Sweltering Cape

One man lucite
He is alive
World before you
Now is your time
Walk among us
Breathe in the life
Ground beneath you
Feel it and shine
But it’s finite
All in decline
Caught in headlights
Run for your life
Death bed death trap death watch death blows death throes death trip death watch death knotch forgoes death throes case closed death blows one blip death trip death threat death bed
Woman for shelter
She is denied
On cape we swelter
This is divide
Helter the skelter
Turning the tide
Smoke off the mountain
Skin that has dried
Children no mercy
Let them be told
Poetic justice
Fault of the pride
He put up a real good fight
Now they’re reading the last rites
In the ground or turned to ashes
Like the life before you flashes
Looking for a shining tunnel
Life is drained as through a funnel
If you’re strong or if you’re clever
Nothing ever lasts forever
For the brilliant or the dumb
You still know the end must come

Mob mentality
it pleases me
When comes to be
that life’s not fair
You said your prayer
But now it’s you
who’s in the square
This is our way
This is our truth
This is the day
You know the game
That must be played
Ticket to be paid
The clock that winds
The stitch in time
And what we find
Can’t come to mind
Saw all the signs
Did all the crimes
The mastermind
Paid back in kind
You built the shrine
But it’s all mine
Choose the winner lucky one
He’s the pick the chosen son
Brought in sight of everyone
When the rocks begin to fly
Cast the stone and crush the bone
Gave the gift for he atoned
What is in the big black box?
There’s a slip with one coal spot
Stones are mounted in their pile
Town has gathered rank and file
And in your defense
Want it to make sense
Suddenly unfair
Instantly aware
Cross that you bear
Star you must wear

Flying Dutchman

Appears a vision
Ghost like precision
Image mesmerizing
Earth hypnotizing
Ship is arising
Call of the siren
Ropes that then tighten
Omen of danger
Haunted by stranger
Hollow and looming
Damned and entombing
Lost in the voyage
Drained of the courage
Reflect and sinking
Conjures a thinking
Land that is shallow
Sea becomes fallo

The Others

I am the others
Pains me my brothers
I am the others
What you’ll discover
Under the cover
Placate and smother
Shrouded and shudder
Six feet and under
Stymie and blunder
Take it and splay it
Chant and you pray it
Master obey it
Imagined danger
Threat of the stranger
Babe in the manger
I am the others
I am the others
I am the others
Fight and the flight
The fright in night
The height of light
We shoot on sight
Birds of a feather
Hover together
Storm that we weather
Flower that withers
Snake as it slithers
Fever and shivers
Which curse is worse?
Clown drives the hearse
Casting the spell
Time will not tell
Wrong is our right
We shoot on site
Fight and flight
The bark and bite
Others, others
Day and the night
This is the blight
We shoot on sight

Aliens Have Landed

Where have we been?
Disputed origin
Original sin
Argue the kin
The book was cheered
But not were we reared
By wise men revered
Origin of man
Can’t understand
Come from the apes
Taken new shapes
The book was cheered
But obelisks appeared
Now it gets weird
Come right in
We drop again
Captured within
Exploit the men
Claw at the skin
Shark and the fin
Cold war again
Tethered and bound
Tied to the ground
Wings in the wind
Gone round the bend
Shark in the cage
Burning the page
Sin that we wage
Falcon and glove
Reigns from above
Everyone a sinner
Loser is the winner
Fuel to the fire
Down to the wire
Reflect the spire
Chiseled in stone
Meat from the bone
Claw at the skin
Beast in a pen
Hoof and the paw
Submit to law
Bow inshallah
Aliens have landed
Armies are disbanded
Where will we go?
We will not know
Alien race
We go back to space
Vanish without a trace
Time to begin
Alien within
We are not men
Claw at the skin
Reveal within
Beneath the skin
What we have been
Our reign begins
Crushed all the men
Human domain
Species profane
People detained
Put them in chains
We’ve unmasked to men
We will rule again
It is our rebirth
We’ve reclaimed the Earth
We were hid to all
Led to their downfall
We’ve unmasked to men
We will rule again
Our reign begins
We rule again

Wish number 5: keep me alive
Wish number 4: breaks down the door
Wish number 3: no curse on me
Wish number 2: paid what is due
Wish number 1: haunted by none
Wish number 1: your time is done
Wish number 2: we chase down you
Wish number 3: prey upon thee
Wish number 4: your limbs are torn
Wish number 5: keep you deprived
Is it luck or is it magic?
Is it brave or is it tragic?
Superstition or the culture?
Swooping like the starving vulture
Grains of sand we’re growing older
An affront that becomes bolder
Just a hint of native magic
In a role that becomes tragic
To the floor and on this lore
Clip the wings on which we soar
Violate the nature’s law
Succumb to the monkey paw
With each wish it becomes clear
The elation turns to fear
You negate the natural law
Clinging to the monkey paw
All the hopes and all the dreams
Ripped apart right at the seams
Looking for the easy answers
Conjuring a league of cancers
Violating natural law
Succumb to the monkey paw
Stalk all your your prey
Feast on this day
Breaking the wall
Precede your fall
Reading the palm
Breaking the calm
