Lament of the Old God

LAMENT OF THE OLD GOD
Here in the skies above
With eternal love
I am watching you
As you scheme below
Under heaven's glow
As you build your Satan
Cheer and squeal 'neath your devil's wheel
But it will double deal
It will take you down
You courtly clowns
Round and round
It will take you down to your knees
By extreme and certain degrees
But it is not your destiny
NO!
In the end with it's crown upon your head
And all your gathered dead
You will come to me
Here in the sky you'll be saved
Here by my side you'll be saved
Why is it so
That you don't know that you seek me
How could it be that with your self-deceiving ways you have achieved this thing?
This automaton,
This automat
This automatic life?
Beyond a someone
Beyond a something
But beyond my planning?
NO!
'Cause in the end
With it's crown upon your head
And with all your gathered dead
You will come to me
To this sky above
And my eternal love
Beyond this new thing
Here in the sky you'll be saved
Here by my side you'll be saved
And so, the old god laments
For we have forsaken him in our thoughts
We hold now that his time has passed away
For we're immortal and we'll never have to die.

THE BOATMAN
You say it's a good day
So how does it feel to have another one done?
Still with the program
Selling those tickets for the Boatman all day?
Day after day...
Hey, could it be that dog is turning yellow?
Up on his flat rack telling the people that he's gonna take their souls
To the top of fate
He preys on the lonely
This servant's a phony
All his dead are dead
You follow the Boatman
Yet gone are the remnants of another day's services
You follow the Boatman
'Cause he promised you a ride
Over there, somewhere, to heaven
Oh, so much bullshit
He preys on the lonely
Your servant's a phony
Oh, but you paid your fare
Now there's another place to place your soul
And you know it 'cause it's haunting
It's there in your head if you listen
In your eyes now
In your heart now
Promising all and asking for none
This is the one
This is the One
This is the One and the One and THE ONE
Oh this is the many
And the many is only
All to be as one
One as THE ONE
We are gathered here today
To mark the death of the last of the holy sons
We are here to remark upon the death of deity
Of soothsayer and profit alike
Of ghost and spirit
Specter and sprite

Mission Bell

MISSION BELL
Here beneath the mission bell
I've had the time to wonder
All so simple in my youth
God was love and I the vessel
Now I've come to see the lies
The holy words are ringing hollow
Perverted by the lusts of men
Seeking power over those that follow
Those that follow men
Not for truth
Not for lies
But for dust
Now as I listen to the wise
They say they have created a new destiny
Which doesn't ask of them to prey
But instead to say
I love you
For you are me
As we are we
So let us be
Let us be together
We are we
Let us be together
***Qui autem me audierit absque terrore requiescet et abundantia
perfruetur malorum timore sublato.
Audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernacula possidebit.
Nihil sub sole novum nec valet quisquam dicere ecce hoc recens est iam enim praecessit in saeculis quae fuerunt ante nos.
***Who hears me shall rest without terror and shall enjoy abundance without fear of evils.
Wise men shall hear and shall be wiser and hear that understandeth shall posses governments.
Nothing under the sun is new neither is any man able to say behold this is not new for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.

MONSTER
Sunlight sparkling in her hair
I tear her dress away
Terror flashing in her eyes
I dare not look away
She screams
She faints
I penetrate
I take her fresh virginity
I am machine
And I come so clean
Cleaving flesh like a razor blade
And the sky is full of daffodils
I'm floating away
Surrender
Justice is coming now
Where I am the feature, ya
Justice is coming now
Where I am the creature, ya
Little body
So strong and tight
Poetry in a devil's milieu
Pale dove 'neath my dark demeanour
Blood red is the final cue, ya
Justice is coming now
Where I am the creature, ya
Justice is coming now

OL' CAT HOWL
Been around for years
Way past my prime
When nothing hurts and nothing pleases
It's all about the time
Another day without a reason
So little time to go
Living life as a setting sun
Fires burning low
Oh, don't ya know
Don't wanna heed the sleep that calls
I really wanna know what this thing
This thing is
Thinking about the past
Thinking about the days
Thinking about the flies a'buzzin' round my fuckin' grave
Soon be standing 'fore the teacher
Soon be standing low
Feel the fingers of the reaper
So deadly, deadly cold
Oh, don't ya know
Don't wanna heed the sleep that calls
I really wanna know what this thing
This thing is
I see it there with it's promise of something
Something alien
Yet something forgiving
Should I take this chance
Should I take this great unknown
Or should I take what's promised me
And let my spirit go
I'm just a simple man
No wish to spite the gods
But this life
It's all I have
It's all I have

PSYCHOPATH
Well, you're not like me
And I don''t like you
I don't give a shit about the things you do
All that chitter chatter
Monkeys in a tree
Swine to the slaughter
Soon you'll see
You are the dirt 'neath my feet, ya
I'm saying I'm the better
I am to the wise
The gravity of your humanity's a thin surmise
I wanna see you grovel
I wanna see you prone
I wanna see you humble and quiet before the throne
Corrode like fire and rust
Where time stands still and...
...Forever opens wide
Where there's nowhere to hide
And so there
Deep inside
We will be the wolfsheep crawling
Oh ya, there we shall be
The property of me
Where me is we
The property
So good
Oh so good

THE PLEDGED
Take your love I despise it
It's a sickness
Your need to be needed
Reject me now
But I shall not want
I will not despair for I have found the fire
I know you want me on my knees so you can bear me like some burden on the back of what you see for you as a sacrifice to your lot in life
Our pairing is nothing as compared to the truth of the One!
Our love was an emptiness
I can see that now
We stood before your god and promised to be true
A god you've made meaningless as you deny that vow
You would deny your oath
Your pledge to eternity
You abandon your very god
In leaving me you repudiate your soul
Take your god and despise it
I'll take this new god
This new reality
Where exists absolution without sin
A paradise without pride
Your capricious nature leaves you bereft of all semblance of order in the whimsy of your life as you betray and confuse all those who would believe you're a victim of life
Soon you will follow, follow me
Soon you will follow, follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me
Bitch

THE LOVELY ONES
They're on a journey
Walking through this by themselves
We are the lovely ones
That they do not see
As they rush through their fated lives
Betting all on eternity
Come on baby
Close your eyes and be with me
They're on a journey
Like a map upon the wall
We are the lovely ones that they cannot see
Blind to the death of souls
They live their humanity
Come on baby
Close your eyes and be with me
We'll dance together closely as we drain the sands of time
Trading weaknesses of pleasure
For the vortices of mind
Thinking solely of this union and the universe sublime
Come with me into the garden
Come with me and you will find
That the sound of angels singing
Is the the sound of angels burning
With the all consuming ecstasy of life
We are the lovely ones and only we can see
As we drift through unfettered lives
With no fear of eternity
Come on baby
Close your eyes and be with me

LIONS AND LAMBS
Being a sheep is boredom
Being a wolf is loneliness
Though we may be the just
We too are the killers
This truth will out
As all truth does out
Only as essence can man transcend the monkey
We have no future
Yet we don't want to die
Fussy little rodents
A waste of truth and time
The foolishness of followers is the carpet upon which all kings stride
When you lay down with lions, baby
You best be aware of the sheep
When you lay with the powers, honey
Truth will disturb your sleep
