Hopeless Dreams

The night cast its shadows of broken promises
As I wandered through the dusk of hopeless dreams
A tapestry of visions torn into pieces
What once the legion of hopes, now run by pests, it seems

Brevis ipsa vita est sed malis fit longior
Gaudia momentanea, sed luctus longaevi
Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis
Confutatis maledictis, voca me cum benedictis

He who is exiled from hope’s tender light
Now a mere corpse amid the mournful wight
Strangled by the dawn, one did not break the night
Seeds of betrayal planted in fractures of my plight

As the black sheep ran from the shed of decadence
What once a temple now cursed with hellish visions
As they carved my sanity with their feeds of lust
No saint, no god, only pretentious disgusts

Brevis ipsa vita est sed malis fit longior
Gaudia momentanea, sed luctus longaevi
Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis
Confutatis maledictis, voca me cum benedictis

Dies sereni perveniunt, sed umbrae eos obruunt
In tenebris saepe ambulamus, lucem quaerentes

Echoes of My Soul

Twilight's fading gleam, my soul doth the nest
What was then sacred, now tainted with sins
From the gilded light to shadow's cold embrace
'Midst spectral scenes where truth hides its face

Hoax rends the curtain, shadows forever cling
Endless plays where I am but a pawn
In ceaseless search for what thy heart shall bring
The dusk awaits, yet I must greet the dawn

Oh, who am I, within this glassy maze?
Art thou the dream, or am I but thy guise?
In mirrored halls, 'neath desire’s beguiling gaze
The line 'twixt self and phantom swiftly dies

Lo, echoes of my soul, they wane and weave
'Midst flick'ring lights and the unyielding cries
A semblance lost, as I, for truth, do grieve
Yet find no solace 'neath the darkened skies

Oh, who am I, within this glassy maze?
Art thou the dream, or am I but thy guise?
In mirrored halls, 'neath desire’s beguiling gaze
The line 'twixt self and phantom swiftly dies

Oh, wherefore art thy visage lost in haze?
Am I the wraith, or thee the hollow guise?
'Neath moon's pale glow and stars' elusive blaze
The veil 'twixt truth and phantom’s artful lies

The Mountain of Forever Waits

Under the moonlit sky
Farewell wine runs dry
One shall march through endless miles
One shall wait amidst time's bitter trials

In the gloomy land where dust-winds blow
Sorrow river, tears of mourning flow
Life's ardor drowns in depths unknown
Promises to return, now mere echoes thrown

Beating drums, king's command cries out
Marching along the river bank, the last troop devout
To a distant fort, where mountains flank
Flags solemnly waving, a farewell they chant

Horses galloping, their neighs resound
Mountains hesitated then craven to the echoes
Drums beating, beats of the hounds
Agonizing wait, none shall knows

Beating drums, king's command cries out
Marching along the river bank, the last troop devout
To a distant fort, where mountains flank
Flags solemnly waving, a farewell they chant

Years passed as she cradles your child
Vows once strong, now faded and defiled
Faraway land, where hopes abide
The mountains of forever wait stand in silent pride

The Curse of Night

Beneath the azure skies, a sovereign reigns supreme
In realms of tranquil grace, the kingdom’s peace serene
With traitorous lovers’ vile, a malign intent
Seas of lies, infidelity, their hearts to treason bent

O’ Night Sword’s nocturnal blight, thy curse doth rend the veil
Embrace of lust and longing ignited the kingdom’s wail
O’er land that once blessed in lush, now draped in shadow’s maw
Whispers echo through the walls, where guilt and woe made their calls

Silence of torment, the truth shan’t be withheld
Lustful embrace, serpents’ kiss, the once-trusted rebelled
Amidst the shadows deep, where betrayal's serpent coils
To pierce the heart of sovereign just, they cast their venomous toils

O’ Night Sword’s nocturnal blight, thy curse doth rend the veil
Embrace of lust and longing ignited the kingdom’s wail
O’er land that once blessed in lush, now draped in shadow’s maw
Whispers echo through the walls, where guilt and woe made their calls

Famine stalks the once-rich fields, disease in every breath
The treacherous reign in sorrow yields, to desolated death
A crown of thorns, a throne of bones, the guilt forever burns
The king betrayed, his vengeance sown, as the curse of night returns

O’ Night Sword’s nocturnal blight, thy curse doth rend the veil
Embrace of lust and longing ignited the kingdom’s wail
O’er land that once blessed in lush, now draped in shadow’s maw
Whispers echo through the walls, where guilt and woe made their calls

Wrath of the Late Huntsman

Pity she craves, whiled away the night
Mirror on the wall, will she looks in despise
Dusty country roads, memories start to fade
Yesterday’s lover’s drifts, a dream-like haze

Destiny gathers words, the pot calling the kettle black
In the garden of our minds, thorns starts to bloom

Scorns of the screw, eyes that judge, hands that claim
Monkey smirks, whispers gather in the crowd
Hearts of the broken, tale unfolds, stories untold
Strumpets weep, trumpets echoes through the street

Here shall she lies, where truth cuts deep
Here shall he lies, where secrets sleep
Death of the tramp, beneath the mountain
Taste the wrath of the late huntsman

The hunts begin, where shall one escape
No place to hide, huntsman sealed her fate
Eyes that smile, hustler’s soulless cries
Lights slowly fading, “Can you see the sight?”

Twists and turns, whispers in the wind
Where lies the truth, the huntsman turned in

Scorns of the screw, eyes that judge, hands that claim
Monkey smirks, whispers gather in the crowd
Hearts of the broken, tale unfolds, stories untold
Strumpets weep, trumpets echoes through the street

Here shall she lies, where truth cuts deep
Here shall he lies, where secrets sleep
Death of the tramp, beneath the mountain
Taste the wrath of the late huntsman

Death to the Nymph

Yearning on the death of the once held dear
Another heart thee decided to tear
Eternity I prayed for thy sanity
To the gods I had never once believed

Left in the dark, thy heart grew cold
Left in the dark, was it ever warm at all?

Broken hopes thou led me on
Twisted words thou left me torn
Eternity I waited for thy return
To the crooked hymn thou made me learn

Disintegrate deceitful art
Disintegrate thy sickened heart

Death to the nymph
Rotten to the core
No tolerance, to the crucified whore
Death to the nymph
Heart filled with hate
Though maggots crawling, you still have a cunt to rape

Had I known the depths of thy depravity
Long ago peace would have come to me
In death, I envy the forever-spared
From the torment from thy false visage

Ede faecum, pedicabo ego vos
Ede faecum, et irrumabo

Death to the nymph
Rotten to the core
No tolerance, to the crucified whore
Death to the nymph
Heart filled with hate
Though maggots crawling, you still have a cunt to rape

Twilight Fantasy

‘Twixt the realms of day and night
I’m wandering lost, devoid of light
Twilight's breath, my heart doth yearn
For the broken hopes that shan’t return

Specter of my once-held dreams
In night's embrace, naught as it seems
Maddened mind, by memories torn
Doth question e'er they were born

‘Twixt the realms of dusk and dawn
Where’s the roses behind these thorns
A visage fair, eyes once kind
Planted the seed that tore my mind

In yon dark night, the whispers creep
Of memories frail, that none may keep
Cry, I cried in my dreams
Can you hear my endless screams?

O, wherefore art thou, fantasy?
In realms of dusk, thou'rt lost to me
Phantom hopes, fleeting dreams
'Neath twilight's veil, silent screams

‘Twixt the midnight and twilight
‘Lone I stand, bathed in moonlight
Twilight’s realm, I question all
Are they but figments, doomed to fall?

Ocean eyes, where truths are veiled
Sorrow calls, where the heart went pale
Bottle’s end, where the dream-light lies
Carrying me to the dreamers’ skies

O, wherefore art thou, fantasy?
In realms of dusk, thou'rt lost to me
Phantom hopes, fleeting dreams
'Neath twilight's veil, silent screams

No hesitation, and now I know
Is there another way to go?
In wrath and woe, in sorrow's thrall
Did e'er such fantasy befall?

Beneath the Moon’s Pale Veil

I gaze upon the silvered sky, a broken shadow speaks
A soul within a stranger’s skin, the silent pain it leaks
Mortal flesh that binds me, a weight I cannot bear
Tainted hands, hunger’s voice, soaked in my despair

The pulses not mine, but his, this prison of decay
Dreams of stars and silent seas, yearning for the days
Each step, not my own, the weight of flesh and bone
A warm embrace, yet so cold, whispering truths I’ve yet to hold

Moonlight, hear my plea, oh, how I long to be free
Moonlight, I wait for thee, see the man I used to be
In this sorrowed haze, how shall I prevail
Now unbound my mortal chain, beneath the moon's pale veil

In the dark, spirit yearns, for peace the body never learns
Used to chase the stars in dreams, now bound to earth by silent screams
For in this cage of skin I burn, a stranger's face that shan’t be turned
How long will you deny the wings I crave to touch the sky?

Moonlight, hear my plea, oh, how I long to be free
Moonlight, I wait for thee, see the man I used to be
In this sorrowed haze, how shall I prevail
Now unbound my mortal chain, beneath the moon's pale veil

Within the Grave

The time has come, dig deep and release me
The fog has cleared, tell me what do you see?

Are there words you wished you did not slip,
Thoughts regretted for eternities?
Is there hatred boiling still,
Yet you wish you did not feel?

I have to pay for the sins
In the world where evil wins
Whispers of death sealed my fate
Within the grave

The time has come, memories start to fade
The flesh has rotten, is your heart still full of hate?

Have you found the silence in your mind,
The peace desperately craved?
Have you thrown your books in hell’s fire,
And see the lies burning bright?

Hell is crawling your way
Hopeless, silently you lay
To evil you are wed
Final tears you shall shed
Bounded by thorns you will be raped
Within the grave
