| Embrace Consequence Judgement lies before the dawn. I belonged in hell all along. Sins wrought deep within my chest, Screaming the need to be confessed. Weighted down by many fears, Diluted with the crimson tears. Crying puddles of twisted light, Vermillion curtains obscuring sight. To all evil, I was now blind; A tolerance built up to ease my mind. Judgement waits on ahead, While heresy's still spoon-fed, Accepted with gratitude and praise. In the fires, I will braise, Roasted and scorched to blackened heap Demons feasting freely on my meat. Contented still am I, free of virginal glare. There's only liars and hypocrites up there. |
| Who Else Would do it but Me? I didn't mean to, but Cupid's dead. His attempts always failed me, So he shot himself in the head. My case, you know, was hopeless. No love could ever come for me. Cupid himself gave up, I guess. He'd never, ever lost before. I was the launching pad, Rocketing him on a path he abhorred. Oh, dear, I think Cupid's gone. The world can never know love. Yet they hadn't used it for so long . . . People, people, I've ruined you. You'll never feel completely happy. You'll never find a love that's true. Cupid, cupid, forgive me please. I didn't mean you harm. I didn't want you to leave! The world needs you, I'm sure. It's far too hateful and warlike. I know that love would be the cure. |
| Roar Why deny it now, you stupid cunt? It's out in the open, Blatant and obvious. Why hide it now? It's no surprise. Stop being so secretive. Let's expose the lies! Why squirrel it away, you little whore? Everyone already knows. They're not stupid, dear. I think we should settle the score. Why not speak the truth? Go ahead! Make up your damn mind, And stop quivering lips. Tell them it's your fault I'm dead. Why not admit it? They already know! You're inconsiderate and selfish, Self-absorbed little hypocrite. Who else caused it, do you suppose? No one! No one! No one but you! No one! No one! Let's tell the truth! No one! No one! All your fault! No one! No one! Unlock the vault! No one! No one! Only you! No one! No one! I thought you knew. |
| River Subtle roar of destiny, Moaning again listlessly. Dying in peace, dying in agony. Praying for you & condemning me. Never equate the goals, Never conform to the mold. Reach quickly to hold me fast, Weeping sadly as I hurry past. Leave behind the contradiction, Heal the human affliction. Rent these bonds, let me float away. Don't let me wallow here another day. The pit is dank, filthy, and dark. Knowledge that the light wasn't far, Nibbles crazily at my sanity. Wishing for the wholesome remedy. Seeing in the mirror the demon in me. Evil, heartless, and desperately ugly. So try to reach and catch my coattails. Weeping sadly when you fail. Don't make me stay in a place I hate. Your effort comes far too late. |
| Cynicism is the Way All the choirs can raise their voice, And sing in blissful harmony. Heaven's angels can step down, To proclaim we'll get along famously. The poets of the world can write, Of true love for you and me, But all the useless optimism, Cannot conceal the mount of sins. Wake up and greet the cruel sun. Wake up and know you're not the one. Wake up to cold oblivion. All your hopes & dreams can materialize, Build your castle in the sky. All your worries can vanish too, Become untethered from you mind. The world can stop & make you whole, Stop being so damn mean. All the idiots could finally shut up, And not be so frustrating. Wake up and see that it's impossible. Wake up to the barrier impassible. Wake up to your shattered castle. |
| Goddess Plight Persephone rides, On nightmare wheels. Flight black with false sex appeal. Persephone flies, On jets first class, From here to there with monoxide blast. Persephone cries, In multi-coloured hue, Rainbow'd colours from red to blue. Persephone lies, In elegant tales, Scattered with secrets, gorgeous & frail. Persephone eyes, Bore ruthlessly, For truths hidden imperceptibly. Persephone dies, Alone and unheeded. She didn't think that she was needed. |
