The Big Show
Have you heard the word
About the show that came to town
While you were sleeping in your bed
It's gonna really rock your world
They won't say who's going to play
On that monstrous massive stage
But you can try and try and try
But you won't find a seat to buy
It's the biggest fucking show
This town has ever seen
But you'll be lucky
To buy a tee shirt
There's a billion watts of sound
And speakers all around
They're setting up for a million
Rabid fans
But nobody can find a ticket
To get them through the...

Not Your Kind
She was just a lonely girl
tossed around in a gloomy world
she never knew right from wrong
How can you blame her (2x)
If she's not your kind
She never had a father
her mother never cared
she was all alone in this world
How can you blame her (2x)
If she's not your kind
Oh no,
no one cared
if she lived or died
Oh no,
no one cared
if she lived or died
People just don't care about the stones that they throw
Her miserable life is filled with tears
Never having a chance...

Bodies falling
Duty calling
Madness mauling
Generation clueless
Preparation useless
Nation godless
Situation dire
Government liars
Media pyre
Evil lurking
People searching
Satan laughing
God have mercy

Silent - A Tragedy
Two Years Ago, Gavin
After that? Pretty blurred, really. Tragic, like a dying swan. All that beauty gone. Jace invited me back to his for a drink and a grill up, but I made a decision: get a train and return home early, enough of Philippa. Dawn went to fetch Paul, and Paul drove Dawn, Jace and me back to Lyme House to collect my stuff. Then on to the train station.
We didn't say much on the way to the station. Such an intensity of emotion, Jace and Dawn seemed upset by my departure, even though we hardly knew each other.
At the station, Dawn hugged me,...

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 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 ...

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
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...
