That haunted place

That haunted place
that chases time into restraint
that calls to dark spurs
come play below the gallows
explore my empty chambers
that haunted place
is where I wait

Waiting for a ride

The journey ahead holds many casualties
waiting for the fork in the road to claim them
it's there where my ride begins

Swift Moments

Fate waves a heavy hand
changing our destiny
in swift moments
unforeseen
until they've arrived
unchangeable
forever after

Spirits Fly

She was set to let her spirits fly
giving wings to her dreams
letting them soar and die

Straight and Narrow

We picked Tony as the leader of our reform group
becuase he was such an easy going guy. We thought
that everything was going to be cool. Wrong we were.
We never counted on the thing going to his head.
Demands, demands, demands....
He thought he was president or something
The biggest problem was every Tuesday
when we had our meetings
the whole thing would be such a mess.
Tony would start off with his usual speech
about how he was going to help us all reform
get us to walk the straight and narrow
of course all we could do was laugh
he'd get pissed off
but he was boring and we couldn't help ourselves
our little conversations on the side
turned our meetings into social gatherings
we'd start eating, drinking, and smoking
until one day we noticed Tony on the ground
it took a while to get the gaurds to come around
and haul him off to the crematory

Commentaries Unknown

Boxes seen outside, next to garbage dumbsters.
Boxes filled tinted gold coins, with a sun setting somewhere
big house or something more
or something strange
three staircases
one not to be used
it's saved for show, or something like that
broken banisters
a cripple wobbling near the edge of disaster
three stories and cauldrins
boiling substances
in great fireplaces
dusty light
afternoon haze from nowhere
no windows to be found
a musk in the air
a presence floating around
with hollow ringing voice
making commentaries unknown

Death Toll

Yes, just another story of hate
and to look for a cause we would probably
have to start at the beginning
but most of that is lost or forgotten
so, let's just pick up on the story
where it stands now...
It's the beginning of the day
the middle to many others
and the realization comes
that this happens quite often
and the familiar faces were seen
and the names remembered that went with them
and the man in charge was doing
what he was told was important
and his peers were all now named subordinate
and the leader hollered and barked
directions and directives
yet he still kept his followers in the dark
and he reigned in the day
and relaxed at night
control through opression
motivation sprang from the hate it brought
the death toll was the cost
