Cast Down
In shadowed glen where moonlight dies
And whispers rise to blackened skies
The heathen throng in secret meet
To bow before their gods’ dread feet
A crimson fire illumes the night
Its glow a curse, its warmth a blight
The air is thick with ashen breath
A hymn to chaos, wrought in death
Their chants, a wail of fractured tone
Do summon powers dark, unknown
With twisted rites and forms obscene
They crown the void their shadowed queen
The altar, stained with lifeblood spilt
Is carved with signs of ancient guilt ...
And whispers rise to blackened skies
The heathen throng in secret meet
To bow before their gods’ dread feet
A crimson fire illumes the night
Its glow a curse, its warmth a blight
The air is thick with ashen breath
A hymn to chaos, wrought in death
Their chants, a wail of fractured tone
Do summon powers dark, unknown
With twisted rites and forms obscene
They crown the void their shadowed queen
The altar, stained with lifeblood spilt
Is carved with signs of ancient guilt ...

Ea$y Money (Not so Easy)
Ea$y Money (Not so easy)
Cutting in line
Won’t wait my turn
It’s my money and
I want to collect
But the game ain’t over
There’s still time
For it to fall to pieces
Does it almost every time
Life of a Rider
Comin up short in the end
They say insanity is
When you rinse and repeat
Tryin to make an easy buck
Instead of just being
Losing an easy buck instead
Of pocketing
Life of a Rider
Isn’t an easy path
Want to get rid of this
Insanity not so easy
...

Prince Of Darkness
I smoke in ways in purple haze
You are on my blacklist
Phase by phase, I'll set ablaze
Firing up this red mist
I'll watch you cry through haunted eyes
The dark has turned you into
Ashes die, you've broken ties
I really fuckin' hate you
You are on my blacklist
Phase by phase, I'll set ablaze
Firing up this red mist
I'll watch you cry through haunted eyes
The dark has turned you into
Ashes die, you've broken ties
I really fuckin' hate you

The Spoken Spell
In whispered words, a cry takes flight,
“Avra ke-davra, I speak to ignite.”
Voices woven, reality they weave,
On kosher parchment, our truths we believe.
Kaptsiel, Malakhel, guide my way,
As you did for Abraham in the light of day,
Unmask the thief, draw near, behold,
Kematin’s secret in the tales of old.
Circle the suspects with the rooster's grace,
Let it leap upon truth in this sacred space.
For small and big burns, a spell we invoke,
Ancient names whispered, our healing cloak.
Agrifuk,...

Home
Sitting in this drenched filled home,
It rains all night,
Flooded in and all around,
Dead clouds aren't kind,
In between the bricks they speak,
in tongues that rhythm,
Fallen angels are quick sand,
it's a matter of time,
Running from the room that drains all life,
Burning with the fire that comes with time,
Safety comes from fear and faceless lies,
I'll be just fine, lock the doors and shut the lights,
Sense the windows clarity,
as I sigh,
feel the lady that's in bed,
She's terrified,
Halls obsessed...

DRAG ME TO HELL AGAIN
She comes to me like a promise steeped in poison
With muttered curses and screaming madness
In which she bewitched this lich bound for the ditch
In flames I burn, the envy of darkness
O Lamia, there's no salvation beneath the steeple
Verses of original sin
O Lamia, bequeathed insanity by the people
Drag me back to Hell again
Spittle flies from the gypsy's lips, cracked and bleeding
Taloned fingers and abysmal blackness
So pure in her in turn she damns me to churn
In the void like fodder for the badness
O Lamia,...
With muttered curses and screaming madness
In which she bewitched this lich bound for the ditch
In flames I burn, the envy of darkness
O Lamia, there's no salvation beneath the steeple
Verses of original sin
O Lamia, bequeathed insanity by the people
Drag me back to Hell again
Spittle flies from the gypsy's lips, cracked and bleeding
Taloned fingers and abysmal blackness
So pure in her in turn she damns me to churn
In the void like fodder for the badness
O Lamia,...

Lamb
Contain
the heart and the cut.
Contained heart
in what you are looking for,
silent by passion
that emanates from him
unable to get his wish.
You presume to reach the stars,
ascending pride,
pulled to the lowest level.
Loved like a lamb
with the heart of a panther,
you want to reach stars.
Heart in hand
like the purest clay.
No accumulation of wonders
about him.
Because in the center
the name is protected.
Beloved, like scarlet
on the edges of the lips.
Glowing like fire ...
the heart and the cut.
Contained heart
in what you are looking for,
silent by passion
that emanates from him
unable to get his wish.
You presume to reach the stars,
ascending pride,
pulled to the lowest level.
Loved like a lamb

you want to reach stars.
Heart in hand
like the purest clay.
No accumulation of wonders
about him.
Because in the center
the name is protected.
Beloved, like scarlet
on the edges of the lips.
Glowing like fire ...

The good ol'days, it seemed so long ago,
With sci-fi flicks ‘bout robots and the underworld shows.
"Demolition Man," "Fifth Element," "Blade Runner," too,
Even "iRobot"... just to name a few!
It’s ‘ere now, sharp as a knife,
A world not like the one we knew in life.
Mechanoids, cyborgs, and robots on the rise,
The rich man buys ‘em, no surprise.
There is no need for workers clockin’ 9 to 5,
These bots work round the clocks, always alive.
While people beg for jobs and starve,
The wealthy laugh,...

The Devil's Memorial
Cloaked mysterious
Plundering fascination
Fallen upon space
Gravity of self
Matters concentrating
Fabrication weighs
Pulling such fathom
Into a blackhole
Astrological ascension
From night stars
Such vast expanse
Thieving inquisition
Chambers inside
Blinding misanthropy
As guises beguile
Beleaguered chance
Esoteric enigma
Darkness spell amaze
Conundrum of corridor
Spiral mind cusp
Control noted ...

A Hammer To Break The Stars
Foul spores upon the winde are cast
From void they come, a shadow vast
Shapes flee swift 'neath skies that break
Pale light doth rise, the dark to wake
Strange sounds from pools where stillness lies
Marks unseen upon men’s eyes
The hidden signs, burnt in their wake
In silent corners shadows quake
The winde, it bears a breath unknown
Of ancient doom, in whispers sown
'Tis not the stars, nor sky, nor sea
But something else, unseen, set free
What stirs beyond the tornèd veil
Doth sow the seed, yet leaves no trail ...
From void they come, a shadow vast
Shapes flee swift 'neath skies that break
Pale light doth rise, the dark to wake
Strange sounds from pools where stillness lies
Marks unseen upon men’s eyes
The hidden signs, burnt in their wake
In silent corners shadows quake
The winde, it bears a breath unknown
Of ancient doom, in whispers sown
'Tis not the stars, nor sky, nor sea
But something else, unseen, set free
What stirs beyond the tornèd veil
Doth sow the seed, yet leaves no trail ...

Trolls often get bad press
I met a troll sitting under a bridge
looking sad
he was kicked out of the mountain
because it had two eyes
normal trolls have only one eye
planted on the forehead
Worst of all, the unfortunate troll didn't
had a tree stuck in his long nose, ducks under
water inhale mightily and
catch trout
Goats grazing at the bank
of the stream,
but the sad troll had a phobia against
against horns
besides, he didn't like the way they stunk
Our troll wore soft...
