Lucid Dreams of a Cryptic Poet (part I - To a Sea Invocation)
I did not ask for this life, it was given to me
Under the sign of the cross or whatever the hell it is they say at birth, I had no choice
Do you think for one second I asked for the darkness, the lonliness, the demons, everything but the light? Well I did not, that really would make me insane
They teach us when we are children not to meddle in things we do not understand ...
Do you still believe that? Well then what magically gives all the answers to you now?
The answer is nothing...You don’t have to live with what’s inside my head but I do my mind is a maze of horrors but it is still my own...so stay the hell out
Fly away, on, a shadows gaze
Today, we pray, on light we made
A cry, to die, no more pain on the inside
The hands, of time, are slow in the twilight
Tonight, the ice is slow it follows us home
In black, I turn back but there’s nothing that I know
A word, that hurts, to show the pain on the inside
It’s a dream, the monsters under your bed, now in your head
It would seem, the terror you’re running from, that’s done you wrong
I feel, the razor cutting my skin, just to let you in
I see the light that guides me to sounds of infinity
A fortune teller once told me how my end would be
The horsemen of the vale but I won’t die on my knees
If you look inside my heart there’s no love
And I’m not afraid to draw first blood
All there exists inside of me
Is endless time no soul will you see

Lucid Dreams of a Cryptic Poet (part II - Journey to the Crypt)
Inside the frame work of my twisted mind
Lies quill and ink to write my demise
A hero’s ending or cruel twist of fate
What’s written in blood will hide your first mistake
I can see behind your eyes
Watch you draw your disguise
Pistols at dawn I’ll put you to the sword
The lock on my chains your demon calls
As I’m led up the staircase
To my minds gallows pole

Lucid Dreams of a Cryptic Poet (part III - Where Eternity Beckons)
I gave my twisted fate to the embers of existence
Goodbye I guess it couldn’t wait for new world order
I had to satisfy the quietus inside my mind
The petals long since fallen from the rose
A secret garden where stories were once told
Now she goes in search of children’s laughter
They’re gone like ghosts that never mattered
She cries with no tears left to fall
She tries but there is no one there at all
Her pain she carries for her fear and sin
Her name is whispered in the wind
She won’t let the monster in
Her life she lays it on the line
Her words a stitch in time
She writes upon a tree
The words once told to me
Her spirit watching over me
Show me the path to the feet of Anubis just like the scripture says
Weigh my heart against the feather
I know my fate let thy will be done and guide me to the fires
My shadow will tip the scales
On your heart is etched a map of your soul you carry till the end
I’ll greet the devil with a smile
I will gladly shake the hand of the ferry man with one golden coin
To journey down the river
Lost souls surround the banks of the damned not one wears a smile
Have they ever known a heart
One can believe but no one sees the truth what’s behind the final curtain
The everlasting question

See You Next Tuesday
I don't put my pinky out when I drink my best red wine
May be a sin but it ain't no law or I'd be servin' time
I speak the english of the good old queen but she ain't no friend of mine
What gives the fucking right to you to tell me where's the line
Can't preach it too me
Under your foreign sign
Never salute you
This bird's gonna fly
She puts on a foreign accent that I can see right through
A couple of hours tryin' to keep my cool but it starts to get to you
Myself I might be many things but what you see is what you get
The lord knows I ain't perfect but I ain't done tryin' yet
Can't preach it too me
Under your foreign sign
Never salute you
This bird's gonna fly
And all my life long
You made a fool outta me
I've been tryin' for so long
To fight what's killing me

For Your Luck (for your life)
Take a walk down the sunset strip as the night rolls around and she’s lookin’ for tips
Behind the curtain her life style hides as the sun goes down but she’s terrified
Million dollar man and he’s lookin’ flash she’ll do anything if he puts up the cash
And she’ll contemplate her suicide when the rooster crows and there’s no darkness to hide
What she’s done
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time
I got some money, spend my time going insane my head locked and loaded on whisky, cocaine
But now I don’t need that shit anymore and I get my highs from the rock n roll show
One night when the curtain came down and I saw her face out at the front of the crowd
I could see what no one else could see I could see her fear and see those tears
In her eyes
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time
And I
Only me
I could see
The hell
Where she’s been
A night queen
Its obscene
Her life told a tale of slaves and masters of hell in chains and one night disasters
Scarred for life a distasteful angel nights of evil dealings and perfect strangers
I made my offer and I named my price and put my money down just to save her life
Now I want to see her living free see her livin’ out the things that she sees
In her dreams
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time

Lakes of Black

Lakes of Black
Dying swans swim in lakes of black
Filled with tears that fell long ago
A child walks across the sand
Toward the angels of the shore
No mother's voice to guide her home
No father to answer the call
Her brother's tears fall silently
There is no one there at all
She must learn much to young
The fates are cutting threads
When the setting sun brings nightmares of home
The river is turning red
No mother comes to dry her tears
No father to fight her fears
Her brother just a distant memory
Of the darkness of these years
When she says her prayers, is there someone there she's only asking for a smile
In the dead of night when she shuts her eyes for a dream to bring a smile
If I asked you, what she's going through you couldn't find an answer
Because you don't see true, what she's going through just tho find an answer
She heard her mother's voice from the other side
Her father answered the call
And her brother smiled silently
No longer having to hide

When You Turn Out the Lights
You told me you’d been lonely, cried your tears in between
Watching your life unfolding on the silver screen
I’d recognize a lonely smile from the darkness where I’ve been
And I can see the masked denial that hides a lover’s dream
I saw your face before me, saw the pain in your eyes
As your tears started falling, behind the flicker of your smile
Just for a passing moment, you let me look inside your heart
Every picture tells a story of brand new start
I really think I fell for you
The moment you caught my eye
And I start to dream of telling you
You put a heart back in my life
Lauretta, you feel you’re walking in lightning
Will you tell me, is the pain worse at night
And it kills me, because I can’t say a word
All for love,
When you turn out the light
You don’t have to say you love me just promise you won’t leave
Until the end of my time I’d say right by your side
Take your hand I’d hold you and turn your nightmares into dreams
Just to see you smile I’d lay down my life
I really think I fell for you
The moment you caught my eye
And I start to dream of telling you
You put a heart back in my life
Lauretta, you feel you’re walking in lightning
Will you tell me, is the pain worse at night
And it kills me, because I can’t say a word
All for love,
When you turn out the light
Lauretta, you feel you’re walking in lightning
Will you tell me, is the pain worse at night
And it kills me, because I can’t say a word
All for love,
When you turn out the light

Halo
I might not say it lately but I'll take you by the hand
You have horrors in your past they just can't understand
No child should have to look on what your eyes have seen
But you still find a smile somewhere in between
I can't stand to see you cry see tears falling from your eyes oh little darling tell me why you're crying
Just because the sun goes down and the bedroom lights go out doesn't mean that you have to doubt
I'll be forever by your side forever holding back the tide help you fight the fears inside tonight
If you should stumble and you should fall I'll pick you up to carry on everything I got well you can have it all

She Won't Come Home

She Won't Come Home
Don’t drown an angel on the shore
Don’t turn your back don’t close the door
She don’t come around here any more
Sometimes dreams go wrong
Another love song
Sometimes the days are gonna pass you by
Like an aging star out in the sky
She don’t tell you what don’t tell you why
Sometimes dreams go wrong
Another love song
She won’t come home
To my heart of stone
It’s got me so low
That I just can’t get high
Now she’s gone
She’ll tell you the story tell you the words
But in her head it’s not what she heard
Can’t feel the laughter or feel the love
Its only so long
Till this love is long gone
When you write a letter see a photograph
The words you write they’re in the past
And what you see sometimes makes you laugh
Its only so long
Till this love is long gone
She won’t come home
To my heart of stone
It’s got me so low
That I just can’t get high
Now she’s gone
She won’t come home
To my heart of stone
It’s got me so low
That I just can’t get high
Now she’s gone

An Ending Like This
Loch Lomond side out in the pouring rain
I always thought I’d see her differently
Don’t remember walking hand in hand
Loving smile in her eyes I see
I never thought that it would end like this
The razor blade’s a kiss
As I watched the life leave her eyes
I’d hang my head and cry
I hold her close in my blood stained hands
Rainbow fading and now I can’t see
I whisper softly in her ear her favourite words
Look to a setting sun I don’t believe
I never thought that it would end like this
The razor blade’s a kiss
As I watched the life leave her eyes
I’d hang my head and cry
Roads I’ve travelled
Things I’ve done
Hearts unravelled
Fires burned
Words I’ve written
Songs we’ve played
Times been bitten
Mistakes I’ve made
But in the end when I’m about to break
You were always there
Now I pray for her loving heart
That she’ll forgive me but one last time
They say eternity is forever and a day
But I’d spend every hour watching by her side
I never thought that it would end like this
The razor blade’s a kiss
As I watched the life leave her eyes
I’d hang my head and cry

Every Tear That Falls
It breaks my heart to know she cries in the night
When she turns out the light
Love for her is such a far away dream
For the darkness she has seen
Sometimes she talks sometimes says nothing at all
But I’ll still hold her through it all
I’ll take the time let her make the call
I’ll dry every tear that falls
As I think back on my younger days
Situations and mistakes I’ve made
Doubtful women through a whisky haze
I hope it ain’t too late to change my ways
Every hour every day and night
I’ll still hold her tight
I’ll sing to her beneath the bright star light
But it still don’t make it right
Every moment she stays on my mind
Makes me want to turn back time
I’d give my love give my heart my life
Just to see her smile
As I think back on my younger days
Situations and mistakes I’ve made
Doubtful women through a whisky haze
I hope it ain’t too late to change my ways
When every night she has the same nightmare
I’ll always be there
Give her my heart until my dying day
But I can’t take her pain away
That doesn’t mean I’m gonna turn my back
I’ll help her light the black
Her pretty eyes have always said to me
Her words they set me free
As I think back on my younger days
Situations and mistakes I’ve made
Doubtful women through a whisky haze
I hope it ain’t too late to change my ways

Jayded Son
I always thought we were seein’
Two different points of view
Last time I smelled my cologne
It was comin’ from you
The times I paint it black
You’d try to turn it white
But I still kept you screamin’ for more
When you turned out the lights
Like a runaway train
You let me crash and burn
The doctor’s goin’ insane
Another jaded son
You left me for a rose
Turned out to be a thorn
Tell me when my magic touch
Started feelin’ so wrong
You wore the mask of a smile
But only for me
But you kept the true colours of your heart
Under lock and key
Like a runaway train
You let me crash and burn
The doctor’s goin’ insane
Another jaded son
When I’m lookin’ back now
I see the neon signs
Spend my time firewater moonshine
With another line
It’s amazing how much clearer
You see the word in a daze
I won’t spend my life markin’ time
It’s never too late
Like a runaway train
You let me crash and burn
The doctor’s goin’ insane
Another jaded son

We're Only Human
You don’t count your angels, by the scars upon their wings
If you did you’d break down and cry
You can climb a mountain but you can’t hide the tears it brings
But that love won’t die
Toronto down to Tokyo
Another town another rock roll show
I didn’t mean it what I said to her last night
They don’t see it the hurt that is inside
You don’t count your angels, by the scars upon their wings
If you did you’d break down and cry
You can climb a mountain but you can’t hide the tears it brings
But that love won’t die
Another headline another hero taken too soon
Another night another hotel room
Doubtful women another lady of the night
They’re just a curtain to hide the hurt inside
You don’t count your angels, by the scars upon their wings
If you did you’d break down and cry
You can climb a mountain but you can’t hide the tears it brings
But that love won’t die
You don’t count your angels, by the scars upon their wings
If you did you’d break down and cry
You can climb a mountain but you can’t hide the tears it brings
But that love won’t die

If I'm Holding You Tonight
Sitting lost in a sunset, reflected in your tired eyes
Holding on to the moment, softly drying the tears you cry
If I could dream you just one smile, only to light your darkest night
The Perfect hour's sweetest kiss, to hold you close in candlelight
I'll be the sunlight dry the rain
When hurt and heartbreak seem the same
I need no magic myth or heaven's light
If I'm holding you
Tonight
Even when we're worlds apart, mountains oceans night or day
I close my eyes and see your face, my heart still finds the words to say
When I hurt alone sometimes, and when I'm lost in search of truth
The melodies in the words I write, will always guide me back to you
I'll be the sunlight dry the rain
When hurt and heartbreak seem the same
I need no magic myth or heaven's light
If I'm holding you
Tonight
You have my heart, my love my life
You are my world my shining light
Until the end of time
You'll stay on my mind
And I'll hold you through the night
I'll be the sunlight dry the rain
When hurt and heartbreak seem the same
I need no magic myth or heaven's light
If I'm holding you
Tonight

Catesby's Last Stand
Bleed the ground red for the sign of the cross
Look death in the eye for a love you have lost
When and honest man turns to blood and fire
One wish of the night the truth he desires
Swear an oath to me swear to lay down your life
Let your conscience be clear let the faith be your guide
To live in fear no more no dark prison cell
Will you follow me now through the depths of this hell
Bleed the ground red for the sign of the cross
Look death in the eye for a love you have lost
When and honest man turns to blood and fire
One wish of the night the truth he desires
Heart of a traitor have I treason inside
I'll see no gates of St Peter for the darkness I hide
My family disgraced led to the hangman's noose
For the love of my life for the freedom to choose
Bleed the ground red for the sign of the cross
Look death in the eye for a love you have lost
When and honest man turns to blood and fire
One wish of the night the truth he desires
One stand
To light the fuse of hell
One spark
The king will meet his end
Gun smoke
Follow me to my grave
Pray I
Will not die in vain
