PUSHING KARMA

Chase your time
Always a step behind
Value the things
That make your heart sing
Never too late
To back out the game
Forfeit your name
Make you the same
Standardise your birth and life
Right the way through to the moment you die
Carried on the waves of souls beyond the grave
Final destination 
And still nothings changed
What's the deal
This shit can't be real
Yet another of God's sicko tricks
Resistance is futile
When you're walking the last mile
Cash in your hand
While you still got the chance
Here is the time
Now is the place
They tried to cage us
We can never break
Keep that song in your heart
The fire in your blood
Burning up years of tradition and restraint
Teach us to hate
But we'll never forget love
A spark deep inside you can never corrupt
We can't give up
Too much at stake
Fight to the death
When we die either way
A beautiful flower
Trampled to the dirt
Beyond our power
It lies inert
Can't bring back what's lost
Got to be worth the costs
Got nothing to lose
But so little to gain



A BETTER WORLD

Smoten with thunder
Like lightning rinsed with pot pourri 
Sensual and thick
Sipping champayugne and swinging a stick
 

Which brings me back to a little story from my childhood
Of witches and kings and brave men
Fighting for what is good and right
Watch the children see how short sighted they grow
Bullshit packaged up by the narrow minded
Just out for an easy buck
And why should they give a fuck
Why should we, the devil knows it's not our world

But my little girl
I got the feeling that it's gonna be hers
I don't want her trying to live out a lie
But the truth would scramble with her minature mind
So whats the path 
The wise man takes
Ain't no fast route to unfuck up the mistakes

And God knows I'm trying
Whatever I do I'm justified
The 'Right Man' with a license as a cheat 
And a fake
Most sacred heretic the snake in the dirt
I've been hurt before so many times
For having beliefs and for speaking my mind
Would I revenge myself then
It wasn't a sacrifice 
Because I knew it was the truth

So much is different now

My blood
I give for you



CROSSING PATHWAYS

Jealous,
Hateful,
Arrogant prick
Spastic and plastic
So high and pathetic
Mentally stable
In the worst kind of way
Cloak and dagger
The tongue of a snake
Weaving twisted webs of lies
A prisoner to your own disguise
I pity you/-/I loathe you
As my soon to be/My worst enemy
I do not think I can bear to become/What I am/What I know, what I did
My nightmare and a prophesy/ The greatest of my blasphemies.......
A victory/
Short-lived, with deep roots
The greatest treacheries may never die
Cycling in and throughout time/
To the will/
And the now/
And the maybe



PUNISHMENTS

It’s still there 
It won't ever go
I'm stuck, I'm fucked
It's all so black and never ending
Just like my masks and my jackass pretending
Thing is...
You never saw my core
The seed of destruction grown to a forest
Of death and blood and primal rage
For everything that I love, that I hate
Care about in any kind of way 
Through my madness it's all locked up in a special place
Somewhere far away,
Though it pops up everyday
In the things I do and the stupid crap I say
Cause everything is just getting too much
Cause the whole godamned world could never be enough
To pay the ransom of sin
Bring my hands flesh from tin
I can't sleep, I can't eat
I can't feel
Took it for granted life was part of my deal
But you just won't go away
Will you pop up to bother me in my grave
As I slumber the millenia 
Till I stir and wake and take
My revenge upon the heavens themselves
In many ways my ultimate sacrifice
Surrendering my sword and knife
I've no soul but you can take my life
And everything I see is so black sometimes
My penance for the original crimes
Of our fathers
They would never show me
But I don't want to know anymore
Just wrap me in a safe cocoon
Of molten plastic and of glue
Cause the world is a shite place
Where I don't want to stay and it's finally cracked and I've 
actually had enough
As usual I'm fucked
But this time I'm not alone
The whole world's gone my way
I'm fucked, you're fucked each tiny newborn babies fucked
 
Goodbye Jesus
We'll have to stay in touch



LEFT BEHIND

Ice in hand, cold fire in mind
To wake, to breathe, to walk unchained
On bitter seas
Watching the spider, rising and falling
Knitting esquisite thread of silk
Smooth on my tongue, light, delicate, pure
With the pressure of my thumb I take a life
I feel so powerful
I am a God here, with the right and the tools
To tear down the world
Pierce the ocean and my own heart
My ancestors cry out for blood
Immortal voices dwell beneath the call of the years
Their judgement is sound
It is my time
 
My body, the slab....
......Dust
I sit awake.... Dream of thriving worlds rife with foliage and life.....
.......Dust
Love sits at my bed, whispers comfort in my withered ear......
.......Dust
Looking down from miles above
My house, my barn, my stable.....
.........All Dust
The door crumbles in my hands
Breath freezes in my lungs 
Cold inside, no feeling as I run
Swim
Climb and jump
She's dead
Everything is dead
Earth crumbles
I sit in my corner, clutching at my dust
