No asylum walls can hold in our love
Violence and this city – a marriage sealed in blood
Terrorizing streets – we tread without care
Exterminating vermin on the ground and in the air
‘Til there’s blood we will not rest
No doubt in the way we’re dressed
Black
Red
Red
Black

There is no Heaven without its chain
No paradise without some blame
There is no Hell if there’s no rose
No pricking and a love that grows
The Devil’s halo when crushed and rolled
Upon the Earth is Heaven’s gold
All things for a fucking price
There’s no Horned God where there’s no life
I’ve been to Heaven, I have the scars to prove it
When the Devil can’t rise
God plummets from his skies
And Death will find the sleep of the Just
A broken heart
A broken sword
Over these
We are their lord

Where the Goddess’ verdure
And the City kiss
At the edge of one construct
Before the next exists
Death encountered Morning and
They found their pain of bliss
He said: Every time I died I thought of you
Every fucking time I died – I thought of you
Every time I made you cry – I thought of you
Every time God kissed the Devil – I thought of you
Every time a race was leveled – I thought of you
You’ve taken me
Beyond Heaven and Hell
You’ve shown me
The soul’s deep well
From which God lives
From which God dies
The flame that thrives
The king that cries
I’ve found myself

She is born
Born again
Loves, and fights, and fucks, and dies
Spring – she departs
A procession that steals my heart
Fall – she returns
And though untouched, knows how to make me burn
Virgin, queen, whore – Cry for Dawn

Nazi Timewar – in 2013
Nazi Timewar – this ain’t no fucking dream
Manhattanites must stand and fight
A new millennial Third Reich
A brand-new World War II
People always ask me why I’m so fucking pissed
Why life’s turns leave me so furious
The heart I never knew I had burnt to a crisp
By black boots stamping all that exits
Nazi Timewar – in 2013
Nazi Timewar – this ain’t no fucking dream
Manhattanites must stand and fight
A new millennial Third Reich
A brand-new World War II
If you hate, then hate
AUTHORITY
If you love, then love
FURIOUSLY
Nazi Timewar – in 2013
Nazi Timewar – this ain’t fucking dream
Manhattanites must stand and fight
A new millennial Third Reich
A brand-new Word War II
And they’re gunning for you

Thy Gate To Open

HOPE – When life is shaped like Hell
HOPE – A grave will break the spell
HOPE – As war encroaches round
HOPE – There’s peace under the ground
They’ll burn you for wanting life without the pain
They value a ghost not the products of the brain
HOPE – There’s death for every lord
HELL – falls by a demon’s sword
At the stake I conjure thee
From the shadows visibly
You in hate eternally
Thy gate to open up to me
HOPE

Changes by Hell’s rightful queen
Have rendered torture but a dream
Gone are the screams by fire light
The Netherworld’s a quiet night
Every human’s future stone
Laid out in this loving home
In peace each soul would always be
Until Hell met Purgatori
In the lively light of altars
Lit without lid
In the secret shadow of the
Pharaoh’s pyramid
Sacrificial draughts and chanting
Call the Devil’s name
Touched, he takes the priestess home
Into his lasting flame
She will taste the blood
Dis bestows upon its child
Glories to behold
Dressed in immortality she’s
More valued than gold
As the Devil’s claws run down her
Thighs, he hesitates
Her teeth find his jugular, it’s
She who dominates
She will taste the blood
Wilder than any demon
In the Devil’s pack
But offspring of the fallen, meaning
She could not go back
Cast into a darkness where he
Thought she’d cease to be
She now finds herself the end of
Graves stretched endlessly
She will taste the blood
Of gods of hate
Of gods in love
She’ll have their blood

All Hope Abandon

Hell’s truth flees the trap inside
Where for years you thought it could hide
Keeping down the Devil in hope
Mega-death the way you would cope
From beneath the peace of the grave
He will rise to make you his slave
Vengeance up from where the king’s hid
Obliterating all that you did
Darkness is your destiny
Darkness is your destiny
Surrender to your depraved state
Hope – but you cannot escape
Darkness is your destiny
Darkness is your destiny
Darkness is your destiny
Darkness is your destiny
Friends made into enemies
Join the Devil’s family
Darkness is your destiny
Darkness is your destiny
Past the Hope and Hades wars
Tell the Devil “I am yours”
Darkness is your destiny

No queen so royal could be for long
A demon to serve at the Devil’s call
It’s her lot to hear nameless wolves, their song
Power angelic on her should fall
Costumed in a demon’s red when blue’s at hand
Heaven meets the blackest heart like drops the sand
Taking up itself, the Earth now rises forth
Lending Lady Death its strength to fight the worst
Hope lies in the ground
Death now takes her crown
Panoplied in Heaven’s armor she now fights
Wielding Hell-forged sword and cast-off stone alike
Bringing forth Hell’s judgment at a heightened rate
Introducing Lucifer to Heaven’s gate
Hope lies in the ground
Death now takes her crown
Sequestered with the pain of knowing
Keenly felt and keener growing
Home’s path’s paved with every human heart
With her second half conspiring
Ninety million dead and rising
Death, a fantasy, but here’s their start
Hell’s view’s cluttered up with tombstones
Earth contends with mountain of bones
And its oceans foaming human red
Will her pride be her undoing
Or will she gain what she’s wooing
Ruling us, the Queen of All That’s Dead
We’re dead

She said:
“My man don’t love me
He treats my cruel as fuck
A shadow parts us
Trust me to have bad luck
I’ve tried to flee him
But I can’t leave him
No—
My love is mad
Don’t talk to me about good or bad
My love is mad
It’s killing me but I am glad
My puddin’ don’t love me
He’s rubbed my face in dirt
I’d kill our babies, though
Before I’d hurt that jerk
I’ve tried to flee him
But I can’t leave him
No—
Everything swirls when
I can’t be beside him
The world’s a graying dream of death
That’s drowning me
When we are one and
A knife is in his hand
He paints with bone-white and blood-red
Delighting me!”

The Talking Board Set Chesapeake, Virginia
A band. Mostly unlistenable.
The Talking Board Set recommends:
There's just something about this band...
go to album
Dark, spooky, punky Americana, The Wet Boys is a musical nightmare where Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, the Misfits, and SATAN merge into a single entity of AWESOMENESS.
