The Abyss of the Drunken Boat For Endless Press By FD Ravenskraft
The Abyss is calling
To tell stories of the seas unsolving
The darkened shores lying there are piles of whores
Rotting away on the fields of the moors
The Drunken cope
As my bottle gives forbidden hope
The rocking boat has an orgy with the sea
It no longer wants to breathe
The Drunken Boat
Rhymes of our time
As the seeds embrace from the bud of thyme
The cold nature of a human eraser
The Drunken Boat
The Drunken Boat
Corpses are done
Put the deep into the abyss
With the fire. Burns like a desire ...
To tell stories of the seas unsolving
The darkened shores lying there are piles of whores
Rotting away on the fields of the moors

The Drunken Boat

As the seeds embrace from the bud of thyme
The cold nature of a human eraser
The Drunken Boat
The Drunken Boat
Corpses are done
Put the deep into the abyss

The Concerto of The Abyss By FD Ravenskraft for Endless Press
The Preparation of the Intro
As the orchestra prep to propose to the bride
As she is the mother of darkness
Mother of all as you saw. It doesn't matter at all
This tale is too involved in the marriage to the abyss
A sinister awakening of her
Sleep on her hellhound fur
But what occurs is the fact
That this marriage is madness
The necessary sadness
To be a gift of all. The Fall of the Living Fallen
But dead and rotten
The prestige of the conductor's baton
That heaven and hell is in his command
As we see it in close demand...

On His Anniversary
Every time my wife enters the pool, she can't keep her head above the water
It would look as though she was drowning
I would jump in and save her from the deep end
I'd say, stay in the shallow section, over here
She wouldn't say much and just shake her head
Luckily, I have a lock on the gate, which surrounds the entire in ground pool
I'm the only one that knows the code
I don't allow her near the pool, unless I'm nearby
I needed to install this a few years back, since a tragedy occurred
Our son, who was 4 years old went by the edge of the pool and...

Mr Oblong's Body Parts For Endless Press Studios By FD Ravenskraft
Mr Oblong's Body Parts
For Endless Press Studios
By FD Ravenskraft
Drop the Body on the floor
By The fucking chamber door
The brutality upon the shores
Of the dirty nights of flight
The madness stares upon me
You see the bleeding heart is caught
By Oblong's torture chamber
I'm not your saviour
You have become his next favour
Heads. Torsos. Legs for sale
Coming for the smoker of hell
Butt cheeks tenderized and marinade
Drinking a bottle of Gatorade
Throw away the infected parts infested with AIDS ...

Beneath the Weight of Shadows
In the night so cold and hollow,
Where her heart now aches and moans,
She escaped, but cannot follow
Joy, for sorrow chills her bones.
A soldier’s touch, a desperate plea,
For freedom's breath, a heavy cost,
His eyes of steel, his grip on she,
In that moment, innocence lost.
Hallelujah, but it haunts her,
In the darkness, in her dreams,
Traded soul for fleeting safety,
Now torn apart by silent screams.
She ran from fire, smoke, and death,
Left behind a world in flames,
Each breath she took, a stolen...
Where her heart now aches and moans,
She escaped, but cannot follow

For freedom's breath, a heavy cost,
His eyes of steel, his grip on she,
In that moment, innocence lost.
Hallelujah, but it haunts her,
In the darkness, in her dreams,
Traded soul for fleeting safety,
Now torn apart by silent screams.
She ran from fire, smoke, and death,
Left behind a world in flames,
Each breath she took, a stolen...

Something Wicked this Way Comes (my rendition)
When diamonds dance on oceans waves
Sinks to the bottom of Poseidon's caves.
When push and pull are too strong to bear
and all who see turn to despair.
A shimmer of hope once appeared
on an ethereal face, it did glare.
Unbeknownst to all but true.
beneath the sweet is putrid glue.
With commanding grace and words,
that spread like fire.
All coward down
To its desire.
Claws and teeth were exposed.
Slashing through designer clothes.
Tears and wails floated on the wind.
As it echoes and...

The Nevermore Symphony for Endless Press By FD Ravenskraft
In the Midst of the calling
We all are living fallen
That the wings of the watchers
Fathering the spoiled seeds of the
Altar.
In the Polaris skies bleeds the Highlands
Of the darklings.
The Worst of the Symphony
Of musical homicide
That many here in Nevermore
Buried upside down from self inflicted
Genocide
Here in the Kingdom of many henges
That haunts this place blessfully
Respectfully known in the tombs of Epitaphs
The King's minions
Help runs these lands
This is a black abyss on the shores...
We all are living fallen
That the wings of the watchers
Fathering the spoiled seeds of the
Altar.
In the Polaris skies bleeds the Highlands
Of the darklings.
The Worst of the Symphony
Of musical homicide
That many here in Nevermore
Buried upside down from self inflicted
Genocide
Here in the Kingdom of many henges
That haunts this place blessfully
Respectfully known in the tombs of Epitaphs
The King's minions
Help runs these lands
This is a black abyss on the shores...

Discovering self-love in coffee foam
In the great theater of life a lone man stands,
married to himself, in self-embrace he united.
Oh, joyful life, such a bright masquerade,
however, behind the mask misery escapes.
Ode to the joy of foam:
When the dawn light breaks, laughter in the air,
children play freely without a single care.
The warm pulse of love, a comforting embrace,
in the cradle of simplicity the tender grace of life.
The Agony of Coffee:
But behold! The skies darken, the storms are fierce,
man stumbles and falls as sorrows pierce. ...
married to himself, in self-embrace he united.
Oh, joyful life, such a bright masquerade,
however, behind the mask misery escapes.
Ode to the joy of foam:
When the dawn light breaks, laughter in the air,
children play freely without a single care.
The warm pulse of love, a comforting embrace,
in the cradle of simplicity the tender grace of life.
The Agony of Coffee:
But behold! The skies darken, the storms are fierce,
man stumbles and falls as sorrows pierce. ...

FD Ravenskraft's The Watchers of Nevermore for Endless Studios By FD Ravenskraft
The Eyes of many
That sees everything and beyond
Within Ravenshenge is a terror within it
That all evil is trapped there to keep them in
Earth Dwellers want them to enter the world
of the living.
The king wants no part of this contract of the world
The Nevermore King heeds the call of his beloved
Watchers to seek guidance
Rochester keeps the Delightful ones from entering the world
as the graves are renovated for newcomers
and Pauline The Bearer controls the south of Banshees and witches.
As Izsenhimm will create a new nightmare to...

The Horrors of War
They stripped me of my clothes
I stood naked & shivering in front of a large hole dug in the ground
I turned around and looked down
I saw my mother's corpse below me
Naked & mutilated
I moved over a bit so that when my body fell, I would land next to hers
I felt lucky to have seen her one last time
They had been lying
They told me that she had been dead for months
They told me in detail of how they had tortured her
I looked down at her body
I no longer felt cold
They told me to turn around
I looked to either side of me ...

It's Lunch Time!!
These 4 pigs found the body of a 10 year old girl
She was strangled & mutilated at the nearby park
There was no witnesses or evidence except a radio flyer wagon near the girls body
The 4 pigs began brainstorming, thinking what they should do
The 20 year veteran said,
Let's take this child, the radio flyer wagon and go door to door
The rookie placed her mangled corpse into the wagon
From there, they began walking the neighborhood
The rookie cop had the honor of wheeling the wagon
Her lifeless body, bouncing around like some used & abused...
