Spawn
At the intersection of two lost highways to heaven
I met with a weird bird with a human face
The color of its bulging eyes, violet and raven
Rang a bell, yet was I that scared to touch base
It said it meant me no harm, and was good at heart
A reincarnated angel that once fell from grace
Wishing to prevent me from making a false start
Was eager to recant my deadly sins with a magic mace
But first I had to deal with an infernal spawn
Responsible for sins not covered by other devils
If I succeeded in winning the battle, I'd hold my own
And never regret having to choose the lesser of two evils

Nosedive
You wonder why our firm relations took a nosedive
I guess, you should go back to the primal roots
Considering our liaison was long ago still alive
Maybe it was my grievous fault to lick your boots
Total submission can lead to getting into a habit
And afterwords love fades away without any traces
Who knows when it's time to murder love or stop it?
You keep on looking for the one among unknown faces
If life is too short, then love may last much shorter
The haunting memories survive for distant ages
The ruthless time is gonna blow us out of the water
Yet the history has a room for blank and wilted pages

An Encyclopedia of Fear (To Ron Oliver)
There's primal fear like a fetus blinded by daylight
There's lingering fear like a zit growing on your nose
There's groundless fear like a dark day covered by a clear night
There's inarticulate fear like a little fish wolfed down by a shark
There's sudden fear like a demon startled by an unfamiliar ghost
There's mortal fear like a soul baffled by heavenly hell
There's fake fear like a popstar blowing his/her lines
There's undying fear like boomerang returning to hit you hard
There's cryptic fear like a stranger ringing at your doorbell
There's fatal fear like falling prey to a predator
There's introverted fear we've invented by ourselves
And have to live with it.

The Juror
Preaching salvation from your multiple sins
Is making you hallowed and ready to forgive
Your avowed enemy, even though he wins
And now tell me how does the other half live?
Can you be tolerant of the unjust blame?
Is a verdict of not guilty for a killer fair?
What if the harmless victims put you to shame?
Didn't you on a stack of Bibles swear?
Cowardice and trepidation run in the blood
And our anthropoid forefathers were too retard
If speechless, you can give each other the nod
Ending up a skid row bum ain't that hard
Try not to make a hasty irreversible decision
There's danger that holocaust will break out
Another Fuhrer can make a deeper incision
Bulk of the evidence is a reasonable doubt

Saturday, the 14th
Nancy left her car key in the house
And was too scared to go back and fetch it
Freddy Krueger, quiet as a mouse
Was hiding inside, not wishing to beat it
After failing to hot wire the car
She ditched it and walked fast across Elm street
For a cactus juice she dropped into a bar
But after taking a sip, she had cold feet
With heavy breathing behind, she smelled a rat
When she turned around, there was no one in sight
A familiar razor sharp hand gave her a pat
She woke up in her car, waiting for a green light
The red light lingered, and she thought 'That's all I need'
She was puzzled to see it turning ebony black
The car started to run, reaching breathtaking speed
Freddy, her backseat driver, was launching an attack
