Bang and Clatter
Bang and clatter, clickity clack your head goes racing down the track
Crash and shatter, broken pane
Oops looks like you just lost your brain
Body slumps forward
Skulls on the lawn
Top of the stairs I’m still watching
Smiling, waiting
Laughing, laughing
All the way down
Crash and shatter, broken pane
Oops looks like you just lost your brain
Body slumps forward
Skulls on the lawn
Top of the stairs I’m still watching
Smiling, waiting
Laughing, laughing
All the way down

All I ever wanted
My love,
I hate you, at least I did before
I dont feel it so much anymore
I felt it burning inside my chest
As you walked out the door with her
but I dont hate you anymore
I ran into her yesterday
the girl that you picked when you walked away
dont worry I left her at your front door
neatly wrapped and tightly packed
with garbage bags galore
p.s this settles the score
I hate you, at least I did before
I dont feel it so much anymore
I felt it burning inside my chest
As you walked out the door with her
but I dont hate you anymore
I ran into her yesterday
the girl that you picked when you walked away
dont worry I left her at your front door
neatly wrapped and tightly packed
with garbage bags galore
p.s this settles the score

Rainbows in Blood
Rainbow flickering over my ceiling I lay back watching lazy in the sunshine
Everything about this room is stillness
Warmth washes over me
A smile teasing at the corners of my mouth
Eyes closing slowly as my head turns to the side
Nuzzling deep into the sun warmed pillow
A red smear discoloring the tiny pink flowers that flutter over its surface
The blood runs from my mouth as my lips part just slightly
I can taste it on my tongue
Look again at the room and its stillness
See the walls splashed with color
How the rainbows of that crystal hanging in...
Everything about this room is stillness
Warmth washes over me
A smile teasing at the corners of my mouth
Eyes closing slowly as my head turns to the side
Nuzzling deep into the sun warmed pillow
A red smear discoloring the tiny pink flowers that flutter over its surface
The blood runs from my mouth as my lips part just slightly
I can taste it on my tongue
Look again at the room and its stillness
See the walls splashed with color
How the rainbows of that crystal hanging in...

Tick Tock
I'm still awake
the clock is ticking its nearly six
I'm watching the numbers change slowly
one by one
were coming close to seven now
I blink and wonder where the time has gone
where that hour has gone
have I slept?
...no this is no dream
the clock is ticking its nearly six
I'm watching the numbers change slowly
one by one
were coming close to seven now
I blink and wonder where the time has gone
where that hour has gone
have I slept?
...no this is no dream

Trial by Life
The ache for power in man manipulates all.
Like love though it is as essential as breath.
As blood.
With only fleeting truth to tell of the beauty.
In death.
An eternity of watching.
As dreams fall fast to shadows.
Like love though it is as essential as breath.
As blood.
With only fleeting truth to tell of the beauty.
In death.
An eternity of watching.
As dreams fall fast to shadows.

Little toy doll
Click, Click, Click went the key
Step step step went the little doll
Round and round the pink carpeted floor of her little girl's room the sound of her laughter making the little doll smile though her expression never changed.
Click, Click ... step step round and round she went
now as the dust gathered around her on the shelf surrounded by other forgotten toys she thought of those days long since passed a small tear tracing through the dust on her cheek.
her expression as ever unchanged.

Valkyrie
Fires rain from the sky burning the wings off those in the left flank
"Keep together" their leader shouts as they fly on watching friends and comrades plummet to the ground below
"We have to win for our clans and homes"
They cry together as one voice sweeping onwards over the burning landscape they charge into battle
Will any of us live?
Friends dieing all around but we fight onwards, for war is like that ..and hate runs blindly forward

Prevaer of lost souls
the dead walking
lost and alone
lead along with a gentle hand
the moonlight glittering off the curve of my scythe
come my little ones ..
my lost souls
let me lead you into light
lost and alone
lead along with a gentle hand
the moonlight glittering off the curve of my scythe
come my little ones ..
my lost souls
let me lead you into light
