Kids, don't try this at home
He had seen on TV
An execution by hanging
Curious he was, he tried
How it is to hang
Execution means dying
Hanging is not a game
Execution means dying
He won't do it again
It was just a funny game
This caused his own death

Execution means dying
Hanging is not a game

He won't do it again
It was just a funny game

Lost Control
Tragic frontal collision
One moment without control
He also lost his life
The accident made a commotion
Rise the number of the dead
Tragic car accident
He crashed the hearse
One dead more
He crashed the hearse
Coffin was not far away

GRAVE SITE
Have you ever had a dream that woke you up, in a cold sweat till you can feel it to your 🩻 bones. As though the deepness of the dream, was trying to tell you something in codes. 🤔 Yet you know that you are alive, with a strong heart beating and pounding in your chest. As you inhale and exhale, the flesh air breeze blowing through your lungs, to breathe life. FROM within your body and spiritual soul. 🙏 Yet you can't shake the deepness of the, truth of the inner images of your mind thoughts. For sure what does it all mean, 🤔 could it be a sign of things to come,...

Rites of Ascension
In hidden vaults, where shadows seep
They sing the rites of crimson creed
The ancient tongues in murmurs creep
And call to bones that never bleed
Through sacred dark, where secrets lie
In consecrated rot and dust
They chant beneath a starless sky
To raise the flesh dissolved by rust
With sigils drawn in ashen trace
And holy oil upon the stone
They conjure forth a lost embrace
Of spirits bound by oath and bone
Anointed blood in chaliced hands
They lift to Him who waits unseen
To rouse the buried from...

No one Here (The Reaper…sows)
No one here (The Reaper…sows)
No one here gets out alive
As hard as we try
We all pay the toll
Hopefully there is an other side
But we can’t escape time
Time doesn’t spare anybody
Even one as smart as me
Though I’m a dummy
I can’t escape from Grim
He reaps what he sows
He reaps what he sows
Reaper sits in
On our family gathering
Hope he picks me
And not someone I really love
He reaps what he knows
He reaps and sows
But he don’t feel pity
And he’ll...

They're Coming For You
Living corpses gets out to enjoy the party tonight
the exploding space probe awakens their bodies to life
army of undead prowlers craving raw meat
be fast or be killed, you're their flavor of the week
Back to eat, eat and eat again
they feel just hunger
no love no mercy no pain
they move slow, wobble & rock
they're tireless creatures, they never seem to stop
Make 'em die
a shot in the head
only way to survive
in the night of the living dead

I Wish I Was Aborted
Grab a rope and grab a chair
feet are going in the air
May seem careless, may seem weak
not your approval i hope to seek
Left a notebook saying why i did it all over there
Who am i kidding no one ever seemed to care
Any impact i had will just fade away
Everybody says you can do anything as a young man
Even though i tried this was the one thing that i could plan
Enjoy the ramen i had stashed away
Consume the maggots, that's the price you have to pay

Children of the Frosted Dark
A black star envelops the night;
Forsaken blood is the guiding light.
Hungry children roam the streets,
Seeking the all-mother to set them free.
Decaying murmurs haunt the peace
Where the frozen sleep.
Fallen soldiers drown in the bleakest pit;
In the shadows, the specter creeps.
The aberration feeds on tormented minds;
In the whispering annals, the iced souls don’t die.
Pallid, docile children, a coven of dark rites,
Echo the stillness, and yonder the flames,
Hoping for the Matron—the Keeper of the Abyss—

Soul Proposal
Echoes of stiletto heels within the ebony château,
My graphite garters donned
Under my ball gown,
Its shade derived from an onyx of ivory’s depths.
Descending stairs of life’s timer,
A slow tread towards my metal casket,
Adorned with cloisonné
Of my shadows’ prints.
My beloved Grim Reaper
Offering a dark trousseau,
As a bundle to propose
To my soul,
With a scythe to entrance my corpse.
Softly crooning and rocking me
To sleep in my condemned cradle.

Dreams, Streams & Waterfalls
This life has had it's way
This place has had its way with me
This loss that burns so cold
Won't back down it will never go away
These dying breaths are fading now
Seems like breathing has lost its charm
That flame i once felt inside
Seems the glow finally died
The memories i had of you
And the place where we ran through
Streams and waterfalls
The memories are fading now
Just like the strength that carried us through
Dreams and waterfalls
Is this what it will come to?
A drowning pool of hopeless...

Da Bomb
Black hole in the bomb
Oppy in Los Alomos
New Mexico dessert
Fusion atomic bomb
Witch hunt McCarthy era
Japanese children with no skin
Such knowledge I can’t imagine
Einstein’s Teacher
Drop the bomb
Cities explode
Made the bomb to beat Hitler
So now he’s dead in a bunker
All this work I want to see
Here goes Hiroshima in a mushroom
Could have dropped it on Japan Bay
But I want to see destruction of humans
And buildings layed flat to the ground
Fireworks on...
