sundered time, crumbling space
expanding unconscious
every drop of blood in me
seething magma, hot ashes
smouldering primal form
every drop of blood in me
glowing iron, rain of fire
suppressed rage
every drop of blood in me
eternal stigma, etching reproach
a derailed moment
every drop of blood in me
save me, soul-inquisitor
as every drop within me
brings destruction and creation
holds eternity and doom
killing me bit by bit
then, with a laugh, he resurects me

What We Deserve
05:29
|
|

seeds of madness sown by faith
raised by time eternal
growing on remorse
protected by a self-sacrificing body
in the same filth
we are all withering slowly
näive heart of eternal hope
writhes in silent agony
they said we kept growing
as a tumour we consume
our shriveled selves and the earth screams
the civilisation blues
What's the sense? Where's the aim?
survive and breed
and go on killing all
that endured and kept us living
Chained for ever by our karma
we go on chewing Eve's apple
with a smile we drink the foul words
of the soul-snake
Maybe that is all
we deserve to become
our own parasites
from the front row

Midwife of New Hope
07:16
|
|
||
searing pain, a renewing wound,
come, silky dreams,
promise me,
kill me,
slowly shriveling, eternal discord,
come, deceitful hopes,
haunt me,
tear me,
all that is beauty, criples,
all that promises , unnerves,
as the moment fades,
they deceive and vanish,
their lack brings more pain
than solitude's craze,
than the cry of fate
ripping sinews, slowly splitting mind,
come, fiery demons,
love me,
embrace me,
crucified soul, feast of flesh,
come, childhood fears,
protect me,
conceal me.
all the ugliness caresses,
all that is dead beckons,
as the curtain will fall,
and every moment of suffering
is a midwife of new hope in me,
like the awakening elementary power,
like the cleansing acid rain

Ordinary Day

along dirty, sodden roads
shadow images of lost dreams
brooding, slowly walking
into the damp mist
tear-eyed city awaits
biding its time, drawing back claws
my soul drifts out of its body
a child eager to play
give me a moment
to understand the power of time
to overwhelm and feign life
just a fleeting illusion
angel tears soak my face
in a little pool
still, I turn my face to the ground,
bitter truth awaits there
sham glitter, lamp-light,
civilisation's filthy mockeries
absolv, depress me
this day is like the others
for a second eternity
touches, consumes me

Awakening
05:48

tonight I woke with a start,
again, like so many times before,
lying in silence and feel
the raindrops pat against the window,
lonely, I marvel at the open gate
of the inner universe
It would be no more than a step
to where delusive time fades,
matter crumbles and turns to dust,
doubt grows distant
and all so unreal,
breaking the dawn of emptiness
I've been there before,
there's no denying it,
It would be easy once more,
maybe I'll do it again,
lie into the lap of oblivion,
ever a piece of me remains there
no! I won't move this time
and resist the calling,
there's someone waiting for me,
every day I must prove
that all the burdens of life
are no more than a fleeting fantasy
in a bursting reality
my existence gains a new meaning,
in the revelation of truth,
shining again, I feel it,
ringing eternity
atones for every sin,
a part of me has resurrected
in it, for it - I live,
now all's so clear!
