Crusade

The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Christian Latin Church in the medieval period. The best known of these military expeditions are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to conquer Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Muslim rule. Beginning with the First Crusade, which resulted in the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, dozens of military campaigns were organised, providing a focal point of European history for centuries. Crusading declined rapidly after the 15th century. In 1095, Pope Urban II proclaimed the first expedition at the Council of Clermont. He encouraged military support for Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos and called for an armed pilgrimage to… more »

Watching the waves escape to find their ending
Standing above in expectation
Fighting the horror to acquaint with them

Passionate lights I've lit from precious moments
Only to dwindle to a headstone
How do the moments make you more a man

Life escapes before you know
Tell me what I have to show
My name is unknown
What good are deeds when in the end you're alone

I gave all I am
No parades and no symphonies
To see a smile was worth the while for me
I healed souls that bleed
I fought all my days
While my comrades had fame
Contribution with no credit to my name
Well we all die the same

Why am I crying
Would it only take a taste
The music from below screams it's too late

I lived a million lives and still don't know me
This worthless prophet tells his fables
How does living make you more of a man

I've seen time
Have I wasted mine
What's worth mean before I die?

Days slipped away
Would fame have been a mistake
Surreal regret as I feel my conscience fading
I'm too numb to keep on waiting
Would fame have been a mistake
Given all to others only to be broken down

Anxiety grinding me
Doubled over hiding
The sorrow seethes consuming me
Feed my self-deriding
Knock me out, put me to sleep
No more pull tonight
End this

Twisted inside by the choice
We decide
All our lives
Why not end repetition
Imagine a world
With no imagining
Pain is volition
Seeking the void
So I avoid
Every fucking decision
The Final Decision to take me away
Take me to my grave

Pain slips away
When you suddenly kill your mistakes
My deeds were a lie
My meaning for dying, my willing to die

Why breathe air when the river's below
My last decision
All the the lights casting shadows that grow
Light creates my flight

Flying, I'm falling
What rush from the last of air
Hear all them calling
The famed and broken
Beggars and heirs
Freed from my ground
Terminal velocity is loud
Now my body and soul have found common ground

Given all away
Would fame have been a mistake
Surreal regret as I feel my conscience fading
Not much longer to be waiting
This may have been a mistake
Done with serving others only to be broken

Smashing into the void
Embrace the water's silence
Making my Final Choice
My peaceful sleep in violence

Feeling my lungs await their final ending
Questioning all my expectation my pain
Fought for the horror breathing water cold
All of my life I fought to keep them living
Only to bite the bullet by my envy
I'm trading nothing for my nothingness

I made a mistake
One of a million
The drowning makes me shake
I love and I hate them
I'm doubting why I came
I came here to leave them
Someone knows my name
But the wrong ones proclaimed it
Why am I dying
I've only needed peace and reason
The music of life cries
The water pulls me in
But my life has just began
I see now the depths of pain
I know now someone knows my name

Claw for life as I feel my conscience fading
There's no time to keep on waiting
Pain slips away
When I breathe life once again
A real regret to deny those I was saving
All my life is meant for saving

Resting upon the shore
I clear my lungs of anger
Open my eyes to more
Than living as a stranger
