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 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 17:10
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
