Restrained
I am nothing
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision

The Forgotten
Curse the sunrise
To sleep eternally
Lost kingdom of darkness
Centuries old
Eternal tragedy
Embrace the emptiness
Dissolve in sorrow

Ruined Icon
A manifestation
the world became flesh
I was created to suffer
touched and left for dead
flames scorch my bleeding soul
earth burns a malignant glow

Morbid Tales
When fire leaps from the northern mountain
roaring hellfire awaits
servants of sorcery
diabolical
rage on the heavens
the rites of their crosses
smashed down
the pentagram burns bright
darkness shall be eternal

servants of sorcery

rage on the heavens

I am that which grips the Heart with Fright,
Hearkens the Night,
and Silences the Light . . .

isn't that how it goes?
if ignorance is
bliss
then damnation
must be heaven

Decadent Silence
Bittersweet fragrance decadent silence
melting ice morphing death's cyanide
to moisten your lips with my tongue
looming over the darkening veil
clinging to the ovaries of a dying rose

I Really Did Not Know It Was My Husband!!
While stripping down
in order
to take a bath,
Barbara suddenly
heard someone breathe heavy
behind her, picked up a
gun and shot Peter dead in the face.

Sorrow
As the sunlight dies
In cold empty darkness
Stillness of the grave
What the ruins remember
Through time and memory
Chambers death through the winds
Where the flame is eternal
Awakening
In cold empty darkness
Stillness of the grave
What the ruins remember
Through time and memory
Chambers death through the winds
Where the flame is eternal
Awakening
