The muse I’ve bought and fuck
Now brings about rebirth
The child of that rape:
My son, artistic worth
But then the Shaper comes
And constant are the dreams
When all my ink is spilled
Then blood will fill the reams
Hearts beat to dust in his hands
His moon-white hands
Eyes burn like stars in his head
His spider’s head
Blacker than black is his den
I’ll never sleep again
For sixty years these flowers
And this burning scroll
Have kept her prisoner
From Helicon I stole
The ninth, the youngest once
Was at my erection’s call
She filled my head but now
There’s no ideas at all
Hearts beat to dust in his hands
His moon-white hands
Eyes burn like stars in his head
His spider’s head
Blacker than black is his den
I’ll never sleep again
I’ll never sleep again…

Dejah Thoris

Red flesh held by chains and bars
Green dominates a princess of Mars
Tender flesh held behind bars
Tharks dominate a princess of Mars
Love, inhuman, beyond the stars
A Jeddak’s seed: a princess of Mars
War, inhuman, on planets’ stars
A Jeddak’s grief: a princess of Mars
I’ve spent a decade’s worth of longing
To see my loved one’s red again
Autumn’s limbs, subduing Tars
The unveiled sun: a princess of Mars
Harvest limbs, subduing Tars
The dawning sun: a princess of Mars

FINISH HIM!
01:08
|
|||
Outerrealm invasion force
Your death in demons roam
Your world ends now
One amongst the fighting horde
Has charm to soften stone
My world ends now
Take me in your lipless mouth
I tear myself up on your smile
Then cum on the blood and the bile
Swaying as a dancer sways
A show of angel’s grace
My world ends now
Brutal when the veil is dropped
A whole-jaw feast of face
My love thrives now
My love’s teeth will FINISH HIM!
I’m hard to think she’ll FINISH HIM!
Bones licked cleaned to FINISH HIM!
Why can’t it be me, call: FINISH HIM!
Mileena
Fatality!

FUCK YOU!

Coffin Hill, MA
03:28
|

Wicked witch of Coffin Hill
Buried in the woods and waits there still
Hide your face and close your eyes
If you see her you will die
Only the crows to hear you cry
Only the crows to hear you beg for life
Tonight, we pay the price
Tonight, we pay with blood
One dead – Left only red
One gone – Drove out of her head
Witch’s blood flows through these veins
I bear that which gave this town’s name
Healthy, I unleashed a curse
Now bullet-blind I’ll work its reverse
Only the crows to save my life
Only crows to save my worthless life
We’ll drink the Galanthine
We’ll know what’s not dream
We’ll travel these dark woods
In bent reality
Tonight, we’ll swallow snow
Tonight, the witch we’ll know

The Seventh Seal
03:52
|
|||
Two horses, without saddles,
Drink from the waves
As they crash
Upon a rocky shore
Two bodies, used to war, now
Longue upon the
Rocks one gripping
Sword and pawn alike
I meet the one with wistful
Eyes and he to
Me asks for a game
To buy him time
The other holds a
Conversation with a
Hallowed face whose
Tongue is eloquent
The song is Death’s and they all dance
The seventh Seal’s been broken
But there’s nothing found inside
A raging storm ensues, in
Which one sees the
Fearful hand of
God the punisher
The knight, and his retinue,
March the steppe’s
Incline to find a home
Untouched by plague
The child of the actors,
Michael, lives with
Vision in his future—
Radiant
But Block, and all of those he
Loves, will follow me—
They’ll dance and
Hand in hand they’ll die
It is finished

Hour Of The Wolf
03:12
|
|||
With blue surrounding and blue above
The island was an azure coffin
The perfect place for a painter to die
The joy of line on paper was a truncated spring
Killed by a winter’s worth of insanity
Before any bud could blossom
The end began as an annoyance
When he discovered footprints in the mud
Below and all around the kitchen window
But as work soured, they come at him
With a fiercer tenacity
Then even the wolves that they were had been known to show before
Each personality a dart, in the moonlight, sea gray, sinking into his flanks
Slowing him and killing him
He sketched them:
The carnivores, the Birdman
He sketched them:
The chattering women,
The Spidermen
He sketched them:
The insects,
The masks, the paint
She with the glued-on face
The Vogler rape
What’s red and white will bob but will not sink
Not at this hour of the wolf when no one sleeps
Too long before the dawn, when most are born or die
When it is light again, and only then, will he close his eyes
A minute can seem an eternity
How long these seconds last
Now it is gone
She found them:
The satchel and the diary
She found them:
The handgun with its artillery
She found them:
No man, but works without their pain
Three bullets’ worth of blood
All washed clean again with rain
What could she have loved in the castle’s woods
An organ picked-over by revenants, their food
Those that from ceilings or from beaks in the shadows laughed
The painter crying red from head and neck, attacked

Lamia
02:43
|

Lamia – I double check
Lamia – Your graceful neck
Lamia – Is tail from here
Lamia – A crown of lights
Lamia – Marks of delight
Gay, but your eyes fear
Misery lurks behind
Your rainbows cannot hide
Ugliness and pain therein
Wrapped up tight in shinny skin
Lamia – Your maddened blood
Lamia – Bakes like mud
Lamia – You’re built again
Lamia – The knot unfurls
Lamia – There stands a girl
Flees from the snake’s den
Free from her scales, she now dreams
Of Hell’s reds and Heaven’s greens
But she steps where love is found
Treading through Corinth’s ground
Lamia – You fill the cup
Lamia – Which love drinks up
Lamia – Enkindles lust
Lamia – Your blood cries out
Lamia – An answer’s shout
You found your Orpheus
But Philosophy,
The ghost of folly,
Haunts love’s revelry
Breeding jealousy
Slinks into your bliss
Makes soft voices hiss
Reason breaks
Arms and legs
Heaven takes
What love begs

Disenchanted Blues
02:00
|
|||
Where the moon’s pearl white fingers play with leaves
Is where my own use to caress
But now it feels as though they’re paper trees
My home poisoned with distress
This forest is so cold
This forest is strange and cold
Where I walked these bowers on hooves of stone
And moved as wind blowing through my cape
I walk a killer’s streets cold and alone
Victim now of Merlin’s rape
My heart’s a plaything long abused
I’ve got the disenchanted blues
Magic’s something I could use
I’ve got the disenchanted blues
I fell hard for the wizard’s ruse
I’ve got the disenchanted blues
Life’s now something I could lose
I’ve got the disenchanted blues

Hunter Rose
01:39
|

Black, white, a blood-red stain
A devil thrives where lovers lain
Motherly love fuels the hunter’s game
An empty soul filled by the insane
Devil by the deed
As Argent intercedes
Ignoring Stacy’s needs
At fork’s point New York City bleeds
The only thing seen through the night
As dead as milk, the Devil’s eyes
A play of words, the ink is red
The Devil’s mask on posters spread
A shock of white, shows what is dead
Red the trail where love has fled
The Devil takes his due
As Argent is run through
What if Stacy knew
The massacre the seaboard rues

Burns At The Touch
00:42
|
|||
There’s a creature in these swamps
Usurping man’s mind
In whose eyes all fear’s reflected back
When you peer into the dark
Your fear screams in his mind
Like a victim stretched upon the rack
Whoever knows fear
Burns at the touch
Of Man-Thing

Witchblade 2
02:12
|
|||
Righteous sword of God
Or hand of the devil himself
A testament to female strength
A badge of penis pelf
A demoness’s eyes
Hides a mother’s heart
Torn as the epicenter
Rends the world apart
Kill Kill Kill – All it wants to do is kill
All we want to do is kill
All I want to do is kill
Bodies forged into guns
Ovens cooking the soft entrails of girls
Licking blood as it runs
Killing’s lust has made reality swirl
Fathered in a lab
And mothered by a clone of evils past
Her only tender touch: a fist
Her dream for might to last
No wonder she must kill
Or that her sword has tasted Father’s blood
No wonder she turned black
When training was her love
Sister clones fight her war
But power slips through her hands like rays of sun
Cracks form where she is sore
Crystal after, rejected, her course is run

The Long Halloween
03:09
|
|||
There is a shadow fallen on this city’s face
No jack-o-lantern’s light will relieve this disgrace
A killer dressed in night will lead a year-long chase
The Roman’s empire will fall
Day by holiday
A rubber nipple silencer kills all the noise
A bathtub brimmed with blood drowns all the festive joys
A lightweight .22, a gun for girls and boys
Every holiday a death
A blood-soaked calendar
A full twelve months of killing’s fear
Twelve months of murder
Why is it in your eyes I’m ranked so very low?
Why isn’t it my strength that helps this family grow?
When is my birthday, Father, do you even know?
I’ve killed tonight – two murderers have felt my wrath
I’ve suffered, took their bruises, had an acid bath
Now I’ve cut out those who have torn this town in half
I know what I have done, I know just what it meant
Pursing criminals had left you cold and spent
I murdered men cause I believe in Harvey Dent
Now every psychopath is called
To seek out “Holiday”
I have everything I wanted
But what of the price?
Life and death: a gamble. Flip
The coin or roll the dice
Guilty or innocent
