After My Death
When my soul drifts away
to the hands of the holder,
and I am nothing
but a mere memory, lingering lightly.
The things I missed in life
will be too far to see,
and will no longer hold any worth
after my death.
My corpse will become a feast
for maggots to feed on,
and for regretful necrosol to swallow,
within a sorrowful grave steeped in remorse.
to the hands of the holder,
and I am nothing
but a mere memory, lingering lightly.
The things I missed in life
will be too far to see,
and will no longer hold any worth
after my death.
My corpse will become a feast
for maggots to feed on,
and for regretful necrosol to swallow,
within a sorrowful grave steeped in remorse.

Polvo Brazileiro
I am also proud
To belong to the
Polvo Brazileiro
Also many years when
I was born one Brazilian
Polvo
I lived in São Paulo
I had been robed while walking
In the street of São Paulo
And it is not safe to walking in São Paulo
You also could be killed in the street in São Paulo
Also in São Paulo you can't drive you car with you
Window open
I never liked living in São Paulo
When I was just a teenager
I moved out of São Paulo
To Canada
I love living in Canada
At least it is safe to walk on the streets ...
To belong to the
Polvo Brazileiro
Also many years when
I was born one Brazilian

In the street of São Paulo
And it is not safe to walking in São Paulo
You also could be killed in the street in São Paulo
Also in São Paulo you can't drive you car with you
Window open
I never liked living in São Paulo
When I was just a teenager
I moved out of São Paulo
To Canada
I love living in Canada
At least it is safe to walk on the streets ...

Goodbye
Rest In Peace to Myself.
The final call has been made, and with it, a quiet goodbye to what's been.
The Last salute offered to the memories, the moments, and the pieces of me that once lived here.
It's time to let go, to rest in the stillness that follows the end of a chapter.
The journey has closed, and the silence speaks now, but in that silence, there's peace.
The past is no longer mine to carry. It's time to rest.
Goodbye.

Devolution
Idiots have merged with neo-nazis
to make this world an uglier place
spawning a planet of...idiotzis
with overpriced egg on each beef-wit face;
faces that turn their noses up at books
since the time that they save with every ban
they can spend kissing the ass of the crooks
who kiss the ass of the crook with the tan,
all to enable a future of hate,
where forward pay is all a game of blame
which...NEVER...has been a romantic trait
but only a counterproductive aim
that leads to the puniest short term gain,
of...

He Is Poison
You are the king of poisons my arsenic.
Giving you one night would be
like ingesting cyanide death to the
soul in minutes.
Careful young women, some
men come to steal your hearts
and blacken your soul, nothing more.
They'll drain your beauty and watch
you convulse their Strychnine,
enjoying your dying misery.
Be warned and careful who you
bring to bed. He will give you
spiritual death, draining your
vitality and leaving you hollow.
Before you take his hand...

A Scarecrow
Yes
I am fragile
And I tend to break
But I know how
To hold up against
The words
Especially if I need to hear them.
I won’t break from honesty
I’ve learned how to stand with it
I am fragile
And I tend to break
But I know how
To hold up against
The words
Especially if I need to hear them.
I won’t break from honesty
I’ve learned how to stand with it

Betrayed
You buried me with your silence
Broken bonds and trampled trust
I took the bait and fell into the trap
Of your luring seductive eyes of lust
Scars scrape across my heart
Blind to your bidding from the start
Now I'm delusional and dead
To a world as empty as my cold bed
Broken bonds and trampled trust
I took the bait and fell into the trap
Of your luring seductive eyes of lust
Scars scrape across my heart
Blind to your bidding from the start
Now I'm delusional and dead
To a world as empty as my cold bed

Faded flames
Faded flames haunt my memories
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us

It is so hard to live without you my father
It is so hard to live without you
My father
I just can't live without you my father
I need you to be a part
Of my everyday life
I could never
live without father
I know that you
Also love me
Without limits
And I am your son
And I will always be your son
You have created me
59 years ago with your
Holy hands
And you have placed me
Here on earth to live
I just love the life you
Gave to me father
I never complained to you
About my life
Thanks to you father
I live a very good life ...

Dear friend
Dear friend
Always remember
That you are a child of God
He is the one that
Created you in his image
A long time ago
So you are beautiful
In God’s eyes
And if you don’t agree
It is ok because God
Has his own opinion
Always remember
That you are a child of God
He is the one that
Created you in his image
A long time ago
So you are beautiful
In God’s eyes
And if you don’t agree

Yes or no?
Why was it
That I was disappointed
With a yes?
My expectations rose
Beliefs put on a show
All for naught.
I truly thought
The worst dreadful thing
One could say was “no”.
I’m glad I understand
You can’t fix what’s solidified.
I wish I matured.
And I wish I was the one to say no.
That I was disappointed
With a yes?
My expectations rose
Beliefs put on a show
All for naught.
I truly thought
The worst dreadful thing
One could say was “no”.
I’m glad I understand
You can’t fix what’s solidified.
I wish I matured.
And I wish I was the one to say no.

Cómo Foi?
Cómo Foi?
This beautiful sunny day
During the Summer
It was a very hot day
For us
That made us
Sweat like pigs
Nonstop
The only way to get
Relief from this hot day
Is to go to the beach
Where it is cooler
We will have to swim
For a few minutes
Then when we come out
We will feel relieved
Cómo Foi?
I was the only one
Who had taken a look
At the blue sky
With white clouds
Also, I didn't see any sign
Of rain in the sky
Now this day was coming to
An end
We saw the sun going...
