I cannot connect myself Falling from this Earthly shelf Plagued by ghosts, plagued by demons; Death in every single season. Ancient spirits in my wake Telling me of what's at stake Kissing me with pristine lips Where only death there may sit. The Fiddler sits upon my shoulder Making it just that much colder He sits and plays but does not speak He sits and plays and only weeps. And God, he sits upon the other Speaking of evils he cannot smother Sits and watches fools kneel down Praying to a falsified crown. And I, well I too weep with them And speak of things that we condemn Things we know we cannot change; Looked upon like we're deranged. I sit here with these fallen Gods These drunken ******** and sunken Sods These olden kings of another time Upon a mountain we did not climb.

Wind On, Dearest Time
I stand in awe at the strong winds blowing Hurricanes rising and tornadoes growing Housing blown away and long hair flowing Killing the crops of this year's sewing. Stay strong, dear brothers; Strong in disaster Stout in the winds that blow ever faster Stay strong for your children, strong for your wives, To get to the morning you must first traverse the night.

In Summer's Season Winter bites the neck of Spring Doomsday Upon Us.

Twisted Seasons of Ragnarok
Reach into the depths of your throat, Demon And wretch forth the words of blasphemy, Unweave That which was said in ill possessed will, Spoken In the tongue thrown against our Lord. Begone Servant of Satan, Bringer of Death, Vanish In the name of the Father and the Son, Amen.

The Prayer of Banishment
Come and hear the tale of a falling This failure of a king, his story appalling Come and hear of his last moment's calling This man whom we once called our king. A mad king anointed with power in mind Crowned by desperation, crowned by the blind A tyrannical king; No worse will you find For this man is a servant of Hell. He comes and he swears in God's holy name To cater the people and lands that they tame But it's I who knows of his little game The political regime that he runs. He sits on his throne and barks at his men Demanding the whys and demanding the when Slowly but surely he wears the string thin; For the people may tolerate so much. He works through the town, donning his crown A hat that is envied by all in the town; For the man is rich, the man is renowned! This man whom all call their king. Beneath him men die, but criminals don't pay Put them to death, that's what I say! This kings way is in no way the right way But we the people can do naught but pray. But good men exist, whom jail the unjust Good men who work to earn the town's trust And these good men speak out, shaking out the dust And speak out against their king The king starts to fear, his gate is now closed And he starts to regret the options he chose And now by good men this king is deposed By good men this king is denied. Now we call him a tyrant, we call him a fake We spit on his image, his throne we forsake We take up our arms, pitchfork and rake And march to his door to knock. Some killed by guards, but good men prevail And blood rains down like late Summer hail And in the end we hear the king wail His death is announced the next morning. Good men cheer and king's men glance back Wondering what it was the mad king lacked Though who didn't expect his castle ransacked For was not the king of the wicked? It matters not in the end, you will find Good men un-knotted this terrible bind They laugh and jest at history behind And cast themselves to a new king. But this ballad of history will soon be repeated For in the halls of recurrence it is seated This tragic comedy of rulers so heated This tragic tale of a king.

The Tenure of Kings
Come and hear the tale of a falling This failure of a king, his story appalling Come and hear of his last moment's calling This man whom we once called our king.

Twisting their ****** words into terror These men and boys who call themselves poets I cast them down with the power of my voice! Leaving them but ashes beneath the noise. My words will carry the death and the doom Spreading the blood from room to room I'll end them all and their horrible words! I'll see to it that they never give birth. An end to the generation, corrupted by lies! Their intelligence and wit shall not suffice My punctuation is perfect, my words are precise, My power alone shall give birth to demise! And when it has ended, and when we're alone We poets of power shall not grieve for the dead Nor shall their names be engraved in stone For we are the chosen, we live in their stead.

Hymn of the Master Poets
In the long forgotten sands at the end of the Worlds By the sea where the long forgotten souls swirled Beneath the long forgotten sky of long forgotten memories, I saw my own face, staring back and shimmering. Standing in my own ashes, long forgotten but existing No longer fighting and no longer resisting; I've long forgotten every reason to be Lost in this oh-so long forgotten memory. Remember to forget and forget to have forgotten All things lost, every little thing rotten, Frozen somewhere between logic and belief Lost somewhere outside happiness or grief. Standing in my own ashes, though never knowing why Never knowing how I lived, never knowing how I died; I go down and float in the sea of long forgotten souls Long forgotten among these long forgotten shoals.

In My Own Ashes
I've been waiting for signs of God Is this world where isolation bears hope Can I survive His smiting rod In light that I am of true evil? Fearing not the man for he does not exist I am oh-so stubborn in this quest If you say yes, then I will say no; Condemned but so unlike the rest. Ashes to ashes, but dust won't be dust If you go there then I will go back This belief so old though it bears no rust I am determined to find my resolute. Shall I say I was wrong if I were right? Will I be smote and burned in the light? I think not, instead I will lay in the night My eyes eaten out by the worms. But if I am wrong and I do find a Christ Have no mercy on me, for I am malign. Though I quested long this man to find In the end I cannot say I did not expect to die.

Just Another Fool
I sat next to Death In a ***** and dark barn. "Take a swig of *** And taste the smoke, brother. I'm cooking humans, Like pine-nuts, in the cauldron. " She said, smoking a pipe. "In the dry and gray wilderness Called 'life' I got them; They are, like oysters, food: The shells of flesh houses Tasteless and slimy mucus, The watery rheum of the soul, That some God in there sneezed. " "But such oysters have no pearls?" My ambition asked. "Nearly all, not" Death, Chewing, belched: “But the heart of some Rots and inflammates in strange islands: The dreams, the fantasies, The most durable daughters of the soul; But even such diamonds I break And eat like peas porridge." And at that I rose disturbed By Death, who I could not trust And went about my way. "Come back soon, dear oyster." Called the woman enrobed, "For Death finds all, eventually."
