Poetry for the Poisoned

On a silent shore, I spoke to God. The sun is down... Assemble the great pandemonium! One more down by the book of Babalon. One more down in accordance with my fate. One long drift across the lake of Avalon. One more trip that I must create. And my eyes sweep a shore that was always there, a blood red line through the sonisphere. I can't resolve where it's coming from, I sense it, the great pandemonium. Just one, just one more... Just one, just one more day! One more day by the pits of Hell, just one more when even yesterday was too late. One more thought that I had to sell, one last trick that you can debate. On a silent shore I confronted fear, I spoke to God but he wasn't there. The sun is down and the war begun, assemble the great pandemonium. Red light, hit the brake now. Red light, hit the brake now. And my eyes sweep a shore that was always there, a blood red line through the sonisphere. I can't resolve where it's coming from, I sense it, the great pandemonium. On a silent shore I confronted fear, I spoke to God but he wasn't there. The sun is down and the war begun, assemble the great pandemonium. Just one, just one more... Just one, just one more day...

I'm not sure if she could ease your pain, you've been gone for a while. Crushed your heart and soul, and teased your bane. Hush your mouth, here she comes. Watch out! She can see you like the hounds of Hell. Smell your fear when you flee. Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise. The power sorceress at your finger tips. God made flesh, perfect alibi. You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves, nobody knows her name. But something must have opened your eyes it seems. Because nothing is quite the same. I'm not sure about a thing you know. Days are long in the haze. Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise. The power sorceress, get a glimpse of God. Here she comes with her good advice. You wanted every single moment, You've resigned. Knowing there's none to blame. You might as well, I swear on my life you tried, as if tomorrow came. Searching in the deepest forest, merging with belief you saw her. All you've seen and all you've known, tells you that she kept you warm. You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves, nobody knows her name. But something must have opened your eyes it seems. Because nothing is quite the same. You wanted every single moment, You've resigned. Knowing there's none to blame. You might as well, I swear on my life you tried, as if tomorrow came.

"Dear Editor, This is the Zodiac speaking. I am back with you, tell Herb Caen I am here. I have always been here! That city pig, Toschi, is good, but I am both smarter and better. He get tired, then leave me alone! I am waiting for a good movie about me. Who will play me? I am now in control of all things Yours truly..."

She was so kind to me, she sang her little shadow song. And I could not resist it, bitter blood, come sing along. With your hand upon the bible would you swear that is the truth? The whole truth and the truth alone! If she had only shut her mouth... Shattered memories of quiet cold rejection. A careful Devil's irony in pure perfection, in pure deceit. You ask me, was it all I had to tell? Was it all I could recall? Know that I broke her neck, a twisted china white visage. I may seem unaffected, but don't we all want to be God? Is it all you can remember, would you swear it on your life? You will never really know my name without reflection. A careful Devil's irony in pure perfection, in pure deceit. But in the moment it's so beautiful. Flow along with a hunger, with the nature of the beast. These are shattered memories of quiet cold rejection. A careful Devil's irony in pure perfection. You will never really know my name without reflection. A careful Devil's irony in pure perfection, in pure deceit.

Someone to protect and be protected by when that certain fury would come. Someone to respect and be respected by when deprivation took its toll on you. No more to defend, fading away! Because we were always alone, we were born in the hunter's season. All I really ever wanted was for you, you to die in the arms of someone. Someone to remember, hold me to the ground when the sudden glory is gone. Mother would you send a sign, a message down? Consolidation with your only son. No more to defend, but someone to love. Because we were always alone, we were born in the hunter's season. All I really ever wanted was for you, you to die in the arms of someone. It's destiny that falls upon you, because nothing remains so long. Only a miracle could have killed the pain. You see, now you're gone! In silent custody you meet my eyes. Though life is long I know you'll wait for me! You know it too... Because we were always alone, we were born in the hunter's season. All I really ever wanted was for you, you to die in the arms of someone.

Call me a liar, a king or a fool. But sing me a song of prosperity. Higher and higher, the farther we fall. Hard to remember. I will surrender and I'll always wait, wait as in all of eternity. Hard to remember and hard to forget, this shadow that hangs over me. Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion. And take away this shadow over me. Cry me a river, but once you run dry. Say there's a reason you do. Godless endeavors, smothered and broken, all that I wanted was you. Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion. Where souls ever die all alone. You're longing for love, not for sympathy. So take away this shadow over me. Under the starlight you shine your solitude. Eyes on the ocean and far beyond, west of the moon. Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion. Where souls ever die all alone. You're longing for love, not for sympathy, over the years. Take me home to your house on a hill, to oblivion. Where souls ever die all alone. You're longing for love, not for sympathy. So take away this shadow over me.

Sunshine, swell life, soak in another day. All that I need is a reason to go. You and I could fly away, we'd go up and never come back down from Heaven, you know... Wake me, revolve in my wounds. Lay down your enemy on the altar of refined deception. Hate me, I'm all over you! Reset the harmony like a fire in the night. Pushing closer, east side silence. One last warning! West side, let all be friends. Every nation, thank you for putting down our arms. "This was the war to end all wars. This was the war to save democracy." Wake me like nails in my spine. Let's play the tragedy in the fire of a last temptation. Hate me for wasting my time on commonalities, in the name of self respect. Don't wait too long, don't harvest too late. May I wish you won't believe in your fate. Wake me, revolve in my wounds. Lay down your enemy in the fire of a last temptation. Hate me for wasting my time on commonalities, in this city of the dead.

In the shadow of my doubt, this life is dust on naked walls. In the ruins of defeat, the spotlights fade. There's a clown without a crowd, his sorrow smiles relentlessly. Welcome winter bittersweet, of final fall. My train of thoughts keep on hauling me over a low again. Easy to see for a someone whose soul can bleed. Who am I to overrule believers at the wonder wall. Some illusions come undone and violently. My train of thoughts keep on hauling me over a low again. Easy to see for a someone whose soul can bleed. My train of thoughts keep on hauling me over a low again. Easy to see for a someone whose soul can bleed. So far astray, when all comes to all. You'll never be satisfied, you might as well let go. My train of thoughts keep on hauling me over a low again. Easy to see for a someone whose soul can bleed.

Pull the trigger now if you're craving a hero, or say life after death. Was it you or was it me who had to fake implementation of a lonely heart, so warm and oh so weak? My fractured eyes In the mold below. The fattest lies hold your needs. Wait for the morning, come a different day. Carry the weight of all you say is wrong. We both would deny there is a secret fate. A seal of woven years of waiting flying by. Rush my head into your wall of complaints, and crush me softly like you crushed yourself asunder. You better leave me be! Now go, for my soul was sold for a rainy day. But it's not too late for a full retreat. Wait for the morning, come a different day. Carry the weight of all you say is wrong. We both would deny there is a secret fate. A seal of woven years of waiting flying by.

There was a time when I was young, a boy with bold ambitions. There was a time when I could tell the crooked from the wicked one. There was a song that someone sung, a hint of recognition. There was a time I knew you well enough to know you won't be gone. Come with me tonight, tell me how it feels to be alive. There was a time I had respect, a name of reputation. There was a time when I could watch myself without being disgraced. Come with me tonight, let us find a place where we can hide. Come into the night, let me show you how we stay alive. "The word "incubus" means "to lie on", and it was believed that any heavy feeling in bed, such as a weight pressing down on your chest especially accompanied by nightmares, was a sure sign that an incubus had attempted to have a nocturnal intercourse with you. Given the religious fervor of the middle ages it is not altogether surprising that the idea of a demon lover, was believed to account of this phenomenon.

A minute more until the light of day is seen. Lay down, I know you must be nearly there. A bloody kiss and the vision of a dream, for the last of your days in the sun. In the white light I am calm yet peculiarly cold. Silent slumber and wide awake, Lord have mercy on my soul. So long your sorrow be gone. Show me how it feels to be alive. No more denial, so long. Let us find a place where we can hide. You fed me long, and by God you fed me well. Sleep tight, this day belongs to you my dear. And I am bound like a beast onto its prey, we are one of a kind you and I. Pale moon wander, I'm wide awake. Lord, have mercy on my soul! So long your sorrow be gone. Show me how it feels to be alive. No more denial, so long. Show me all the splendors of the night. So long, the little last of your attention. Sorrow, this flood to wash your mind. See me, the God of your imagination. Feel me, come with me tonight. So long your sorrow be gone, show me how it feels to be alive. No more denial, so long!

I am the hole in your broken heart, I am the reason we all depart. What if all is over?

Life in slow review! I see it with my eyes, deeper down and farther back, the storm reveals a hidden track. The sun is coming through! Down by a lake, as a child without a fear. When a mother's warm embrace made a haven in the maze. Those were the moments and these were my days.

I am scorn in this heavenly scheme, with a stench of destruction. I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams and she knows I'm on the edge. Sacrilege, push me over! Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn. Righting the wrong! I won't stay to stand in line, or wait for God to shine all over me. I wait for the storm! I am you and I know that you heard, you and I are the last at the end of the world. Then we talk, we run and we hide. Then so what, the human race suffocates. Leave me breathless! Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn. Righting the wrong! I won't stay to stand in line, or wait for God to shine all over me. I wait for the storm! Move along through the ashes of a dream. Move along and see myself anew again. Tell me once upon a time I close my eyes and see myself reborn. Righting the wrong! I won't stay to stand in line, or wait for God to shine all over me. I wait for the storm!
