rattling the bones
within my mystery I am calm
collected with confidence
I am calculated virtue it is practiced
chaste of soul with purification rituals
my spirit stays clean
I dabble in the dark but I don't let it take hold
you must look
whether you like it or not
be aware of what is
so with my black tablet
I conjure truth
entering in with a contract
a vow upon my lips
I will not stain Chastity
with a sacrifice of smoke
I begin my chant
my voice rises with the smoke
curling on the winds
it's...

cold
I am nothing in your void
where I am less than
it insults my tastes
I am an educated whore
speaking of things you don't understand
in my element I spin
speaking in metaphors
I greet you inside my madness
you've called on me
now share with me my disease
I will rape your hurt
and pillage your shame
in the deep neediness of your want
I will reap
a conjurer of lust
you can't deny in god we trust
I want you to see me in my nakedness
my truest form
cascading darkness falls in on...

Raphium Series~the Brotherhood
higher I cry, raise me higher
in the stellar rain insulting danger and scrying pain
blood drips from my grin
the rage becomes me and I sing
sullen filth will be done
in the cults a little liar
insidious want spells rebellion
I will not comply
picking secrets from my black tablet
releasing the energies onto the airs
and with a deep exhale connecting with the winds
spellbinding faith I am not concerned
among the eternally damned there is loyalty
I raise my fist and chant
war in the infernal storm...

Perhaps Underground
You think of a city, perfectly deserted,
and when someone asks what music
plays in their graveyard, a place
where nothing else exists, only bones
and in all his wisdom, God tells you
they are your mother’s and father’s bones
and their parents’ bones before them.
If you could pick any music to play
there, you would pick a violin concerto
and let it play until their eyes
no longer haunt you and their bones
are quiet and await with patience
all the splintered and crushed
bones of their children.

The Law of Dante
My soul engulfed by the crimson flames of vengeance
Fists like two hearts clad in iron, forever beating
Mine eyes locked on the acuser, piercing his veil of deceit
I gazed upon the two bloody instruments of violence
They were drenched in the once flowing life force of another man
I observed the disfigured corpse, and felt nothing
Now, my murderous extensions grasped the bars of confinement
It is nothing compared to the world in Dante's vision
In the isolation of my mind, there is always an inferno blazing
Fists like two hearts clad in iron, forever beating
Mine eyes locked on the acuser, piercing his veil of deceit
I gazed upon the two bloody instruments of violence
They were drenched in the once flowing life force of another man
I observed the disfigured corpse, and felt nothing
Now, my murderous extensions grasped the bars of confinement
It is nothing compared to the world in Dante's vision
In the isolation of my mind, there is always an inferno blazing

the martyrdom of existence
writing pain with blood
doors found once thought lost
to die and die again
just to feel alive
few would pay the cost
of martyrdoms' of pure existence
finding transcendence through sin
forever trapped within
a world of hunger and agony
walls come crashing down
love seeks red tinged lust
eyes dilate
ragged breathe gasping
the mind thrown to it's knees
now floats free
a tableau of horror on the bed
guttural screaming
raw nerves plucked like harp strings
and you smile in harmony
in an endless...

predator
sunk low in the unbearable abyss
avoiding the unknown,
what lies ahead in the mist,
waiting in the dark for someone carrying gifts
the time is neverending
holding fake smiles,
within the blending
wearing certain materials
keeping up his appearances to be perceived as threatening
written out scripts to perform
flaunting their perfume already worn
dreamy eyes to compel,
hiding the scars that had been torn
oblivious to believe this was how he was born,
shunning away of his truest form
...

Room Bound
Paper plates to avoid doing the dishes
A small garbage can so you don’t overfill the one we already have
Don’t say anything at all
Sleep in fear if you can sleep
Question everything you love
Think about those who betrayed you
Realize you live with monsters
A small garbage can so you don’t overfill the one we already have
Don’t say anything at all
Sleep in fear if you can sleep
Question everything you love
Think about those who betrayed you
Realize you live with monsters

I'll Call Her Rage
I stay in the darkest parts of your mind
Waiting to see when its finally time
Im dressed and ready to perfection
To break out and wreak havoc with great deception
All day long I try to pry
I tap the door I'm locked behind
You know im here so let me shine
Don't keep me here behind the line
I only want to play for a day
So let me out to desecrate some strays
I promise I'll make it worth your while
Once I've demolished all their smiles
If you wont let me the hell out
Take me somewhere I can scream and shout ...

in an instant
inside the fear I gasp
I beg to be released from this terror
long shadowy days
the beauty of the brightness
the garden shaded over with violence
calm is disrupted in an instant
with little time to think you have to use your instincts
life happens in a moment and so does death
horror can fall upon your head anywhere at anytime
I prepare in my mind and I pray I will be safe
I don't like feeling this way so I block it out
all the things that could go wrong
and the dark scenarios a person can face
my anxiety peaks...

Her Chains
After the wedding
He wrapped her in chains
Heavy naval chains
Every year he added another link
To tame and crush her
The pressure of the iron weight
Only made her stronger
And when she felt her knees
Begin to buckle
She broke free from her fetters
As if they were made of clay
He ran for his life
For he knew what he had done
She would have squashed him
Like a roach
Like a hornet
He wrapped her in chains
Heavy naval chains
Every year he added another link
To tame and crush her
The pressure of the iron weight
Only made her stronger
And when she felt her knees
Begin to buckle
She broke free from her fetters
As if they were made of clay
He ran for his life
For he knew what he had done
She would have squashed him
Like a roach
Like a hornet

I Am Hate
Black is my heart for I fill it with hate
My soul was born in a pit by satins gate
When you feel the darkness take hold
They say that's me so I'm told
For whoever is close you'll get a good dose
Of the darkness in me, to you I raise a toast
If you let my darkness inside
I promise I'll make it a wonderful ride
But I'm only lying
I love watching you dying
For I am hate which is fun
Im only here to block out your sun
Ask me to leave but I'll want to stay
I want to make it a gruesome day
To...
