- Black Soterion
Unto thee a farewell, I speak in vain
Take flight I must, to the emptying place
Where forgotten ones wander and saviours escape
Ego-rituals vanquished by the knights of disdain
Empires forsake in circles of dust
Ruins not worth pecking at for riches nor for loot
As the adverse effect to the Midas touch
- Call of the Carrion
Fatigue embraces me
Amidst these mighty oaks
Visions of escaping my flesh
and soaring to another realm comforts
All fear begins to take its leave
a raven choir in boughs above
Shriek dirges and deathlike hymns
- Cannons at Dawn
I'm inside your galleon, every timbered limb
gazing through a hazy portal of cracked obsidian
never to be released from this seafaring tomb
to be condemned before the waves beneath the waning light of the moon
Upon uncharted ocean, a realm unknown to me
far above the cold abyss, where the deep calls to deep
with no treasures to find, only strange mysteries
- Rememberance
Haunted shores beckon me
to an unknown destiny
force guilt with no sympathy
though some have carried mountains
Mute these words, in this venomous world
golden tongues - diamonds ground to dust
fading lights glowing.. in murky waters, drowning
- Scarecrows in the Sky
Scarecrows in the sky!
Spluttering decay through the firmament
Broken winged swans melt to meet painful horizons
as they cry
Wildly leaping down the bleeding mountain
Tormented by the grey ghost of explosions
Becoming one with the furnace of war…
- Viral Grounds
Caged in delight, wailing happily through the nuclear fog
Slave of the Carbon 14 cloud, you swing by chains of invisible torture
Puppeteer perverse, your marionette has clipped its own strings
and in the snow – limbless, bleeding
(as the dove breaks its own wings)
In landscapes of wrought iron animals, frozen writhing beasts lurk
Morphing delusively, waltzing in traumatic worlds, we no longer respond
