Of the penultimate

Left to my own devices
A devious domain remains
Schemes of eternity
Methods to the madness
To it all
Leave everyone with a loss
A loss of speech
And a impediment
Of foot in mouth
And a kick in the ass
With teething and seething
Rabid foaming

Laced in script

Laced in script
Written in by each line
Of the divine of mind
They look for her to burn
In the fires of a higher desire
In abodes above
And grounds below
But before she leaves
We are taken in
And thrown out again
Never leaving a trace
Of what was...

In deep blue and light

Open the mind
Open the eyes
In deep blue and light
I pick up the pieces
And mountains tumble
And I roll it out
Crimson red and white roses
Scatter the big picture
Minds quake and glass shatters
When they look to me they fear
And what they say...

Drive it home

Drive it home
Safe inside
From the fear
That kept them in line
Down by the Oceanside
I baptised myself
And I came out
Bathed in glory
The glories of all that we see
In the celestial lights
Of the heavenlies
Whatever they say means nothing

We live

Waiting drives them mad
But I never do
I never know more than I should
But yet I know everything
And if you couldn't speak freely
Then what are you doing here and now
The future is coming
Its packaged goods
And they sell it for top dollars

Nobody sees the path I lay

Time and continuum
Dated and spaced
I get in and I get out
And nobody sees the path I lay
And when the road crosses
The deal is made
And laid at the root
It is something of more time
That is at hand at the clock
And a kingdom and a horse
And of...

Before the time

Speed and light
Flash of the cameras
Step into the light
And you'll be a Darkstar
To rise and fall
Before the time
Some are tormented by it
Some find it in the pleasures they seek
So finder's are keepers
And losers are weepers
And don't forget...

Long ago

The drop of ink upon paper
Leads all to a frenzy in radius
They lead her to a stadium
And devour her by fire
The cold stone and sword
Is laid at the root
Stricken in age high upon the land
I always get what I want
And tonight I will make history

Skies fall

Skies fall
And eyes rise in the morning
Dawn breaks the day open
To another future that is now
There is no end
So why are they waiting?
And what are they waiting for?
I spent my last dime
On a cup of penny royalties
Every heaven I climb

But the end never comes

Light upon blue and white
Darkness spreads the night
I lie upon my bed and cry out
Whys that let out silent crys
Whatever they say doesn't matter
More and more
I see it all in my fall
Taken back to a time and place
With a smile left on my face...

Radiance lies deep

Radiance lies deep
Eyes cast lights far out
Into the starry heavens
Space and time and matter
Don't stop for anyone looking
In the blink of a life
You can't see pass the past
The future Comes after
When the lights go out
On the dance the floor

She plays and radiates

Stripped down to size
The energy of all the eulogys
Fine tune my mind
Sinking feelings rise
Like tidal waves
Rolling in to soak my clothes
But I leave high and dry
Playing it all the time
Within my mind's eye
My heart penetrates all

Forgotten jewels

Forgotten jewels
Treasured symbols

And suns circle in worlds unknown
They shine in the midst of darkness

Into delusions with a face of cheer

The light spreads the darkness

When and where
And everywhere
The light spreads the darkness
Over the eyes so bright
Never say amen
Pleased with me and my scene
Windows sealed
The light breaks the sky
Open to another day and Dawn
I awake to the morning sun
The stars are the angels...

Eleven to one

Two hearts beat as one

Darkness and light
Clash with titans
Tiny little monsters
Eating human beings
When the night and day
Pass away and the sunshine
Crosses the path of a perfect orbit
Sippin on the eternities
Drink at hand brewing...

In sequence of nine

When the time elapsed
The world fell to a tale
Of myths and cryptic
Words of verse
That caused all to fall
Before us in word
Then we entered
Another world
Of light and truth
Which fell upon
This world's head
Which was sent
Into a nether world

Of one above

Cast out into space

We then return

Lights in the eyes
Bring upon us

In between light and darkness

And just remember

Lose a lifetime
