Son of Swords

I stand in the dark, under the pouring rains,

While I pray, and the world eats my soul.

My song is all of my roaring pains,

Buried in the shadow of the black totem pole.

All that I used to be is just a memory,

A prayer crashing against the stone ears of devilry

As I long for zero,

Singing my song in chains,

I long for zero.

(Every step is dogged)

I am the son of swords

Born to follow the lines of force

With my blood beating with the swollen words

Written on my soul with no remorse.

I seek the palace and the sonic throne

The Chalice and the broken bones,                               

So I dream of zero

With all my tattered dreams,

I dream of zero.

(Every hour is devoured)

In my lonely tantrums,

When my entire world is ice and steel,

And I am the only sighted man in the kingdom,

I lose my way and cannot feel

The dark kiss of the maelstrom,

The omega sunshine bliss of the atom

So I go to zero,

Holding close to my shattered soul,

I go to zero.

(Every breath is counted.)

Somewhere there is a great black mountain,

Looming under a twilight moon

And under it a great marble fountain

In which I bathe by the light of a wormwood noon.

Call me the lord of pain; call me the king of sorrow

Call me silent apostle, son of mourning on the last tomorrow.

Street Song 4: Got Me Opin

"I know I gotta be cooler than this cat you sittin' with....I'll do you right baby."

                                                                               ~777-9311, The Time

I could be like everyone else

If I chose, be like those

Who call you fine;

Say you sweet in my mind

Like the thought of a sin.

Aww shit, let me begin again

And just be me.

It's not hard to see

That I'm lost in your eyes

(And contemplation of your thighs

Keeps me up at night,

Just knowin' it would be right.)

But is that even the place to start?

Or should I tell you that you touched my heart,

Warmed it, made it beat so it seems even in my dreams

I taste your sweet and feel your heat?

How to even begin to tell you

That you beautiful like a sin I'd love to commit.

And you stay on my mind, I have to admit.

Probably 'til the stars burn out, no doubt,

It's your name in the dark that I'd love to shout,

And hold you like I do in my dreams

And it seems like a thing alive,

Stronger than even my pride,

And that ain't just another line.

Gimme a chance baby, 

I'll make you dance dance dance dance,

All you need to do is say yes,

You're my sweetest taboo, my honey colored goddess.

Sweet like that sin in the back of my mind,

Yeah you got me open,

And yeah I'm open wide.
