II-XI In a Basement With Bertha Mason
I glimpse the souls eternal in this town, I meet their gaze, yet indifference holds us down. Voting for the left, against the Nazi tide, you know the future's pa…
II-XII In a Basement With Bertha Mason
Could it ever be too late for me to forsake where I dwell? Paradise shines bright, and spring’s beauty casts its spell. Then summer arrives, not with the desert’s fierce heat,…
II-IX In a Basement With Bertha Mason
Oh my God, is it just me or does Shangri-La finally show a favor divine to me? Don’t be foolish, every time the heavens smile my way, a brother is dragged to hell, astray. I…
II-X In a Basement With Bertha Mason
We’ve stumbled hard in this life’s dance, You drowned me deep in credit’s trance, And I wounded you with cautious stance. A fresh beginning may be best, I won’t await you or…
The Divine Fire glows, where the humble Heart goes
If your voice holds no flame, just the echo of night,
A hollow refrain with no spark to ignite,
Then let the stillness rise, let the quiet remain—
For a word without fi…
Life, with Verses left unwritten, stands tall
The key turned in the lock—a familiar sound…
The door sighed… just as we once sighed
Over lines of old and bitter rhymes profound,
So, gift, oh gift this loneliness til…
On the inaccessible Peak, there must be Flowers
On the inaccessible peak,
There must be flowers—
Soft as whispers, bright as stars,
Untouched by earthly hours.
No hand may pluck their Grace,
No foot may mar the…
Blessed Love can never be Despair
Blessed love can never be despair,
For the Creator knows the heart’s hidden prayer—
Even words the lips refuse to bear.
The thoughts of men are fleeting, vain,
To the Soul that is proud, dark Demons appear
To the soul that is proud, dark demons appear,
Whispering lies—that it’s holy and pure,
Or they plunge it in deep despair,
Saying salvation will never be there.

Fear is the Belief in the Victory of Evil
For thousands of years since their fall from Grace,
The desperate demons learned to twist the straight,
To steal the unripe in the darks embrace—
What lacks Gods root, …
Break Me up to Starlight
Break me up to starlight
Tear apart these walls
Break me up to starlight
'Till nothing else recalls
Each crushing wave
Transforms the pain
Into pure light<…
Still breathing
Lying still
Heavy air
Something here
In the dark
Cold hands gripping tight
Weight pressing down tonight
Can't move... can't scream... still breathing
Watch Me burn to Ashes
Embers dance, beneath my breath,
Where the heart is crowned.
Time becomes a flame…
Let old be cast down.
A body formed of dust, with fiery brightness thrilled,
Frozen Stars
Breath turns to crystal
In the empty air
My fingers aren't mine anymore
Time slipping away
Is this what stars feel like?
The cold crawls deeper now
Through…
Calling through the Night
Far beyond the stars
Can you hear me now?
Through the endless dark
Breaking somehow
Oooooh, reaching out...
Reaching out to you
Oooooh, breaking out...

Shine, crazy Diamond, shine!
Through gaping chasms and depths untold,
Thou leadest me into Thy light;
Each grief I bear, each loss I hold,
Makes stronger still my faith's pure might.
Thou ca…
On the Verge of Waking and of Sleep
On the verge of waking and of sleep,
Where does my dreaming fancy stray?
Into what chasms, bottomless and deep,
What starry wanderings far away?
All was so logic…
Sacred Distance
I reach my hand across the space
Between your heart and mine
But something holds me back today
Like facing a Divine
The closer that we try to get
The further …
The Lamentations of a sinful Soul leaving the Body
A moment past, I felt the weight, the ache, the cold;
And now, outside myself, my own dead form behold—
Unmoving and unbreathing, face all bloodless, white,
Bearing the…
Premonition of hellish Torments
Hellish waves have embraced me
To the depths of my soul.
The abyss takes me away.
My soul has become thin and weak.
Oh, my God, my God!.. Don't leave me.
Inha…
When Winter leaves
Where the river stops breathing,
Where the ice keeps strange names,
I stand between «was» and «will be»,
I am silence.
The snow doesn't remember,
Th…
Rock and roll is dead, and You are dead with It
You thought you owned the night,
But the night owns you.
A shadow dancing in a borrowed light,
A ghost in rewound time,
A ghost in fading blue.
Rock and roll …
II-VII In a Basement With Bertha Mason
Let your life go, seize your freedom’s gleam, I can’t bear to watch them hurt, your heart so sweet. No season right, the time just seems to flee, from scorching …
II-VIII In a Basement With Bertha Mason
My joy has been a chosen grace, sculpted by God, Her marks I trace. What's the point of sacrifice for a future's hollow? Told not to dwell in yesterdays we borro…
