Graveslumber Lost in the graveyard Out in the moonlight Confused wand’ring My mind couldn’t get right Push off the ivy Under the stone lid Into the casket Sleep close my eyelids Out from beyond comes a gaze A spirit takes me from the grave Graveslumber! Ancient vision Hidden birthright Crystal chapels Starscape farsight Out of space and Out of mention The Extranaut cracks a new dimension

Lost beneath the sand Nobody likes him Murderer most foul Beheader beholder First book of law Gripping the tome tight Glistening sweat beads Ever he’s eying The Sword of Damocles Time knows no lord Age: conqueror of tyrants Rule laid to dust Thrones lost beneath the sand Everyone fears him And the iron fist Horror to hear that You’re on his list Spite and hubris Haunt each of his nights Secret betrayers Projecting his own fright The tyranny of everything! Men with lost names Effaced off their graves Long forgotten Kings with no claims Statues crumble Effigies tumble History licks a finger—and turns the page...

Angel of Grief All hail the idol that weeps Downcast regretful eyes seep Under the deluge of tears The weight of a thousand years (But what is this?) It’s the croak of crows in the empty yard It’s the pile of ash after hope is burned And the raven unfurls louring wings And the Angel of Grief softly sings It’s the reason we cry at the end of the bed It’s the pain we feel as we bury the young It’s the slow fall of the withering rose It’s the wisp of smoke at a candle’s quench And the raven unfurls louring wings And the Angel of Grief softly sings All hail the idol that weeps Downcast regretful eyes seep Under the deluge of tears The weight of a thousand years It’s a spill of ink on the tattered page It’s a promise broken before it was made It’s the gilded cup that is never full It’s the gathering silence between our wails And the raven unfurls louring wings And the Angel of Grief softly sings All hail the idol that weeps Downcast regretful eyes seep Under the deluge of tears The weight of a thousand years

Descent Into.... Delving new lows Fire burning, screams and throes Reality not clear now I see fire when I close my eyes The people can’t see them But there are devils beset to rule I walk now among them The horror’s here and the hell is now Reaching into darkness The quiet, the starkness Gates open And I fall down (Plunging downward, ever downward) No shackles no keyholes But no escape from a withered mind I’m freezing I’m burning I took the turn before I saw the sign Could I be mistaken? Is it a man or a mass of flies? Lead life vest cruel strength test Gravity and the Lord of Lies
