The forsaken and forgotten

Gentle, as he sank his teeth

The world turned upside down his feet

And he became all soft inside

'How strange', he thought

'That I would feel so free,

The moment that life flees from me.'

Sinking into arms that would not hold,

But let him go instead

As soon the flames grew cold

And alls desires had been fed

But Sensations of all consuming kind

Aroused inside, by tender kiss-

Or was that just his mind?

Creating, so that he would miss

The pain caused by this kind of treat

But no, the stain around his lips

Could not be just a fantasy

Like metal tastes and ardency

It took a while to catch his breath

Smelling the cold misty air,

the scent of his hair

And wondered if faith alone

Could really safe forsaken souls

With everything he learned by now

And fear clutched at his heart

How long had he been unaware,

The magnitude of all he cared?

And as he healed away the hurt

he realised the strong embrace

Holding him, firmly secured

"Be careful Angel, ere you fall."

The ancient said, suggesting resting seats

Bemused and thoughtful, he agreed

And wished, he could recall

If this was still compassion

What kind of sentiment this secret had begotten

Had woven into souls and hearts

Of the forsaken and forgotten

[st0pandg0]

Happiness hit her

Like a fist in the face

Gently, he calls her

Too late, no escape

Oh, she hid it in laughter

Or drowned it with drinks

Or smashed it to pieces

Before the first spring

With every lover

That stroke a new spark

She burned all the bridges,

Afraid of the dark

The cold days are over,

The cold days are gone,

The flames start to flicker,

So you better run!

Run fast from your lover,

Run fast from your brother

Run from friends, from family or others

Leave all your loving

Your loving behind

You can't carry that with you

If you want to survive

The cold days are over,

The cold days are gone!

But she found herself peaceful

As he met with her eyes

And answered him quietly

With some surprise

He called her his saviour

And she sank to her knees

No inferno, no anger

Met his grateful relief

Timid and silent

He asked for one hand

And she gave him both

In astonishment

No ridicule, no mockery

She found in his guise

Her walls began to crumble

Before they could rise

The cold days are over,

The cold days are gone

The fire's turned to fervour

And the dark fades to dawn

So run for your lovers

Run fast for your brother,

Run for your family, your friends or others

Leave none of that loving

That loving behind

You must carry them with you

If you want to survive

The cold days are over

The cold days are gone!

Father, why can't you see

None that you birthed

Is unbroken or whole

Father, do you still believe

The good of your deeds

Giving me a heart

with no mind to understand

But when I suceeded

anger raised your hand

Don't you know,

If clay breaks in the heat

You cannot fix it by reapeat?

Blood and tears don't mend

Like water from the riverbend

Did you like to see me break?

Did you like the way I shaked

In fear to disappoint?

Father, don't you agree

You can't foresee a living thing

When there is faith before a God

Imprinted in a soul

There is no way to stop

A heart to bleed when it is cut

Like crop gone foul

Unless you want a heart of stone

Don't you know,

If you want a thing to grow

You will have to let it go?

Salting soil won't make it rich

Like bone and ashes from the dead

If you want to cross the bridge

Why burn it down instead?

Tell me,

Did you give me will and voice,

Just to kill me for my choice?

Father,

It seems you forgot

creation does not make you God

Did you get blinded by the light

That you lost track of what is right?

So lost you didn't find me

When I cowered in the dark

To grow under the ancient,

heal my broken mind and heart

Father,

You don't like the way I grew?

But day and night made me bear fruit

I am child of the land

I am invisible to you

by the devil's hand

I can spread my wings,

I am hope, I am true

Father can't you see,

can't you understand

This insanity will be your end

You lost alignment and divinity

You fell from favour

By your rotten labour

When you open your eyes

Judgement awaits

Open your eyes

Open your eyes,

I am here to strike

You're a fallen angel,

But I have devil's sight

Open your eyes

I can see your core

Open your eyes

Open the door

I can see you now, truly

Open your eyes!

[st0pandg0]

See,

the sun has set inside your golden heart

With all its strings fallen apart

No thread to hold you to this place

But death's around your neck

Severed and frayed

And yet, there is a golden strand

From which you're bound to life

Don't let your mind be captive

By the deathless dark of night

When there is fate entangled

In the chasms of your soul

Once this ravel will be weaved

To a fabric pure and whole

The shadows drain away to dawn

And life will cease, to be reborn

[st0pandg0]

I wish I knew where you have gone

The place I cannot follow

The fear, the pain you had become

No use to hold or swallow

The anger that you kept

It comes to me when I can't sleep

When all I do is breath and breath

Until I can't, I can't, I can't

Pretend I am okay with this

Pretend I am okay

When all I do

Is realise what I have lost

But you're the one who suffered most

The suffering I couldn't share

The words of love and grief

I did not speak

Nor write

Nor show

And now your gone

Just gone

And I just miss you

Miss you,

Mom

Face to Face

We both fell, in different directions In different time and place Yet the impacts shared their terminations Turned two timelines face to face

So, when I came to meet you Sure I expected something else Than bloodshed, war and slavery Of a whole, forgotten race

All the more, I was confused Of time and place and shape Of this strangers, you - And particular myself Which lead to the descision that I made

Now, I saved you, I purpose Not knowing, where to go While your presence calmed my mind Under starlights golden glow

But we got no peace to gain And no more time to run My mind turnd bold and frantic Until the final set of sun

Where I ripped open time and space And leapt with you inside a storm Of paradox and bedlam To turn two timelimes face to face And I said: Let´s go, my friend To another time and side I do not know the designation But I cannot be afraid

[st0pandg0]

Call

When I said 'time' Did I mean seconds? When I said 'space' Did I mean a place? As I said 'when?' Did I begin Split in different directions

Give me a time, give me a place And I will give you a name and a face Belonging to a man who does not knows About his point and stand You can take all his fate Because it's far too late To make a clear return

Stance and time and goal Is none of my trouble To rise, stagnete or fall Give or take it, make it double I will follow every call

[st0pandg0]

The Guest

The hallways narrow stretch along

Amany doors, heavy and locked

A suitable prison, to which I belong

With any passage but windows blocked

And I am imprisoned within

I´m not alone

Let alone with my thoughts

And the strangers away from my reach

But the strangest who attends me

Is the only one I can speak

During day I may wander

Through the halls of the wing

From one locked door to another

Until sunset begins

Then I may granted visits

Of my warden and host

With conversations and matters

Concerning me most

For I can´t but think and ponder

About this evil true intends

That means naught but death to me

My love and friends

God help me,

For I have been used

My own hands have set free

The devil to the world

And the truth will die with me

[st0pandg0]

Your mind is vicious, And I know You're anything but good But I'm ambitious And you know Me like an open book

I'm not delusional I see Your hallmarks on the land I simply pay my power's price By following command But there's no rue, there is no fright Of death, the dark or my demise I freely chose this path And all the danger you emit, Fades into nothing but thin air When all you do is rest your head And I run fingers through your hair

I think of tame predators, When I watch you there at ease And for a trice it seems to me That I can give you peace And in this quiet, desire's seed Begins to stir and sprout That slowly drives away The last of all my doubts

We are like-minded, But I know You're anything but cursed And trapped in this domain And you don't know The kind of faith I pledged to in this game For silently I chose my path' I'll follow all my life To final and eternal peace Along the devil's side To light

Some time by

I wondered why

And what would be

If I came free

Of all the sadness

In my mind

And I thought,

What if

I was the person

I never expected to be

And a shadow

Of all I had wished

Yet I followed down the trail

Others left going their way

And dissolved in despair and distress

And I thought then,

What if

I had become someone else

Crestfallen on myself

Clinging onto vow and creed

Of strangers turn and lead

And stood in faith beside a man

I knew all but truly then

And like myself he fell

To hopelessness and grief

And I thought sometimes,

What if

Now I walk freely in the sun

By others grace and my redemption

And wonder what I have become

Wonder who I really am

Without my deeds and memories

And with a beating heart

And I keep thinking

What if

When I still keep your face in mind

Thinking quietly about the kind

Of person you would be

If things had turned out differently

[st0pandg0]

I had an angel walking by my side

A friendly stranger staying through the night

And without notice he began to patronize

Me in and out of danger in my life

Oh how could I have been so blind and so naive

Feeling the powers rise inside and still believe

To be without a fosterage of good

That I ignored the silent pledge I took

Until revelation brought myself to see

The true relation that it held to me

I had an angel walking through my night

That brought me faith and dawning light.

[st0pandg0]

My friend at first I truly thought

Myself to be polite

The interest we both had caught

Would spring from peace and quiet

I firmly meant myself to be

Just patient and observing

Without considering the glee

Would caused by my companion

Yet when the time came to depart

And quietness turned to solitude

I nearly couldn't bear my heart

And I could find no substitute

Then wait for your return

My friend for now I am aware

Of my attentions nature

Between politeness and the quite

Arose a silent rapture

That feeds of every single sight

And grows by every touch

[st0pandg0]

I sold my soul

To power thrice

Once in fear of death

(To waters deep)

Then in despair

(To darks beneath)

But last for fear of loss

(To death itself)

In silly hope of ransom

Of the devil's shell

Three times I sold

and pawned myself

To evils force

But forth I will deny

Redeem the devil

from its hell

And may or

may not die

[st0pandg0]

My heart was broken by the bride of my brother

Whom I murdered on his wedding day

And it didnt even change her mind

My hopes got shattered like the front glass window

She threw herself out!

But my feelings couldn't be repelled

It just seems unlikely that it's me who was to blame

So I just wait for reneissance

So I can propose to her again

Refrain:

This is not enough

This is not enough

No I need to hit the bottom

My love was crushed by every avatar

Between all the suffer of rebuff

And I'm still missing all of my heart

After I locked it apart

My mom was killed by an evil spell

With a sickness curse and her death just send me

Right to madness and after that to hell

Turn the land to wicked ground and tell me:

Please have grace! Spare us from your wrath!

But that just incites me to torments you and shred you apart

Refrain

Fear or despair? Have no doubt

Hope or Love, I spoil it

When despair is not enough there is plenty more

where that came from around

Looking past we see the point of frenzy

Where the tragedy began to build

Looking ahead I can see haven end me

Hand me my weapon

I'm going in

[st0pandg0]

What grave fate

Lays upon my kin

The flamelike hate

The woe and grim

Foresight that brings despair

How can we be at peace

When meanwhile we are

Driven out from where we lived

How can I be a righteous soul

When everything I see and

Hear is nothing but

Hatred, fear, disgust

That drives me to misdeed

What bitter end I ever face

I share the fate of my whole race

But not undoing, not by choice

Ere I will leave this dreary place

In battle, blood and pain

Then sacrifice my life in vain

Desperate hope of justice

That I will never gain

[st0pandg0]

Normal you call me

Meaning normal as accuse

But normal to you

And normal to others

Means something different too

What do you see in people

When you see a strangers face

Is all you see and hear is normal

If you can't see reflected

You own familiar mind and face

Means confidence no fear and fight

Opinions lack of empathy

Equality lack of perspective

And happiness no tragedy?

If you say normal

May think twice

What normal means to you

When lacking normalness themselves

Meant pain for others too

If you say normal once again

Know this is no excuse

Not for your angst

Not for your problems

Not for your attitude

[rotestelefon]

You call it safe space

But in a safe space

I should be feeling safe

As well

For all the safety

Turns to hypocrisy

If you destroy it

For all but not yourself

For you crave a safe space

Among us

A safe place

You can be as

You are and want to be

But this can't be safe

If it appears

To be at the cost of

Everybody else

See,

This is a safe space

To feel and to be safe

If everyone keeps it

A safe place

For all
