Godspeed

like a bat out of hell
out for the blood
upon the renaissance
Its beacon carillons of phenomenon
on and on and on
like a shot to the head
out for the fight
upon this holy land of dying breeds
born again in hallucination
tripping through the dark night of the soul
Godspeed
"and now a great thing in the street
seems human nod
where moving strange democracies
the million masks of God"
fresh out of jail
out for the heir
upon the crowd
bowing crowns
beneath the ground i stand
beyond belief
the map is not the territory
the meal is not the menu
your myth is all but history
your life is not an issue
so die

Pledge be to the
ego with an ID
virus with an IV
MD on the TV
lizard in the ivy
- league with an elite
rank among the fleet
directing directly
behind the scenes
for the
creature with an atom bomb
rigging the republic
democratic circus
servicing the public
vices, wars and sodas
volunteering young ones
drafted off as commerce
camouflaging coffins
solider stocking stuffers
the holiday is among us
company attention
costumers in costume
commissioning platoons
flying troops as balloons
two by two
two by two
rendezvous
to the tomb
deja vu
thought you knew
they poster schools
to pilfer fools
just like you
please rise for which it stands
among the scholomance
wise up
tune in
drop out
wake up
remember not
what you've seen
life is not what it seems
right now
just then
and again they beseech
conditioning the mind
is the body that they beat
hatred does not cease by hatred
but only by death
now they wage their wars
on the wicked world
now that the gods have left us
in the crossroads
betting on belief
insured in the crossfire
from sea to shining sea
there's an eagle with an eye on you
free from
where the olives and arrows bloom
over and out of many tombs
engraved I.O.U
oh say can you see
currency
gallantly mainstreaming
bombs bursting
on air and all this just in time
for the dawns early light enterprise
of the creature with an atom bomb
serving swine in restaurants
banking on the living stock
cashing crops
block by block
one by one
bylines read
freedom at a fee
see
it’s students sporting slogans
and concussions
stabbing fun into their normal
boarding buses full of boredom
didn't tell them
that they tote them
to where the totem poll is social
the culture shocks local
they feed your ego
but you know nothing
of the creature with an atom bomb

Ouroboros
01:47
|

this statements false
time and space out of place
strange mazes rearrange the logic of a race
bending time of clocks and spines
decorating finish lines
fundamental drive running in place
slow lucidity
burning in the speed of light
dream within a dream dancing like the smoke
moving through the grass through the graph of a node
views within a muse
monetary soaks drying in the sun
through the glands of a toad
buried alive in the blink of an eye
analysis paralysis
circling the circuses
horses, hearses, myths
and blissful curses
kids killing kids
sentencing adults in pins
hence which now
they live
like dogs of war within
it's capitol punishment

It's a beautiful world
amidst our hex
it's one of kind
i confess
it's a beautiful word
a spell to bless
it's one of kind
i confess
it's a beautiful wake
staged and set
it's one of kind
i confess
it's a beautiful war
a law of death
it's one of a kind
i confess
in faith of fate
in the face of the truth of all truths
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"
then notice how all you once loved will die
shift focus then all you once killed will rise
chiming in the dawn of paradise
chimeras climbing power lines
the dogmas lay in grapevines
red herring scapegoat sacrifice

Death Extravaganza
04:11

welcome welcome
to the death extravaganza
ladies and gentlemen focus on the pendulum
trip into the hall of fame dance upon the graves
and it's you that must see this new before you die
remember the time
because it will certainly remember you
here on the road flying by
see the sights
see the signs
Sell your soul
Buy your time
roulette bet on your life
sitting in the rocking chairs breathing in that rotten air
and it looks so fine feels so cool
channeling views
tuning into news
to be is to be continued
here on the field killing time
See the eyes in the sky
Clouds of mind flying by
feed your head chew your pride
time flies by my friend look alive
sail my soul into the abyss
so it goes because of this
