Faith.
Those nights we lived through – seem like a dream now,
Life is far too grotesque to render that reality,
The definition is far too low, resolution distorted like shattered glass,
My eyes could vomit out the seas; you unsowed them with your avarice.
Die on your knees. For this damnation, is not one which I laid upon you,
No, it is one that you created yourself – out of the bones of your beloved,
I merely assembled them – you were the dissector.
We shall weep for the day that you spawn offspring,
Souls begotten in an alcohol saturated womb,
Do you...

And what was now, passed in another time.
I cannot remember my first steps in the snow,
But I remember the cold,
Those nights waiting for the storms to clear,
They seemed endless then,
But now…the only thing infinite,
Is this moment...
The sun rising behind mountains,
In a land untraveled,
I cannot remember snow,
But I remember ash,
The sky rained down on us.
The clouds burned and the sky was alight,
But like a candle, snuffed out –
All that was, passed in a second
-Which seemed so endless then,
But does not exist now,
In this moment, this time…this second.
But I remember the cold,
Those nights waiting for the storms to clear,
They seemed endless then,
But now…the only thing infinite,

In a land untraveled,
I cannot remember snow,
But I remember ash,
The sky rained down on us.
The clouds burned and the sky was alight,
But like a candle, snuffed out –
All that was, passed in a second
-Which seemed so endless then,
But does not exist now,
In this moment, this time…this second.

Keep Dancing.
The low-lights create the perfect ambience,
May I have this dance?
A scene that only dreams could manufacture,
The audience is in a trance.
My feet bleed, when will it stop?
I have had enough of dancing,
For the entertainment of an unknown audience,
-To the music of nightmares.
I finally break, stopping my waltz,
I cast away my dance partner,
Mannequins, to mannequins,
I face the cameras, and scream.
May I have this dance?

Autumn
The fall of Autumn marks the end,
Belies the shadows to come,
The long cold winter slowly descends,
Marking what has become.
The noose tightens around my throat,
I feel the light slipping away,
My body shall fall and be cast to the moat,
Never to again to see the light day.
My one regret, to last forever,
It Shall haunt my heavenly ascent,
For I would have died happy if we had died together,
But your body shall never be sent.
Through the wastelands beyond the walls,
I’ll march through snow and fire,
Arriving at last in the...

A rose.
A rose, a curtain and a field of bone,
I want a lover, to invite, to atone,
I would give any price, any gem, any stone,
But every night, I spend on my own.
Beside the river Styx, in the isle of hell,
I waited in silence, while the demons would dwell,
Yet, upon the shoreline you stood that night,
You too know emptiness, and mortal plight.
Take my hand, radiant Goddess,
Is it the heathen that you choose to bless?
If so take my hand and take it with grace,
That we may leave here, to find another place.
I’d burn a thousand cities to...

A hatred for the selfish.
Another person to whom I owe-
-All that, which lies can bestow,
My love, a heart and a fucking soul,
I wish I’d just buried you all in a hole.
So long, I wait, in my cocoon,
As they come to fall and come to swoon,
I’d murder you all, just for some silence,
So leave me alone, lest I resort to violence.
I thought the last one had taken it all,
But she didn't kick me and force me to crawl,
I’ll leave you to cry in this empty space,
-So that I alone, can yield a silent embrace.

Shallow World
Hollow, empty, shallow world,
Behind the eyes of sleep unfurled,
Laying with sirens who drowned in the sea,
There lies a world unknown to me.
Below the moon, beneath the stars,
Betwixt the sun and the body of mars,
A planet comprised of blood and rust,
-Of plastic, of rubber and of human lust.
A hive of writhing, parasitic worms,
Spreading industry as fast as germs,
Like a tide-pool disturbed and slowly swirled,
Unbalance and disruption, in a shallow world.
Behind the eyes of sleep unfurled,
Laying with sirens who drowned in the sea,
There lies a world unknown to me.
Below the moon, beneath the stars,
Betwixt the sun and the body of mars,
A planet comprised of blood and rust,
-Of plastic, of rubber and of human lust.
A hive of writhing, parasitic worms,
Spreading industry as fast as germs,
Like a tide-pool disturbed and slowly swirled,
Unbalance and disruption, in a shallow world.

Un avertissement pour les filles de la ville.
Infallible, perverse – so completely hollow inside,
On wings of demons I fall and I glide,
How art thou fallen from heaven?
To what labyrinth do you now reside?
Who are you to question the hatred in me?
What is it you want, what is it that you see?
Do you want to awaken the demon within?
Then this is where your nightmare doth begin.
I pity any who look upon me with cheer in their eyes,
So obviously blind to the sagacity and lies,
Spare thyself the misery of my unholy presence,
And drink from another’s purer essence.
So be careful...
On wings of demons I fall and I glide,

Once, I asked.
Once I asked, what is inside?
You waited long and did not reply,
Since then, many times I did err,
But time and time again, you would defer.
I am a victim, in a victim-less crime,
Slitting my wrists, just to pass the time,
My eyes cannot see, my ears cannot hear,
Since my mind has been raped, no longer can I fear.
Plagued by unfathomable uncertainty,
Again, tempted by the world around me,
I long for the key, so I may unveil this charade,
But uncertainty is my destiny; my path has been laid,
I drag my body up the stairway to bliss,...

Une étape plus loin.
Dim, are the last lights of the eve,
Hours upon hours to deceive,
Sacrifice the last trace of day,
Sunrise is yet hours away.
Dance under a starless sky,
Do not listen to the whispered lie,
Eaten consciousness, fades to black,
Unable to find the original track.
Laughter cries out from inside your soul,
Leaving this husk a worthless hole,
Your screams echo into the silent night,
But you are far from any man’s sight.
Hours upon hours to deceive,
Sacrifice the last trace of day,
Sunrise is yet hours away.
Dance under a starless sky,
Do not listen to the whispered lie,
Eaten consciousness, fades to black,
Unable to find the original track.
Laughter cries out from inside your soul,
Leaving this husk a worthless hole,
Your screams echo into the silent night,
But you are far from any man’s sight.
