Poet Introduction
Been writing songs since I was nine. I can't be the judge of when they started being good, but I have a massive backlog that I'm going to be dumping here. Possibly all of them, even though a lot are rather embarrassing.

Benign To Begin
A fluff-loving, cute and cuddly boy.
Never had a thought in his head to destroy.
Meant all the right things.
Oh, a child of kings.
Can't quite understand.
Why there's blood on his hand.
Yeah, he made the wars.
Yeah, he called them ours.
He was benign to begin.
Now he's living in sin.
A scepter and a sword.
He gains every reward.
He hears the sounds.
He looks down at the ground.
Where widows cry and children weep.
The strong men die, assassins creep.
Through the night.
Another...

The Real Thing
Come one, come all.
It's time to fall.
Hear the call.
Let's play ball.
It's the real thing.
Yeah, it's the real thing.
Oh, it's the real thing.
The real thing.
One, to keep score.
Two, to hit home.
Three, to be an umpire.
Four, to throw the ball.
It's the real thing.
Yeah, it's the real thing.
Oh, it's the real thing.
The real thing.
Can't catch a fly ball.
Can't catch a curve ball.
Can't catch a foul ball.
Can't catch the stupid ball!
It's the real thing. ...

Ironhide
Writing on the wall.
Can't read it at all.
Engraved with a stone.
Words save me alone.
Explode, fireball.
Full load, overhaul.
Blow holes in the caves.
Gas, spark, no one saved.
Burning like a match.
Burning down the hatch.
The smoke and the steam.
Kills everyone it seems.
Drink it, feel no pain.
Quick death in the rain.
Lethal trip to ride.
To drink cyanide.
Army of roses.
Looking down their noses.
The world is mine to rule.
Rebels, naught but fools.
Copy, lawsuit...

Simulator
When the sky is gray.
Get the guy to pay.
Brighten up your day.
In the usual way.
When your friends escape.
And the windows break.
Oh, the Earth will shake.
In the usual way.
Everybody stand.
For the iron hand.
Killing on command.
In the usual way.
Well, we found new road.
Ready, lock and load.
Messing with the code.
In the usual way.
Simulator.
What's real, what's not.
Simulator.
Who's healed, who's hot.

Nice wheels, nice day.

Iron&Steel
The trees will fade away.
Years and years from today.
Not one man will remain.
In this joyless game.
Oceans will dry up.
Burn under the sun.
The sun itself will die.
Up in the bright blue sky.
Words of love won't last.
As said in the past.
They always turn to dust.
Just as a man, they must.
Love's lost its appeal.
Zealots lose their zeal.
The music lost its feel.
Nothing seems quite real.
Pop don't make a splash.
Country has no flash.
Classics just don't dare.
Folk is barely...
Years and years from today.
Not one man will remain.

How To Die
Raise your voice.
Make your choice.
Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg.
The matrix's machines.
Get high on chlorine.
Pick a horse to ride.
Pick a war to fight.
Pick a jet to fly.
I'll show you how to die.
The warriors rage.
On the bloodstained stage.
Fighting for justice.
All against malice.
Stuck in a steel cage.
Listening to the mage.
I cannot resist.
Baby, just one kiss.
Raise your voice.
Make your choice.
Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg. ...
Make your choice.

Jackals
Green flames and dark times.
She blames the dark ice.
Sea screams and light climbs.
She pleads for her life.
Lasting friendship never fails.
Midnight trains do not derail.
I am ignoring catcalls.
From the imploring jackals.
In the night, what creeps by?
Lovers do, lovers lie.
Tell the truth for your life.
Maybe you'll keep your wife.
Lasting friendship never fails.
Midnight trains do not derail.
I am ignoring catcalls.
From the imploring jackals.
The pyramid rises on the horizon.
Worn...

Legacy
Debauchery and treachery.
Your legacy of filth.
For heresy, reap misery.
Like leprosy you will.
Like morning follows nighttime.
Standing out in the courtyard.
Enraptured by the white light.
Your family name is marred.
Make your wish you child of traitors.
I'll tell you this, I will do you no favors.
So what is it that you want from me?
Unholy and lonely, you live infernally.
Make a deal with me and become more than you can dream.
You can choose to save or rule the world, or kill all humanity.
I will...
Your legacy of filth.

Clockwork Spine
I used to stand alone in the rain.
Waiting for a friend to come by.
All my lonely tears spiraled down the drain.
Making my head spin as I cried.
I used to hunt the streets at night.
Searching for prey so I could survive.
Holding to hope I would not be alone.
Now I'm on my way, I'm on my way home.
So please believe me when I say.
I'd never throw your cares away.
I'll trust in you time after time.
I couldn't see your malevolent design.
Skeleton hands and clockwork spine.
Painting red around my face. ...
Waiting for a friend to come by.

Right, have you heard the gypsy song?
Do you wanna sing along?
To the tune of madmen's screams.
How my heart could be so broken.
When this light shines over me.
Wrong, have you seen the blinding light.
Have you seen the saints at night.
In the runes in monster's dreams.
What could make it go unspoken.
With what you said to Jesus as he flew up into heaven in that movie that you love, oh man.
So they say you might as well.
But there's nothing left to tell.
About this world that's turned to hell.
The time has come,...
Do you wanna sing along?
To the tune of madmen's screams.
How my heart could be so broken.
When this light shines over me.
Wrong, have you seen the blinding light.
Have you seen the saints at night.
In the runes in monster's dreams.
What could make it go unspoken.
With what you said to Jesus as he flew up into heaven in that movie that you love, oh man.
So they say you might as well.
But there's nothing left to tell.
About this world that's turned to hell.

Heaven Holds Dear
I can't hold on.
I can't face the night.
I can't cling to you.
I can't stand to lie.
Sometimes I wanna forget everything.
Sometimes I wanna die.
Sometimes I think of something.
That'll make you wonder why.
I shed all the tears.
All the fears.
And all heaven holds dear.
I don't need to be weighed down by guilt.
That's not why my heart was built.
I can see what's in your heart.
I can see every part.
I can see the way it starts.
And I don't need you.
To carry me home on my shield.
No...
I can't face the night.
I can't cling to you.
I can't stand to lie.
Sometimes I wanna forget everything.
Sometimes I wanna die.
Sometimes I think of something.
That'll make you wonder why.
I shed all the tears.
All the fears.
And all heaven holds dear.
I don't need to be weighed down by guilt.
That's not why my heart was built.
I can see what's in your heart.
I can see every part.
I can see the way it starts.
And I don't need you.
To carry me home on my shield.
No...
