We look at our next generation, taking for granted their struggles and their dues. But as we push them farther into desperation, cutting off their opportunity, and replacing it with fantasy driven slavery, we do not bring ourselves closer to a supposed so-called age of greatness, but instead, we bring ourselves closer to the brink of our own destruction. It it within the monotony of every day existence that the next generation of innovators and geniuses are being condemned, that they plot their rebellion, for we have created environments that turn their potentials into anguish, creating the sorrow that is pushing our salvation into the flame, and in the end is only feeding the fuel of our own demise.
A remastered single from my album Death Of An Angel, which is released through my independent music collective The Infidel Netwerk. Featuring music recorded between 2010-2011, this album is the third and final album in the Shadowalker trilogy, a series of albums I wrote between 2007-2011.
Released through The Infidel Netwerk musician, artist, and philosopher collective:

lyrics
Flickering, and smouldering
As they billow, threatening
To swallow those
Who expose, within a distance
We watch the buildings burn
The flames grow so high
But how could we know
They’d be so illuminating
To the shallow lives
I'm living in a dream of fire
A paradise of desire
Memories of an inferno
A tragedy, turned into a masterpiece
Were we always meant to immolate
We were always meant to burn away
It’s funny the way we twist our nostalgia
Our remnants of a great past
The way in which we castrate
As it lays bare in front of me now
This is the life I’ve lived
On the edge of a society
I barely recognize
As I cling on to my humanity
Raging against the chaos
The chaos of the law
On the fringe of insanity
Is this where I belong?
We were once so fierce,
But now we’re just sparks!
A dream of flames
A palace of danger
As the embers burn harder
I feel an eternal energy
Rushing through my veins
Releasing the pain!
What do I have to gain?
Except to be consumed!!!
I am the face, the face of the blaze
Let it flicker, twist, and burn
