You scorch the earth with your caustic stare Your baited children dying in your lair They're mesmerized, a glazed look in their eyes They sit in peace and wait for their demise Beware the man with the fevered tongue His words form evil melodies, but must...

Years ago in darker days When health was crippled By the plague Men in armour standing proud Yell their battle cries so loud Young boys shown the way to kill And face the enemy on the hill Taught that war is glorious To fight for their kingdom All ar...

An elder's nostrils flare As quiet calm gives way to chill laden breeze Sand dances in harsh trances Round the bases of acacia trees A steely glare burns beacon like From deep within the butcherbird's eyes Whilst a tribesman glides unnoticed To the plac...

Madness come unto me In my darkened Xanadu The stagnancy of Shangri La Had drifted into view Frame by frame reality Was skewing my perception Til nothing of my past Remained The ultimate deception Colliding with the present With the future thrown a...

Where the ocean meets the shore Two worlds mingle The spray of the surf spitting The coarseness of sand scratching The plurality of your mind Tearing your soul In two Clouds parting in the sky Reveal a lustful moon But in my mind the clouds are Taki...
