As My Tears Run Red

11:00 Another body falls This strange infection continues to grow Surrounding our every move Look, in the corner Such a ghastly sight Those red eyes filled with sorrow That festering decay of the green death His body ravaged How can he exist? Who would want to live that way? Stealthily, I maintain my distance I will not fall prey to this vile demon The rot will not overtake me Turning the corner I see even more victims Carousing throughout the corridor The infestation searching for hosts like zombies for brains Only a few of us remain strong on this funeral barge Defying the poisonous torture How much longer can we survive on this floating prison? Our friends destroyed Our search for the cure must continue 11:30 Another man falls No one is safe Our lives ruined All hope lost!

A little creative influx while listening to the new Reverend Hoton Heat CD, Laughin' & Cryin'. Now, if I just had some PBR... And then the walls came Vanquishing the perfection of the deeds Suffocating the genius No more whores falling prey to the sweet blade At least not now The prophesy foretold the demise Carved sigils in the curves of the desired The subjects of the masterpiece Still, the weight of the stone torments the soul Night after night, closing in on the emptiness Six by six Four by four Two by two Sunrise again Alas, a last breath? One last signature on the canvas Good morning darling, have a good night? What… No? Sharpness slices the tension Another body falls Another wall crumbles Eyes, breasts, tongues The unborn Limbs of lust lay scattered throughout the depths Beneath the raging lair Above Neptune’s inferno Yet, something remains Alive, so to gather fruit for the lion to dine Silently creeping into the maestros arms Temptin...

I remember leaving your house at dusk that fall night with the eerie mist and the brisk winds howling through Appalachia etched into my mind. Our sins were weighing on my soul. These forbidden desires we harbor in this illicit union. I could still taste you on my lips, your soft pale flesh, so sweet, so luscious. My mind entranced by the thoughts of your beauty, but my heart torn on the reality of the situation. Our end was near. I started up the summit with the Beautiful South streaming out of my Ipod; their music, creating the perfect soundtrack for my life, filling my mind with remorse and regret. Our unholy bond in the forefront, the thoughts of truth silenced. Our last ritual together changed everything. As soon as the blood flowed into the chalice, I knew we could rule the world. From the first slit of the wrist, to the depths of your inner thighs, we could indeed be one. Apart we are but pawns, but now, after what seems like all perpetuity, we exist together. I must break m...

The signpost speaks volumes with silence Cappuccini At last, the grand gateway to despair is here The spiral staircase winding deep into the depths of the catacomb My heart skips a beat Thoughts or remorse follow Yet, here I stand at the threshold of death I am torn Could this surreal monument exist? The bodies, the remains, can they be real They have to be Why else would this house of macabre survive? The vestiges cry out The tragic stories pierce my soul Their feelings of pain and agony Fill the darkness with life Tears of mourning from generations Fill the dampness with sadness With Love These souls surround me Over there is a king, 1764 – 1801 A virgin, 1813 – 1835 You, 1845 - 1886 Why are you so familiar to me? Your presence so real Almost a vision I have encountered many times before Leading me down my path Speaking truths in my nightly ventures into the unknown What secret do you hold? Why me Thoughts run wild inside my mind I must move on I ca...

My path to darkness is lined by the unknown Posts leading to balance To understanding In the distance, I can see them Waiting to impale me with deceit To tempt me with visions of passion Engulf me with pain and despair Is it necessary? Will it enlighten me? My path to darkness is lined by the unknown My future clouded in fear I make my way to their chamber Seeking the secrets that they harbor Willing to stand in front of the mass To face the pain, despair and deceit Our bodies stand apart Their warmth penetrates my being Overwhelming my senses Enlightening me
