God Is In Chaos
His Dealings With Mortal Men
Always End In Confused Misery
Of Dire Times This Portends
For Near The Edge Of Oblivion
Stands Not To Check The Emergence
And A Vile Abudance Waits
On Darkness And Shadow's Convergence
Never Knowing, Only Tasting
The Purity Of Light In Consumption
Lacking Morale To Do Otherwise
The Black Beast Waits For Redemption
It Is Not That Which You Do
Merely That You Are And He Cannot Be
So Don't Get Caught In The Shadows
Where Mortal Eyes Cannot See
With Lusty Thoughts Of Gluttonous Indulgence
He'll Wait 'Till He Bursts
And Forth He Will Come On The Unwitting Host Of
One
He Will Subjugate His Thirsts
The Lamb Knowing Not
'Till The Slaughter Is Done
He'll Whisper With A Bloody Smile
Now Wasn't That Fun
And Traipse Sublimely Into The Gaping Mouth Of
Mephistopheles.

DARK CYCLE
Here I Sit Amongst My Doom
Roaming Caged Within This Tomb
There Within My Thoughts Run Deep
Of Grand Desires Whilst Initiative Sleeps
Box O' Muses Screams Throught The Crypt
Spirits Of Enlightenment Gulped, Not Sipped
Ran Through With The Feelings, Atoned By Not
Condensed For The Reader's, Embraced By Rot
A Man Without Seasons Or Grievances New
Grown From Red, To White Hot, And Left Only Blue
If Not For The Saviour, Then Why Doth He Live
Theologian Contemporary Concerned Above Bid
T'ward Insanity Walks 'Cross A Long Narrow Bridge
Adept At The Task, 'Bove Humanities Glib
Recollections Are Dire, Wolves Nip At The Heels
Centered Inward, Struggling On, From The Light He
Doth Reel
Racing Plodily Through Morn's Early Hours
Half Slitting Eyes Ground Where Tears No
Longer Soar
Dispatched Unto The Sunlight, Where Drac Cannot
Wait
Awaiting Self-Destruction Designed By The Fate
Calamity In Quiet Slipping Off To Daymares
Sleeping 'Neath The Lids Of Pain Granted Fair
'Ere Comes Another Day Where Hope Lies Undefined
The Rat Race Joined With The Daily Grind
The Night Dies

JUDICIAL CONSENT
Every So Often, In The Land Of Nye
There Comes A Happenstance, One Must Ask Why
What Have I Done, The One Will Query
To Deserve Such As You, The One Is Leary
To Doubt Thy Words, No I Cannot
To Doubt Thy Love, No I Will Not
To Deny My Feelings, No I Dare Not
To Caress In Glorious Splendor, All That Is You
That Is My Path, 'Tis Where It Boons
And All Bodes Well, For A Pureness
Found Only Where Two Make One In Fullness
You And I My Dove, For All Eternity's
Righteousness
And Justice Prevails Once In My Lifetime.

TWISTED AND SOULLESS REUNION OF FATE
I See The Chasm, The Floor Below
Little Trees, Tiny People, Buzzing Like Ants
Known To All, Understood By So Few
Greek And Fervent And Used For Fuel
Milling In And Out, Down And Through
Grown To Perfection, Or Sold Into Bulk Ignorance
Crammed And Crowded Their Future Blows On A Wing
Already Steadily Winding Down The Known Path
Gracefully Dying Into Ignorant Oblivion
Once Told, Thrice Displayed In An Herbal Vending High
Rise
Deed And Descending A Voice Rings Out Here Or
There
Old McDougal Sells His Soul For Not
Slaughter Of Imminence, Ungrateful Or Unknown
Wanting So Bad To Be A Part Of Something So Dead
Wishing To Fly Down Among The Masses And Belong
As Inspiration And Endictment T'wards A New Future
Greased And Gleaming, I Go For Broke
Twisting And Turning I Run Flinging My Soul
Down And Descending Into The Place Which I See
I Fly, Soaring And Singing Braced For Empathy
Hoping To Be The Sign Of Celibate Times
Embraced By The Soil I Take A Header
The Very Being Of The Trees Leap To Invite Me
And As I Lay In A Non-Essential Puddle Below
Morality
The Depth And Meaning Is Lost And Worthless
The Headline Is Just Another Suicide Boredom Mercy
Killing

WINTER WATERFALL
The Summer's Clouds Have Gone Away
Through The Fall A Ring Was Spit
Winter Is Cold The Wind Has Bit
And It Doesn't Rain Here Anymore
Grassy Knolls And Shady Trees
Everything Has Gone To Seed
But In Winter's Shade It Will Not Grow
'Cause It Won't Rain Here Anymore
The Dampness Gone From Dawn's First Light
Retreats To Places Unseen By Human Eyes
These Eyes Remorse And Some Still Cry
Why Won't It Rain Here Anymore
A Thrashing Wind Gales Through My Soul
Your Eyes Are Seen But Don't Dampen
My Heart You've Trampled In Return
This Will Be The Last Rainstorm
Yet Nye The Next Night Dawns In And Out Of Slumber
I Am Easy To Surrender To The Dreaded Storm
Yet Easy Fall The Drops On A Broken Heart
And The Misty Gems Will Gleam With Moist Dampness
Forever

PUPPET STRINGS
Arranged In A Stream Of Chaotic Accolytes
We Sit Before Our Brigade Of Gods
Outwitted By Symptoms Of Life...And Fate
Phasing Into Shades Of Anger And
Solitude, Alternately
Grimacing, Spineless Grapes Of Wrath Descend
At Once Upon The Famed Obsession Of Dilligence
Crammed, Screaming Into Platoons Of Enraged
Silence
Spent, Sending Tombs Of Unlived Into
Battle, Ultimately
Whether Abandoned Or Ensued, Caged Or Frozen
All Know The Single Fate That Awaits All
Living Things
Coward Or Brave, In Managerie Or In Solid Oneness
The Creeping Doom O'ertakes Them All, Untimely
And Though She Stands Stolid, With A Seething
Horde Abating
The Wave Will Find Them, Large Or Small, Creatures
Of Barding
The Clash Of Metal Rings Through The Din Of
Dazzling Delight
There, And For What, Too Watch The Victorious
Tyrant Strid Home,
Gloriously?
Alone He Stands On The Fleshy Heaps Of Friend And
Foe Alike. 居~SW98~~
FALLEN ANGEL
Thoughts Of Grain Persuade Me Outlined With Ashen Hues
Grating On A Timeless Soul I Tremble At The Sight
Too Long These Days Have Seen Me Among The Lowly Weeds
So Long Since Times Of Glory Where The Earth Shook
When I Awoke
Trodding On The Green Leaves Rendering Life Into Death
Ripping Daylight From The Mounds, Taking Down Giants
Sleeping With The Sword, Gripping Breath With Icy Tendrils
Groping Now, I Sense The Dead World Has Overcome
Mother Nature Adapts, Father Time Lumbers On
'Twas Not Mine To Take, And Yet I Took
Groaning As I Draw Back From The Chilling Burn,
Seething In Anger
Rolling Along The Wall, Knowing My Defeat
All Too Late, I See The Thing That Eludes Better Men
And Those Who Are Better, Better For Never Havin' Seen
The Brilliance It Casts Is Dark And Beyond Blinded, I See
That Which Once Held Glory, Is But A Myth
In My Newly-Begotten, Writhing Nightmare Of Unending
Sepultura
And Broken Is The Soul That Is Fooled By Love.

PRISMATIC VIEW
The Sky Is Streaked With Purple Hues
My Mind Sings Of Purple Thoughts
A Hand Twitches In Purple Ways
As The Weather Turns To Violet Rains
A Rider Hunches Palely Over A Green Horse
The Wind Tosses Into A Green Gale
Throughout Natures Green Playground
As My Envy Turns To An Emerald Rage
My Boredom Drenched In Black Light
The Perverbial Cat Of Black Velvet
Screams Of A Midnight's Black Hope
As My Surroundings Turn To An Opaque Future
The Suns Brightness, A Flawless Orange Line
Of A Horizon That Foretells An Orange Belonging
Noteworthy Of The Misty Orange Peaks
As The Whole Turns To An Unspeakable Tangering Destiny
Grey Against A Black Exterior
A Pale Yellow Body Filled With Angry Red Strength
Prismatically Lights A Navy Fate Filled With A Diamond
Dream
And Yet No Crimson Could Transfer Or Transplant
The Sanctity Of A Clean, Crisp Green Or The Dim
Poeticism Of Black. 居~SW94~~
INTO THE DARKENING MISTS
Come With Me Into My Misery
Sleep Darkly Beside Me
As I Peer Deeply Into Your Restless Hair
Know Me As The Ashen One
All To Soon Shall Come To Pass
Your Induction Through The Blackened Glass
Bathe In Its Thorough Depths
Cross Over To The Ashen One
Games Are Futile But Abundant
Providing Amusing Grief To The Light Of Heart
Growing To The Height Of Disillusioned Laughter Smirking At The Ashen One
You'll Burn In A Fire
One Of Ashen Desire
To Be A Fulfilled Part Of A Gruesome Clan
Known Only To The Ashen One
Sing Me Lullabies Of Babes And Ballads Of Remorse
Grind To The Beat Of A Long Dead Lover
Groan At The Sight Of Twelve Knights With No Hearts
For The Thirteenth Is The Ashen One. 居~SW94~~
FLIPPANT TABLES
Felled By An Uncaring Heart Of Glass Caged Within
The Warrior Wept And Lept Blindly Forward
And Into The Arms Of A Barbaric Butcher With A Kind Face
Like That Of An Angel And The Tongue Of A Thousand Lawyers
His Uneasiness Is Quelled By The Knowledge Of Oncoming
Death
Of Brilliant White Lights And Winged Mistresses
The Weight Of The Knowledge Unburdens Him From Frolic
And Playful Love From A Kitten Into Ever Darkening Sin
Bias In His Relief, He Reaches For The Door That He Now
Clearly Sees
For Now It Is A Wall In A Prison Of His Own Design
There Are No More Battles To Be Fought
And No More Monsters He Can Destroy
For He Alone Is The Monster Who Has Ill-Fated His
Own Self Into Destitute, As The One Who Now
Waits Only For A Death That Will Be Joyful In Coming
As The Brazen Glass Statue Waits To Be Shattered. �

Comments From The Knowledgeable (Death By Knowledge)
Sad Dreams Swim Drearily Across Seven Oceans
Resting But Never Knowing The Release Of A Damned Existence
Creeping Through A Fate Of Knowledeable, Yet Uncaring, Living Death
The Innocent Find Themselves Lost Too Young, And Remorseful Too Late
On A Battlefield Where Souls Are Prized And Spiritual Death Common
I Grieve For Those Who Know Their Source And Destination
And Pity Those Who Will Never Know Their Boundless, Endless Journeys
So Confirmation Is The Key To Unlocking The Knowledge That Ignorance Is Bliss
And A Young Man With Old Thoughts Will At Least Reach The Lowest Depths Of His Abilities
But An Elder With Vision Is Immortal In His Sight
Thus A Blind Man Is No More Limited Than A Man Of Ignorance
Lest He Have Knowledge The Height Of Which Being His Ultimate Downfall
So Grieve, Cry, Lust, Laugh, Live, Or Perish
We Will All Know Ultimate Defeat Knowledgeable Or Not. �

ALONE
Here I Lie In A Tangled Mass
My Thoughts Scrambled, My Whims In Flight
I Soar To Depths Unbeknownced To Me
Grappling With The Devil Of My Soul
Thrown Aback Through A Wall Of Horrors
Knowing All To Well What It Means
Green Tears Flowing From A Black Sky
I Turn To See Nothing And All Is Clear
My Knight In Shining Shadow Gorges Himself
Headlong Through Grey Strips Of Sadness
And Endless Screams Of Sorrow
Cascading Into A Sea Of Emotion And Fear
Fear So Awesome Its Shadow Clouds The Day
So Black It Has No Equal
And So Thick A Spear Thrown By A God Could Not Pierce It
It Is No Normal Thing
It Has But One Purpose
It Strives To Extinguish The Very Hopes Of A Man's Soul
And It Has Come For Me. �

THE WANDERER
Pain, Anguish, Loss
All Things Under Heaven
You Tore Down Those Walls
That Kept You Out So Long
Knocked Them Down With Sticks And Stones
But The One That Made The Walls Come Tumblin' Down
Was A Stone Tossed Not In Determination
But One Flung Carelessly Over A Shoulder That
Was Tired And Unable To Play This Game Any
Longer, When The Dust Settled From The Falling
Of The House Of Loneliness You Were No Where
To Be Seen, There Were But Tears That Refused
To Fall On A Mis Trustful Barren Wall Any Longer
But Learning And Living I Have Found That
With Another Or Without And Alone It Is Not
Life If You Live It Behind Cold Grey Walls
Of Untrusting Hearts, Here Within Lies My
Disclaimer To A Throne Which Was Once Mine
When I Truly Deserved It, Never Wandered Far
When I Got Up To Play, No Longer Holds Its
Devotion To One Who Shunned It, And Will
Never Truly Understand How, Why, Or How Much
And How Deep My Love, Heart, And Emotion Truly
Run For A Seat That No Longer Waits For Its
Jester King To Return Home. �

THE DAY THE DREAMER DIED AND A BUREAUCRAT WAS BORN
To Peacefully Coexist In A Land Of A Thousand Dances
To Swim Upon The Shores Of A Face That Launched A
Thousand Ships
There Is No End To A Life Of Misery
But Happiness Is Shortlived And Seldom Survives A
Fleeting Moment
Pipedreams Drain And People Awaken
Stark Naked, Bleeding, Cold, And Alone
Crying, Sobbing, And Weeping Are All That Are Left
And Things Don't Just Shatter, They Evaporate Before Our
Eyes
Left With Nothing, You Have Nothing To Lose
Or Perhaps Your Own Interpretation Of Nothing
So You Rebuild The Temple That Stood As A Mockery For So
Long
But Now Is A Birthplace For Great Things
Ideas Founded By Knowledge, Dreams Anchored To Reality
Foundation Upon Foundation Of Tried And True Workable
Losses
You Deal In Monetary Forethought Instead Of Fleeting
Pounding Hearts
And Warmth Now Comes In A Bottle Marked Proof Of Your Loss
So Now Your Together In Foundation And Thought
And Walled Into Responsibility Of A Prison
A Barred Barroom Where Your Soul Sits And Drinks And Dies
While Dreams Once-Loved Are Shunned As You Enter Society.
And The Numbers Filed In. �

FAMILY, THE JEWEL
Mother Is Sunshine, Light Of Your Life
Father Is Darkness, In Youth Causes Fright
But All Becomes Clearer, As Days Pass To Years
Father Becomes Moonlight, When You Get Past Your
Fears
Night And Day Are Seen As One, In Unison They Fly
In A Circle Unending, Through Storms Fraught With
Strife
There Are Times Of Confusion, When Eclipses Are
Near
When Grey Horizons On The Edge Of Life's Sanity
Leer
The Grass, However, Knows, The Day Will Continue
The Trees Know The Passing Of The Eclipse Will Bring
Night Anew
The Circle Of Life Continues, On To The Next
Generation
Where New Answers Bring New Quesions, And Ultimate
Salvation
From Foundations Of Past, I Will Build Up My Own
With My Other Beside Me, T'ward New Seasons I Roam
With Morality And Virtues, You Gave Without Lack
I Will Pair Twixt My Own, Or Lament To The Back
Where Sun And Moon Once Brightly Shown
Now Stands The Jewel That Is My Parents, Alone
As I Sing Down The Path Where Their House Was My Home. �
