POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Fool
Give me to the wolves, As an offering, A sacrifice
I don’t mind, I won’t beg, I won’t give in to you
Never will a tear be shed for your decisions
Never will my heart be yours to take
Bleed me dry, Drag me to the level you created
Crush my knees, Demand I bow before your feet
Break my bones, Make me bend to your will
You will never compromise the heart that beats against you
I wait so patiently, For the moment I have foreseen for so long
The escape I have been planning, The treason of unholy proportions
I will tear your foundation to the...

Grave Intentions
I was created for greatness, A monument to the hell inside
Whether it be for the people or my own selfish intentions
I will rise above my own affliction and ruined condition
To the stars I was promised the day I was brought to life
I always prayed for help, This sinner knows his shortcomings
I always begged for help, This plague knows his symptoms
I always reached for help, This hand was always burned at the stake
I never needed any help, I needed this hatred to fuel my fire
A bitter prophet thrown from the chariot in the sky
Destined to bring...

Another Angel
Take hold of tomorrow, Before it fades into the past
Let go of yesterday, If you want your future to last
Mistakes are chances to improve an ever-evolving foundation
Regrets are for the weak, Stand strong and scream with me
I was never alone, I have always given my all for this
We were never alone, I have always given my all for you
You were never alone, You have always given your all for others
Take my hand, Make your final stand, Tonight is our last chance
You will always struggle, You will always bleed and bend and break
Your veins will consume...

A Cursed Demon
Looking back, To all the angst and discontent
I realize we were never meant to be
Looking back, To all the fear and malcontent
I realize what I never wanted to see
You are the pure heart I could never wish to be
You are the pure soul I could never wish to consume
I am the blackened heart you could never wish to see
I am the blackened soul you could never wish to woo
Walk away, Never face me again
Run as far as you can, I’m burning again
Never speak to me, Lies spill from my throat
Never think of me, I hold a blade to my throat
...

Beginning of An Age
So sick of this fucking charade, This overly-joyous façade
All the fake smiles, All the tainted hearts feigning innocence
So fucking sick of this town, This overly-corrupted country
All the fake hearts, All the tainted words feigning truth
So fucking ready to burn it to the ground, With me inside it all
I will dig to the center of the Earth and consume my body and soul
In an explosion of fire and ash, I will bring this fucker to its knees
The whole fucking galaxy will bow before this sinner’s feet
Every motherfucker wishing me a good day, Stabbing me...

My Legacy
They could never know what pushes me forward
They could never know what drags me down
They could never know what pulls me back
They could never know what holds me up
I’m so sorry to my family and friends, This must seem so obscene
My journey has taken me through hell and back, And now I’m home
With stories of debauchery, crazy towns and broken jaws
The scars tell the lessons, While my voice is used to scream my legacy
I’ve seen the world, I’ve travelled the heavens and traversed purgatory
I shook hands with the devil, I held God with both hands...

Armageddon
Burnt, A steeple lays dormant against a sky gone wild
Forgotten, A pew lays latent against a ground gone stale
Burned, A priest lays hidden against a bible gone silent
Forgiven, A god lays asleep against a world gone mad
It’s Armageddon, they say, It’s the end of the goddamn world
I say it’s a break in their relentless acts, A pause in ghastly breath
They burn down our schools, Our forests, Our cemeteries are next
Skeletons out? Skeletons free? It’s the land of the fucking dead
It’s Judgment Day, they swear, It’s the disaster we’ve drilled for

Cursed Love
Everything I’ve done, Everything I’ve learned to love
Fell to pieces right in front of my gilded eyes
Everything I’ve found, Everything I’ve chosen to leave
Rose to heaven right in front of my hopeless eyes
We knew this couldn’t last, We knew this wouldn’t be
We could never escape the past, We couldn’t see beyond the sea
We knew we would give in, We knew we would give up
We were so weak to sin, We embraced death’s cup
I gave you so much, I gave you so little
I gave you every thought and ideal inside
My religion became the sun guiding you...

Kingdom of Virtue and Sin
Where does innocence go when it is pushed to the edge
When does innocence become a frail bone snapped in half
A frame is born, And cut down every day since
Peace must be found, This war is pushing me ahead to my death
My veins feel the bite, And succumb to the numbing pain
My blood feels the pulse, And succumbs to the numbing guilt
Trusting in my god, His arms slowly consume my every thought
As his nails dig into my mind, I’ve slowly gone ever so blind
A veil over my eyes, As he takes my hand and guides me through
This nightmare I find myself in,...

The Day We Fade Away
Don’t fail, Don’t fall, Don’t rise, Don’t call out to me
I am where you are, Next to you forever without exception
Don’t die, Don’t stay, Don’t lie, Don’t say you see
You know not what you claim, You swear by your foolish perception
I am your hope, I am your blood, I am the missing piece that puzzles you
Every second you spend crying out, Is a second you could be lying with me
I’m not saying I’m perfect, I’m not saying we’re perfect, But I will never give you up
As the war rages on, Between holy and insincere, I promise to stand by you always
...

Unholy Transformation
Beneath the mask, A scar clings to its maker
Above the eye, It reaches the rotten teeth
Grey in nature, But blackened by time
It still bleeds in me, It’s bleeding through cloth
I pray to replace my eyes with diamonds of clarity
For I once laid eyes on my savior, And have been blind ever since
I pray to replace my heart with a stone of purity
For I once laid my soul on the ground, And have been dead ever since
The ground gave way, The ground you promised was strong
I lost my way, I lost my face, Replaced by a uniform of unholy proportions

No Hope
This pride I hold for the demons in me
Never wanes, Never ceases to be
This honor I hold for the failure in me
Never fails, Never drowns in the deep
Hope always loses me, In the darkest of nights
Fades out, Fades in, With the coming tide
Hope always loses me, In the deepest of graves
Fools come, Fools go, With the rising light
Sunsets fade, With the beauty of a thousand words
A thousand words I could never speak or think to say
Sunrises fade, With the beauty of a thousand angels
A thousand angels I could never hold or fight to save
...
