Oh ,tyrant king of Babylon
Have you come by any sense
Who wages war on sons of Zion
With inadequate air defense

Toy soldiers of the eagle
Will come as dogs of war
Their guise being benevolence
Their true gift blood and gore

So it seems your problem is oil
Not consummation of lnnocence
Go plant your people in thirsty soil
Then propagandize self defense

For you are the beast of Baghdad
Your very seed affronts Mann and his kind
Another  American jackal  gone bad
And oh, what a jackal did we find

Now we sit glued to a TV set
Watching the towers crumble and fall
When sleeping with despots ya get what you get
Just part of the cost when america stands tall. Hy

Children of fire and ice
See how you lost your way
For your dreams evil
Always  a price
Now listen,
What I have to say
In his name
We have canvassed such misery
It must cease
This rage on the land
Acid rain, just tears of a deity
Reaping the the east winds last stand
And for those who demand silver
In his name
Think ******* these things that you do
This idiot poet
May say all's a game
But life is an accounting
And my soul is stained too
This is the world
That we live in
Make no mistake
There was always a plan
And of this tired existence
choking in sin
Long dark is coming
YOU understand?       Hy

I live the lie
Of the direwolf
**** what must be killed
Spilling lifeblood
Without conscious thought
Stolen innocence,
Being stilled
Therein lies the essence
Of what it is to be me
You are sheep in evenessance
Packaged meat you be
Though we share
The same tortured soul
Is less than nothing to me
You are prey
I am control
Feeding constantly
So take your gift of intelligence
Know fear throughout the land
Running now would make a lot of sence
For the hour of the wolf is at hand.           Hy

American arrogance
Notwithstanding
Our benevolence
Being unfurled
Ego and influence
Ever expanding
Now we' re policing
The whole ******* world
My father was bled in Korea
Cousins slaughtered in nam
Now the prize is Judea
Tell me why I should
Give a God damm
There is no stopping genocide
Human nature is covered in blood
Take this little fact
Mix in some pride
Leaves Africa swimming in mud
I don't care
What they do to each other
I have two sons
So I don't give a damm
Tell me why
You think I should bother
We will always be bleeding the lamb.        Hy

We are of supernova
Out of blinding
Wicked light
Starstuff filtered
By dreams of Jehovah
Was evolution
Evolved us the fight
From constructs
Of a periodic table
To the beast
That is modern Mann
Monkeys cursed with reason
And the need
To take all ya can
Don't  you ever wonder
Why you feel the way
You feel,
Calling down the thunder
When  one,
***** up behind the wheel
All of us feed the darkness
Ah, the voices in the head
Painting reality in madness
Makes us the walking dead.            Hy

War
I am war,
I am bleeding faith
Turn away once more
Indifference,
Is a killing grace
Whispering  misery
To innocence
Feasting at
Tears of despair
In untold numbers
The lives I have spent
To gift you
The death angels stare
I don't think people
Even realize
I was born
In the depth of their soul
Fading to black
Seething In lies
Being human
Is consuming you whole
Now listen at the weeping sky
Hear mother's raging
Watch children die
chaos being the stated goal    
Choke on war
Your share of the lie.            Hy
Henry Yarbrough May 2013
I have the night
To make peace  with my deity
And the rage to justify the end
Eyes burn bright
In a society ,
That  spews hatred
As if no longer a sin
I dreamed I was
Blood of the wolf
Scent of decadence
Reeks the essence of Mann
The nectar of  innocence
I have engulfed
Storms out madness
In a blight riven land
For you see now
The eater of sorrow
Sipping at the tears of the lnsane
As the long dark gives
Way to tomorrow
Then I shall consume
mortal pain.             Hy



I have engulfed
