Advance into Nothingness
Advance into Nothingness
From metal crates metal cylinders are dropped to kill or maim
Inside metal tubes we fly off on holiday to evade reallity
From metal pipes come gas and water
We drive metal cars to contaminate our world
With an addiction for stainless steel we adorn our homes
to shine in our self made worlds off dullness
Old stone wells gave us water, clean...

Onward and Beyond
Onward and Beyond
In an eerie darkened cosmos a, planet spins free
blues and greens fuse together in a vaporous trail
Stardust swirls in a strange unison in constant motion
This vista can only be seen from afar
from the depths of outerspace in a greater void
A planet amongst many yet unique to embody life
a self contained home of light and life
from which nothing can e...

I had vigorously rubbed it all in, lavishly so

A Common Wealth
We must stop and draw breath

leering at television screens of horror
as we lounge in comfort and luxur...

The Prodigal Son
The Prodigal Son
I am a repeat offender
it is part of my inherant nature
My intentions are good
but my spirit which is willing

Lust is tattooed on my soul

We are lost
We are lost
We are free falling into a darkened chaos
some try to point the way but to where
We have been lied to, misguided and misled
humanity is the victim of its imminent destruction
In our folly we repeat history, hold fast to old beliefs
non of this is of any consequence when the abyss lures
A culture of blaming and complaining is rife
no one in all honesty ...
