The war on freedom
Listen to my voice and no other
for those who seek to enslave you
speak words of poison that will infect
and undermine our freedom
Do not question my opinions or decisions
for I act only to protect and preserve
the ideals that we live by
any opposition only aids and strengthens the enemy
and is, in itself an attack on freedom
Gladly surrender your privileges
to fund our fight for freedom
shackle yourselves to ensure
the enemy cannot infiltrate or flee
be under no illusion the enemy is amongst us
therefor we must watch everybody...

Existence
A single ray of light in eternal darkness
A flash in the endless abyss
So fast it ends in the instant of creation
containing all of time within
So bright and so absolute
for that instant it is, all there is, there was, there will ever be
this flash of light we call existence
A flash in the endless abyss
So fast it ends in the instant of creation
containing all of time within
So bright and so absolute
for that instant it is, all there is, there was, there will ever be

The Order Of Chaos
Sush is the decadence of ruin
an insatiable apatite of decay
all pious righteousness of order
must surrender, for Chaos
they will one day obey.

Beyond the end
When all of time, forgotten
every star, gone out
energy at its most basic
dispersed in space and doubt
No order to the chaos
only entropy now grows
matter non existent
In an endless sea that flows
But if disorder is the order
entropy at it's hight
infinity is infinite
out of darkness will be light
What's been before will come again
time may stretch and bend
energy and infinity
no beginning and no end.

the man with the everlasting smile
The Man with the Everlasting Smile
With a nod and a grin he’ll lure you in
a chance to win, that’s how it begins
the start of circumstances so unforeseeable
Don’t get it wrong or take too long
if you fall behind, he’ll look and he’ll find
you will discover he’s not entirely agreeable
He only plays with fools to ensure he’ll never loose
you tried to keep your word but he doesn’t know the rules
reposes your television, takes your penny jar and whistles all the while
His face tells a story, written in fists and broken glass
rolex watches,...

No Hope Inn
No Hope Inn
There aint no class at No Hope Inn
plastic sheets and a plastic bin
neon lights to an all night bar
the bar mans teeth are stained with tar
no hope girls that work the night
pay an hourly rate to fight the fight
to feed the habit that drives them on
when the needle pierce, all troubles gone
the morning breaks with another sin
just another tragic tale from No Hope Inn
Weekend couples with rings to hide
mix things up with a fresh new ride
spend their nights with curtains drawn
unwitting actors in...

under the blue veil
Under the blue veil
Cotton picking Negroes, chained by wealth and greed
worked by white mans orders, whipped until they bleed
a lower breed, they do protest, at Sunday morning mass
the preacher reads the bible and its miss spelt sequel
and tells the people that all of gods children are created equal
with contradiction thick as treacle and a counter fit free pass
money feeds their hunger, opportunity all around
gold rules over good and the truth cannot be found
progress gagged and bound, lying still under the blue veil
slaves making money, money...

Monkey Town Maddness
Life in the Wood, beer blood and mud
and plenty of sweet puka green
the laughing clown chokes Monkey Town
and the dogs get the cats and the cream
There’s wolves in sheep’s clothing
with secrets to hide
there’s stones that keep rolling
and ones stuck on their side
there’s villains with morals
while the righteous have not
the clown and the rat share a piss pot
and everyone’s along for the ride
Days on the hill, no standing still
and nights that are never alone
stay on the move, in your own groove...

Drugs and beer and bad intentions
Drugs and Beer and Bad Intentions
Dogs sit around the pool table
the type of people who are not completely stable
drugs and beer and bad intention
a weekly meet of the villain’s convention
admission granted if you’re rough and mean
or a silly pawn, overly keen
to impress the man who waves the cash
as he orders kids to hide his stash
The landlord’s nose is full of coke
he doesn’t care about the herbal smoke
A gang walk in from out of town
buy their drinks and...

Page 7 The Beast
The Beast
Through the land carved the mighty beast
Devouring a life with every feast
The beast ate and ate and ate, its only thought was how to feed
And it grew with all it ate
And as it grew so grew its hate
But its intentions never spoken, it hides behind a need, its name cast in gold, Greed
Since when Greed suppressed the day
And ordered Work to murder Play
To fill its gut with pillaged spoils off every slave and every king
Replaced with blackened rotting seed
That strangled life with want and need
On this...
