Drift along the cambion lineTrying to escape both space and timeFind a place where i can dwellA void that fits so wellAgainst the flow of forgottenRight down at the bottomWhere wings are free just like thoughtNone of that should be boughtDraft a treaty bleached in wineThe kind that will never be divineWhile talons rap againstContinue reading “Abomination Of Beast And Man”

Distress
Story day is upon us again! I’d call this a Sci-Fi horror. Got inspiration for it from Event Horizon and Sunshine, which are both really great films. Anyway, it’s a long one at about 24,400 words. Oops! Might have got carried away again, but it could have been longer. I cut some bits out fromContinue reading “Distress”
Administer
Swallow the pillPrepare for your killBury some remains in the groundSoil is dirt and we’re not proudDig in deeper to gain a footingSounds so wrong when you’re lookingBut ignore the pomp and deliver a prizeWhen will we get to decide?I don’t have a clueAnd nor do youJust a line in the sandWish it was bandWhileContinue reading “Administer”
Trauma
March across the fields of the dead and goneChant about how you will save the songQuestion all you can about the heart in stoneAs you realise you are far away from home Ready, aim, fire with only rage fuelled desireWhile the cries ring out about the lies of empireNo more taunts about how to startContinue reading “Trauma”
Misdirection
Will you listen to reason?Or just keep stealingHold a torch to the flameInstead of just blameWalk a mile in my shoesAnd not keep moaningOr are just too busy stoning? There are no clouds in the skyBut you keep say they’re comingYou sat for a whileAnd I don’t see anythingDo you even believe…A single word you’reContinue reading “Misdirection”

Cataloging
Cross the names off of the listPerpetual state of won’t be missedTie the noose around the stoneSend them down to the depths belowOne more trick up the sleeveNo one here remembers reprieveJust an outline etched in chalkBecause of the person they did stalkDrove the madness right off the bendCan you not simply comprehend? Well itContinue reading “Cataloging”
Turn The Key
Creeping in the halls of painAnother trophy calls your nameShouting dreams of heresyCan the future ever be free?As the clock does strike twelveSing for revolution bellsFor a night without falling shellsYou pay the piper to end the spell Dillusions of a broken mindThe world will never be so kindSpectres of a broken soulWatch as youContinue reading “Turn The Key”
Extremist
Freedom fighter, terroristJust a matter of perspectiveEven if you use another nameThey all link just the sameInsurgent is another termMuch like being a militantAll claim its for rights and fairnessBut murder shouldn’t be permittedIf you kill then you are the causeAnother criminal outside the lawsSoldiers without a uniformLittle more than hell spawnCutting down who youContinue reading “Extremist”
