BROKEN WHEELS

Hypnotic, Symphonic
A little bit demonic
Hydroponic, electronic
Digital suicide
Poison the airwaves
and pollute your screen
Nowhere to hide from the wrath of my dreams
A virus, a bug
A Trojan Horse dropped down from flames above
We can't sleep
No sleep at all
Wake up fuckers and heed the call
I'll sleep when i'm dead
I'll sleep when i'm dead

Program Malifunction
Spiderwire hooked up my amplifier
Download with surround sound
No connection to the underground
Caffeine induced electric sleep
Psychopathic speedfreak
Static dust orchestra
Bloodshot eyes petrified
This blacklight of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Till i burn the retinas from your eyes
Then maybe you'll see what my eyes see
Deep inside my sleepless dream
We can't sleep
No sleep at all
Wake you fuckers to heed the call
i'll sleep when i'm dead
i'll sleep when i'm dead

Can you read the cards
Geometric colour coded
To see how bad my brain eroded
Disconnect the input plug
I've heard enough
It's turned to mud
If it's important they'll call back
oh shit the screen turned black
Read the ink
What do you see?
Butterlies, pelvis or holsten cow
No more lies this must stop
sociopathic and borderline
schizophrenic electric eye
Scan my cat i think he died
9 times 9 plus itself is 9
Xray my brain the mouse is gone
I broke the wheel your chains were on
400 question tests can't be wrong
No fucking sleep at all
But the dreams revealed it all
Instant message incoming calls
Your sheep within my head
I'll sleep when i'm dead



SPIRAL CHAMBERS

Green then jack then black now trip 
And we danced amidst the gardens 
as the castles floated by 
tis when we realized 
there is no fear to die 

crawling, creeping twisted flesh 
shaking, twitching, writhing bliss 
flickering, on and off white light flickering to the sounds 

never ever ever comeing back again 
beyond all schemes of spiral realities 
built by those who wish to opress 
stand up and be counted 
crash crash 
throught the waves of dream 
have you ever seen a scream 

flickering, on and off white light black bleeds now now blindling lights 

I hear colours and see music 
playing with the puppet strings 
chiming to a hand of rings 
dance fuckers dance 
i see bats and dragon scales 
throught a digital 
pixelatic mess 
of spirals and baby's breath 
but nothing shines 
brighter than the black and white 
grey smokey chaos 
melts into purple void 
of spiraling indigo 

Flickering on and off white light... 

time is just an illustion 
that no one can hold still 
but when time stands still for just a while 
you can do as thy will 
then i knew there was nothing to fear but death 
and death is just a beginning 
but we won't be dying any time soon 
o no this tale is yet in spin 
dance fuckers dance 

Twas able to get lost again 
it was a long long time since then 
but now i remember 
Blessed be and Fair thee well 

Flickering on and off white light through black shields of burning light



BLOOD MOON TICKING CLOCK

Don't touch me now
for i have cracked the sky somehow
the sun has faded through the clouds 
and the the moon is bleeding

The clock keeps ticking on
as i dodge the falling bombs
off of broken cd roms
that reflect my dreaming

If you haven't figured by now
the motor in my brain is burning out
now thoughts are infrared
and dreams decieve me

It strikes 13 o' clock
for those who's died of septic shock
the infection spreads so fast
your heart skips beating

Whilst i write you this song
i draw flashbacks from vietnam
though i had never gone
I still remember

The landmines that fill the fields
leave them to writhe and squeel
dead bodies cannot feel
but i hear them screaming

My shit is packed for moving on
as the clock counts down from 5 to 1
waiting for the sun
no one here gets out alive

Blessed be and fair thee well
I guess i'll see you all in hell
don't forget to whip your feet
before you enter...



ASHES

We cannot sleep 
As thoughts start to creep 
Of all timelines 
Intertwined within the vortex of my mind 
Behind closed doors 
In secrets and shadow 
Beneath the whispers 
All things hallowed 
Screaming out loud 
Breaking glass walls all around 
Sights and sounds 
Trigger it now 
I can smell those things which others never know 
In the void 
All pain cannot be destroyed 
It only sleeps 
Behind the gates that I have built 
For pain cannot be killed 
Strung out and mystified 
Only you are the one to die 
Don’t run or try to hide 
For it’s a beast that will defy 
One thing gained another lost 
Can you afford the cost 
For when you win someone else must lose 
Or perhaps you have already lost 
Deal the cards 
And roll the dice 
The ace of spades 
Death from up high 
Spells are cast and prayers taught 
To consume the hate that hath been wrought 
Lies and lies on top of lies 
Can’t you see that it can’t last 
The house of cards has it’s last stand 
All to smoke within your hands 
Watch out or it’ll burn you down 
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust 
Ignite the fires 
In no one I trust 
You cannot break me 
As this flame crashes 
And when it’s all over 
Return thee to ashes 
But don’t you wish all things could go up in smoke? 



HAMMER OF THE GODS

With my heavy boots of lead 
Cum on feel the noize and bang your head 
Have a Quiet Riot on Skid Row 
Open a pit for the Ratts to go 
In a Mean Machine on the Highway to Hell 
Your Dead Babies can take care of themselves 
The Zeppelins on fire and ready to crash 

We fuck with chainsaws 
razor blades and wrecking balls 
wrapped up in black tape 
handcuffs and towing chains 
spiders scream like angels cry 
we will show them how to die 
raise the hammer to crack the sky 
bloody tearless eyes 

we only come out at night 
the suns rays scratch and bite 
we have no fear of winters blight 
wild turkey and cyanide 

spinning cylinder suicide 
one in the chamber betweent he eyes 
hit the hammer make the spark 
smoke cuts through the dark 
echoing the sound of larks 
that no swan can compare 

engines fueled with alcohol 
don't forget my wrecking balls 
deal the hands of spades and hearts 
spontaneously combusted ruins 
dance amidst the clapping spoons 
can you hear the flutist tunes 
when your head explodes as engines start 

In my dreams of secret doors 
chased by dead with horror scores 
spells are cast by familiar faces 
i can float beyond their chases 
why do all the doors lead to departments 
down the street and up the road 
through chainedlocks of hotels old 
behind the alley they're cut your throat 
for 20 dollars that you've just blown 
some managers can't hold their load 

scream for me as i decend 
blackened walls or burning friends 
hipodermic flamed out death 
stench of blood clots on their breaths 
they die in back halls alone and cold 
not even a penny for their soul is sold 

We only come out at night 
amidst the fiddlers in neon light 
cross from bridge that billy joe jumped 
from when he was drunk and humped 
was it that bad to keep a secret 
many have died for less 
Leaving their loves behind breathless 
selfish acts of forgotten souls 
in a 100 years the history books are sold 
with movie rights of days of old 



AUTUMN ASHES 

Daddy's sorry he can't be there 
when you laugh or smile 
but remember this my little ones 
I can see for miles 
Your voices are in my head 
like you're standing next to me 
With all the things you've said to me 
since you began to live 
When you danced and played 
or when you sang of london't bridge 
Dance Loki dance 
as the Raven sings 
lLouder than a banshee 
throughout the night it rings 
Through the mist and the clouds 
to me it calls 
For your voices can reach me 
far past the thickest walls 
Autumn Ashes scattered round 
the brightly coloured leaves 
Reborn again like a phoenix 
your eyes will soon to see 
For your the ones who brought me back 
from the hole in which i crawled 
To rise again from my despair 
to break outside these walls 
When you think i'm not there 
just watch the blood course through your veins 
Within it lies a special code 
that forever echoes my name 
For though we may be parted by many miles of land 
I was the one to plant the seed when this dance begin...



FRAGMENTS OF AN ILLUSION

Blood tears are falling
Down from my darkened eyes
I promised I'd never cry again..for you

But the pain it tears inside me
And it never goes away
It burns the fragments of my heart
That you have left behind
You could have stayed
And saved me this pain
But in the darkness
You roamed the night
For your next victim
To sacrifice

To a god you've never seen
Claimed to felt
In a ten year gone dream
I'm sure angels high in heaven
Heard my screams

Don't forsake me
Just because I'm not what you wished for
The one of your dreams
To make a princess of a whore

It's not real
This thing you search for
It's an illusion
Created from the hypocrisy
Of these wretched human beings

Born with souls they cannot touch
A crown of thorns 
Upon the head
Of a worshiped dead man
A freedom to chose
But the choice has been made for you
By someone who makes a game of your demise

Don't forsake me
Those who tread upon the light as darkness
Hallowed by a slave masters hand
Who spits black venom
On your promised land

Blood tears cease falling
For I don't want to cry no more
All love is gone from my heart
For a deceitful disillusioned whore



DARKENFLAME

I was the darkness
And you were the flame
Lost in the shadows of yesterdays
Roaming forever in these darkenplanes 
No one could see

Blackened by lust and greed
Embedded in hate
All those who dared tread upon your fate
Outshadowing your heart
Bringing coldness within
All tried to beat you but shall never win
Not it's not too late
I rule the dark
Opening up a path
To let you blue flames spark
I see your will and strength from within
You can still have all your dreams
The dance shall bein
Let no one ever stop you
Or blocken your way
All standing upon your path
Shall be repayed
If you ever need help
Just look to the darkness
My hand is always open
Your tears I'll always kiss

I am the darkness 
And you are the flame
Fear not the shadows of yesterdays
Ruling forever these darken plains
No one can see
