The cradle rocks from side to side
Sleep and Death lay together inside
Singing their favourite lullaby

When your heart is heavy
When your mind is full
When your body is weary
Your spirit we will pull

The cradle rocks from side to side
Sleep calls dreamers to lay beside
Singing his favourite lullaby

When your heart is unspoken
When you mind runs astray
When your body is broken
Your spirit I'll call away

The cradle rock from side to side
Death calls the lost souls inside
Singing his favourite lullaby

When your heart is cold
When you mind fades away
When your body is old
Your spirit I'll call away

The cradle rocks from side to side
As I walk among those it calls inside
Singing my favourite lullaby

My heart is heavy and unspoken
My mind is full and runs away
My body is weary and broken
My spirit please pull and call away
My heart is not yet cold
My mind is not yet faded away
My body is not old
Yet my spirit longs for the day

I eat unendingly some days
Gorging myself on sweets
Swallowing down meats
Yet the hole never goes away

I stand before a looking glass
Revolted by my bulging flesh

I forget to eat some days
Ignoring the pangs of hunger
Until I can take it no longer
Yet the hole decides to stay

I stand before a looking glass
Hoping to love my ugly flesh

I eat unendingly some days
Sickened by my pig like body
Disgusted by my ******* gluttony
Yet the hole eats away

The soul speaks only in whispers now
As it passes through the veil
Stay beyond the reach of death somehow
On your journey to prevail

To the cradle of Morpheus
The keeper of your dreams
Much like the journey of Orpheus
You traverse Hades streams

The soul creeps slowly through the gates
As it enters the world below
Stay beyond the eye of the all seeing fates
If back home you hope to go

To the cradle of Morpheus
The keeper of lost things
Much like the journey of Orpheus
Who played upon his strings

The soul silently to the cradle does sneak
As it peers at the sleeper within
Beyond the reach of the living world is what you seek
Climb in the cradle of Sleep and his twin

In the cradle of Morpheus
The keeper and his twin
Much like the story of Orpheus
You may not win

The soul climbs in and is filled with fear
As it hears that silent breath
Beyond the veil these twins draw near
In the cradle you will find Sleep and his brother Death

In the cradle of Morpheus
The keeper of lost life
Much like the story Orpheus
The man who lost his wife
Morpheus and Thanatos are two twin deity in Greek myth presiding over sleep and death respectively. Often in art they are confused with Eros due all three having wings

Lost in the labyrinth of Hekate
At a triple crossroads dance with me
As the New moon watches from up high
And her black birds cackle in the sky

As we dance a circle among the trees
Lost in the Labyrinth of Hekate
At the crossroads will you work your rite
As her black hounds circle tonight

By starlight will you call the Queen
Are you afraid to dance with those unseen
Lost in the labyrinth of Hekate
Owl Serpent and Horse are she

Will you slip into her ancient trance
As the Crone Witch joins in our dance
As is our will so mote it be
Lost in the Labyrinth of Hekate
Hekate(pronounced Heh-Ka-Tee)is an ancient Greek goddess often worshipped by Witches as a Dark or Crone goddess

Long ago he told me blood was the currency of souls
In those illuminated moments I was whole
As if under baptism I was bathed in flames
And over my soul a transfiguration came
As our blood on paper rose with the smoke
A bond of blood once a contract now a joke
As he keeps walking with a holy grace
I wallow in my self pity wholly a disgrace
As I realize after so many years they were only gestures
Every touch every kiss every word said by the Jester

Let the rain pour down on me
Wash away the blood on my knees
Because I've been praying so long
And I'm just not that strong
I've waited for heavens light
Waited for it to shatter the night
To sift through these empty eyes
And dig through my sad disguise
I've already fallen from gods grace
And into darkness' silent embrace
To a world of empty dreams
A heart torn apart at it's seams
God lay me down to sleep
With only my lonely dream to keep
Save me from this empty fear
Show me that you are here
Give me one reason to pray
Give me one reason to say
"God save me from my sin"
Maybe then I'll believe again

There is a darkness living inside me
I thinks he's been there since I was three
He laid dormant when I was five
When I was thirteen he came alive
At first he was weak barely a noise
But soon he became an ever present voice
He started to show me I was alone
He told me this world is not my own
I was separated from the other empty shells
I was locked in my mind a personal hell
The demon began clawing at my flesh
He became a force I could hardly supress
He crashed around inside my head for days
He became a force from which I couldn't run away
When I was sixteen I began to find some reprieve
But now that I'm eighteen I see he'll never leave
