ELECTRIC DREAMS

I can't seem to find the time

to get myself out of this funk

It's late in the hour

but we've just begun

And you never really get there-

you're always on the cusp

*

Heroes play out revolution

fuel electric dreams like blood

*

Music is The Presence

absolved inside the sound

Formless for a moment-

Was it real at all?

And you fight so hard to get there

you're never certain that it's come

*

Heroes play out revolution

fuel electric dreams like blood

*

I can't seem to find the time

to get myself out of this funk

The hour's gettting late

but we've just begun

And you never really get there

you're always just on the cusp-

*

Heroes play out revolution

fuel electric dreams like blood

THE KILLER OF THE FLESHLINGS

This has taken / to the form /

In our image /

it is born /

It is living

/ for a cause

/ for the death of

/ all of us

*

This has tasted /

mortal wounds /

bled our children /

of their youth /

This has hunger

/ none appease

/ fed by liars

/ and deceit

*

Can you see It /

through the clear?

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It? /

Watch It lear

/ from the shadows

The Killer of the Fleshlings

*

This is spoken /

in the words /

of our leaders /

through their wars /

This has blinded

/ all who see

/ bringing madness

/ to the real

*

Can you see It/

through the clear?

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It? /

Angels sing

/ at the hour

of The Killer of the Fleshlings

*

It has taken / to the womb /

of Creation /

and consumed /

human nature

/ This killing brood

/ this sickening monster

we've exhumed

*

Can you see It /

through the clear /

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It /

spread its wings?

*

/ It is The Hour /

*

The Killer of the Fleshlings...

SUNSET EUPHORIA

Walk with me

faded shadow of the evening sun

Your open wound

held from healing

left alone too long

*

They're still here

beneath the stairway of the Autumn clouds

They're still here

between the crossing of these worlds somehow

*

They're still trying to hunt me down

make me a ghost just like this town

*

They're still growing

I can feel their death inside

*

Now it's time

to prepare

to put the past behind

*

Now it's time

to haunt these hills

where only memories lie

*

They're still here

beneath the stairway of the Autumn clouds

They're still here

Never to wither

in the forever-now

*

They're still trying to hunt me down

make me a ghost

just like this town

*

They're still growing

I can feel their death

*

Sunset

sunset

I can't escape your eye

Oh, sweet sunset

bury me with you inside

*

Sunset

sunset

My family beside

Oh, my sweet sunset

bury me with you inside

ROYAL BLUE

Born of cobalt
and silver rain
liquid lights
and aquamarine
*
Something borrowed
and something new
and forget a stitch?
did you?
*
What do you think I think you know?
What were you doing there
inside a shadow?
*
Did you see us together?
Tell the truth
Did you see us there
my Royal Blue?

*

Born of cobalt
and silver rain
liquid lights
and aquamarine
*
Something borrowed
and something new

and bring a key?

did you bother to?

*

What do you think I think you know?
What were you doing there
inside a shadow?
*
Did you see us together?
Tell the truth
Did you see us there
my Royal Blue?

VENUS IN FLAMES

Lashing out from the sun

Mercury is overrun

*

A flash of light

before its doom

in the tidal flames

The God's consumed

*

Through the void

The Goddess waits

a Harbinger at Heavens Gate

*

The Golden Calf of

Gods conspire

Venus in flames

at The Altar of Fire

*

Spreading through

the burning sky

piercing clouds

with molten eyes

*

Pillar of Fire

The Flaming Sword

The Locusts scorch

two thirds of Earth

*

Alchemy of natures love

Venus in flames

Twilight has come

*

Her spirit lost

her body torn

Venus in flames

and is no more

*
