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.

Forgotten Hope
Now where did you go?
You didn't want to show.
You didn't say.
What did you know?
When you wanted to go.
So far away.
Once all the trials have passed.
You know I have to ask.
Why would you want me?
How can I be on your team?
Why would it seem.
You don't really mean.
For it to be.
And I don't know how I cope.
When I had forgotten hope.
And I'm hanging on a rope.
If I don't remember my forgotten hope.
Now how do I say.
You didn't want to pray.
Out on your own.
...
You didn't want to show.
You didn't say.
What did you know?
When you wanted to go.
So far away.
Once all the trials have passed.
You know I have to ask.
Why would you want me?
How can I be on your team?
Why would it seem.
You don't really mean.
For it to be.
And I don't know how I cope.
When I had forgotten hope.
And I'm hanging on a rope.
If I don't remember my forgotten hope.
Now how do I say.
You didn't want to pray.
Out on your own.

Space Station Magia
Launched into outer space.
Far beyond the atmosphere.
Sent to save the Human race.
From evil lurking far and near.
Love to fight, shoot to kill.
Blow the planet into dust.
Fight to win, fire at will.
Your mission will be space or bust.
Lightyears away, the Witch alarm goes off.
Frantic preparations, still a hundred years away.
Last line of defense against eldritch abominations.
Built to thrive in celestial confrontations.
Space station magia.
Spinning round the Earth with nothing but it all to lose.
Space...
Far beyond the atmosphere.
Sent to save the Human race.
From evil lurking far and near.
Love to fight, shoot to kill.
Blow the planet into dust.

Silicon Surface
Travelers through space.
Cosmic twists in fate.
We're searching for a home.
And we've come to this place.
A barren world of stone.
Wasteland dry as bone.
On this dead world's face.
We are not alone.
The cruel desert stares me down.
The mountain's rock face mocks me now.
Under endless stars, this is where I land.
So from its sands I build my crown.
Freezing night times, workers strand.
Burning days, baked on the sand.
Incinerated by glowing red hot mounds.
Drowned in toxic pools, we need a plan.

Reaching For Me
The time is coming and I have to go.
You understand me more than I can know.
But through it all I never look away.
I'll never trust someone like you anyway.
I am here to fight for what is right.
Though I don't quite know what that is.
The darkness bites and gives a fright.
In searing white, I plan to give.
Burning pain inside.
A pain I cannot hide.
Creatures of the night.
Swarm around the light.
Heavens will divide.
And I see a hand reach for me.
Victims terrorized.
For your wounded pride. ...

Creeps From The Deep
You see its eyes just before it strikes.
You're sinking down, far below the light.
Into the abyss where the water's thick.
Heavy on your lungs like an ice cold brick.
Your ears pop in and your eyes burst out.
As your chest begins to crush, you shout.
But no one's there to hear you scream.
In this nightmare, but it's no dream.
You took the plunge, you took the leap.
You abandoned all the vows you keep.
And from the dark you see them seep.
They're coming for your soul to reap.
It's the creeps from the deep.

The Villainous Voices
I am not here to earn any fame.
To gain for myself power and glory.
I do not care if you've heard my name.
But I am the hero of this story.
But now the voices start to call.
Taunting me with forked tongues.
The pressure's building up, I'll fall.
But not before this fight is won.
Despite what they tell me.
Against all of their claims.
I will have my victory.
Even if nothing else remains.
I am the ghost of horrors long past.
Fate is my weapon, from heaven cast.
Strong is my fortress, feeble my...

Martin The Warrior
Martin the warrior.
The son of Luke.
Essence of history.
Spirit of truth.
The epic conqueror.
The tyrant's fall.
Comes from a distant land.
To heed the call.
The broken sword.
Tied around his neck.
He carries in shame.
To a far off wreck.
Martin the warrior.
The son of Luke.
Mysterious traveler.
To seek the truth.
He reached the mountain.
Volcano of the fire god.
The ancient forges.
So old even time forgot.
Reforged his sword.
With steel from a fallen star. ...

Striker
Not guilty!
The crusher, the speeder, the fire.
Defender 'gainst evil empires.
Endless rain.
Eden's claim.
The power, the dealer, the buyer.
Destroyer of worldly desire.
Ancient force.
Stay the course.
This is not the time to leave it all behind.
I have a duty to all mankind.
Striker!
The killing blow.
Scream for the show.
Beyond the unknown.
Where can I go?
Striker!
The cause, the fight, and the goal.
The monster who steals your soul.
Take off the chains.
Be free...

Sowing Darkness
The century is turning.
The world beset by war.
A young queen risen to power.
Rotten evil to her core.
Taken to by foolish angels.
Who promise her a wish.
A magical great miracle.
They gave unto a witch.
Down in the castle.
She knows what awaits.
By the time they know what she wants.
It's too late.
Sowing darkness.
Selling the crown.
To be immortal.
Tearing it down.
Burning the world.
And spreading disease.
Become the ruler.
Or die on your knees.

Life's Not Fair
I always thought I loved you.
From days that passed me by.
In bygone times I'd hope to.
Be with you, I don't know why.
It doesn't really matter anymore.
There's no place for me in your life.
And I can't see a future for you.
Where I could ever be your wife.
I seek to find how you might love me.
But I know I can't be sure.
When hard times took me.
I opened that new door.
When half your time is spent alone.
Wandering the streets in the night.
Fighting unholy spirits on my own.
I need a place where I...

Mandalore On Fire
Come to my arms, brothers of war.
Singing the hymns written of lore.
Put on your armor, meet on the front.
Brandish your blade, you only die once.
Come now my brothers, I'm ready to die.
So are you all, so fight till death's sigh.
Burning with vengeance, a warrior sound.
Escaping our mouths and it's shaking the ground.
For honor and pride.
And I will die by your side.
Mandalore on fire.
Ruler of a thousand swords.
Mandalore on fire.
Soldiers of the final war.
This is my afterlife, Valhalla awaits. ...

Bulletstorm
I am the protector.
You are my disciple.
But I don't expect you to go easy on me.
You can't be a defector.
But I won't be liable.
For what happens to you today.
Bulletstorm.
Pummeling the ground.
Blacking out the sky.
Destroying everything in sight.
Bulletstorm.
Time is under your control.
But you are under mine.
Should have known I wouldn't let you go.
Glad to see that you still care.
And so my ribbons bind.
I admit this fight was never really fair.
