"I have come to bring fire, and how I wish it were already kindled!... Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth?

"Be what it is my destiny to be, The saviour and strength of suffering man, Or sink into the original fuld of things: There is no agony, and no solace left; Earth can console, Heaven can torment me no more." - Percy Shelley, Prometheus Unbound No sleep, no dreams, no making mankinds peace The furies for company and the rejection of that infinity Abomination of my clay brothers... We are the mud and filth of this earth Of what we can and would become This likeness is all we are Artist of my clay spirit I am the reclaimed fallen son Of what we can or would die to see: I fire in the hearts of men In blackest day of generations My end is to end as the dead We dead promethean sons End of the dead "Titans, Behold your God!" Bow before the potter's Son My end is to end as the dead Promethean child! "Titans, behold your God!" He canst become no clearer God of all, star-inwoven He hast love beyond Reaper! "Champion of heaven's slaves" Oblivion Son We canst grieve no more... Io! Barest of love Oblivion soul We canst bear no more...

"Avarice, or the desire of gain, is a universal passion, which operates at all times, at all places, and upon all persons." - David Hume Live long the curse of Midas. Be warned of greed and golden pastures. For years, I've often sat and pondered "What more should I obtain" "What else is left to conquer?" Power, yes everlasting power Obtained by wealth and gold A force that I can touch and hold Ignorance and avarice Hand in hand as one Servant, bring my plate, I have a hunger For I cannot live on my riches alone Servant, night is close, where is my daughter? What do you mean she's on the lawn? Call her name, bring her to me. What do you mean she's stiff and cold? My own blood now a trophy? My Dionysis, I've paid your price in full. My kingdom lies in ruins from their king, From my own hand my kingdom lies in ruins I realize now my life's importance I realize now my lesson learned Each step I take toward golden fortune That's one more foot in the ground Please lift this curse from my head Please lift this curse from my hands Just let me wash my hands of this

"The strength of the wolf determines the strength of the pack; the strength of the pack determines the strength of the wolf." - Rudyard Kipling Another night brings uncertain hunger and one more moon might satisfy that. My eyes were meant to sift through the shadows with razor teeth I ache and wait for the hunt My

"The time for war has not yet come, but it will, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." - Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson The Twin Heads: "Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight My light shineth the way Forward through ash and fog and fear It is flaming madness I see... in all whom I command Set flame to a million empirical states That will not bare my faces I am at peace with the madness of my race Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight..." Warriors: "Beholdeth what we cannot see God of gods! Law by nature, by will alone Infinite Titanic Immortal Oh! Faceless might Grant us the sight Through the ash and flame The hymns of chaos rise!" The Poet: Warring iron gods And madness' undying flame Carmen ex ignis Cantus ex metus

"Life is the childhood of our immortality." - Goethe Ice! Aphelion! Hail beyond the halls of time To vast waste of ice and Alluvial mass Logos! Ad Pathos! So be it ever after Thy souls, themselves, are bringers of disease Chaos, saty, servant of strymphalian rage And that hideous strength that saileth from beyond Io, lycanthropy! Bare thy claws and fangs Time shall ever call my name Ad infinitum The hand of Gaia The womb of mother ice Borealis shines And burns the will of man Giants circle and roar Heka Secondus! I hath prayed for strength And my hell is here And my hell is real

"They wanted, as we say, 'to call their souls their own.' but that means to live a lie, for our souls are not, in fact, our own." - C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain The continuum I behold, such is my inner want Not that I should bold above that which is not around me The art of soul is now meaningless As I behold my total lack of self Lo! Demeter Behold the eart Above and below Thou makest believe Uncreated! Above the sphere Rebellious globe Thou makes us believe Why, oh why, are we left? To be sin in such perfect a place The desolate mind is so perfectly spoiled In the eyes of a raptures snake Eyes of a raptures snake Hear me speak, brothers of the earth My words that shattered like clay So I speak as if thou were a child Lest fire besiegeth thy hearts Beckon forth! The soulless mankind Standing in ranks of thousands still more But this fate is what I have always feared for we soulless men We soulless men
