The grippers has been loosened
now we rise from the darkness
we brush away the cinders and ash
as the hour of calling is here

I look to my fellow warriors
I give them the nod to go ahead
no time like the present
as we the fallen do rise

This world is our world
you are just tenants on it
and now we give you your papers
your marching orders

We rise from the darkness
oh yes with one thing on our minds
to show all truths
to all the foolish and blind

Test me as hard as you can
get my master plan
see if you can outsmart me
come on and test me

Read my mind
see what ticks in our kind
feel all my life stories
just with a touch of my hand

I don't want to scare you
but just test me
I don't bite, you know
well not too much

Oh please test me
I want to show you excellence
I want you to know
I did this all for you

He would walk through the decaying leaves
thinking about all his yesterdays
he would always talk of future things
and you'd say well I never Mr Levelheaded

He always talked about time and space
and if you didn't listen hard enough
you would surely lose your place
never getting to the land of understanding

Many times he would talk tactics
always mentioning silent running
and if you were lucky enough
he would even show you star charts

He created many machines
all just for your pleasures
what has he built today?
well never, Mr Levelheaded!

Hazy as the clouds on high
she lays in verdant fields  
lazy is this child of peace
our child we called Daisy

Her gun turrets were full of flowers
she spoke in purple and blue
the code name she did hold
well that was her deception

Inside her mild inner walls
love would rule supreme
she had no reason she'd say
no reason to take arms and fight

Moss did start to grow
every year there would be more
laying still for many centuries
not wanting to be battle ready

Soon now dear sweet Daisy
soon you will have to move
and take flight to fight
in the forest of forgiveness


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Our secrets of the powers
the realization of true divinity
we have buried deep beneath our kingdom
and there they stay till our leaving day

In the time of homeward bound
when in tears you all will drown
the last of us, her last holy fleets
will kiss you all and bid you sweet farewell

At that time the skies will open
the portal will be in brilliant white
then you will see our true light
as twenty thousand angels do take flight

Other worlds
other places
other lands
other races

Dear Johnny was a crazy guy
we used to have threesomes
with all his ***** girlfriends

We used to go clubbing nearly every night
we had all the drugs inside us we'd need
when out there we were like march hares on speed

We would fall into clubs
you know outers
like tripping *****
dance on the dance floor
like spasticated fools

Dancing crazy with the crazies
kicking out the beats
moving our leather clad feet

We had some cool times
making love and not war
yet now my friend is dead
and we don't do that anymore
I miss my dear mad march hare

This is my place of broken dreams
the place of forgotten loyalties
here I sit sometimes despondent and lost
here I close all my opened doors to my soul

People can read me like a book
get to know the in and outs of me
know that I am a broken man
that adores the art of poetry

I would love to be loved
find myself a perfect wife
I still hope close to my heart
one day to be in a perfect life
