Poet Introduction
i'm me
We only ever build for war
In between a mental case
Where no alcohol or drug applies
And still absolutely off one’s mind
Go on to pretend committing suicide
Seeking something out of nothing
I’ll reveal all to the world
Anyone could ever wish for
Amounting to nothing
All ever so gifted
Enough to succeed on a scale
While never ever succeeding in the end
See who will achieve it all
We only ever build for war
To infinity all these constructions
Wasted over the horizon
I’ll just bumped and crash it all
We only ever build for...

Nothing ever so simple
If only I could have been born here
Happy to live for thirty years
And simply die without ever having gone anywhere
Happy go lucky with no need to see the world
If only I could just wake up with dawn
Work very hard with no need to think much
Go to bed smiling and satisfied at dusk
Happy go lucky ready to start all over again the next day
If only I had been born like everyone else
Meet my girl down the road
Marry her and go on to have seven kids
Happy go lucky working the land to sustain us
If only my only worry was to feed my...

There is no threshold to insanity
There is a deep truth about us
That we could never possibly admit
I can only hope you will never check it up
As then all would be revealed
A deep truth no one could admit
Something that shows its face every once in a while
Every once in a while if not on a daily basis
And yet without ever however crossing the line
A deep truth no one could admit
Oh dear I just can’t be sure
I just can’t be sure we can control ourselves
And reveal to all just how insane we are
We’ve been so good at it for years
Promotion after promotion...

We as humanity we have arrived
We as humanity
We are ready
To take our place
Within the universe
We as humanity
We are proving ourselves
We are worthy
We are arriving
It is time to be responsible
We can be trusted
As a worthy race
By your side
We won’t be so easily dismissed
We won’t be so easily enslaved
We won’t be so easily destroyed
We will survive anything
We as humanity
Cannot be judged on the few in power
We cannot be held responsible
For this permanent state of war
We cannot be judged by our leaders
We...

I will not lie even for God
God spoke to me
God said this is what happened
God said this is what I must say
I cannot say it
Everything is on the line
If only it was just my life
But it is the whole of humanity
I cannot say it
I will gladly lose my life over this
I believe in human rights
In fairness and justice
I cannot say it
I cannot be sure we acted properly
I cannot be sure we acted within the law
I don’t believe in protecting ourselves
I don’t believe in protecting even myself
I said as much to God
It nearly destroyed me...

And so hear us God
And so hear me
And so hear me God
As I will revolutionise all
As I will achieve everything above my station
You say you will not listen to reason
There are things in this world
It goes well above our head
As such is life and so it should be
And yet it all must come true
You feel absolutely invincible
As from your station you can achieve anything
As such is life and so it should be
You could not possibly find a kink in our armour
We are these old British Knights
Just about ready to slice your head off
As such is life...

There will be a war that we cannot survive
I barged in with all my hopes and curiosity
Dear me I would get to the bottom of it all
And denounce it all for all of humanity to hear
I went for it full blast
I read all of those occult books of days past
I read between the lines
The price of truth
Is there will be a war
That we cannot win
I had no idea where the truth led
It is all out there for anyone to discover
How deep you must dig is up to you
I had no idea where the truth led
I know now the whole truth
I find myself absolutely forever muted ...

Much better off with a split personality disorder
Much better be off your head half the time
Not knowing what you’re doing
And be amazed the next day by what you’ve done
And be apologetic and remorseful
Than actually live this life being aware
In such perfection that only God can dictate
Of such a boring life
That could never have any impact
Let’s start the party!
Let’s go crazy!
Let’s change the world!
Much better off with a split personality disorder
What it is to live a life permanently comatose
As if one was prescribed heavy drugs
What is the point of feeling such an existence...

Nothing alcohol can't cure
You could never guess
How small I am
How useless I am
How insignificant I am
Until I drink my first pint of beer
Then, my God
I own the world
I control the world
As I create the world
As I am God!
I never thought
That one pint
Would be
All that is required
For such a thing
To come true
You have no idea
How simple it all is
How it is so simple
To change the world
As soon as you think differently
And all that is required
Is one pint

So what’s in a name?
Oh just about everything
Nothing for a start
When you could never aspire to be anything
It tells where you’re from
It says who you really are
That you could never be anything significant
You can only mean nothing
How could such a person change everything?
How could such a person be a genius?
And take over the world?
Such things are better done anonymously
Left to the world unknown!
With all the power required
To rewrite history
For the ones with the guts to do so
My name is burnt out...

I have a deep need to save your soul
I am desperate
I am out of this world
There’s only one thing I must do
I must take him in my arms and save him
I must save him from the evil of this world
I must take him in my hands above all else
Kiss him and vouch my undying love to him
I must love him and save him from you
So young, he is the cutest thing ever
Never felt anything like it
Such love is incomprehensible
It is my child, the only child I will ever be allowed to have
There should be a law against such things
But there isn’t
I can still have my...

Escaping the universe
For so long have I suffered
Still had time to go around the world
And come back humbled
In these arms
Only had to walk on stage
Look over the horizon
And think
I will call it paradise
I came back years later
After I’ve gone everywhere
I never thought it mattered
Dear me it does
I can own it
I can own the place
I only have to recognise it
I only have to name it
Deep down underneath the crust
Further down
Inside the sun
Is this really paradise?
For so long have I suffered
Not one ever...
