Monument IV 03:52
Crooked footsteps haunt these floors Moans of ghosts in orgasm and pain echo through the walls I have given to the world my blood and toil I seek only to give to you in the same way There are no gods left to plague this land, vast and free There are no angels with serpent tongues left to poison you There is no more pain in this body you’ve rented or the mind that you own Only the freedom I have granted unto you to love and be loved by me Stand here with me at this shoreline and stare out into this world Tell me, what does it look like on that far horizon there? Slip your hand into mine and we’ll step out of time and live forever As this monument, this beacon, this eternal unending light will unceasingly shine
2.
Swords 03:01
Bare bones bear the brunt of the punishment Lonely streets and open roads can’t redeem our broken souls Stare into the face of the devil that you loved Pull the shards of your sword from his face As each nail is pounded in, his look remains the same As each lash is granted him, no sign of the euphoric pain I will not carry your cross, I have my own to bear Through these fields of Sodom, through the endless pale There are secrets of the earth below that I seek to know There are demons seeking solace in a ’63 merlot The temple of Lucifer rains down its freeing light Liberation in an embrace; the hands you hold your own As each nail is pounded in, his look remains the same As each lash is granted him, no sign of the euphoric pain I will not carry your cross, I have my own to bear Through these fields of Sodom, through the endless pale Seek me out For the gifts from the ones who are ghosts Seek me out Though we were lost Now we walk with great purpose

Beacon 02:01
I held on for dear life to the memories of a life I died in I hang my head for shame. I cut away the lines to drift And there you stood, A beacon to guide me back Apollo in apogee, awash my form with light Pale reflections in dying stars erase the pain within my heart And there you stood, A beacon to guide me back And its taken me a while, but I know I am not afraid any more Afraid of the love that you have inside Afraid of my own wounds and my wounding hands
4.
Paths 03:16
There is a secret light that burns within And it burns the brightest in company of sin We walk the pathways We are always searching We search our mind for answers but none appear The days are cold now You bundle afraid If I could shield you My life is in your hands Oh how I’ve loved all that you are I’ll caress your body beneath the light of the morning star Here in this temple; the star light in your light brown eyes Moves me to tears, to whet the earth where the old gods lie There is a girl to whom I gave my heart There is a woman to whom I dedicate my art There is a lady to whom I gave my soul And there is you, to whom I gave my all Oh how I’ve loved all that you are I’ll caress your body beneath the light of the morning star Here in this temple; the star light in your light brown eyes Moves me to tears, to whet the earth where the old gods lie

Ave Satanas and pass the wine Pass the joint and cut me a line Speak no evil but my two syllable name I’ll speak no words to the secret shame I’ll hold her closely as she comes Hold tight as I can, for the end is almost upon One day I’ll wake up and see the sun fall Fall down into the ocean And bring about the death of us all I worship his shadow I worship his face I worship his black fire I seek his grace This world is beautiful if you stare at it just right If you find a love to hold you through the endless sepulchral night If you seek my knowledge, send me a sign I’ll seek you where crosses lay broken I’ll seek you where three serpents rise Praise be unto Satan, less praise be unto man there are halloween ghosts floating over this autumnal closed land When every bottle yields the few bright moments I’ll stare longingly disconnected until the sun finally sets This world is beautiful if you stare at it just right If you find a love to hold you through the endless sepulchral night If you seek my knowledge, send me a sign I’ll seek you where crosses lay broken I’ll seek you where three serpents rise and writhe
6.
Metallic taste fills up my mouth I stare blankly for a minute A circular burn fills my entire chest There’s a rip beneath; I’ve been torn asunder by lead and hate And leadened hate has lead us astray from the path that our gods and our fathers laid I see my brothers and sisters lie down Like lambs to our gnawing fate As you weep and pray to the effigies you struggled to throw away know that in your silence our fate is sealed; in open conferences and back-room deals The tree of blind liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots But of what good is liberty when there are no patriots left to heed her call?
7.
Heralding fire, the warmth and the light Destroying angel, avenging and awash and alight There are works to be saved There are cannons to call And hearts must be mended and Gods to be forgot And Hark! at the clarion call I’ve found what I’ve needed to live In your gold and brown eyes I find solace and peace And I’m free Hand held with tenderness Lips pressed so soft and sweet Your scent awaking my greatest desire and needs Sweet dark skin electrified by my touch My lips are holding you to the ground And Hark! at the clarion call I’ve found what I’ve needed to live In your gold and brown eyes I find solace and peace And I’m free
8.
Smile down upon us with your open seeing eye We are your children of these lesser days We have been taught by this world in her beautiful form, Natural and True Unspoiled and in bloom Unshod and unbound, free to love the lost have been found Their names taken and discarded, for their true names must be found Hail! All brothers and sisters, hail! We take what this world must give us Stare at the wrath that we hath lain upon the land of the swine and swain See how they’re fit and ripe for the culling-the harvest-to be slain As youth turn from crosses gold and pale we await the day Of our deliverance from pale steel and hot lead When its no crime to follow your heart or trust your mind And tis folly to follow the blind into darkness for fear of eternal fire So we set alight the fire of life in our hearts in memory of truth, we seek and pledge ourselves to no one but each other, always we walk towards that new dawn. Hail! All brothers and sisters, hail! We take what this world must give us So you think you should live As if any of us would ever chose thus?
9.
Say goodnight to the stars, because tonight, its just us Here in this place, this cold empty world, this cold empty dark We said we rejected the light and its damning warmth So we’ll lie here unshod upon this cold earthen sod, grass our blanket I will embrace you here, beneath this starless night I will make you mine We will hide always here, forever lost, forever young So come sit down by me my love, let’s make this the greatest night
