Maison Perdue

Take me from this place I know,
Take me from the grip of pain,
Take me from this world of hate,
Take me back from hell's domain, 

Take me from this place I grieve,
Take me from the wrong I've done,
Take me from this land of shame,
Take me back where this begun, 

Take me from this place I fear,
Take me from the path I roam,
Take me from this world of doubt,
Take me back to see my home.

Verse #126

As this year's end draws into sight,
with it comes a fresh new light,
a time of change- to break new ground,
a chance to make a fresh new sound.

Noel Night

Snow and ice upon the ground,
Festive songs the only sound,
Signs of magic all around,
Christmas waiting to be found.

Stars are twinkling in the sky,
Laughter helps us all to fly,
Each one's spirit soaring high,
Christmas lives for you and I. 

Decorations shining bright,
Presents piled up out of sight,
Everything is good and right,
Christmas comes to us this night.

Verse #125

The day is drawing closer still,
Her elbows on the window sill,
Her nose pressed up to frozen glass,
Awaiting Santa's midnight pass.

Verse #124

Star above the snowy night,
Guide my path with clearer sight,
Let me travel safe this day,
Please follow me and light my way.

Verse #123

Touch my fragile face with care,
Lest it breaks into thin air,
Drenching you in frozen tears,
All the sorrow of my years.

Verse #122

See my skin so soft and white,
feel my touch as cold as night,
keep me safe out of the warm,
play with me and mould my form.

Verse #121

Drain my blood and leave me cold,
Let the darkness take it's hold,
Leave me here to find my fate,
Let my ending mark this date.

Verse #120

Turn a corner in your life,
Start a journey free from strife,
Make a difference for the best,
Find a way to stand the test.

Verse #119

Climb each mountain, cross each shore,
Search the world for something more,
Chart the skies, each cloud above,
No where could you find more love.

Verse #118

Just a moment, just a blink,
Just a second's time to think,
Just a whisper, just a thought,
Just a secret to be sought.

Verse #117

Mistake me not for what you knew,
Forsake me not for what I do,
Regret me not- I beg of you,
Forget me not- my love is true.

Verse #116

When darkness clouds your fragile mind,
When all the world rejects your kind,
When you are all that's left behind,
I will be there for you to find.

Verse #115

Forgive these childish things I do,
Remember all that we've been through,
Please feel the bond between us two,
With these three words I say to you.

Ab Origine

Five turrets guard my outer wall,
Defining that which makes me whole,
Illusion, Love, Faith, Truth, and Self,
The guardians that guide my soul,

An open palm to shield and wave,
Presenting me to foe and friend,
A hand of shadows from the void,
That speaks these verses that I send,

The pentagram encased within,
My mark of anonymity,
The emblem of my chosen name,
A symbol of my destiny.

Verse #114

Hear the words your heart will say,
Your wishes will come true today,
Make your mark and clear the way,
Start your life again today.

Verse #113

Speak your mind and show your heart,
Share your life and make a start,
Liberate your soul's true art,
Never let your love depart.

Verse #112

Take me down a peg or two,
Hold me down til this is through,
Break me down to keep me true,
Drag me down to be with you.

Verse #111

See the secrets in their eyes,
Find the truths behind their lies,
See their disguise in the light,
Find their true form in the night.

Nirvana

When you can glimpse eternity,
You'll view each step so earnestly,
You'll walk your path less urgently,
Your journey through mortality,

When you can grasp your destiny,
You'll see your life in clarity,
You'll look back at your history,
Your story of obscurity,

When you can reach true ecstasy,
You'll find all truth from fallacy,
You'll give in to insanity,
Your escape from humanity.

Verse #110

The day is here, the time is now,
The moment right to start anew,
The lights are up, the stage is set,
The cameras roll for me and you.

Verse #109

Ice upon my skin today,
Shielding me from you,
Fire in my heart today,
Cleansing me of you.

Verse #108

Drift away, my lovely friend,
Sleep away all aches and pains,
Dream away, my love I send,
Slip away as darkness reigns. 

Verse #107

See the puppets sing and dance,
Speaking in unbroken trance,
Moving to their master's beat,
Clothed to hide their shackled feet.

Verse #106

Sing a song for Africa- most magical of lands,
See the crimson shades of the blood within her sands,
Cry a tear for treachery at her own people's hands,
Give to her your heart as her glory still demands.

Hollyday

Though seldom do I see you,
And not often do we speak,

I always think about you,
Every day of every week,

There is a magic to you,
In the things you do and say,

And truly do I wish you,
A most glorious Birthday.

Verse #105

Here alone without the Sun,
All my dreams now come undone,
Wishing you had been the one,
In this web of life we've spun.

Verse #104

Tell me why and show me how,
Give me something I can do,
Hear me out right here and now,
Help me to be more like you.

Celegreat

Smiles and laughter all around,
Tales of glories past abound,
Friendships lost are soon re-found,
Honoured ones have long been crowned,

Hugs and cameras at the call,
Food and drink flow free for all,
Though the snow will surely fall,
Still the party must enthral,

Wine and lager take their toll,
Soon they homeward-bound must roll,
Though time has been beyond control,
Their spirits high can never fall.

Verse #103

Though life takes all I love from me,
And leaves me naught but misery,
I will not cave to what I see,
For this is not my destiny.

Verse #102

Smile on me, o' winter queen,
Clear my path and light my way,
Guide me through the ice and snow,
Let me come home safe today.

Verse #101

If you can share the pain of someone you've never met,
if you can spare a thought for all those who are without,
if you can stare into the depths of someone's heart,
then you will finally know what this life is all about.

Parting Ways

Farewell to you, my loving friend,
For all good times must have an end,
To bridge the gaps, all wounds to mend,
To you these words I truthfully send,

You've always been so kind and smart,
I've loved you from the very start,
Please keep me with you in your heart,
Remember me as I depart,

And as I take this next big leap,
Through all the hardships that I reap,
Your friendship is what I will keep,
To light my way through darkness deep.

Verse #100

Frozen here without you near,
Lost in dreams now so unclear,
Locked away within my fear,
Thoughts of you in every tear.

Verse #99

Search your soul for what you need,
Leave all thoughts of pain and greed,
Take a chance on one good deed,
Share your heart and you'll be freed.

Verse #98

Send me a message or drop me a line,
Just a few words to show that you're fine,
I'll be here waiting for you to be mine,
Together we'll make it- forever we'll shine.

Verse #97

Life is but a mystery,
born of ancient history,
often filled with misery,
mixed in with the ecstasy.

Verse #96

Give thanks for all you have received,
Forgive the times you've been deceived,
Join hands with all the ones you love,
Sing loud towards the stars above.

Verse #95

The day will come when all this ends,
Our loved ones gone and all our friends,
So cherish all you hold most dear,
Whatever happens keep them near.

Love Awaits

No clouds tonight- the sky so clear,
Standing here with no one near,
Dreaming of a future time,
Waiting for you to be mine,

No lamp to taint the dark of night,
Sitting here- no one in sight,
Hoping there is still a chance,
Waiting for our turn to dance,

No stars tonight- the moon alone,
Laying here all on my own,
Wishing there was more to this,
Waiting here for true-love's kiss.

Verse #94

Tell me what you want from me,
Show me what you want to see,
Give me one more chance to be,
Someone who could set you free.

Devolution

Falling out of nature's plan,
Creatures not worthy of sight,
Given more than they could need,
Seeking out another fight,

Crawling out across the world,
Creatures not worthy of speech,
Granted more than they deserve,
Grasping for what's out of reach,

Breaking out of every line,
Creatures not worthy of breath,
Gifted more than other beasts,
Racing on towards their death.

Realisee

Soldiers on the battlefield feel the end is near,
Openly they welcome it to show they have no fear,

Workers in a mining town know the risk is high,
Still they go back to their work without a tear to cry,

Homeless on the streets at night have little left to toast,
Yet each would say that luck and life are what they value most.

People running to and fro living out each day,
Very few know what they have until it goes away.

Lonescar

Walking here amongst the Damned,
Wings long stripped and turned to dust,
Left to fend and stand alone,
Silver skin long tinged with rust,

Walking down amongst the beast,
Staring up towards the sky,
Dreams of ancient memories,
Stolen from that place so high,

Walking here amongst the lost,
Fangs and claws long dulled with age,
Drowning in their blissful trance,
Fighting to control the rage.

Verse #93

Stars align for me today,
Sun shine on the words I say,
All the demons held at bay,
Let this battle go my way.

Verse #92

Seconds ticking down the time,
Eternal darkness now in sight,
Nothing left for us to do,
Daylight fading into night.

Verse #91

Darkness sweeping over me,
People swarming all about,
Voices screaming out to me,
Please release me, let me out.

Kageoni

I walk a path that none can see,
Just half of who I aught to be,
Apart from all so near to me,
Imprisoned by my destiny,

I walk a path that none can know,
Just following where I must go,
A glimpse is all that I can show,
Enslaved to wander to and fro,

I walk a path that none can flee,
Just watching all that I could be,
A shadow that no one can see,
This shade that is the real me.

Silencer

Tick,
the seconds passing by,

Lick,
his lips are feeling dry,

Crick,
his finger stiff with cold,

Click,
the shot is clean and bold,

Flick,
the gun is gone from sight,

Quick,
he fades into the night.

Broken

Don't hold back, it never helps,
Because we need a fresh new start,

Don't come back, it only hurts,
Because our song could never chart,

Don't look back, it never heals,
Because we're meant to be apart,

Don't think back, it only lies,
Because it cannot mend your heart.

Altum Videtur

What is love but the voice of our heart,
Barely a whisper yet muse of all art.

What is life but a shadow of dreams,
More than we want and yet less than it seems.

What is hope but a wish kept from view,
Something once lost that can never come true.

What is faith but the light of the soul,
Guiding us on as we strive for control.

Verse #90

This dream built out of memories,
That scream to me in melodies,
A stream of ancient mysteries,
That gleam the truth of heresies.

Verse #89

I am the master of my heart,
The progenitor of my art,
The Captain of my very soul,
Adrift on seas I can't control.

Verse #88

For all the gallant heroes lost,
For all the lives each war has cost,
For all the evil that we've done,
For all the battles still to come.

Verse #87

I find no race that can define me,
Hear no god that can command me,
See no war that could involve me,
Feel no hate for those not like me.

Verse #86

What makes a man more than his peer,
What keeps him strong throughout each year,
What helps him conquer every fear,
What brings him peace when death is near?

Verse #85

Show me music, love, and art,
Take this weight off of my heart,
Give this life another chance,
Take my hand and join the dance.

Verse #84

Glory watches over me,
Marking out each deed,
Stories will be told, you'll see,
As the years proceed.

Verse #83

Run away from all you know,
Leave this place of pain and woe,
Break away to something new,
Take a chance on me and you.

Verse #82

Take my hand and walk with me,
Share with me all that you see,
Mark each step with love in mind,
Leave the darkness far behind.

Verse #81

Trust; more precious than a rose,
Much more fragile than one knows,
For without trust we stand to fail,
Unless true love can still prevail.

Duality

Love is a heartache,
That will drive you insane,
But love is a shelter,
From the hatred and pain.

Hope is a struggle,
That will eat at your soul,
But hope is a lifeboat,
When you've lost all control.

Faith is a battle,
That will blind you to life,
But faith is the answer,
To all the world's strife.

Verse #80

The spirit world almost in sight,
The borders thin and weak tonight,
The darkness closes on the light,
The damned will walk again tonight.

Verse #79

Let these days forever last,
All the good and bad times past,
Keep them fresh within my mind,
Forever for my heart to find.

Verse #78

Sleep, betrayer of my mind,
All my darkest fears you find,
Brought to life, so real they seem,
Although I know 'tis but a dream.

Lovestruck

Love, the master of my soul,
Guide my hand and take control,
See in me all that you crave,
Ever shall I be your slave,

Love, the mistress of my heart,
Share with me your sacred art,
See in me all that is true,
Ever shall I follow you,

Love, the angel of my mind,
Keep the secrets that you find,
See in me all that you are,
Ever shall I wear your scar.

Verse #77

Show my heart which way to go,
For you are all the goodness that I know,
Guide my soul towards the light,
Please show me what is wrong from right.

Verse #76

This is all the life we lead,
this is all that there can be,
this is all that we deserve,
this is all we're meant to see.

Verse #75

The mornings come, the evenings go,
The hours spent with naught to show,
Each day a song stuck on repeat,
No end in sight for this defeat.

Verse #74

Hear the call and raise a cheer,
Show your heart and stay your fear,
March into this ancient fight,
Join the battle for what's right.

Verse #73

Little bundles of pure joy,
floppy ears and giant feet,
loving eyes and silky fur,
kisses ready when you meet.

Verse #72

These words, a gift to you my friend,
Across the oceans, I now send,
In hope you'll have a joyous day,
That all you wish will come your way.

Verse #71

Let them call us from our beds,
Tell us lies that fill our heads,
Make us fight for empty threats,
For they must live with their regrets.

Trusade

Heroes, we were born to be,
Seeking out our destiny,
Striving for a better life,
Free from pain, disease and strife,

Heroes, we were meant to be,
Known for all eternity,
Searching for what none have found,
All across this ancient ground,

Heroes, we could never be,
Slaves to our mortality,
Reaching for the stars in vain,
All our tears lost in the rain.

Verse #70

Pulsing not too far below,
flowing up above they go,
never within sight or sound,
knowing they are all around.

Verse #69

Keep close the ones you hold most dear,
remember those no longer here,
for both are always somewhere near,
to share your love and calm each fear.

Verse #68

Take my heart and paint it gray,
Tear my skin and let it fray,
Break my will and make me pray,
Scar my mind with all you say.

Verse #67

Desecrate your destiny,
Terminate your love to be,
Execute your soul to see,
Sacrifice your heart to me.

Hellspire

Angels ever follow us,
Daring us to sin,

Clouds will ever cover us,
When the rains begin,

Spirits ever wait for us,
Saving us a seat,

Night will come and go for us,
As the days repeat,

Demons ever follow us,
Seeing all we do,

Fires will take hold of us,
When all this is through.

Verse #66

hear me out to know the truth,
deep within despite my youth,
all the answers that you seek,
hidden in these words I speak

Man's Kind

Ants- we work in endless toil,
Hurried feet across the soil,
Stopping just to procreate,
Then once more unto our fate,

Rats- we all live underground,
Scurried thoughts and whispered sound,
Surfacing for work and play,
Then back down come night or day.

Birds- we flock to distant lands,
Fluttered wings across the sands,
Making nests we hope will last,
Soon forgotten in our past,

Men- we take all that we see,
Muttered claims of destiny,
Building what we cannot grow,
Destroying all we do not know.

Bloodline

Find me when I hide from truth,
Show me how to spend my youth,

Take me back to darker times,
Show me my ancestors' crimes,

Teach me how to hold the reins,
Show me what flows through these veins,

Give me all that I will need,
Show me how to keep the Creed.

Verse #65

peace is where we need to go,
hope is something all should know,
happiness should always grow,
love is all the world should show

Verse #64

speak your mind and share your heart,
make this day a brand new start,
seek the truth and show your love,
look towards the skies above.

Verse #63

Take the paper of my heart,
sign it with your lonely tears,
seal it with a loving kiss,
keep it for me through the years.

Stark Eye Night

Lights are dimmed in hallways dark,
But for a door marked "Thomas Stark",
A shadow steps up to the door,
One knock, two, and then one more,

"Come in, please", our hero cries,
In she comes, tears in her eyes,
"Help me, please! My baby's gone!"
"They said you'd help- that you're the one!"

Tom takes her in and sits her down,
A stunning girl despite her frown,
"Of course I'll help- I'm here for you-"
"Please tell me what I need to do!"

She smiles then- a sight to see,
Her hair like golden destiny,
"Oh, thank you! I'm so very glad!"
"She's run away- I feel so bad!"

Now Thomas looks on in a haze,
Confused and lost and in a daze,
"You're baby's run away?" he says,
"I've never heard of such a phrase!"

She laughs- a sound so sweet and light,
He watches her- each curve so right,
"Oh, silly me, I should have said-"
"I've lost my dog- right from her bed!"

So Thomas laughs- the story clear,
"Ah, now I see; and don't you fear!"
"When was it that you saw her last?"
"What is her name? we must move fast!"

Our lady stands and takes Tom's hand,
Her hands are soft- no wedding band,
"Her name is 'Sparkles', such a dear-"
"I saw her last two blocks from here!"

Young Thomas guides her to the door,
He grabs his coat from off the floor,
"We'll find her- don't you worry, miss!"
"and when we do, perhaps a kiss?"

Her blushing cheek caused Tom to smile,
On they went to search each mile,
No more than two or three roads gone,
They heard a bark from the next one,

"Sparkles? is that you my dear?"
"please come back home- I need you near!"
A massive mound of mammoth fur,
Came rushing at them in a blur,

"Is that your baby 'sparkles', love?"
"I hope it is... heavens above!"
As Sparkles ran towards them both,
Young Thomas took a solemn oath-

To stand his ground and be man,
As falling was not in his plan,
Yet when the dog had made a stop,
Both man and woman there did drop,

Yet both did laugh and cry with joy,
As Tom felt like a playground boy,
Then standing up, she took his arm,
and on they walked now safe from harm,

With Sparkles loyal at their side,
They returned safe and went inside,
And thus our hero won his prize,
While staring deep into love's eyes.

Verse #62

Here alone I wonder why,
all of life is earth or sky,
all we see is black or white,
all we feel is flee or fight.

Verse #61

And tho we ever travel far and wide,
forever will I follow at your side,
together will we stand and never hide,
forever will my love for you provide.

Infective

Creatures of angelic grace,
Hide their true demonic face,
Spreading out across the earth,
Further still with each new birth,

Soulless beasts with no remorse,
Parasites to each resource,
Taking what was never free,
Driven by a fallacy,

Insects lining up for death,
Drawing out their final breath,
Nature will regain her hold,
Once our bones have long gone cold.

Verse #60

Like sunshine on a cloudy day,
You warm my heart a special way,
Like shelter from torrential rain,
You're always there to keep me sane.

Nibiru

Years are racing in a daze,
Each step takes us further in,
Months are blurring in the haze,
Each breath draws another in,

Days are growing shorter still,
Each star dimming in the night,
Hours fading in the spill,
Each soul moving to the light,

Minutes wasted like a crime,
Each life that we hold so dear,
Seconds ticking down the time,
Each heart knows the end is near.

Verse #59

These words are trapped inside of me,
to see them is to set them free,
to free them is to write them here,
to write them is to shed a tear.

Verse #58

Far above the Earth they shine,
in the realm of the Divine,
guiding those they've left behind,
waiting there for us to find.

Words of Life

Now and then I wonder what,
Each race has fought to keep forgot,

Karma waits but always wins,
A punishment for all our sins,

Truth is we could fight no more,
United we could end all war,

Provided we can all be true,
Of this you must believe in too,

Else all of this is we surely damn,
These lives we live naught but a sham,

Redemption waiting at a glance,
Yet each of us must take this chance.

Hivemind

Words abound, my mind a-clutter,
Like a swarm, they buzz and flutter,

Catching each one as they land,
Holding them here in my hand,

Building chains to solve the maze,
Bound in ink to clear the haze,

Pages that I soon reveal,
All to tell you how I feel.

Verse #57

Chasing hours lost from sight,
tracing minutes in my plight,
facing seconds for the fight,
racing time to make this right.

Verse #56

my words show what is real to me,
my voice tells what is true to see,
my heart reveals my dreams to be,
my soul creates my destiny.

Verse #55

Give me your love and send me a sign,
something to tell me that you will be mine,
if I've been falsely convicted of crime,
show me the way to reach you in time.

True Love Deep

Tell me that all hope is gone,
Show me that I have no one,

Chain and lock my body here,
Torture me with hate and fear,

Break my mind to gain control,
Take my heart to reach my soul,

Though you may take all I feel,
Never will you make this real,

Safe beyond all mortal pain,
In the end this love will reign.

Shinigami

Pages turning in the breeze,
Names and dates written with ease,
Creatures not worthy of breath,
Each has chosen their own death,

Faces clear against the names,
Marking them for Satan's flames.
Spirits watch this work with greed,
Each line fills their ancient need,

Corrupted souls will come and go,
Mortals seldom see or know,
Angels walk the land as men,
Each one armed with sword and pen.

Verse #54

Tell me a story of dragons and knights,
show me the glory of wrongs become rights,
weave me a tale of adventure and love,
recount the lives of the Saints high above.

Verse #53

rise and shine your light today,
hone your skill and mind today,
hold and hide your tongue today,
build and share your love today.

Verse #52

another day with things to do,
another challenge to get through,
another place with sights to view,
another day to spend with you.

Contemfate

Sitting here I wonder how,
Looking over at you now,
All the goodness of our race,
Is mirrored in your lovely face.

Sitting here I wonder why,
Stretching out before my eye,
All the world is but a stage,
Of actors breathing hate and rage.

Sitting here I wonder when,
Hoping peace will come again,
All the lies that we have told,
Will save the lives that have been sold.

Sitting here I wonder what,
Thinking of all we've begot,
All our dark destructive past,
Has brought to bear on us at last.

Sitting here I wonder how,
Looking over at you now,
All the goodness of our race,
Is mirrored in your lovely face.

Sitting here I wonder why,
Stretching out before my eye,
All the world is but a stage,
Of actors breathing hate and rage.

Sitting here I wonder when,

Sitting here I wonder what,

Has brought to bear on us at last.

Verse #51

so I lay me down to sleep,
and pray the gods my soul to keep,
a shepherd here amongst the sheep,
a wanderer in darkness deep.

Verse #50

Walk the path of ancient souls,
feel the strength of sacred goals,
breathe the air of distant lands,
give your heart to these great sands.

Strigoi Vii

Wolves, we walk amongst the sheep,
Draped in smiles that hide our fangs,
Cloaked in manners and good deeds,
All to hide our hunger pangs,

Night, our home and natural realm,
Striving to be more than beast,
Keeping distance from the herd,
Deep in darkness where we feast,

Safe, we stay amongst our kin,
Sharing life with those who know,
Bonds that cross our mortal years,
Love that lasts and ever grows,

Truth, a dream we long to see,
Healing this most ancient scar,
Walking tall amongst the lambs,
Showing who we really are.

Terrortory

Running through this foreign land,
Sifting through the dust and sand,
Digging in a frenzied burst,
Nothing there to quench my thirst,

Tripping on the rock of doubt,
Ground is cracking all about,
Falling through the clouds of hope,
Grabbing for life's fraying rope,

Time is lost in blinding light,
Earth and sky lost from my sight,
Terror echoes through my scream,
In my bed, naught but a dream.

Verse #49

love me as I truly am,
keep me close and hold my hand,
nothing is all that I am,
without your love to help me stand.

Verse #48

Rest your head, my precious one,
all this pain will soon be gone,
all that has been said and done,
will vanish with the setting sun.

Verse #47

Give me wings so I can fly,
give me hope and let me try,
give me life to get me by,
give me love without a lie.

Verse #46

Life is more than work and play,
truth is more than what you say,
faith is more than when you pray,
love is more than just your way.

Succubus

Silhouette against the wall,
Crimson lips from shadows call,
Shapely curves and scented hair,
Lust and longing fill the air,

Angel kneeling down to me,
Demon aching to be free,
Glowing for the world to see,
Taking all the life from me,

Ecstasy beyond all measure,
Pain is equal to the pleasure,
Day to night- no sense of time,
Night to day- my world sublime,

Gone for all eternity,
Lost to all I used to be,
Trapped in immortality,
Deep in this depravity.

Verse #45

Make me something more today,
take my fear and doubt away,
let me make my point today,
help me find the words to say.

Faraway Friend

A tear for you, my distant friend,
The bond we share will never end,
One day, I know, we'll meet again,
Although I know not how or when.

A tear for you, my long-lost kin,
The years have left us in a spin,
One day, I know, we'll share our days,
And watch the sunset's fading rays.

A tear for you, my loving friend,
The pain we've felt will one day mend,
One day, I know, we'll reunite,
For this I pray with all my might.

Verse #44

step into the raging fire,
feel your tender skin perspire,
taste the heat of my desire,
give yourself to your new Sire.

Verse #43

The sun is up, the day is new,
the time is right for me and you,
to wipe the sleep out of our eyes,
and turn our gaze towards the skies.

Verse #42

Guide my hand and mind today,
guard my heart and soul today,
grant me love and luck today,
get me home and dry today

Verse #41

when will it end, when will it stop,
when will this mad world finally pop,
when will it ease, when will cease,
when will the strain at last release.

Cloudspeaker

Cloud above me,
shape my day,
Guide me on my chosen way,

Cloud above me,
shape my mind,
Keep me safe and all my kind,

Cloud above me,
shape my night,
Show me how to win the fight,

Cloud above me,
shape my life,
Ease my path and end my strife.

Verse #40

When I'm gone- I'm still with you,
always there right next to you,
holding hands and hearts entwined,
always there for you to find.

Dreadend

She lies upon these scattered sands,
As scarlet streams run down her hands,
Her memories blurred by distant lands,
As slowly, softly, drained she stands,

She stares out on this foreign scene,
No sign of life, nor hint of green,
A charred and broken land picked clean,
No place for her, once so serene,

She leaves a path of crimson trails,
In lines across this path of nails,
Her vision blurred by smokey sails,
In panic as her balance fails,

She lies upon these bloodied sands,
Too weak to raise or feel her hands,
Her memories cleared of other lands,
Too late to see what darkness plans.

Everthere

When I'm far- I'm still quite near,
always there to calm your fear,
linking arms and courage shared,
always there each time you're scared.

When I'm out- I'm still about,
always there to ease your doubt,
keeping close and giving hope,
always there to help you cope.

When I'm gone- I'm still with you,
always there right next to you,
holding hands and hearts entwined,
always there for you to find.

Verse #39

let them know you love them,
let them know you care,
let them know you need them,
let them know you're there.

Verse #38

take me, save me, let me be,
drop me, leave me, let me flee,
have me, hold me, help me see,
shake me, break me, set me free.

Obfuscate

The sound of silence in my ears,
A lonely crowd to hide my fears,
A bitter-sweet song in my throat,
A symphony of just one note.

The darkness bright within my mind,
An open secret none can find,
An endless dream cut short by sleep,
An ancient story none can keep.

The death that lives inside of me,
A chain that sets my spirit free,
A distant place so close at hand,
A paradise deep in the sand.

Verse #37

motions move me close to you,
oceans crossed to be with you,
emotions high when i'm with you,
devotion to my love for you.

Verse #36

Feel the sun upon your skin,
feel the light from deep within,
feel the new life we begin,
feel the love and share a grin.

Verse #35

Rest your head- my dearest friend,
the wars and battles all will end,
a new day starts our life anew,
a new sun rises just for you.

Verse #34

Time alone must some day end,
each of us will meet a friend,
someone on who we can depend,
a precious love we must defend.

Verse #33

Make a stand for who you are,
celebrate each bruise and scar,
each one shaped the world you see,
marking out your history.

Verse #32

Staring hard into the deep,
at the dark thoughts that I keep,
of the nightmares that here creep,
from that world in which I sleep.

Verse #31

Think of all the lovers lost,
think of all the friendships cost,
think of all the memories glossed,
think of all the lines we've crossed.

Verse #30

Cherish the moment,
and value the time,
treasure the love,
that is now yours and mine.

Teàrlag

Look into her deep brown eyes,
See the truth in her disguise,
Feel the warmth within her soul,
Give your heart to her control.

Search within her mind for doubt,
Find nothing but truth throughout,
Take her hand into your own,
Start a path to the unknown.

View the world through her dark eyes,
Seek her love and tell no lies,
Never leave nor travel far,
Share your world and all you are.

BraaiBQ

Gather round- dear friend and kin,
The day grows near- so close at hand,
A time of joy and love will reign,
Though nothing will go quite as planned.

Gather round and taste the wine,
The food piled high on tables set,
A time to laugh and sing along,
No pride to guard and no regret.

Gather round- dear special few,
The coals grow cold but not our hearts,
A time to share the glories past,
And dodge the rain that shortly starts.

Gather round for soon you'll go,
The day grows short and cold somehow,
A time to plan the next event,
And keep this moment here and now.

Verse #29

This is all there is to me,
this is all that I can be,
this is all there is to see,
this is all that sets me free.

Backstep

Step into this place of shame,
Pray your heart remains the same,
Lead the way through this dark game,
Leave the place that has no name.

Step into this void of pain,
Drench yourself in crimson rain,
Wash away this mortal stain,
Leave me here alone again.

Step out of this cloud of hate,
Hide yourself in tears of fate,
Walk the path from Heaven's gate,
Leave before it is too late.

Step out of this lofty place,
Feel the cold and open space,
Back amongst the human race,
Leave your soul to Heaven's grace.

Verse #28

Hold me, scold me, fold me down,
take me, break me, make me love,
feed me, seed me, bleed me dry,
take me, shake me, make me live.

Hawk Heart

Spread your wings and feed my soul,
Make my day and share this night,
Stay with me and make this right,
I'll be yours- forever true.

Fly to me and hold my heart,
Make me yours and bring me light,
Stay by me and ease my fright,
I'll be here awaiting you.

Soar with me and feel my love,
Make this real and give me flight,
Stay right here and share this sight,
I'll be yours- please be mine too?

Verse #27

Here we go again, my friends,
time to tie up all loose ends,
all your dreams are here at hand,
just waiting for your final stand.

Verse #26

something in the way you talk,
something in the way you walk,
something in the way you care,
something makes me stop and stare.

Truesight

Tell me what it is to see,
all that I wish that I could be,
more than my own short history,
all that is in my destiny.

Show me what it is to feel,
what I think can never heal,
more than I want to reveal,
all that which is far too real,

Give me what I need to learn,
all that for which I still yearn,
more than time can take in turn,
all that can stop my crash and burn,

Take me where I want to go,
far from all this to and fro,
more than my eyes can dare to show,
all that my soul can bear to know.

Verse #25

here i am alone once more,
no light to guide me to the shore,
adrift upon this stormy sea,
no one around to rescue me.

Escape

Lost in the music,
Lost in the feeling,
Lost on the path and finding no meaning,

Show me a sign,
Show me a light,
Show me a way with the ending in sight.

Gone from this place,
Gone from these lands,
Gone from the pain and the blood on my hands,

Safe in the memory,
Safe now it seems,
Safe from myself in the world of my dreams.

Nurture

Play me a tune and sing me a song,
Help me to learn so I can sing along,

Tell me a story that I can believe,
Something to comfort each time that you leave,

Show me the magic in all that we do,
Keep my heart safe and forever with you,

Take me out into the world that you know,
hold me and love me so that I can grow.

Darkstaff

This is the moment,
This is the end,
This is the break that we never will mend.

This is the minute,
This is the time,
This is the dream that will end in a crime.

This is the morning,
This is the way,
This is the god that will rule us today.

Lovestrong

How can I describe a world,
where you and I are not as one,
a place where we have never met,
a time when our love's not begun,

How can I describe a scene,
where you and I are not to be,
a place where we were lost to hope,
a time our souls could not be free,

How can I describe a hell,
where you and I are far apart,
a place where we are still alone,
a time before you healed my heart,

How can I describe a dream,
where you and I are one at last,
a place where we live happily,
a time where love reshapes the past.

Verse #24

Hold my heart,
and make me whole,
share my love,
and save my soul.

Verse #23

Clouds of day and stars of night,
shades of life and points of light,
thoughts of love and dreams of flight,
signs of hope and peace in sight.

Freedominate

These voices deep within my mind,
Hide treasure that no map can find,
A secret quest my heart must seek,
In silent words their voices speak.

This guiding light upon my soul,
Reveals a life in their control,
A chain that lets me think I'm free,
So far from where I want to be.

These hands that keep my heart at bay,
Protect it from attempts to stray,
These claws that tear my flesh away,
Remind me of their hold each day.

Drift

Dream of me and drift away,
Scream for me but keep at bay,
Nothing left for us to say,
Love is lost when lovers stray.

Dream of me but do no more,
Find your own way out the door,
Nothing left but memories,
Love long lost and in the breeze.

Dream of me now that you're gone,
Shame that you were not the one,
Nothing left for us to do,
Love is lost for me and you.

Angel Art

Safe within your cloak of sound,
Blocking out the world around,
Floating on angelic ground,
Hidden where you can be found.

Standing here against the wall,
Close enough to catch your fall,
Waiting at your beck and call,
Thinking how to make you stall,

Creeping just a step behind,
Always in my sights to find,
Keeping you in heart and mind,
Hoping you will act in kind,

Stepping out into your life,
Introductions with a knife,
Walking now like man and wife,
No one here to aid your strife,

Leaving you my sacred mark,
Putting out your angel's spark,
Pretty eyes now cold and dark,
A work of art so bold and stark,

Safe within my cloak of sound,
Thoughts of pain and death abound,
Keeping them deep in the ground,
Hidden so they can't be found.

Verse #22

my home and heart,
often apart,
yet always there,
with love to share.

Timeout

So little done, so much to do,
so little time for me and you,

so little left, so much behind,
so little hope still there to find,

so little now, so much back then,
so little time to start again,

so little said, so much to mend,
so little love left for a friend.

Verse #21

Awake- I am the only one,
my eyes fixed on the rising sun,
my heart beats to the ticking clock,
alone here on this ancient rock.

Verse #20

Time is short and moving fast,
we're all alone when life is passed,
so value those you hold most dear,
and always try to keep them near.

Verse #19

All my wishes and desires,
all my passions and their fires,
all my hopes and dreams come true,
all of this I'd give for you.

Iron-clad

Six years gone and here we stand,
in memory of us holding hands,
through vows declaring truest love,
in front of men and gods above.

Six years gone and more to come,
you always were and are the one,
through every dark and lonely time,
you've always helped my soul to shine.

Six years gone and here we are,
we've travelled hard and very far,
through all the pain and every fear,
we grow much stronger every year.

Six years gone and five as three,
as perfect as we'd wish to be,
through everything that comes our way,
as one we'll always win the day.

Sunchild

The sun is rising in the sky,
her tiny voice emits a cry,
her first look at the world around,
her mother's voice the only sound.

The sun is higher in the sky,
her little legs find strength to try,
her first steps in this magic world,
her wonder at this life unfurled.

The sun is further in the sky,
her sleep brings dreams where she can fly,
her mind learns what her heart can do,
her heart learns all that can be true.

The sun moves on across the sky,
her heart is pure but often shy,
her hopes are in each parent's hand,
her future waits for her to stand.

Verse #18

This verse is no more than it seems,
just simple thoughts, and shades of dreams.

Manimal

A species long removed from beast,
yet in the way we walk and feast,
our origins can still be found,
despite belief we're somehow crowned.

In all that makes us who we are,
our ancient ego is by far,
our greatest gift and darkest curse,
to come so far and yet reverse.

As through our deeds we rule the land,
and praise ourselves for all we've planned,
yet in the end we're all deceased,
for we are no more god than the beast.

Nocturne

Shadow hide the hunter,
for his fangs are surely wet,
keep him in your corner,
as his plans are drawn and set.

Shadow guide the hunter,
for he lives to bring you life,
keep him safe in darkness,
as his soul is in his knife.

Shadow save the hunter,
for his run will end in time,
keep him in your long embrace,
and death will be sublime.

Shadow take the hunter,
for his life on earth is done,
keep him with you ever more,
and make your dark hearts one.

Truth

These shades of long forgotten dreams,
in memories long ripped at the seams,

Through dormant thoughts within my mind,
of friendships lost and left behind,

As life brings ever newer starts,
we must in time reveal our hearts.

Verse #17

A flash of light, a blink in time,
a tiny step in life's long climb,
a thought for you, no thought of me,
a chance to live, to be set free.

Verse #16

In word, I bring you close to me,
in deed, I bring you more to see,
in thought, I doubt my right to be,
in hope, I wait for destiny.

Notitia Iter Itineris

Stare into the dark abyss,
to steal the ancient serpent's kiss,
avoid the light that angels throw,
into the world of man below,
reap the spoils of dark delight,
secure in hell and out of sight.

Zimbabwe

Anger, rage, and hate abound,
forgotten souls who fill the ground,
as from his throne the dark one feasts,
upon his people turned to beasts.

Land of my heart, land of my soul,
land of my blood, land of my whole,
this sacred and most ancient soil,
cursed by greed and dark turmoil.

Taken from these blood red sands,
lost to far and distant lands,
ever more my soul shall roam,
until again I find my home.

Anguiped

My eyes are blue to hide the black,
my fingers crossed behind my back,
this act to keep the world at bay,
in lies that beg your heart to stay.

My skin is fair to hide the dark,
my scars are deep but show no mark,
this smile is wide to hide my pain,
in words that mask my thoughts again.

My spark is bright to hide my soul,
my wit is sharp to keep control,
this light you see is my facade,
the armour of my heart on guard.

Verse #15

Though darkness rains upon our lives,
we will not quake nor fall to tears,
for we are one and we are all,
and we will conquer all our fears.

Path of Man

We are your hopes,
your dreams reborn,
the ones created in your form,

We are the young,
so soon from birth,
the ones who will reshape the earth,

We are the men,
and women grown,
the ones who will make this our home,

We are the old,
with young to raise,
the ones who keep the ancient ways,

We are the lost,
our duties served,
in restful sleep we've long deserved.

Verse #14

Though Gods may rise
and Gods may fall,
the greatest one
lives in us all.

Verse #13

Now show your heart,
and sing your song,
go make a wave,
for right or wrong.

Meditate

Silence the anger and swallow the pride,
stifle the scream and keep it inside.

Focus the feelings that eat at your soul,
block out all thoughts beyond your control.

Take a step back to see what is true,
know that this life is more than just you.

Clay

This precious armour on my heart,
this sacred piece of godly art,

This cover stretched across my bones,
this veil of life my soul now owns,

This sheet draped from my head to feet,
this aging cloak of olive meat,

This sculpture that will never keep,
this beauty that is but skin deep.

Verse #12

Though we are now miles apart,
you're always here within my heart,
so as I wander through my day,
I know you're never far away.

Verse #11

Though distance keeps our visits sparse,
so often caught in life's great farse,
the blood that links our hearts as one,
will keep us close when you are gone.

Inmortality

To walk, to run, to fly away,
in bliss where hopes and dreams can play,

To speak, to sing, to guide the way,
in words no mortal man can say,

To sleep, to dream, to drift away,
in dark devoid of yesterday,

To live, to die, to win the day,
in time to beg our souls to stay.

Void

Deep within this heart of mine,
drowning in the sands of time,
searching for a sacred sign,
dreaming of a world sublime.

Deep within the heart of me,
thoughts i cannot truly see,
dreams that cannot ever be,
chains that will not set me free.

Deep within this heart of mine,
wising i could draw the line,
tiring of the endless climb,
crying for the final time.

Verse #10

Always on my mind, bringing sunshine to my face,
always in my heart, bringing hope into my soul,
always in my thoughts, bringing peace into my life,
always here with me, bringing love unto my whole.

Murdark

This flame that burns inside today,
a thorn that bleeds my heart away,
through thoughts i'd never dare to say,
this cause to which my life i lay.

This voice within my mind today,
a scream that clears the rest away,
through dreams that in my mind still play,
this darkness turns my skin to clay,

This knife that takes a life today,
a soul released to drift away,
through words that i can barely say,
this place in which my secrets stay.

Oracle

I speak the word of prophets in my own profanity,
I find the book of answers to lack all consistency,
I know the way of virtue in its true simplicity,
I wear the cloak of beauty to mask my depravity,
I hold the key to knowledge of a great antiquity,
I walk the line of madness at the edge of sanity,
I stare into the void of our species' destiny,
I hear the ticking clock of my own humanity.

Verse #9

The heart that knows the weight of love,
where agony and joy have passed,
is destined for that place above,
where peace can find the soul at last.

Verse #8

When all is said, and all is done,
when all have left except just one,
when nothing is all that you own,
tis only then that truth is known.

Verse #7

No matter what you try to do,
no matter what life puts you through,
the only thing that you can do,
is be the one and only you.

Blockade

All light escapes my sight today,
those happy dreams a world away,
no angels in my heart at play,
no god to keep the hounds at bay.

The spark escapes my grasp today,
the glow of hope soon drifts away,
the scenes are worse each time they play,
they keep my hopes of peace at bay.

The words escape my mind today,
the pages blank and thrown away,
no rhyme to keep my mind at play,
no lines to hold these thoughts at bay.

Fluttercry

From your grip, the key must fall,
the gate now locked, and standing tall,
though in your heart, you hear the call,
you cannot walk or run or crawl.

To this cage, your will must bend,
in your heart, a hole to mend,
to the void, your love to send,
all alone, your soul to fend.

In your mind, the memories glossed,
in your stride, no distance crossed,
left alone, a freedom cost,
in the end, all hope is lost.

A Soul A-part

Each born a mass of jaggered shards,
soon scattered like so many cards,
as through the years each piece is turned,
and joined or to the void returned,

Each fragment over time evolves,
the shape within each mind resolves,
as time wears on the lines are crossed,
and sections found soon can be lost,

Each aims to end this life intact,
alas we seldom keep that pact,
as through the years this puzzle turns,
and to the void each soul returns.

Verse #6

The past is gone- we can't go back,
the future clothed in shades of black,
the present is all that is true,
the only time to start a-new.

Verse #5

We see the world in youth,
from the window sill of truth,
but through growing up this hides,
behind the curtain rail of lies.

Verse #4

The pencil of the mind
must meet the paper of the soul
to reveal the words of the heart.

Verse #3

The dreams that dance within my mind,
form worlds that only i can find,
speak words that echo to my kind,
spark thoughts that cannot be confined.

A Time for Now

a time to cheer, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
a time to sleep, a time to wake,
a time for real, a time for fake,

a time for truth, a time to lie,
a time to laugh, a time to sigh,
a time to stand, a time to fall,
a time for one, a time for all,

a time for love, a time for hate,
a time to run, a time to wait,
a time to stay, a time to flee,
a time for you, a time for me.

Chance

If tomorrow were the end of this,
the end of pain, of happiness,
could you say that you lived it well?
and what great stories would you tell?

If all the world was set to fall,
no peace, no war, no law at all,
could you say that you'd made a mark?
and tell of how you used your spark?

If all of this were at and end,
no family, no foe or friend,
could you say that you'd lived it right?
Or will you make a change tonight?

Youth

I see a child- so safe and sound,
with friends and family gathered round,
no worries for the life ahead,
no monsters underneath the bed.

I see a house where youth was spent,
a garden where the dog was sent,
a street where children laughed all day,
a school yard where they used to play.

I see a birthday- cake and all,
an accidental trip and fall,
a mother hugs the hurt away,
her kiss means more than words can say.

I see a car that travelled well,
the distance one could never tell,
a happiness in every face,
no need to rush nor up the pace.

I see a dance, a first love's kiss,
a time of hope and total bliss,
a child growing to a man,
a future set out to a plan.

I see a man, his glowing bride,
their families so full of pride,
so many friends are gathered 'round,
nothing but love and laughther found.

I see another place called home,
another child not yet grown,
another street where children play
another life begins today.

my journey shown within these scenes,
my youth now lost but in these dreams,
the pictures end, the pages fold,
I close the book, this chapter told.

Lilith

All that you've said will be said tomorrow,
all that you have done will be done once more,
though your heart was once all mine to follow,
you needed more than my love could endure.

Nothing you can say to change tomorrow,
nothing you can do as the damage is done,
though you may find a new love to borrow,
nothing can stop that which first you begun.

All that is left can't save our tomorrow,
nothing to do but to start it again,
though you will cry it can't end the sorrow,
dragging my heart and soul far from your den.

Verse #2

Everything we say affects tomorrow,
everything we do defines who we are,
though some can lead and others must follow,
only as one will we get very far.

Neophyte

Glimpse the light of ancient lore,
read the signs to find the door,

free your mind from the profane,
seek the truth in the arcane,

know the light from the abyss,
keep your brother from re-miss,

walk the path that others seek,
see and hear but never speak.

The Path to Light

The force that binds us, sets us free,
to see the light of destiny,
to build the temple walls again,
within the hearts and minds of men.

The truth is here for all to see,
the god that lives in you and me,
a heaven closer than we think,
the knowledge lost to make that link.

The force that made us, breaks us too,
until we find that path so true,
the world repeats this age old tale,
until we find the holy grail.

The secrets of our ancient kin,
are locked away within our skin,
to find them we must all believe,
atonement shall we thus receive.

ValenTen

More precious than the rarest stone,
more sacred than an ancient throne,
the way to light from dark you've shown,
a place of love as yet unknown.

More lovely than an open rose,
more radiant than a star that glows,
if nothing more this life now shows,
each day this love we share still grows.

More needed than the air i breathe,
more special than you can believe,
through all the pain the gods conceive,
my heart is yours- with no reprieve.

Returnity

How can i turn back the clock?
Reverse the endless tick and tock,
go back to that most precious start,
before this dark world broke my heart.

How can I take back the time?
The roll of days in quick decline,
go back to where i once was safe,
before this life destroyed my faith.

How can i regain the years?
Forget the pain and all the tears,
go back to where the lines were crossed,
before my soul was truly lost.

Astral

A call to bring your armies forth,
the old, the young- so soon from birth,
they come from east, south, west and north,
from all across the distant earth,

A cry, a scream, such aweful sound,
the pain and death rage all around,
so many spread across the ground,
the battle lost- no glory found,

A hush so soft you almost cry,
it gives you wings so you can fly,
high up above all those who pry,
your head from neck in just one try,

The silence sings your soul to sleep,
and takes you from that ancient keep,
your mind from in this dream so deep,
into your waking life will creep.

Haven's Hymn

have faith in what you know can be,
hope not for what you cannot see,
hear all the words the choir sings,
hold close your heart when love begins,

hate not the thief or begging man,
he knows nothing of nature's plan,
heed all the cries of noble men,
here waits the chance to live again,

hark to the days of sacred life,
hide not your fear of satan's knife,
heal all your wounds within the fire,
hail not the gods nor man's desire.

Nekali Reborn

When she was young her dreams were bright,
but time has slowly dimmed their light,

Her final thought was cold and dark,
she saw no light, she felt no spark,

Yet drifting into death's long rest,
she felt a warmth within her chest,

She dreamt of light, of happiness,
a glimpse of hope, an angel's kiss,

A dream she'd long thought lost to her,
a dream forgotten in life's blur,

She lies awake now, dazed but calm,
no sense of hate, no thoughts of harm,

A second shot, a fresh new start,
another chance to share her heart,

She leaves the ward, a world to see,
at last to meet her destiny.

Elemental

Like sunshine burning in your eyes,
whilst staring up into the skies,

Like raindrops beating at your skin,
whilst waiting for the band to sing,

Like soil filtered through your hand,
whilst working on a plot of land,

Like autumn wind run through your hair,
whilst walking through the fog with care,

Love is like these little things,
it takes your breath when it begins,

You never know when it will come,
so often missed and seldom won.

Sufletul in cadrul

This burning pain within my chest,
the demon screams and will not rest,
he craves that which i cannot give,
the root of life so he can live,

This draining force within my veins,
the creature feeds and yet refrains,
he punishes to make me bend,
to give him life, this evil friend,

This stabbing pain within my head,
the monster turns my vision red,
he hungers for that taste so sweet,
in trade for life beyond defeat,

This yearning deep within my skin,
the cretin begs my soul to sin,
release him from this cage inside,
to quench his thirst and join his side.

Nekali

When she was young her heart was whole,
its strength and depth at her control,
to share it with those all around,
or save it for one to be found.

Then as a child her heart was split,
the pieces pulled with no remit,
mishapen, warped, beyond repair,
surrounded with self-centered 'care'.

This girl grew up a shy recluse,
her soul a slave to dark abuse,
ignored by most, a friend to few,
in need of love, but one so true,

No trust or friendship in her life,
save for the cold kiss of her knife,
she drifts through life devoid of light,
a wraith, a shadow in the night,

Her memories hint of happy times,
though life reminds her of its crimes,
no love without a price to pay,
no knight to take her far away,

When she was young her heart was pure,
her mind was set, her stance was sure,
no thoughts of hate lived in her mind,
no fear of love left far behind,

This child now grown, alone and scared,
a life from which she'll not be spared,
her dreams of love forgotten now,
as darkness takes its final bow.

Cursed

Torrid lies in horrid dreams,
ruthless acts bring dreadful screams,
hopeless lives in empty bliss,
deathly wish through serpent's kiss,

Questions lost to answers found,
secrets sold the world around,
dark and cold encompass light,
grounded souls in search of flight,

Strong defended by the weak,
gods abandoned by the meek,
all to have but none to give,
long of life but not to live.

The Hunt

See shadows drift through open doors,
feel heavy boots on wooden floors,

Let panic take on full control,
as fear consumes both heart and soul,

Hear metal scrape on plastered walls,
as foot steps echo through the halls,

Deep in the dark the nightmares wait,
with thoughts of death, that sense of fate,

The act is quick and without pain,
the spine soon severed from the brain,

Now take the knife, assume the form,
the killer lives, their soul reborn.

Word of Soul

Let me show you what i see,
each time I put a verse to rhyme,
all that i feel, and think and do,
is written here, safe for all time.

Let me take you to the edge,
right to the end of every line,
a place where pain and pleasure meet,
a place where thoughts and dreams combine.

Let me build a world for you,
from all that I have felt and done,
my secret wants, my deadly sins,
the web of truth and lies unspun.

Let me tell you who i am,
the boy i was, the man i'll be,
the truth is here, no lie or sham,
within these words you will find me.

Transience

A chorus less a single voice,
an angel taken from our lives,
his song cut short without a choice,
these thoughts of him all that survives,

An empty space where once was light,
a hole that cannot be refilled,
that spark put out without a fight,
a life that we must now rebuild,

A treasure lost but for his worth,
a soul reclaimed before his time,
to rest in peace within the earth.
to sleep and dream that life sublime.

Final Start

Ripping, scratching, breaking out;
Dismembered, left no will to shout.

Scraping, tearing, wrenching free;
A hollow shell resembling me.

Gnawing, gouging, piercing through;
No will to fight, nothing to do.

Flapping, floating, drifting past;
No fear remains, no pain at last.
