I Concur
by Dennis Scelza
Under suspicious eyes
I have disgraced myself
in front of everyone
for you
that cold and distant voice
that's telling me to trust
will never speak again
selfish ink runs down - never come to pass
selfish ink runs down the center of you and i
what's left of this beautiful, dying day...remains to be seen
all of these words will come crashing...rise from the ashes of regret
choking on the thoughts of our actions and
how this will...never be (x2) ..
stained in ink...my ego has surpassed
the one thing I'm longing for-my mistakes were scribed
but yours were outspoken
felt and heard...within me
a moment to make amends
or a moment in which to question?
I concur
I...I concur, no i...
no, never again - never again-never again
this heart not broken
just fucking absent

Unholy War
written by Kadava and Dennis Scelza
In these times of war
vendettas - unsettled scores
Believe the lies you are told
too blind to see the (truth unfold)
Unfold right before your eyes
As the bodies pile past the sky
crusades in foreign lands
troops march on blood soaked sand
Kill for god - blood soaked a bonus
retribution for our injustice
make them pay
Fuck the same ole' song
victim of a suicide bomb
21 and gone - all but lost in this modern vietnam
offer me to God soaked in blood
So many lives have gone and paved the way
for so much fucking pain
Enlightened gunfire sprays from all angles
unholy - forgotten
DUAL PRAYER: (Simultaneously delivered)This may be our last time, our last time to give up on our lives...Which one...which one will you fucking choose? Don't follow the sheperd.Take me home....take me away from this fucked up place, take me away take me away
Pray with blood
pray for death
pray for an end to this
(only the strong will survive)
so many innocent lives
so many innocent die
Violent prayers are answered, blood
Blood warm, warm with your rhetoric
cry out... as death drains the light from the sky
Don't follow the shepherd into the fire
Don't follow the shepherd into the flame

Americana
by Dennis Scelza
Notorious reputation but I won't lose sight of self.
This certainty will last forever. Once defined by our dedication... interrupted by our doubts.
Forewarn the soul of temptations carved within.
I will never see you - Not soon forgot.
I'm sorry that you've been gone so long.
Calloused heart, burn it out, Calloused heart...
I've lost all perspective since that day; this is the only way that I can tell you.
Try not to break what they want you to be,
a picture perfect mold of all the same "Americana".
Foreword: it will never be the same.
As we stood face to face with the world, our voices...united, spoke these words:
I'm sorry I am not what you want. It seems I'll never be exactly what you want.
My life has become worth more than this trust,
[I've now become that] picture perfect mold

All bets are off
By Kadava & Dennis Scelza
Why the fuck are you so afraid
of my mouth full of nails and blood?
dreams collapse they fall around you
not worth the skin you're in
As soon as we see you the slaugther begins
you versus our hatred lets see who wins
Why are the dreams that surround us caving in?
All of my life is just struggle and strife
to deal with the thing that's born within all of us: HATE
Born within all of us...
all the times I stood beside you all the times I stood beside
Your just a disease thats plaguing the scene
life's not a fashion show you know what I mean?
all of my life your kind makes me sick
why don't you go and just choke on my dick?
choke on your fucking lies (liar)
choke on it until you fucking die
I won't say a word
All bets are off:
Stay away this time, you'll stay away
It's for the best I promise
for you to watch the slow decline of our will
There is no truth...all bets are off
There is no truth, only sacrifice

What you have given: Part 1
written by Dennis Scelza and Kadava (Dennis Elia)
I've let sorrow take place of hope
You were the one who read my words
teaching me what strength is
You gave me strength in my darkest days
struggling to find my way.
How to deal with this robbery?
Another life robbed from me.
{Dscelz recites a poem from Sarah McCarthy}
{Kadava} I've tried to find some peace of mind
every time to leave this pain inside
on my knees my hands to the sky
I'm pleading, I'm pleading why
Why god, why...have I still survived?
Why have you died?
Leaving me behind - Jaded by all my memories
Force-feed all of my misery...
alone. Left me here to face this world alone without you by my side
I see your face every time I close my eyes
No escape from this nightmare
Every time, every time that I close my eyes
there's no escape.
Supposing someday I could let this go...
It would be my end;
takes away the one thing that defines me
In death will I be remembered?
Solace will never come
Will it come?
Why do I see your face, every time I close my eyes?
You'd stop at nothing to inspire...
I've tried to find some peace of mind
every time to leave this pain inside
on my knees my hands to the sky
I'm pleading, I'm pleading why
why...why, but we still die...
Although you've been taken
I've had your words with me
A chance to recall you;
your chance to live through me.
Your death plagues me.
Your death will not be forgot
I have changed indefinitely
Changing indefinitely
Renouncing the world that you loved...
I'll never alter whatever murdered you
but I aim to alter what's left here without you.
your death plagues me your death plagues me your death plagues me your death plagues me
