Past

Hold me tightly in your arms
Do not release your grip
To go down with this ship
tis my choice as t'was captains sin.
'Lo, what a sail it's been.

Surely we have come so far

That Mountian Did Not Defeat Us!

I remember once I had to walk
6 hours up a mountain high!
They didn't tell us how long it'd take
they only said pack light.

We gave Ben the heavy bag.
On the way we ate some mandarins and saw

Never Fool

Love is laying on my plate
To take of it? I would, surely!
But I fear tomorrow will be too late
and today would be too early.

Generation X Responds to Flanders Fields

Generations long have passed
Since you, the brave, have freedom clasped.
I know you hoped and prayed for us,
Sorry to say we are not worth the fuss.
Our memories have gone and gone fast

The Acorn Tree

I gazed upon the acorn tree in the meadow.
It's huge trunk displays time.
Long branches sway and cast a shadow
On grassy floor that looks stained with wine.

A woman there lay underneath it.

Bread (Song Inspired by Twilight)

Your breath so close to mine
stops my heart as my chest caves
Spill my veins, red white wine
Stay quick not to rush the grave

I call out to the black abyss
Keep my soul, its yours

The Great Civil War

far off, in the distance, can you hear?
the battle is beginning to rage
heart beats meet the pace of their hosts fears
beautiful youth take the stage

a role, the table set, a game of chess

Breakable

you've followed my path
watched my steps

haunted my soul
looked into my depths

you've waited and wailed
alone in my bed

waited to see me
to see inside my head

you got me now

Addiction

Finish me off
you cruel fated mask
youve hiden me long
in this cold pewter flask

held in my pocket
and held in my hand
ive loved the sea voyage
but hated the land

my flesh is so weak

Am Ende

Fly thee away
Yet leaving me in dark of night
There is nothing fast as flight

Tricking my eyes
They will not perceive the sun
Soul captive, all life come undone

Tears retreat!

Farwell; the Seas of Devastation

You tempted me
You came with wine of thought
You tempted me
with passions and thoroughly i fought
to hold myself back, a fair distance from the flames,
