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,
