- - - GREY MATTER LABYRINTH - - -

I dip my quill into the void
Of soot-stained clouds and blood drenched seas
Into the scorched earth soil
And the black sap of long dead trees
Tales around abandoned fires
Left all alone out in the cold
Ghostly tauntings and desire
Forbidden to bring you into the fold


Aristocrats and libertines
Twisting together, serpentine
Smoldering bodies
Stinking of kerosene
Apocalyptic and septic
Gothic daughters, anorexic
In throes under sheets
Until the load is spent

Vampiric rulers
And Lycan lovers
Fuck the beast
At the feast
Drive deep the stake
Beneath the covers

Celebrities are splendidly
Masquerading identities
Devils behind masques
Fade into obscurity
Those sodomites and cenobites
In solitude like troglodytes
Feasting on godless scraps
Late into the good night

Necromantic gifts
Death cannot resist
Kill the queen
For the scream
Drive deep the shaft
Oh, yes, I insist

The labyrinth of grey matter
Splattered on the walls of my skull
Poisoned thorns and red ruby thrones
Sits a devil soundly, proudly
Observing collected bones

You can find me anywhere
From beside the River Styx
To the spires of Jerusalem
The gates of Heaven’s steps
Remain barred with the emblem
Of an insane soul asylum

I may be bad
But I display my bodies proudly
I may be bad
But I bet I sleep more soundly

Ammunition and decisions
Offices of blind ambition
They will fuck the world
Demonic positions
Satisfaction in damnation
Those statues of imperfection
Weeping bitter tears
Under the oppression

Sorcery in rhyme
Set against the grime
Press the case
Truth debased
Drive deep the nails
In faceless faith in time

The labyrinth of grey matter
Splattered on the walls of my skull
Poisoned thorns and red ruby thrones
Sits a devil soundly, proudly
Observing collected bones

You can find me anywhere
From beside the River Styx
To the spires of Jerusalem
The gates of Heaven’s steps
Remain barred with the emblem
Of an insane soul asylum

I dip my quill into the void
Of soot-stained clouds and blood drenched seas
Into the scorched earth soil
And the black sap of long dead trees
Tales around abandoned fires
Left all alone out in the cold
Ghostly tauntings and desire
Forbidden to bring you into the fold
