Under a Tree
cool beautiful green
beauty
moving in flatness
under the tree of oak
cooling breeze loving minds
under a tree

Burning Star
Burning star so bright
lighting the darkness of night
burn, oh bright star, burn
for the children of light
who battle winning the fight

The Devil's Garden
Lonely wolfs howl at the moon
Birds sing a merciful tune
Deep with in the beauty of life lays a rose
A black rose that only oneself knows
I stare at the majesty of the blackened garden that grows
The ravens circle high above waiting for any sign of prey
Crows are ready to cry out with what they have to say
Everyone is waiting for the final arising of his judgment day

Tale of Mind and Heart
My mind grows old
my heart grows young
my mind tortures my heart
my heart softens my mind
Oh cruel fate come sit beside me
take my heart into your hands
like a everlasting torment from you
come change my mind in hope
and maybe even take my heart too
like a battering ram on the castle wall
is my mind upon the cages of my heart
awakening me from this slumber
moving me into a new era of passion

The Flame of Love
I stand with eyes open
Glass
Holding on to you my love
Fire
Burning with passion in my eyes
See
My heart beats for you
Turn around, Hold on
Where to, Are you
One time, Hold tight
My fight, Your right
In a little love for you
Flowers
Red it turns with a passion
Speak
With words of the holiness
Love
With everything I have

Twisted Masks
Sick in the head
Sick in the mind they'll call me
The hypocrites who lie about their masks
they see not because they look not
who i am is who i choose to be
masks filled my face from inch to inch
tell me who i am you sick twisted soul
thinking you know my heart like its gold
twisted time engraves upon ones heart
like sadness on the face of a clown
does my face shine that masks so
but who am i to twist the facts of life?

Fire & Ice (A Burning Passion)
deep burning with in ones heart
from the beginning to end this fiery start
passion lives with in the souls of all mankind
like a everlasting flame that burns in the night
this cold and rainy world that hurts us
but this love is enough to drive each other
living for the time of what seems to be right
time keeps moving like a tape that won't rewind
passion sometimes keeps us from our pain
even when life seems to do nothing but rain

The Beauty Tree
I see a tree sitting in the stream
flowing past it as the waters gleamed
time twisted and turned the roots ashore
the flowers of the tree of which i adore
falling to the clear water at its floor
keeping the tree buried in the cold water
just like the seeds broken from a poor plotter
a season to come and a season to leave
to the water i will always forever cleave
but as the leaves begin to stray away
the sun shining upon the dieing day
the tree although not so beautiful anymore
begins a new journey upon the midday shore

The Paradoxal Saint
A sinner in search of a hideaway
A saint in search of a glorious prize
some call him broken
some call him names
The love of many has come to him
The hate of many has overcome him
Life has given him dreams
God has given him hope
A sinner in search of paradise
A saint in search of satisfaction
some call him spiritual
some call him dead
the broken truth of so many lies
the spoken truth of so many words

It's a Mad World
It's a mad world
Sold to its despair
In a world that's never fair
It's like time has no friends
but then again neither do people
Walk a thousand miles to starve
while lust pulls at your lions
thirst builds in your eyes
Crazy people walk in circles
mad men walk in a straight line
proving to the dogs they are pure
this life has no end but an end
yet hope has no inclusive meaning
we all must fall flat on the surface
the pavement looks back at us
like a bunch of crazy people lost
we walk the pavement of this world
It's a mad world
