HOUND OF HADES
Cerberus, hold me back
I can’t help my own Hell
The darkness all around us
The madness all around us
I relive my own Hell
Walk with me, Cerberus
I can hear their screams
And taste their pain
In my blackest dreams
And burning flames
From dead kings and queens
To meat and maim
Gracing tarnished screens
In dying games
Cerberus, hold me back
I can’t help my own Hell
The darkness all around us
The madness all around us
I relive my own Hell
Walk with me, Cerberus
Wear the Helm of Night
On this death head
Persephone lights
The way instead
Of the ways of fright
To my deathbed
Of silken delights
Sleep with the dead
Cerberus, hold me back
I can’t help my own Hell
The darkness all around us
The madness all around us
I relive my own Hell
Walk with me, Cerberus
Strip the flesh
Of eager ladies
Death’s embrace
And hate me maybe
Gnaw the bones
Rancid with rabies
At the throne
My hound of Hades
Ponder with me eternity
At the Asphodel Meadows
Ponder naughty Aphrodite
On the Mourning Fields ever nightly
Cerberus, hold me back
I can’t help my own Hell
The darkness all around us
The madness all around us
I relive my own Hell
Walk with me, Cerberus
Strip the flesh
Of eager ladies
Death’s embrace
And hate me maybe
Gnaw the bones
Rancid with rabies
At the throne
My hound of Hades

Still one of my all-time favorite creatures....there hasn't been much myth or folklore that doesn't suck me in, but homage to this being-Well...One can't go wrong-These are top-shelf lyrics You know Frank? -They should be sung

Greek mythologies are some of my favorites. Hence the Hades name. Believe it or not, I tried to sing it but couldn't find the right rhythm that I had when I wrote it.

Damn....yeah I've had that happen a time or two...odd how certain rhythms are unique to a moment then gone like a puff of smoke. The Muse-She can be a cursed wench....It may return My Friend and hell who knows, may come up with a totally different idea from it, when You look again!!!

i'm always open to that. I think the problem is I listen to soooo much that whatever beat I have gets lost in the mix.
