Let the river bathe me oh highest king
For thine eye's are closed
To hell it seems
Wash away my sins so great
Abound me with your glory
So great

But do my ears deceive my mind
For sounds of darkness now climb
Into my empty mind at times
When lonely less
Stands by my side

So not forsake or abandon me
I feel the hands of him
Drag me from this place of peace
Down into
A space so bleak

Why doth you let me go
Did I not sing hallelujah
To your praise
Prey tell why this is so
That now my soul resides below

Rescue me I beg you now
For eternity taste so sour
And my eye's stay so blind
Below here amongst his kind

Now as I rest in soil so burnt
How my heart sinks
A lesson I've learnt
Yet still I belive in all that is written
While my world lays burnt

On the pavement is my bed

People pass me by

Looking at me

Going outta my head

With hunger and dying light

No thought for me

No time for a chat

Just to see if I'm alive

Inside

I don't want your money

Just a smile will do

A friendship hand to reach out now

To say it's not so blue

It's no one's fault how my path did change

That's life I'm afraid

Just in the wrong place

On this earth

Someday I'll find a way

So just remember when you see

A lost soul like me

A guiding light is all I need

To make it feel alright

And when my body aches for your touch
And the world seems
To distance itself
I cry into the night
Of broken dreams
Wishing you were here

How we used to lie as one
On this bed
We made our own
Catching every minute when
Our love making
Would never end

But these sheets feel so cold
And my heart breaks
And alone I hold
Dreams of us in the night
Come now my baby
Tell me now
I'm not to old show me how

Hiding in this darkened room
I can see a place we once knew
Why did I let it slip away
And cry in the night
I start to prey

I'm a fool that couldn't hold you right
Love doesn't make
Darkness light
I shoulda given
More to you
Instead
Of not being true

I want to scream the name out loud
Wake the world
Shake the crowd
But I know it's gone for good
Only loneliness
Kisses my heart

I look for her in burned pages of
Forever
My queen that love brought to my door
The darkness brings with it the shadows
And lost kisses fall upon
The dust riddled floor

How my black heart aches
To see the moon shine in her eyes again
And to taste the crimson life
Spill from the neck of pure beauty

Am I destined to howl like a banshee
Alone and chastised
By the hand of the master that now
Robs me of slight happiness
And blinds my sight
Oh cruel world punisher of my soul

Tis not the sound of her
Baying at my door
For my sense of sound deceives me
Yet love holds me tight

Play not with my feelings oh lord of the ******
Just let one more night belong to us
For I am nothing come the morn
And by the light of this nights moon
She will be gone

In my bed we lay tonight
Softest skin
I hold so tight
I close my eyes and think of us
Making love
Tonight

I breathe your scent
Deep inside
And all your worth
Fills my life
For now you are my star

Auburn hair infused with honey
As patchouli dances upon
Skin so silken
How my head is full of you
My one true love tonight

To feel love one must first
Build a ladder of
Inner knowledge
Then climb the way
Into your own heart

We stood in silence on that morn
Waiting for the call
Cold and bitter bites the wind
As the mortars fall
Eyes so wide fear so strong
Each man waits in turn
For soon the sound will approach
To signal the final spur
Brothers in arms
One by one
Climb above the dirt
Since will fall before the start
Other's hear the call
To battle then my bravest sons
For freedom and the love
Not one life dies in vain
A soul carried by the dove
With dread and fear in their hearts
The final push begins
To save this land and all we love
Our closest dearest kin

The guns did roar the sounds of death
Heavens skies cried
As draped in blacken smoke
They hide
The day men did fall

Brave hearts beating inside each man
Eye's wide with fear
Holding onto memories deep
Of loved ones
Shrouded in tears

The guns bellowed and death did rain
Upon the muddy fields
Men fell to the earth
Alone lost and pain

As death walked the sodden ground
Looking at the fallen
One man glimpsed a shining light
From heaven it was calling

Reaching out with a bloodied hand
A heart slowing down
He praised the lord above
For this was his thorny crown

Another roar and the mighty fell
The guns they called to all
No soul should live
For this day they give
To the iron dictators
One and all

I held you tight and stayed awhile
As the tears stung my cheeks
My heart it breaks into shattered sorrow
And the night glares upon my grief
While the pale moon seems to cry
And stars dim the light

I never told you so many things
As time was supposed to be forever
But now the soul that I knew
Lies cold and still
Waiting to be released

I cannot promise that I’ll
Find happiness once more
As my love died tonight
And the darkness
Begs at my door

She wore a scarlet letter
So all could see her now
The harlot of the village
Her head now a bow
Forbidden love
It came to her
Washed her like a summer spring
Her smile born from happiness
Until the dark was seen
Her heart it loved
She knew no wrong
But alas it was a curse
For his love was taken
Already held
By the woman he did marry
So now she wanders so alone
The cold it bites so harsh
And stares they eat away
In her heart
She truly knows
That love will find a way

Abandoned by the cold hands of love
Feel the ice flowing into my heart
Dearest winter why thou do you cull
My sunshine for your soul

Tis it not enough the trees lay bare
And the ground becomes barren
Songs of the winter thrush do pierce
The stillness of your
Chilling breath

I see you cry icicles
As lonely your heart doth bare
Just let me hold you close
To dream of summer fair

For now my winter
I must hide
Beneath skins of great brown bears
Until you fall in love with me
Your ice I shall replace with warmth
And love you
With heartfelt care

Flutter by butterfly
Dancing on the air
Wings of rainbows
Painting hues
For all of us to see

The sweetest taste that lingers now
Is the salty tears that you cried out loud
As deep within this tiny room
You and me
Now play a game

You see I'm not a lucky man
With girls upon each arm
Not even blessed with good looks
Or treasurer to adorn

I'm a sniveling wreck
A poor excuse
The one that they all hate
But here with you in this room
The excitement just can't wait

Yes I know why choose me
I hear you ask me now
But I don't care for your thoughts
Just strip and show me how

Ah your naked form is just right
My blade and I are happy
Now no more screams of tears of hope
Now come here to daddy

Yes I'm sick a ******* mess
A loner of the world
But my dear please confess
How much you love me so

Enlightenment lays at the end
For you it's sad but true
And come the light
Of the morn
No one will remember you

Do you understand the want in me
Reaching out the hand of
Hope
No I don't think so

Why couldn't you just say
I love you today
Insted it's all
Black clouds and tainted linings

I'll never hate or despise
I mean, **** those eye's
They draw me in
To sleep with a soul
That's dark and twisted
You know

Look I've said it now
**** can't you forgive
Do you know how
Yeah that's it tempt me back
Laying upon the bed
Like that

Jeez I over think
Just forget it
My life sinks
Deeper into this pit I've dug
Yeah that's right
I knew once of love

Sweet darkness come to my dreams
Hold me in your arms
And kisss me sweetly
For I know not what the nighttime
Brings

Let your shadows
Dance upon my heart
And your blessings of
Nightly shade
Hold me in your breast

My mind is now yours
And I prey that you will comfort
Don't hide away until the sun rises
Stay with me and love me
For alone I am
Waiting for you

I can feel you creeping
Into my world
Come
Play the savior
And let me drink from
Your darkest chalice

Did the shadows hide tonight
Afraid of the ***** night
At the hand of fate
Holding the blade
So tight

Hounds of hell wait to see
If it will strike with ease
Sweeping through the silent air
Looking for skin so fair

Beeded sweat gathers now
Upon a carefree brow
For ****** is of the hour
From Satan's little helper

Come taste the pain oh it's good
Let no man say it should
Never hurt or go away
When dark hearts come to play

So farewell you snivelling *****
There's no one here to stitch
The wounds that I'll inflict
With my darkest heart

Come to me little soul
Take that dress down and show me
All that hell can promise me
Little girl my prize my goal

Locked inside a dark cold place
Sunshine never gonna kiss your face
I've snatched before and will do again
Once my hands have culled and slain

Your soft flesh how it tingles now
As needles caress
Your heartbeat skips when harm does call
I'm your ******* nightmare
Baby doll

Stop the crying now wash your hair
Put this dress on
No I don't care
For I'll put the fear of God
Inside your warm hot
Motherhood

The final hours now rock by
At my hand and rope you will die
I'll be of to find anew
Another little soul
Just like you

Still my body lays interred
Earth now cover
Silence now baits
Wasted breath upon
Goodbyes

Closed are my eyes to the world above
Yet all around I see
How this life I led
Made me bleed

Rain shall soak this frail soul
And the sickness cleaned
From a heart that couldn't love
Have pity on me
Until the sun sets

Then wipe away all sorrow felt
For a lost man lays deep within
And the wind blows
So harsh and cruel
Upon a wasted day

I stare at the empty page hope grips my heart
And wonder if the words will flow will there be a start
It’s not easy when nothing comes and time stands still
Why do you leave me in despair nothing seems to say how I feel or how I care
My words just fly away
Am I trying just too hard pushing all the while
Pages bleed their naked forms **** I can’t even smile
Out the window life is abound yeah can’t even write about about the ****** sounds
Growing more frustrated blood is gonna boil
Then a voice says calm your soul don’t get into so much toil
Words find you and they truly will
close your eyes and see them sitting still
Just wait a little while and it will become clear
Then let the heart write them down for all eyes to peer.
