Goliath's Throne
Goliath felt the stone for a brief agonising moment
Then as the dust and the living fled from the falling dead
David clutched the priest like a tyrant holds his people and said
Tell all weak enough to kneel that famine rides not in this city
The priest knew from the past
Not to contest a giant
When the flesh was stolen from Goliath's bones
David took an axe to Goliath's spine
Sending his skull to the carpenters
The priest watched David crush every other bone with a hammer
And a breeze stole Goliath from a worse king

Soulful Story
This story has a happy middle
And I need to tell it to you because if I don't
Then it doesn't have a happy middle
Gosh you're even prettier up close
So pretty you make the tongue lose memory
And legs feel like they had a lobotomy
Me talking to you now is just an exception to your rule
A reign I could only admire from afar
But I knelt with the rest of them in your church
You're so pretty that...
That...
A man would sell his soul just to talk to you
That wasn't a metaphor
I bought a story to say to you
The irony is that this...

The Master of Monsters
The less rules a monster has
The more feared it is forged to be
When a bat flies across the skies
You blink and a well dressed woman you see
With a look of thirst in her eyes
Who is faster stronger and older than any normal her or he
You just hold your cross and wait for daybreak
This is effective against any bottom feeder or The Queen
So many rules formed around the fangs
But none have the power to rule me
The bats have always followed my lead
Just like every wolf in every pack
Watch a man pure at heart says his prayes in moonlight...
