlefield without thinking twice

You walk around with a scowl on your face,
like everyone near you is such a disgrace
You’re just so much better no one’s worth your time,
if someone approaches you turn on a dime
Your life is so God damn hard,
charging Starbucks to your credit card
You’ve never done society no good,
a corpse would do more than your life ever could
Get out of class now a step above,
tuition check signed by Mom with love
You stroll through life giving nothing back,
I wish you’d have a heart attack
You take for granted all that you’ve got,
and feel like life’s a vacant lot
But soon I’ll take just what you got,
and the world will prosper while you rot
No one needs you, or wants you by their side
You’re a waste to mankind, we asked for truth but you lied… you lied
Why are you on this earth – What for?
Don’t want you here with me – No More
You suffer you bitch you piss you moan,
You deserve to be alone
Your time is about to come – The end
A death by your own hand – Descend
There’s no hope now don’t wonder how,
Why don’t you kill yourself?
I look at you look down on me,
but what you are I’ll never be
You’re right to see the difference here,
but I’m the one you fear
In a perfect world you’d see it my way,
in a perfect world just decay
Learn to give up being what you’re not,
and forget all else that you’ve been taught
Only so much that I’ll allow,
get in Hell right now

The Last Noel

Twas the morning of Christmas,
and all through the hall
No shouts of glee,
no nothing at all
Up out of bed,
make my way to the tree
But to my surprise,
what did I see....
They're dead!
I'm only left to mourn
The bodies piled underneath the tree,
where presents should be
No life!
Decapitated each one
Heads rotting in a box laid out for me,
what a tragedy
Christmas colors everywhere,
green and red with red to spare
Try as I might to take it all in,
I just don't know where to begin
The arm on the mantle belonged to my brother,
my sister's foot used as a stocking stuffer
Down below the flames grow higher,
my mother's head feeding the fire
If only father could joke and laugh,
but woe is me he's cut in half
The mental trauma driven to madness,
no more tears forego the sadness
I head to the kitchen reach for a knife,
this massacre must be paid with life
Ready to act head for the door,
didn't know what I had in store....
I'm dead!
On a blood soaked floor
Rage blinding me to the one I could not see,
he’s killing me
But now!
There will be no revenge
Forcing me to take my last breath,
and meet my death
My story doesn't end inside the hearse,
I get buried and it gets worse
Brought down by the Devil for my last deed,
so I begged "Justice is all I need!"
Lucifer laughed and banished me,
to the depths of Hell for eternity
Stabbed and gutted and raped and maimed,
for thoughts in my head that couldn't be tamed
Was it Satan himself I met that day,
or a man who'd found insanity
My mind still wonders but I don't know,
these flames... the pain... ooohh!
Over and over I see his face,
the memory I cannot erase
If only this were just a dream,
but only I am left to scream....
They're dead!
