Discolored picture
Everything is black and white
A discolored picture
With endless horizons in sight
The whole world engulfed in candle light
Can't they see outside the windowpane?
A world left alone is shone but still lost
A rose in a broken flower pot is what remains
Beauty inside this place of chains decays
Beautiful creatures fill the night
Tied to each other in a sickness
They are a witness to their senseless plight
In their blood they pay for what is deemed right
Everyone seems to be blind to their cruelties
Ignorance is bliss but...

Self Destruction
The baying of the crowds
No less better than the hounds
Animals caught in cages
Of their own creation
Held in place by the chains
Of their condescensional beliefs
Into the night do they howl
Into themselves do they weep
A spider caught in its own web
Starved and deprived of all
Entombed in its fortress of dilapidation
Trapped it finally sees
That it is no better than the insects
From which it feeds.
Long shadows decidedly reveal
Their master's true nature
All consuming yet limited in its reach
As time passes, it...
No less better than the hounds
Animals caught in cages

Held in place by the chains

Starved and deprived of all
Entombed in its fortress of dilapidation
Trapped it finally sees
That it is no better than the insects
From which it feeds.

Trinity
There was this girl named Trinity
She had a will reaching to infinity
She was of a special kind of beauty
A unique kind of lovely
Surrounded by pain so severe
She screamed but no one would hear
She was so brave but it was life she did fear
For her the skies never were clear
The days were always black
She would always turn back
But no one waited on her
In the end she stopped pretending
She was finally breaking
A great face to see
An amazing name to know
A feeling unknown to me previously
I miss you my dear Trinity.

The End
On the mighty seas serene
The proud ship finally careens
It's the end it actually seems
The ship's old bones have finally broke
And the water's motherly grasp holds it close
Into the womb that birth him
He finally sinks.
The proud ship finally careens
It's the end it actually seems
The ship's old bones have finally broke
And the water's motherly grasp holds it close
Into the womb that birth him

Tyrant
Does he lie and wait
Or does he try and take
What he truly desires
But his needs and greed
Burns with a fire
The world may not contain
What he truly seeks
With fists of power he takes the hour
With hands of time he tries to find
But his time has finally proved insufficient
And he has lost all his strength
Through acts of force and deceit
He tried to prove he wasn’t weak
But it was he
Who broke in the end
A broken tool with which he made false amends.
Or does he try and take

And he has lost all his strength
Through acts of force and deceit

Who broke in the end
A broken tool with which he made false amends.

Angel so Fair
An angel so fair
In world cast in black
A bright star so far
Brighter than the burning sun
A lovely soul to behold
Oblivious to your perfection
An angel so fair
Subjected to society unclean
In world cast in black
A bright star so far
Brighter than the burning sun
A lovely soul to behold
Oblivious to your perfection
An angel so fair
Subjected to society unclean

Beauty
My skin do they try to touch
My essence do they try to obtain
But it is through trials of error and such
That I do slip away
They name me truly perfection
But my virtues do they leave in dereliction
The masses lack the necessary precaution
They do suffer the worst of in-caution
They pursue me until I suffer from exhaustion
My heart aches as they partake in their decisions
As they fight for what they wrongly envision
My touch has long been lost in all but nature
As the rose pedals fall I flutter in the wind
My essence lays within...
My essence do they try to obtain
But it is through trials of error and such
That I do slip away
They name me truly perfection
But my virtues do they leave in dereliction
The masses lack the necessary precaution
They do suffer the worst of in-caution
They pursue me until I suffer from exhaustion
My heart aches as they partake in their decisions
As they fight for what they wrongly envision
My touch has long been lost in all but nature
As the rose pedals fall I flutter in the wind
My essence lays within...

Let me Go
I'm finally fading away
Were know one will ever find me
I am finally going to pay
For everything that I have done
There is nothing left to say
My actions speak more than I ever could
I can not afford more delays
You can finally let me go
Please… let me go.

Broken Spirit
Broken veins stain the windowpane
Intolerable pain pertains to the life I disdain
Unworthy of the life i'm given, I'm not forgiven
As the blood begins to seep in I cry "I am born of sin"
My bloody hands draw death's pictograms
Life's demands stand on my foundations of sand
In death I embrace the taste of metamorphosis
Into the black I finally fall
You have finally taken it all
Intolerable pain pertains to the life I disdain
Unworthy of the life i'm given, I'm not forgiven
As the blood begins to seep in I cry "I am born of sin"
My bloody hands draw death's pictograms
Life's demands stand on my foundations of sand
In death I embrace the taste of metamorphosis
Into the black I finally fall
You have finally taken it all

Lingering Death
Don't even bother asking why
Bow your head a scream a sigh
Far ahead you hear a chime
in your head you do realize
That it is the time
that you must die
Roots cover this sacred path
Underneath your feet you pass
Onward towards hell you go at last
Your sins and lies you do caress
you have failed the holy test
Cold frost of winter you crave
Summer's warmth you did not save
You love the cold embrace
A darkest desire that burns with fire
Perverted mind devoid of shame
Into darkness you finally fade
Walls of black...
Bow your head a scream a sigh
Far ahead you hear a chime
in your head you do realize
That it is the time
that you must die
Roots cover this sacred path
Underneath your feet you pass
Onward towards hell you go at last
Your sins and lies you do caress
you have failed the holy test
Cold frost of winter you crave
Summer's warmth you did not save
You love the cold embrace
A darkest desire that burns with fire
Perverted mind devoid of shame
Into darkness you finally fade

The Death Of Me
Day light filters through closed curtains
Inefficiently lighting up that is certain
But all my monsters have died
No more do they stay by my side
A tree impatiently scratches my window sill
A god among the world, but it still
Speaks to me, through my incarceration
I open my arms, without hesitation
I know the end is finally near
But death I certainly do not fear
Though it is not courage that I pertain
It is life I do disdain
I am But an object of the hour
Living in the past no more
It is foolish to hope, yet I still do
My days are...
Inefficiently lighting up that is certain
But all my monsters have died
No more do they stay by my side
A tree impatiently scratches my window sill
A god among the world, but it still
Speaks to me, through my incarceration
I open my arms, without hesitation
I know the end is finally near
But death I certainly do not fear
Though it is not courage that I pertain
It is life I do disdain
I am But an object of the hour
Living in the past no more
It is foolish to hope, yet I still do

Hell Inside
Fleeting sight of mine leaves me blind
Open hands demand payment I can't find
Armored savant of death in sight
Honored in bloody raiment of lies
Living in holy cup of lust I've come to trust
Lost in the black ink I write
Horned demons evoke me
Peons of the gospel stoke my flames
I am lead to the land of the dead
Where all my monsters lay untamed
Can you hear my pity screams?
This hell is what you deem
This is all it seems
Broken nails scratch the walls
Holes hold the way out
Grooves drenched in blood
Trails to be...
Open hands demand payment I can't find

Honored in bloody raiment of lies
Living in holy cup of lust I've come to trust

I am lead to the land of the dead
Where all my monsters lay untamed
