THIS HALLOWEEN
Become one with death
She is all that I have left
We won't let you die
Until you're terrified
Corpse-painted and black lipstick
Eyes that are deeper than the abyss
Adorned in the habiliments of doom
Her beautiful face under the moon
I CAN'T ESCAPE HER MADNESS
IN LOVE WITH HER DARKNESS
Blood-tainted by fell demons
Brains splattered on her feminine grin
Violent dementia running rampant
Rejoicing in smears of their excrement
On this Halloween
We will feast on your spleens
Rip wings of...

DRAG ME TO HELL AGAIN
She comes to me like a promise steeped in poison
With muttered curses and screaming madness
In which she bewitched this lich bound for the ditch
In flames I burn, the envy of darkness
O Lamia, there's no salvation beneath the steeple
Verses of original sin
O Lamia, bequeathed insanity by the people
Drag me back to Hell again
Spittle flies from the gypsy's lips, cracked and bleeding
Taloned fingers and abysmal blackness
So pure in her in turn she damns me to churn
In the void like fodder for the badness
O Lamia,...

FAUSTIAN BARGAIN
It seems she's eclipsed by the storm-wrought anxiety
Fatalities and pure agony weighing on my soul, torn asunder
A danse macabre amidst the lightning in the boneyard
Devil's postcard for this haunted bard in a stupor, a suitor to thunder
She screams her promises from shore to shore
Sucked me in with offers of fame and gold
In tight black leather she's so astonishing
But the luster is lacking, growing mold
My patience is waning
And her words are scathing
Let's get to the fucking
With the truth, engraving
Empty...

CHEF
As I walk these frigid caverns
The dead call to me
preserve the flesh
wrapped in plastic
Stripped down to the bone
Await the funeral pyres
apply deft touch
the chopping block
My artistic brush
Coats the meat with herbal butter
behold fresh kills
daily in hell
What culinary delicacies tickles your fancy
Frog legs and the eye of newt
Inside my witches' brew
As I gather the slaughtered with my necromancy
Bat wings and black widow webs
Adder's fork for the dead
I...

SATANICO PANDEMONIUM
"And now, for your viewing pleasure, the Mistress of the Macabre, the Epitome of Evil, the most sinister woman to ever dance on the face of this Earth. Bow your head. Kneel and worship at the feet of Santanico Pandemonium."
My heart flutters to the beat of your leathery wings
Will you take me to the moon and stars?
Suspend my beliefs in God and the death he brings
As we map the midnight sky with scars
She - Satanico Pandemonium
Shall take me to the other side
She - Satanico Pandemonium
Suck me dry for another life
...

CARNIVOROUS
Bleed until there's nothing but dust
And decay and a memory
Like a half forgotten nightmare
Left to fade into obscurity
Holding onto you by the skin of my teeth
Marching to the beat of the anthem of defeat
Lost all pretense of self control
Dive a little deeper until I self implode
Cant get any sleep for the knives in my back
Constant vigilance keeps me ready for attack
Deliver me from deliverance
Salvation is wasted on one so carnivorous
Spit the bones
Onto the carcass
Waste not, want not
Split...

REST IN PIECES
Bones in the earth and blood on my hands
Spirits around me at every turn
Sarcophagi await in the sands
Orchids arranged within to surely burn
The animalistic rituals
Held forever in canopic jars
Self-made god haunted and serial
Killing all endeavors in the dark
Cold to the touch
Embrace the dead
Bury the hatchet
In the head of words said
Chewing the corpse and left to my own
Devices, a history of bad luck
I hear white noise more than live tones
A fly in the spider's web of fuck
This shit it has left...

EPITAPH
You keep me locked away until
The sanguine thirst overwhelms you
And you ache to saw a little deeper
Then you forge another farce truth
There's no need to unfold
All the pain that's untold
I know you feel it too
Don't bother to read me your epitaph
Because I'm writing my own
Stop trying to be the only
One who will say
I've been in your shoes
I'm so full of hellfire and gasoline
That I want burn this motherfucker down
EVISERATION
DEVASTATION
Someone said pray to a god
I never loved

ACHERON
On these stygian waters we sail
with Marchosias as my guide
I ask, "O, Marquess, what have I done
with my life?"
Whimpering and cries of agony
are singing as chorus around them
He says, "O, Mortal, corruption is deep
in your heart"
as i look upon machosias his black wings unfurled
and flared above my sight. though i have witnessed
this demonic configuration before it shocked
me to my very essence every time. then he smiled.
"My dear miscreant, you were but a
vile man...

KICKING A DEAD HORSE TO DEATH AGAIN : TALK TO ME
Stuck
And lost the dream
Feeding the beast
Whatever that means
Fuck
Peel from the bone
Coming undone
And eating the gun
Don't take it for granted
Darkness lives
In my granite heart
Cannot empathize only terrorize
The page exist to be my world, myself
Once lush with skeletal trees and full moons
Now lay barren with apocalyptic doom
Haunt my pen like before
My friends, kindred spirits
TALK TO ME
Guide my hand like before ...
And lost the dream
Feeding the beast
Whatever that means
Fuck
Peel from the bone
Coming undone
And eating the gun
Don't take it for granted
Darkness lives
In my granite heart
Cannot empathize only terrorize
The page exist to be my world, myself
Once lush with skeletal trees and full moons
Now lay barren with apocalyptic doom
Haunt my pen like before
My friends, kindred spirits
TALK TO ME
Guide my hand like before ...

THE EYES OF A DEAD MAN
Divining eyes see no future
Destiny is left in doubt
Fate is such a cruel creature
Spoken from the devil's mouth
Nothing is what it seems
A cacophony of screams
Legacy of slaughtered dreams
You can't reach me
You can't touch me
You don't know me
You can't love me
Drowning in the cold abyss
Hang on a forsaken wish
I see life through
The eyes of a dead man
Contempt on every last face
Jealous angels weep no tears
Leave the odd ones out in disgrace
A world full of bitter fear
...
