Battle Heart
By: Shawn Petrie (3-22-01)

Despair in the eyes of the angel
Hello, I am the one you need
To show, to lead, to push you forward
I am the one to slow the bleed

Fear in the heart of the enemy
Goodbye, you cry as you go
You run, you hide, you close the door
Never again are you willing to show

Pain in the souls of the children
Standing back, walls collide
The structure we built has began to wilt
And the arms are no longer open wide

Death on the lips of the world
The end, from the day it began
The planets in pain, this life is a game
Do we all do the best that we can?

I hear the cries as the war is lost
The souls torn apart and forgotten
I live this life from day to day
But my will to survive is now rotten

The expression on my face is lost
As I can no longer pay the cost
I know the rules, but who’s the boss
Into the fire my body I’ll toss

– Alone Another Night – By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-5-1999)

Alone another night
By: Shawn Petrie (5-5-1999)

I can’t stand the thought of coming home to this empty house
And I know you have plans to go out tonight
But I don’t want you to go so I put up this fight
Because baby I don’t want to be alone tonight

My heart is as empty as these empty halls
Which lead to empty rooms
Having you here would paint the walls with light
Don’t let me be alone tonight

I don’t want to lay my head down on that empty bed
With only your memory to make everything all right
And your not being here is proof I’m holding on too tight
But baby I don’t want to be alone tonight

I close my eyes, remember you and my heart hits the floor
I hate the way you left me here, but still the shining light
I beg and plead with you to stay and make things right
So for the first and last time, don’t let me be alone tonight

I don’t want to wake up, in the morning light alone
Go one more day, without seeing your face or holding you tight
The hope I have that you’ll come back, is stronger than the sun is bright
I just wish with all of my heart that you had stayed last night

– Denial: The Longest Winter – (Fan Reviews) (10-29-2015)

Denial: The Longest Winter (Fan Reviews)
From the upcoming album Hypnotized By Disguise

***** (FIVE STARS)
“THE RHYTHM IS SUPERB AND IT BLENDS PERFECTLY WITH THE SINGING, I COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.”
Comment Written 28-Oct-2015 by Frankie(n)

**** (FOUR STARS)
“I feel that this tune really has a lot of potential, it just needs to be put together the right way. A nice bass line will absolutely make a big difference to the whole project. A little re-verb on the drums as well, and maybe a voice that sings the second voice and not a dubbed one? The sound on this recording is nice and clear, and I wish you the very best on completing your album 🙂 Cheers.”

**** (FOUR STARS)
“Well that’s ironic, nice album concept. Good luck with the new album mate. The direction seems to be positive. Not much to critique since it’s not done yet. But the lyrics are straight and the string play is nice. The hand drum effect is creative and a nice fresh touch. Cheers”

“Interesting song concept. I am curious to see where you go with it. I like the intro with guitars and voice. The chord progression sounds good and the music seems well recorded.”

– A Fan Review – (10-28-2015)

“August Will Decay has such a very unique sound. His music style is simplistic yet it carries a powerful force with it that not many artists can produce nowadays. His lyrics are deep and meaningful and not just noise or cliches. His music is an expertly done expression of emotion that is very very dangerously lacking in today’s society. 10/10 would absolutely love to hear more.”

– Another Lesson – (4min16)

Another Lesson (4min16)
By: Shawn Petrie (10-11-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2005)

I had a vision
Or was it a dream
People in a place of light
With a warmth that healed my soul

I had a love
That I thought was real
I looked on the bright side
Another lesson learned

I had a hope
This time you had changed
That you’d care for me
As I always cared for you

I felt the loneliness
When you wouldn’t be there
When you turned you back on me
When I found that you lied to me

(Chorus)
I felt the pain in my heart and my soul
Washed over my body like the rain
I felt the deceit you couldn’t honor our friendship
wouldn’t change for me can’t even change for yourself

I felt the weight
Bearing down on my strength
Pushing me down
Beating my faith into the ground

I felt the anger
The pain of lies
Lies that were forgiven
But never acknowledged

I felt the distance
You brushed me off
As though you never cared
You proved to me that you never did

I felt the jealousy
Another man
Twisting my heart
Crushing my faith for you

(solo)

(chorus)
I felt the pain in my heart and my soul
Washed over my body like the rain
I felt the deceit you couldn’t honor our
friendship
wouldn’t change for me
Cant even change for yourself

I saw the truth
For once it shined on me
It was blinding and painful
A life of agony

I saw your eyes
I knew it was true
They told me who you really are
And that I never knew you

I had a vision
Or was it a dream
People that I grew to trust
Had let me down
When it was over
I knew the truth
I would never trust again
Another lesson learned

– One Wish – (2min53)

One Wish (2min53)
By: Shawn Petrie (10-11-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse 1)
My blood runs colder as
I wait for the end
And the feeling of emptiness
Takes over again
My tears run endlessly
In a circle of death
Kept in motion by
The time spent in the dark

(Chorus 1)
But, if I had one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

(Verse 2)
Then it wouldn’t be so hard
For me to wake up each day
Loose grip on the sands of time
As I slip away
When I’m inside my head
And I’m looking for the door
I’m finding out many things
I never knew before

(Chorus 2)
But, if I had one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

(Verse 3)
But I can’t forget
Or let go of regret
I still know this place so well
It may be the source of my hell
The truth is, I’m blind
And I cannot escape my mind
My life is spent wasted in this place
And my death will result in the end
