30 Tarnished Silver: The Cost of a Broken Messiah
My hands are stained red
With the blood of man
And blackened by the touch
Of thirty tarnished silver
Such is the price of life
So wasted and fleeting
Crime without punishment
When a man is cheating
Brothers, aboard on a quest to spread the word of laws
Written by men, such as I, broken with sinning and flaws
Stripped down to the core, is there nothing inside
This wrecked and feeble shell with the devil on my side?
A crown woven with thorns awaiting my brother
On a blood-stained cross erected by man for another
Slaughter of the...

Freedom!
Upon the field
With sword and shield
Darkened skies
As lightning strikes
Form the ranks
It’s time for war
Soldiers march
Freedom’s cost
Standing firm
Or all is lost
The principals
Of poor man’s call
He gathers arms
To spread alarm
In the hearts
Of tyranny
Across miles
For a stand
Raise their fists
Across the lands
To stand in the face of tyranny
At the end of centuries
Standing in defiance of their kingdom
With the price of blood we chant, ...

At the Edge of Night
On one evening of cold winter
‘Neath the hunter’s moon
A house of sinners
Was a spark of love eternal
Faithless eidolons
Remain infernal
Those watching from gothic estates
Wrought iron and pale Luna eyes
Opiates and poisoned absinthe
The moaning and the cries
She spoke to me
Under the razor’s edge
Of which she grieve
Of words that were said
Cruel and unjust
With the nightshade’s scent
Glazed on the frost
For angels heaven-sent
On the edge of the night
Her song led to me to
The cemetery
“I...

World of Sin
Riding forth
On the hot winds of Hell
Darkest one
With no soul to sell
I am sin
Born of your freewill cost
Blackest heart
The staining of the cross
Rise above
The tethers of this world
Becoming
More than pain untold
I am hell
Casting my influence
Broken will
From Heaven’s downfall since
Who am I?
The pride that you envy
Your lust and gluttony
Greedy and a sloth
But most of all
I am Wrath!
Oh my God
Damn your petty wishes
Let loose and
Revel in the ashes
What is God
But...

Morningstar: Instrument of Destruction
For eons I spoke of vengeance
And the crimes committed against me
But when faced with the instruments
Of your destruction
I feel only lost and
Infinite grief
She spied me watching
From brooding clouds
Distraught and unjust
In waves of anguish
Condemning my father
On barbed tethers of rust
Lacerating the faceless
To stop the flowing tears
Great leviathans writhing
In the churning ocean depths
This fire deep inside
Cannot ease my labored breath
The crux of it all is
I am the only one
Demon twixt...

Morningstar: Malcontent Eidolons
Madness grows like a cancer
Spreading to devour
Everything in its path
A broken mind, godless
Set to decay
Sees only betrayal
And misery
The creator, so powerful
With the universe in his hand
Spins it around to see
The blessed and the damned
So attuned and self-righteous
All seeing but all that he sees
Are broken glass shards
Lord, what is your decree?
Ever since my great falling from
Heavenly spires laced with gold
His heart has grown darker
With love turning to mold
Envious of Faith’s...

Morningstar: Hammer Fall
Watching eyes in shadowy corners
Seeking ways to usurp those
In higher station
Whispering tongues sing treacherous tunes
Into gullible ears
To ensure the knife
Plunges straight and true
Bodies fall like rain, upon the streets the slain
Bleed like rivers onto celestial courts
Haggard angel wings, as they sadly sing
Wither like roses in cursed drought
Weapons, they clash as warriors so rash
Fly into holy battle, glorified
For blood and God, angels so flawed
Trample over those who have died
Angels rise,
One and all!...

Morningstar: A Portrait Against Mourning Hues
By all the Saints of thee
Who crave for Heaven
And all dark masters
In the pits below
You gave one gift
That nurtured fruit
Sweet and poisonous
And now it consumes all
She chose to love one other
Than the one higher than all
On peaks meant only for eyes
Of gods of lustful lovers
Faith beat faster at godly sights
In love with a warrior lord
Thus setting course to damnation
And her casting from His Heaven
Lamenting her downfall from the highest steps of Heaven
A portrait placed against the mourning hues
Employing...

Assisted Suicide
Listen to your woes
Sobs into pillows
Incisions, reasons
To break down walls
Of your own prison
Curses are derived
From wailing cries
Treason in season
Obsolete life
To live with cretins
I will listen as you’re
Crucified
I will embrace your
Suicide
I will watch and
Scrutinize
I will hold you as
You slowly die
I will be your only friend
You’re so passionate
I will be the only one there
As you lacerate
And
Cut
Cut

Maledictus Elysium
Like a fleeting wisp on the wind
You are gone like a faithless wraith
Less than the other shadows
Which consume you
This flower is devoured
By crimson lips deflowered
On an altar of sacrifice
It will not suffice
Any longer
Elysium seems so empty
Without you here
Delirium fills darkened thoughts
Inside me here
Floating on the boulevard
Just above the bleeding glass shards
Reflecting back on memories
Which forget you
The tower has a prowler
As the loup garou cower
Behind altars of fallen gods...
