"I rock for the few chosen Who got they third minds open" Yeah, Yeah.. "I rock for the few chosen Who got they third minds open" Airborne, my force shrouded by cloudform The line ravaged in the wake of this groundwar The quintessential outlaw Eye of the storm: my tears fall in the torrential downpour: The flood. Your deathwish written in blood I came in from the cold, clothes drippin' with mud Grippin' the club. Primitive, a stig in the dump Swingin' a punch. The bad seed, pick of the bunch I drink black rain. Take another swig and I'm drunk, Taste venom on the tip of my tongue; my lips cold. Spittin' out toxins I couldnt dissolve, or with-hold I never sold my soul for fools gold. So I'm still free, But too numb to feel pity. Some broke down Now the steel-city’s a ghost town Snowflakes cover the ground in white carpets Seasons of espionage as time passes. The lion-hearted Survival of the hardest artist My open arms embrace darkness, Still craving carnage and infamy. But even parasites starve on this carcass of industry "In a b-boy stance, I'm in the smog, all alone..." You can see me as cynical, trapped in my own gothic vision. Encapsulating chaos in this composition Calculated, like the lies of a politition Gripping the slipshot, I size up the opposition I drop a match in the clouds and watch the flames rise Fire-water falling from these grey skies, To painted trainlines Chrome over redbrick, reflective: Like a gemstone in a sesspit Jehst gives belief to a skeptic The truth neglected like open wounds that turn septic, Infected by the forked toungue of a liar Now my thoughts are the color of fire And my nights spend one in the kaya Uninspired by the freak-show, I see ghosts dance in the trail of my weedsmoke My words are folklore... that survived the cold war: New World Order, and so forth... ---I go north, ankle deep in snowfall, leaping over dry stonewalls with a hold-all Steam clouds rise from my firey breath It's the last twilight before the silence of death...(death)(death) | |||
