CHAOS, REVISITED
So wending we’re now on the road of ruin
Deep shadows so red mind blackened with pain
Over rhymes unabashed; the tailored ignorance?
So intrinsic post-frenzy I applaud humanity!
Played along this sordid path
Much aplomb in genocide
Hollowed eyes of rotting skulls
Forlorn gains from fiery skies!
And futile be the word the dogmatic nothing
Where true hopes lay hidden—paid in deep nightmares!
What would we be but flesh so frail?
Of tales in betwixt crestfallen so brief?
So who prays who weeps dear friends?
As the sand it pours out time in vain?
Would we see but eye-to-eye…disdained?
Madrigal of sins full swing but why?
Sold foretold no reasons lost
Damned if so twice damned if don’t
Feigned delirium ordained by chaos
Sought but failed this wanderer now falls!
Believe now and pray or bleed for later
This pained retribution en masse in due death
So soon we’d be gone right back where we’re tainted
Forsooth we shall soon lift the final black curtain!

I REMEMBER…INSANITY
Look within for faces black
Fouled enchained regressive tact
Sordid vows make good the path
To take on truths—salvation strayed!
Craving sundered more rhymes and pain
Dancing nights of smiles and tears
Putrid gleams unsullied grins
I remember…insanity!
Come, lacerate hope with rotting minds
Weep, dare to believe you’re not insane
Brief, what would you be if not for sins?
Hide, where did this road it takes me now?
Stained, chequered red floors of angels’ halls
Dread, don’t you dare say ‘tis but a farce!
Bane, what is this hurt that made you screamed?
Dance, for life is too long to laugh and dream!
Succored love from wars alone
To heave and to hold till time it so rends
Torched ecliptic tastes running dry
I remember…insanity!
Now we’d be of two of none
Turning nights white out the lies
Would you die then burns the world?
Living deaths for lives unchained?
Deeds are done but where is home?
Would they care if things remained?
Found bemoaned but rapt in bliss…
I remember…insanity!
Merriments so due shot in cold sighs
I am the laughter of the nameless tombs
Shut you out but still I’m God
For I remember…insanity!

BLACK-HEARTED SUFI
Taste the unending high, unyielding like the endless sky!
Forsooth I am but one so blessed, in reaching out to touch it all
As such this me the utmost being, begetting powers beyond all dreams!
And such will be for His Decree, descending signs of rapture’s seed!
Look at me, a deified human king!
Fall on me, unbending will set free
See these hands, ordained at Heaven’s feet
Bow to me—divinity of deeds!
Gleam unto this cosmic dance—come see them praising me!
As above and so below, there’s nothing I can’t be!
Succinctly claimed my aerial grace—to which I’d give not free
Search no more the path of light—‘tis be supernal glee!
If such there’d be but death of hope--to me no secret’s great
For there upon the Throne Most High, I’ll be your savior’s sigh!

TWILIGHT CATHARSIS
Oh, delightful, defining!
So sweetly this darkness, like tears in all funerals...
And here be blights, like sights on heights so spurning disdain
Such soothing much fated it blew hope to kingdom come!
So damning so great my endless hate
For soon to boon on twilight catharsis!
And soon forsooth...
As the children of the night they’d sing of lost morrow
Who else now might come placating undeath
As midnight graces thee?
But to what ends might life, makes good all lost hopes?
For cold stones engraved, and lovers did sigh, on yesterdays’ high?
But such be the price, as time speaks no more...
And blood is my thirst for blood is of life!
In brief did all grief it parts well all reason!
And so this dark soul he wends on his way
Through darkness post-death forever in bliss
For soon to boon on twilight catharsis!

MISERY, REVISITED
I am...so very...alone
I can’t…go on…living like this
Standing in the darkness, feeling so cold
Counting back the days I’ve spent in regret
The light was never there but still I pressed on
Hearing as my past keeps cursing my present
Shedding useless tears like I’ve done it forever
My life’s a joke; a living mistake!
I cry out my plight, my words are but glass
That shreds on my heart as it bleeds and rots
Nothing that I do, is not without failures
I’m useless...hopeless...helpless!
(Chorus1)
Here is a dreamer, a dream destroyed
A sorry, good-for-nothing, and going nowhere
Forever he’s bound for ridicule and shame
Walking on roads he should not have taken…
Painfully I tread, on pieces of my mind
Wiping the dirt they kicked at my face
Feeling as the rain rips through my soul
And with each new step, it hurts even more!
I’m counting the days left in my life
Yearning for death to free me from pain
I don’t belong here; I always knew that
But all is too late now, all is unforgiven!
(Chorus2)
Now I’m lost in a world that never wanted me
Walking the path of impending destruction
With all my failures keep pushing me from behind
And my God is now, no more by my side!
(Outro)
No; this can’t be happening to me!
Why me...why now...why?

ENEMY WITHIN ME:
(Verse 1)
I walked alone in the midnight...
No one beside me to ease my pain!
Now that my happiness has gone...
I got no one to turn to!
Then all the sudden my dry road...
Drenched and cold by the rain!
Thunder and lightning came crashing...
Into the bottom of dead hopes!
(Verse 2)
Then, I saw myself in front of me
Baring all the hatred in my heart
Never will I pass this sordid chance
To have his head inside of my grasp
(Verse 3)
But, I know the scores will not be mine
For he always gets the upper hand
Every time I see him I will lose
This enemy within me is strong
(Verse 4)
Hey, I feel forsaken and unloved
Every time I look towards the sky
Nobody to smile and me and say:
“Hey, Life is still long so try again!”

JOHNNY DEMONIC:
(Verse 1)
Be still in your seat as nightmare unfolds
Of madness downloading—the ringside seat!
Who says that evil is but flesh and blood?
‘Tis Johnny Demonic the face of death!
(Verse 2)
Bleeping modems viral pains
The devil’s in your glowing screen!
Ones and Zeroes, blood red throes
Dying cries in bits and bytes!
(Verse 3)
Virtual doom in algorithms
Liquidating brains!
Pixelated hell on earth
Dubbed as the worldwide web!
(Chorus)
Cyberspace the killing is nigh!
Say your prayers or die in a sigh!
CPUs of morbid delights!
Motherboards of Satans alight!
