Hospice Arms
In death's hospice arms seeking asylum
giving into the morphine running deep
with no more shadows to burn
oblivious to the pain
Delivering my soliloquy to the tides
dire to my lucid wings
in death's hospice arms seeking asylum
giving into the morphine running deep
with no more shadows to burn
oblivious to the pain
Delivering my soliloquy to the tides
dire to my lucid wings
in death's hospice arms seeking asylum

With Every Breath
Silence rising on the surface with every breath
from the cold grave beneath the stone, calming
the tortured souls awakening the sleepers where
memories run deep through billowed clouds
up the twining staircase of windswept heights
touching the hand of God and golden soliloquy
mingling with the scent of tea and ambrosia
rising on the surface with every breath
from the cold grave beneath the stone, calming
the tortured souls awakening the sleepers where
memories run deep through billowed clouds
up the twining staircase of windswept heights
touching the hand of God and golden soliloquy
mingling with the scent of tea and ambrosia
rising on the surface with every breath

Teaching Survival
Teaching survival on the 700 club
Hear someone saying
Jesus wears a vest
Have to teach the kids
How to duck and run
Are you fucking serious
Hiding behind the Bible
Instead of addressing
Our gun problem
So now religion is teaching gun violence
Or hiding under desks
Instead of addressing
The real nut of our times
If I have to teach my kid
To take precautions
Just because of gun violence
Seems like I lost before I began
How about tackling the ...

And The Devil Wept
How art thou fallen, O Sin, my fairest blight
Once crowned with guile now rended by thine own!
Thy venom turns upon thyself in spite
And leaves me wailing on my burning throne
O treacherous spawn of my infernal flame
Why dost thou feast upon thy tainted kin?
Thy hunger knows no end, nor heeds my claim
For thou art thine own foe, O cursed Sin!
Behold the ruin wrought by thine own lust
Each vice devours the seed that gave it birth
Pride's lofty tower crumbles into dust
By envy’s claws and wrath that scorches earth
...

By envy’s claws and wrath that scorches earth

Strife
When storms do break and heavens weep
The cathedral spire wakes from sleep
A shadowed lance, it cleaves the rain
A hymn in stone through joy and pain
The clouds, like mourners, gather close
Their veils of grey a most solemn host
And through their tears a fleeting gleam
The spire ascends, a holy dream
Each droplet strikes with fleeting grace
A silver path on sacred face
And shadows twist in trembling flight
As rain and dark in union write
The gargoyles grin, their visages stark
In interplay of light and dark ...

Preacher.
Sinner the best at sinning in disguise,
You wonder who's the culprit,
of that reward, and I say,
It's that preacher at the pulpit.
You wonder who's the culprit,

Not on Christmas Eve...
Not gonna shave my head...
...but not gonna lie in bed...
going to church instead...
of doing you!!!
Praying to God so loud!
My head is saintly bowed!
Shouting it oh so loud...
I'm not sucking it!
Christmas is almost...here!
My morals you can't steer!
Have yourself another beer!
That's all your gonna get!
Tomorrow's another day!
Then maybe you'll get your way!
If I come back to stay...
...with your sorry ass!
Merry Christmas Eve...
...go masturbate loser!
...but not gonna lie in bed...
going to church instead...
of doing you!!!
Praying to God so loud!
My head is saintly bowed!
Shouting it oh so loud...
I'm not sucking it!
Christmas is almost...here!
My morals you can't steer!
Have yourself another beer!
That's all your gonna get!
Tomorrow's another day!
Then maybe you'll get your way!

Wages of The Faithless
In depths unseen, beneath the endless night
Where shadows writhe and whisper of despair
I walked, alone, beneath an empty light
To witness what awaits the soul laid bare
No angels’ song, no holy trumpets sound
Only the hollow moan of desolate cries
For here, where souls in darkness are unbound
The Faithless walk with vacant hopeless eyes
Their steps are slow, their hearts are cold as stone
The wages earned for turning from the truth
In endless grief, they walk, yet walk alone
Their faith forsaken in the fleeting youth
...
Where shadows writhe and whisper of despair
I walked, alone, beneath an empty light
To witness what awaits the soul laid bare
No angels’ song, no holy trumpets sound

Their steps are slow, their hearts are cold as stone

Thus Spoke Abaddon
"Lo, hark and weep, thou sons of dust
Man’s pride waxed and God’s decrees did rust
Once high, ye stood, in Eden’s grace
Now low ye crawl, a wretched race."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"In days of yore, thy hands were pure
But gold and sin thy hearts allure
Thy towers rose, thy pride took wing
Yet cursed thy voice, no more to sing."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"I watched thee fall, thy doom in stone
The mark of wrath, the seed was sown
By serpent’s tongue and lustful eye
Thy souls were bought, thy birthright...
Man’s pride waxed and God’s decrees did rust

Thy towers rose, thy pride took wing
Yet cursed thy voice, no more to sing."

By serpent’s tongue and lustful eye

Help You Destroy Me
Driven, driven
The crucifixion on toast
Ignore the wise-men
Accept drugs
Woke up just to
Blow these brains out
Blood and crying into my mouth
Fresh meat for the new ritual
Rip out the wires and start again
Dead beat locust mother
In catharsis
It's not the individual
It's the analysis
Face down in the plate
Of self denial
Thanks and feeds the pain
In my eyes
Here, where the money is scarce
As the sun with a gun
Freedom in your face
Enjoy your condemned hell here
You're just as bad as the...

It's all BS
Are all Religions just Terrorist groups by another name?
I am an evidence based kind of guy and the overwhelming evidence suggests both are identical, man made and fundamentally anti humanistic.
We all know it but none will admit that, Religion is Terrorism.Behind Religions high moral values, you will find the same appalling values of any Terrorist group.
The soils of the earth are enriched by the bodies of those who fought and killed for Christ,for Allah,for some silly sun god.

Reality Versus Religious Doctrines
Reality is in fact the best teacher for mankind and not religious doctrines.
The things that people say and write cannot teach as well as reality.
No matter what you hear, read, and think, you must pay attention to reality.
You should always reject any teaching that is not consistent with reality.
According to the bible, the superior authorities have been established by God.
Did God really have something to do with the inception of human government?
Reality shows the falsity in the age-old religious belief that has mislead many people.
