Deathly hatred of life Life with a hatred of death Ritualistic slaughter of good Unrelenting torture BRIDGE Condemnation, a raging fire Eternal damnation of the soul Effected by a carnal existence REFRAIN Hideous laughter, mockery of faith Demonic...

The dead who crave not life, I know not why they lie there floating. They lie devoid of thought, bereft of life and drown in sorrow. Sometimes they scream as life is deprived of them. Life is no dream and death holds no final end. We all must die. Hacki...

I have life, I have time, I I have life, I have time, I I stood inside the cave by the mound of the Skull Examined that which was interred The bones in this grave were human and whole My mind held doubts but my hands were undeterred I have time, I I...

I am not alive, though they say I am. Such is the grave in consequence of man; liar that I am, I am not alive at all, not alive at all, no. I am not alive. Countless years have I spent in my quest, or so it would seem, at the will of my mentor's request f...

The night becomes the day The darkness is swept away My life became the death The pain was in my last spoken breath They always rely Too much on me They hide and think I can't see They offer up their lies I see it lurking behind their eyes I'm not to...

A pool of water, crystal clear and shimmering, beneath the light of an ancient moon. The water's cold tranquility, majestic and refined in stillness and in clime, disturbed in brief by the passage of a lone vessel; the boat in carriage of the solitary one;...

Darkness in the garden The prayers of the Desired of Nations are spent As the blood drips from His flesh Treachery The traitor's kiss of love was active malignity As his hanging and disembowelment would testify He had betrayed innocent blood With torch...

The light of morn pours through the window To settle on pages torn The book, so old, vainly the truth waits for Someone to read but is untold Time is running out for the answer is clearer now Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure A latent vis...

Evil calls to me, reaching out through eternity Evil takes away all the faith that I own today Demons taunt my soul, throw my heart in this wretched hole Jesus calls to me ... I answer No My failing heart is cold unto myself My own convictions have not...

My life, my days, they all just seem to pass away My dreams, my thoughts They all just seemed to come to nought I find each day has its own little story Each waking hour its own little glory The pages say that my soul has been borrowed The night time ca...

Take it all away, I have walked alone And wept in silent thought upon the cobblestone They ridicule my faith, the learned of this rich establishment I fear they hold the truth, that my beliefs are but imaginings Night fears morning My God, take it all a...

Lassitude overwhelming me, my consideration to relent once more strengthened with time. But the pervasiveness of the promise, "Thou shalt not be enticed beyond thy strength to withstand," held firm and true in my heart; the foundation of truth, beaten and...

We sailed from southern England to the coast of Palestine I stepped upon the shore and gazed back across the brine For my own impress I ventured to explore the Holy Land With little more than my faith I turned and made my way across the sand Making my wa...

Within the grave the body lies still beneath the soil Aimless roots invade the casket as the body begins to spoil Bereft of life, this rotting flesh, once nurtured in the womb From uterine to pine it rots inside its silent tomb Demon cry "With howls of la...

When I saw him I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades...

The song I perceive as I wander through the woods through the dim light of dawn, lilts as it's carried on soft shifting winds through the stillness of this early morn. "Upon the hill, east of the woods, the old man stood rapt in thought; gazing, contempla...

Over time they ve forsaken that great war crime of the ages I dig and toil with bleeding hands and recoil At the thought of mine own sunken faith My own heart is as hard as this land Which has been chosen by the Ancient of Days Over time I embrace all...

In the distance, my falcon flies, circling above a clearing in the forest. Suddenly, I hear its cries as it falls to the ground to its death. Leaving Destiny, I rush in the direction of its final cry. I enter the clearing and stop in sudden horror as I view...
