Eternity
You are the sun,
Your soul - a galaxy,
Swerving forever
Without an end
Or the beginning,
Pursuing the darkness,
Reaching for starlight,
Just to forget.

Countless lives,
One before another
Or after, sometimes,
It is hard to tell.
In kaleidoscope
Of this trivial violence,
Images shatter
Beneath static veil.

Lamplight
Again and again
Lost souls at bay,
Running away from
Errands and mistakes.

Again and again
To the safety, at last!
From horror of daylight
And haunting past.

Again and again
To the beacon we go.
No sense in the future,
So let it be gone!

Again and again
And again, just as soon.
'til our bodies meet
Beneath roiling moors.

Again, again,
For there is no reclaim,
And wallowing echo dies
Far, far away.

Hare
Through the fire beacons doom,
Coming down the ages.
Ancient enemy, once more,
Threatens fragile peace.

Youthful soul,
Expelled from graces,
With the eyes so full of tears,
Gives away her caring blessing,
Lest the hour comes amiss.

Knave and *****, forever bound,
With the dangers yet unshared,
Banish hatred's blackest shroud,
Unaware what future held.

And the guardian, unbroken,
Soars away into midnight.
While the stories are spoken,
Someone ought to put them right.

Crusade
Unbent, always pushing,
We're trudging along.
Like holy crusaders
Invading your Prussia,
Oh, how I rush
To join the fray!

Never retreat!
Leave all hope forgotten
Behind, just like everything
We used to be.
Taunting, merciless,
In rage we've begotten,
Barely thinking,
You scream:
"Now we're through!"

And each time, remembering,
Old battlefield,
Where memory's mirror
Shows horses fall over
The lies, the betrayals,
Unconsciously near
The end,
Which doesn't mean anything real.

The battles well fought
Your strongholds on fire
From inside and out,
I have nothing left.
From no on, as always,
Numb down all desire.
Sharpen your weapons,
Pay the butcher's toll!

— The End —
