clenched tight
in my head
an implosion of rage
as red as Hell as mad as Hell as hot as Hell to
pay there is Hell to pay the Devil has come
to collect his Dues to pay the Devil has come to collect
My Soul
My Hate
from scars under bleached burning holes
I'm a black burning soul
falling deep down the dark hole to Hell
where I've dropped something.
Where have I dropped something?
Where have I dropped my Fraudulent Vows
Where have I dropped my Fraudulence
now?
How is this
Free-Feeding Beast
of Flesh and Breath now
Under My Command?
This Hot-Fucking
Heat-Sucking
Steel-Feeling
Flesh-Peeling Energy
burns and blasts
burns and blasts
burns and blasts
within my glands.
Dance with My Enemy.
Pulse with the Energy.
Dance with The Devil
Now Hand to Hand.
Songs of Leviathan
swollen, crushed
upon the Beach
in Tranquil Waves
amidst your Hundred Brother Graves
This is a Suicide Mass and Strange
Eat to The
Eat to The
Eat to The Beat
Eat to The
Eat to The
Eat to The Streets of Gold
I've lost My Glasses/
(Stranger in the Underpass)
Streets of Chrome, I feel Hot Flashes/
(Strangers in The Underpass)
Cyborgs prostitute Themselves along Electric Boulevard
This Neon Neighbourhood
This Hungry Hollywood
Cyborgs prostitute Themselves
with Soulless Sex
with Vacant Shell
Cyber-Kids sell Their Fuck along These Neon Avenues
Where Streets are aglow with Summer Moon,
Summer Moon and Heavy Gloom I
wont say how this
(FLASH-FLASH)
Bright-Bitch sucked My
(FLASH-PULSE)
Glitter spurt in My
(PULSE-PUMP)
Pants and Come and
(PUMP-PUMP)
Come and Pant
(SEE THE METAL HOOKERS ON THE GLARING STRIP?)
Coma and Pant and Rave and Rant as
LIGHT BRIGHT SURGES BLUE BOLT POWER
In Their Final Dreadful Hours
Hurl into a Revel
as You Dance _with The Devil
with an Anger
as You
Pivot with Him
Face to Face./
(Flowers in a Garden of a Sunny Day)
Anger
as You
Pivot with Him
Face to Face./.
(Sweeter Cherry Blossoms in The Healing Rays)
Anger
as You
Dance with Satan
Face to Face./.
Eat to The
Eat to The
Eat to The Beat/.
Eat to The
Eat to The
Eat to The Heat
of the Fire of a Solar Wave/
Heat of Desire and I'm Thus Enslaved
Breaking Bonds
Bashing Bricks
Shine and Blast Cold
Heartlight Liguid Heat
of Desire and I'm So Afraid,
Meat in The Fire of My Lust Engaged/.
And taking steps
And I'm walking out
And I'm a Demon and Angel
And I'm Cleaning House/..
Leave It All Behind Me, I'm
A Better Man/.
(...taeB ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE)
Go Where It Wont Find Me, I'm
A Stronger Man/.
(...teaB ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE)
Free, I'm on The Go, I
Need Another Man/
(...teaB ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE)
Brother/Lover/Other
I'm a Lonely Man/..
(...teaB ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE, ehT oT taE)
Feel Me/Burn Me Clean/I
Love Another Man/..
Twilight
held tight
in my head
I shed
The Explosion of Love
to The Critical Indifference
to The Fear-filled Frames of Reference
that would lock Me
that would trap Me
that Enslaves Me
(TRY AND CATCH ME)
That Would Freeze Me
and would Limit Me to
your Rejection
Thank God
I'm not Limited to your Perceptions
Thank God
I'm Alive and I
have Love to Give
Thank God
I've The Courage
to Be Me
and Live
Share and Live with Others
as My Sisters
and My Brothers minus
Gluttony of Form
as one can pig out
on such Diets...
If you Think I'm Deluded,
Thanks for Sharing,
Care to Try it?
