If only I was not a nonagenarian
so old, they will see that I'm an alien
if I could just press the hash tag key
they would only see me as a monkey

If only, yes if only, I was not harsh with battle cries
treading waters gentle, making no ripples
but no not me, never so gently
when I storm, I storm millions of people

Know my little pretty things
see the magic that they hold within
yet life fades fast once again
before I get too frail and old

Rest for me
if only
death for me
if only

They do not know that I am dying
man it's a miracle I'm still alive
but I know sweet, it will not be long
I am in so much ****** pain
coughing blood every day

Oh yes I can dream
but I am dying
I am just a shell
and good god am I dying

I reckon a year if I fight hardy
but I have fought for so ****** long
yes Neon Solaris is dying
so if you were me , how would it be

I am trying to amend all my sins
you know get it all out
I don't want to die
but I am truly dying

Hush I really should
as I am now a child of eve
but soon I will be gone
and angel again I will be

Feel the power within her
we are going to hyper drive
watch as the mother folds space
as the star drive kicks in

She is so sleek and black
a machine of pure beauty
feel the build up
before she flies

The top of the crop
the cream of the cream
they begged to voyage with her
but captain chose the numbers

They are so **** proud
so ready for anything
so here we go my loves
as she kicks in

Hold tight my kin
we mean to break every record
show them the art
of what is causality

Blue to red
lets just shift
time and space
now folds for us

By the time the fireman got there
the blaze at Cherry Orchard raged
and as they looked at the inferno
they knew not many would be saved

The orphans on the second floor were screaming
as the fireman tried to quench the blaze
some pulled out blankets
to see how many they could save

They lined up against the walls
with blankets held so taut
whilst their brave colleagues
with fire biting they fought

Then from the windows the children began to jump
it was catch, splat, catch, splat, the poor little things
it was a most terrible sight to behold
the tragedy a box of matches can bring

The tragedy at Cherry Orchard
yes it was a tragic affair
and me being a witness
well, I wish I was never there


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

See the path of suffering
it's not one to walk down
but if you want to help people
it's a path you have to walk

Don't ask for applause or adulation
it does not work in that way
it's just blood sweat and tears
much emotional pain just to save

Wear your heart on your sleeve
never let them know of your goodness
it's a better way than to get too involved
just try to hide your emotions

Know you have to suffer for them
just to lift them off their knees
care for them
and truly love them

My private world is a special place
it's my magical sanctuary
I dwell there when tears fill my eyes
and in my desperation I create happy things
making things better in my private world

My private world is forever mine
my world of all secrets uncovered
the wonders of the universe
my libraries contain them all
and the voices of gods speak

I land sometimes their
listening to them chatter
knowing that I rule them all
as I still have the broken sword
that sword of many conflicts

My stronghold, my land
this is the place I feel safe
here I can never die
yes this is my comfort
this is my private world


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

What wonders I have seen
life in all it's myriad of beauty
in those younger days
innocence reigned supreme

Yet all my hopes of a good life
with the songs of love resounding
no, all I hear are the drums of battle
the first time I did, I lost my innocence

Now my sword is drenched in the blood of my foes
and all the dreams I had, have now dissipated
fighting to bring peace, does not really make sense
all I want back is my childhood innocence

They say, a warrior is always a warrior
they say. they don't change their spots
but I still believe I need not them attack
as all I want is my innocence back
