The Death Of Us All? The withering world is upon her knees, She gave us everything we could ever need; But we took more than she could give, And now it's a struggle for her to live. We stripped her resources till nothing was left, And now we will die with the promise we never kept: To look after the world and all it bears, But we were too busy being selfish to care. The world we destroyed is dying away, Because we thought the past wouldn't come back today; And all the pollution we showered upon the earth, Is coming back to haunt us with our self-created curse. Now the earth is dead and we are long gone, Off to find another planet to try and right our wrongs, The reason why we killed the earth is because we wanted more, More than she could ever provide, and we still want more. The Darkened Door I’m not in the mood for the darkened door, And the mystical lore of the empty corridor, With the shattered shards of broken glass, Lying fragmented on the floor. The aura of your being provokes me, Into an atrocious anger of frenzy That destroys the inner child within me, I cannot handle this dire disregard for me. My feelings are confused, With your misdirected anger infused, My soul feels as if it has been used, The sky stands pointing at the accused. The weapon of fury that you throw, Fired with contempt from a soiled archer’s bow, Bounces off my impenetrable exterior, But within me leaves an everlasting blow. Something To Test Their Poisons Streaming eyes for pretty faces, Barbaric knives for medical aces; They commit murder but are not convicted. They want their self-love and self-seeking, They don't seem to care for the animal's feelings; Their senseless acts are unbridled. Those who try to free the prisoners, Are punished by the naive and villainous; The animals are allowed no salvation. To be a saviour-it is a crime, They are just animals in their minds; Something to test their poisons. Goodbye Forever Just leave me alone, I’ll be all right, It doesn’t matter anymore Because I’m going to close that door, And end it once and for all. Would anyone care if I die, And if they did I’d want to ask why? Especially if they didn’t when I was alive, Hypocrites, what do they want? As I write my last goodbye, I wish it were much better, But I cannot go on like this, In this world forever. Some say it’s the easy way out, Maybe they are right, Sure, it’s easy to contemplate, But doing it is not. I want to escape all the pressure, Maybe this will release me, I want to escape this life, This will set me free. My mother used to say leave a note if you’re going somewhere, Well, this is it folks! I’m leaving now, I’m saying Goodbye forever. Lamia When I look in your eyes I see me; Naked to the world are your thoughts, I can read your mind, as we are one. Your deepest feelings run through me; I can feel your love, fear, hate, rejection, They all have happened to you as well as me. All your memories are lived again through me; Your pulse is like a beating drum, In my soul. My heart beats faster as you invade my mind; Exposing everything I have to you, You drink my thoughts like blood. The Score Whatever do you want from me? Your motives are obscured, I do not like it when I cannot see, My intelligence must not be ignored. Do you understand what I’m saying to you? I do not like being left in the dark, Do you understand what you have to do? Before your assumptions leave their mark. I hope you realise the mistake you’ve made, It’s impossible to ignore anymore, You cannot keep it forever in the shade, Soon everyone will know the score. Precious Gems Whatever is this life I live for? I cannot understand what I ignore, The flavour of this life is raw, The precious gems of wisdom tore Through the gates of Heaven’s Hell, The windowless world will never tell. The arc of light though the open door, Shines until it can shine no more, My heart is beating 4/4, Words of despairing hope are law. The lionesses’ follow through, Over dead monkeys lying in lieu, The king’s pleasures are but a few, The Queen Bee begins anew. The legal eagle flies away, Never to see another day, The bubbles of perfume waft around, The humming of the trees is sound, The mole is hiding beneath it’s mound, My heart, it is beginning to pound. Floating Butterflies Butterflies float along the breeze, The elves of fortune are on their knees, People cry while birds fall from the sky, The moon looks out and wonders why. The lover of the fire-fly writhes in agony While the bugs lie dying in the blazing sun; The elbow of Saturn pushes past the Earth, This hopscotch game is no longer fun. Why does the clock only chime at half past three? Whatever is there in this world for me? What is the name given to this insanity? When will I be able to be free? Broken Heart Beating A broken heart beats with cries like thunder, Soulful waters drag you under, Into an ocean of salty tears. All the love and hate in wonder, A broken heart is beating asunder, Playing upon your deepest fears. Unrequited Hello, do you remember me? I am the one you didn't see As anything more than a friend. I tried to tell you how I feel, The words just didn’t come When it mattered most. I wonder what you felt about me, As far as I know I’m the girl you didn’t see, As anything more. Little Dreamer I think of you and I see a dream, A dream where loneliness is forbidden, And love is the law. I think of the time when I first met you, And then realised I loved you, My heart and mind were at war. I didn’t know if I were coming or going, My dream of love forever growing, I’ve never felt this way before. When I see you half of me wants to stay, The other to turn and run away, Between my mind and heart I am torn. What If? What if you had never been in my life? Would I have seen hope? What if you had never spoke to me? Would I be able to cope? The stress and strain of life gets me down, But it gets easier to live with when you’re around, Is it foolish to tell you I love you? If I did what would you do? What would I do without you? Love is… Love is what I want from you, Love is what I need, Love is everything in this world, Love is the thing for me. Love is the look in your eyes, Love is curve of your smile, Love is your laugh in the rain, Love is alone with you a while. Love is for me the light in your eyes, I wonder if you see the light. I want to know how you feel, Is what I’m feeling for you real? Precious Gems The precious gems of wisdom tore Through the gates of Heaven’s Hell, The windowless world will never tell. Whatever is the life I live for ? I cannot understand what I ignore, The flavour of this life is raw, The arc of light though the open door, Shines until it can shine no more, My heart is beating 4 by 4, Whispered words of despairing hope are law. The lionesses’ follow through, Over dead monkeys lying in lieu, The king’s pleasures are but a few, As the Queen Bee begins anew. The legal eagle flies away, Never to see another day, The bubbles of perfume waft around, The humming of the trees is sound, The mole is hiding beneath its mound, My heart, it is beginning to pound. Then as suddenly as it began, The course of this life has ran Out of time, And as the dying embers of the fire ebb away, I reflect on the future as the past is today.
