CONSUMPTION OF PUNISHMENT
Invoking the goddess of old
Benzodiazapines and wine
Ancient rituals of slumber
Cure her to the point of dying
Nocturnal wonder and silence
Uncanny beauty and torment
Show her the way back into hell
Tear her from this nightmare
Consumption of punishment
Death is her nourishment
Waking up in hospital
Depressed and skeletal
The bleeping heart machine mocks her
Patronised by unwanted help
She knows just what to say
To the novice psychiatrist
She takes her medications
Only to regurgitate them
Storing them in her secret place
In two weeks she will have enough
Consumption of punishment
Death is her nourishment
Waking up in hospital
Depressed and skeletal

A Figure Called Nothing

A FIGURE CALLED NOTHING
I turn around, to go back, to kill
But stop as I see a furious lost self
Turning around, to forget, to love
I tense as fate taps me on the shoulder
He, it, whatever, does not follow, I drag
I turn around and see nothing but mist
A vacant shadow of a figure called nothing
I turn around, this time see nothing at all
Hand in hand I walked across the world
Until I wandered into this strange bed
Stuttering inevitably to closure
With valiant composure
He, it, whatever, does not follow, I drag
I turn around and see nothing but mist
A vacant shadow of a figure called nothing
I turn around, this time see nothing at all
It's a long way back but I turn around to face it
To offer my hand, forever if need be
But better judgement ends the cycle
I let my demons die in the past
He, it, whatever, does not follow, I drag
I turn around and see nothing but mist
A vacant shadow of a figure called nothing
I turn around, this time see nothing at all
Kiss her goodbye into infinity
I'm cleansed of the darkness following me
It was within my control
To allow the future to illuminate my soul

ORC MAGE
I have studied bow and sword
Physical weapons leave me bored
And I have trained as a smithy
But the anvil leaves me weary
I read the minds of my peers
They fear the power of the seers
The fools fear evolution
Don’t accept I’m a magician
You fucking know you’re a failure at war I don’t need wizards to sell me no law
You’re a disgrace to the garrison, redemption is here in a pint of medicine
I feel the magic within me
Conjuration is my destiny
Heavy armour is so crude
My love for robes is misconstrued
I respect my ancestors axes
But I yearn to wield a jewelled staff
I do not fear the battleground
My lightning bolts will raze the ground
Get out of our village and start your vision quest
But don’t expect a welcome from the dark elves in the mountains
Maybe the wilderness will teach you how to fight
There is no forgiveness from the wraiths in the black of night
Your magic is too weak even if it’s in your blood
You will fail as a mage ‘cos you’re an orc who never did no good
You dare address the mages guild
Asking your dreams be fulfilled
Don’t waste your time return to your clan
And make it hasty while you still can
Not in thousand, thousand years
Has an orc drunk the magic tears
Go back fool whence you came
Your presence will bring only shame
Fuck you and your entitled place of learning
Your dumb dismissal will not dilute my yearning
I’ll learn the magic ways from the earth itself
I will acquire knowledge by mystery and stealth
