Stardust
imagine
the souls of dead folk
dissipating
rising
just that quiet
and fading
through endless blue
or black
and stars like pinholes
and memories spun out
and hard wrought truth
twisted into one last hungry breath
before the bony chest stops
and the skin goes yellow
i remember jesus in the manger
his lights strung across the porch rail,
a plastic snowman standing in the weeds
and mama saying plug him in and light him up
and her hanging...
the souls of dead folk
dissipating
rising
just that quiet
and fading
through endless blue
or black
and stars like pinholes
and memories spun out
and hard wrought truth
twisted into one last hungry breath
before the bony chest stops
and the skin goes yellow
i remember jesus in the manger
his lights strung across the porch rail,
a plastic snowman standing in the weeds
and mama saying plug him in and light him up
and her hanging...

Piety Grasped
Piety is the cold refrain
repeated to ease the pain
with a chorus of like minds
denouncing comfort left behind
resurrected from past crimes
conveyed in warning by the wise
or experienced in the past
now reviewed with shamed abash
those artifacts of pleasure felt
when the guard was withheld
allowing worlds to tumble in
swamp the dullness with bouts of sin
the crashing waves of sublime bliss
snapping anchors like mere twigs
arise from depths when reticence
is put aside to live again
to drown would lead...
repeated to ease the pain

Solitary f**k
We lost faith
Been waiting for a saviour ain’t a clue how much longer we can wait
We lost hope
Been digging for our gold ain’t a clue how much deeper we can go
We lost love
Been looking for a drug that can give us something similar to trust
We lost soul
Been walking on our own for a long time it’s really getting old
Where’s our light?
Every single interaction is an accidental insult from a fight
Where’s our freedom?
Every single action taken needs a compensation in the form of reason
Where’s our peace?
Every single day...
Been waiting for a saviour ain’t a clue how much longer we can wait
We lost hope
Been digging for our gold ain’t a clue how much deeper we can go
We lost love
Been looking for a drug that can give us something similar to trust
We lost soul
Been walking on our own for a long time it’s really getting old
Where’s our light?
Every single interaction is an accidental insult from a fight
Where’s our freedom?
Every single action taken needs a compensation in the form of reason
Where’s our peace?
Every single day...

In This Place
Fire and stone
Hidden
Obsidian and Scoria
Under our toes
Design euphoria
Agony so deep
Pumps novacaine tremors....
Spreading sweet heat
To covet mass terror
Together
We devolve
Using ungodly measures
Still wearing white Chimer
Empty, inflated wearers.

The Sages
A curtain of darkness covered his eyes
He sat in the twilight
Confined to the chains of time
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Behind stone curtains
the infinity of his words
illumined the night
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Where the light goes
it goes...
He sat in the twilight
Confined to the chains of time
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Behind stone curtains
the infinity of his words
illumined the night
Where the light goes
it goes there weeping
It falls between the branches
it goes there weeping
Where the light goes
it goes...

Christ
all my good sins,
all my bright lies and dark truths
were splayed
on abraham's pious rock,
sacrificed to my father's good god
for nada
i knew i wasn't clean
even as His Body nestled on my tongue
and even that last, long shot,
the Lord, broken,
His sad eyes rolled,
His plaster stripes and spikes in deep
and all of it for me, for everything i'd done
or might do
or wanted to,
even that was out of reach
and oh, my First Sweet and Holy Love,
my Poor, Pale Anointed, ...
all my bright lies and dark truths
were splayed
on abraham's pious rock,
sacrificed to my father's good god
for nada
i knew i wasn't clean
even as His Body nestled on my tongue
and even that last, long shot,
the Lord, broken,
His sad eyes rolled,

or might do

Purgatory
I feel held up
In this purgatory
Trapped
Waiting for better days
But what if there are none...
What if heaven is an illusion
or God is a man-made idea
kept to oppress our mind;
hell is an illusion
And the Devil is a man-made idea
kept to keep the world at peace
Either way, I wait
believing in an illusion
If is
could be
or doesn't exist at all-
Taint me not with blasphemy
In this purgatory
Trapped
Waiting for better days
But what if there are none...
What if heaven is an illusion
or God is a man-made idea
kept to oppress our mind;
hell is an illusion
And the Devil is a man-made idea
kept to keep the world at peace
Either way, I wait
believing in an illusion
If is
could be
or doesn't exist at all-
Taint me not with blasphemy

Heaven Only Knows
How do I have the bliss like before?
Do we really actually have a choice?
Can you at least answer my voice?
I just want the chance to reopen my door
So that I alone, with only myself to blame
Can at least change the way I live and play
With a choice that's free, like it was before the birth of me.
I hope you remember that it wasn't me that ate that fruit
I'm not the one to blame, it was snake that started this game
When the door was slammed closed, we were all suddenly transformed
We didn't even have a say.
Heaven only...

Goodbye, Farewell
Hello Chaos!
Pharaonic Empire
with no mother tongue
Is sovereignty the sun?
I see the fire
Are you the flame?
I’ve seen the future
Are you to blame?
A divine inspiration
sheltering her reason
Surrender nothing
Knowledge nor…
When her myth
Plays the metaphor
Goodbye, farewell
Deny the void between
the seasons and the centuries
Kissing the myth
only history will believe
I see the fire
Are you the flame?
I’ve seen the future...
Pharaonic Empire
with no mother tongue
Is sovereignty the sun?

Are you the flame?

When her myth

Goodbye, farewell

The God Placebo
I'll be him, you want a sign?
it's fine I do it all the time,
the rich ones get cured
the sick ones ignored.
I just need the long number, a cross your card
dont worry were dot com and prayin is hard
You'll see me when you look up in church
or look me up, just do a search,
I can spit you a sermon, drop in some rhymes
dishing out morals with my breath of red wine.
I'll piss biblical rivers to fill every font
hand me your children I'm at the front.
I've registered my trade mark 'G'
to take 10%, hell more if you believe,...
it's fine I do it all the time,

No Bars Will Hold Me
We is microwaved daily
By lizard aliens fuckin scaly
It's scary
It's hairy
It's a shakedown
A takedown
Fo shoo
Glued become unglued
Creation of hedonism
Is an Armagedonism
End times approaching
It doesn't need coaching
As globalisation
Leads to mass manipulation
No more nations
Required associations
The antichrist is on the throne
Slaughter all just blood and bone
Brainwashing on your I-phone
In god we do trust
Salvation robust
I pray from my jail cell
Please Lord, save me from hell ...

ABBEY
Could you be a monk-
Detach from all that you love
In service of beer?
Detach from all that you love
In service of beer?
