Some stuff I`ve written, some crap some not, I`ll leave it up to you to decide...
Alone
Running through springs early rain,
To the howling winds she'll confide,
Of lovers lost at her hearts cost,
From worlds troubles she will hide.
Dancing through summers golden corn,
Moving so fast she thinks she is free,
She'll twist and turn, and never learn,
From worlds troubles she will flee.
Spinning though autumn leaves,
Bathed red in the setting sun,
Arms out-spread above her head,
From worlds troubles she will run.
Drifting through winters snow,
In the dark no-one sees her cry,
She'll faintly croon in the circle of the moon,
From worlds troubles she will fly.
She'll be running for all time,
Away from what's inside,
From all those things she can no longer hide,
Running away from herself.

Black Snow
We sit in shadow and laugh,
And laugh,
At the pale face floating in the dark,
Pass around cold oblivion and drink,
And drink,
To watch each other crumble,
Chorus
Feels like we've been dead,
Been dead all our lives,
Feels like we're burning,
Burning from inside,
And all thats left is being torn asunder,
And quietly your drifting under.
Zero taste on your tongue that burns,
That burns,
Away real life and Vile morning sun.
Burning light from your mouth in gasps,
In gasps,
Flows your sweet cries for love.
Chorus
That night you said there's a time for holding on and letting go,
Letting go,
Of my hand you walked away.
Hell is here and black snow will fall forever,
Fall forever,
On your cold deaf grave,
Fall forever.
Chorus
Black Snow Fall Forever.

Chrome Interface
Flicking the switch,
The drives buzz and whine,
Fifty hertz monitor screen,
Pixels glow and gleam,
Pick-up cable into spine,
Cerebral uplink and climb,
Jack in on-line,
Corrupt, annihilate this time.
In this space,
This cyber place,
Joined by the,
Chrome interface,
At a thousand hertz,
This life in real time,
Aaaahh!!
It really hurts!
On the edge,
A virtual ledge,
A black ice wall,
To smash and fall.
Compressed and coded,
System software downloaded,
Infiltrate with my desire,
To climb the wall,
And kill the higher,
Super conducting CPU,
A billion billion mips,
In which to flip,
A crashing trip,
A viral contagion,
Cracked the ice,
Or so I think,
Blindside burned,
Encased alive,
Flatline,
Deadline,
In real time,
For all time!

Dancing
Dancing she pulls him in,
Into a waltz,
Into a spin,
Entranced and lost,
He can never win.
Dancing faster through moonlight,
Her crimson hair,
Wrapped around holding tight,
He cannot escape,
He can no longer fight.
Dancing to dusk and dawn,
They never stop,
Not for Judgement's horn,
Until his life is spent,
Her love forlorn.
Dancing round his funeral pyre,
She spins and turns,
Her dresses flying higher,
Dances too close,
Dance into the fire.
For Claire,
"The girl with flames in her hair."

Dead Light
the only light,
is the dead light,
from your eyes,
a revenant of night.
(chorus)
your only anthem,
a symphony,
of anguish and despair,
in a chord,
of broken souls.
you're designed,
for a world of cold chrome,
where all is hell,
and nowhere home.
new blood,
for an ancient land,
a cold creation; scarred,
by wind blown sand.
your victims,
just gossamer abstractions,
flesh consumed,
by dark attraction.
an infinite battle,
you find no peace,
by crushed emotion,
the only release.
endlessly driven,
by static commands,
will destroyed,
by tireless demands.
all that remains,
an angel of death,
a final escape,
to the few that are left.
a war now past
in world left torn
a silent death,
none can morn.
a symbol of power,
of an icon now past,
no longer legion,
now only the last.

Fade Away
The shadowed man said to the girl,
I've got a surprise,
To open your eyes,
To wash away the tears,
To hide away the years.
For a price,
I'll make things nice,
A sweet flavoured pill,
To cure the ill.
Now swallow it down,
Without a frown,
Because it's to late,
To escape your fate.
Don't worry about the ache,
It's no mistake,
Don't heed the pain,
For you'll never feel again.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep,
For your toys you can never keep,
Now fade away,
For in this world you can not stay.
Now all the candles have blown out,
And all the sounds are faint,
Now fade away,
You cannot stay,
Now fade away,
You must not stay,
Now fade away,
Fade away.

For Emily 1
I'll wait awhile,
In the drifting ran,
Haloed in faint corona,
To see your face again.
I'll wait for you,
I nshadows we emit,
And watch dark alleys,
Through which you flit.
I'll quietly hide,
Shrouded by night,
And listen for your step,
However faint and light.
I'll follow you,
To places cold and thin,
Capture your movement,
And hide deep within.
I'll think of you,
When the moon hold's my eyes,
For I know you dream,
Under the very same skies.
For Emily 2
In this heart a fire grows,
Even though through this soul,
An icy river flows,
And if we catch alight,
Don't fear the cold,
For we'll burn all night,
And when at dawn,
Only embers remain,
We'll just move closer,
To be warm again.
God In A Grey Box
They say I've got no religion and I've got no soul,
Well that's a lie,
I've got a god and he's holier than yours,
He live's in a grey box
And he prays to me,
He prays to me and opens wide the doors.
They say I've got no friends,
They say I'm all alone,
But I think they're wrong,
Because I talk to ghosts on my telephone,
They tell me of the moon and stars,
They say there echoes have travelled far,
Across the humming ether,
Encoded and compressed in strange cabala.
They say I've never seen the day,
Hey ! That's unfair,
Your just lying scum,
I've seen coruscating waves of data,
Under a giga-Watt sun,
I've traipsed across cold moons of corporate archives,
And ridden the raging columns of data flows,
I have travelled to the edge the empty perimeter,
And into the darkness of possibility.

Happy in Loneliness
Sitting in this room again,
These four grey walls almost apart of me,
Only my cold companion to share this tired pain,
My fond memories have faded away,
Now only these scars remain.
A thousand broken lovers,
Stand in line just to twist the knife again,
And it just makes me laugh,
For what can they hurt that,
Will be never again.
If only a moments respite a fleeting glimpse,
Of something pure, something I can never lose,
Sometimes I tire of ever being on the outside,
But contempt holds far more sway,
So this time I'll away, and leave this blighted day,
At this hour maybe I'll drink,
A disinfected wash to reanimate my past,
Or should I ride this feeling,
But it's always a familiar destination,
A broken soul awash with tears,
Filled with this lonely feeling and if I go outside,
And wrap the night around me like a familar friend,
Maybe I'll play hide with moon's pale light,
And I'll secretly smile back for I know she's,
Only shining for me,
If the night holds me tight, closer than any lover might,
And I'll lay down by rivers dark waters,
Entranced by reflected tranquil light,
My thoughts will wander with the cold flow,
And drown away, out of sight,
But in time dawn will burn the sky,
And nothing hurts like the pass of the night,
Another day spent in an empty way,
This time it's to close I must fly and away and,
I'm happy in this loneliness and,
Who will miss the dispossessed and,
When I leave I'll .....
Leave with a smile.

Hex
Nothings as real,
As the cold kiss of steel,
I'll turn and burn,
And never learn,
Distanced pain is all I feel.
Faster than neurons fire,
For the speed I desire,
Burn and flex,
Spinning hex,
Nothing can take me higher.
The flow increase,
Without surcease,
The void is screaming,
Pain with meaning,
Restraints now decease.
A cerebral red-line,
Cold eyes now shine,
A rush without end,
A will to end,
A new order of rhythm and rhyme.
A final leap,
Flesh can no longer keep,
Reality's just a veil,
Fluid beyond the pale,
Eternals now sleep.
From the black sea surround,
A thin beckoning sound,
The void now a voice,
An oblivion of choice,
Within sight is terminus.
9/1/96
Hold
Cutting parts sighs,
Like he's cutting away lies,
His skin so thin,
Almost seen within,
Twisting worms and spite,
Break through into light,
Gut wrench smile,
Open sores for denial.
Breaking out for new sensation,
Love and pain strewn relation,
Needles layered in broken dust,
Remnants from sutured lust,
Moving shadow in dusk's gloom,
City hangs under murderous moon,
Dragged by pulsing beat,
Spinning lights bleed red heat.
Cold lips burn,
From all that spurns,
A twist of hips,
And faking masks that start to slip,
Sweating blood is so belieing,
Not dancing merely dieing,
Sudden glance never left,
Fragile hearts soon bereft.
Bewitched by bedroom sight,
Subdued in candle light,
Passion's broken bone,
Dulls flame now alone,
Dismembered stains fade and grey,
Abused never hold this way,
Burning indiscretions,
Searching for new direction.
Decisions in a darkened room,
Fatal desire almost to soon,
A flow for destruction,
Embedded in twisted construction,
Something lost never regained,
Fury loosed no longer restrained,
Cold killer now arise,
Inner peace now realise.
9/4/96
Ivy
At the midnight hour,
I move to your dream,
Through the rusted gate,
Under the fallen arch,
Hidden in silhouette,
Of belltower moonlit.
In moons full glare,
I come to you again,
Past the old holy ruins,
Across whispering grass,
Among ancient tombs,
Between each heart beat.
Chorus
Hidden in ivy,
Twisted in green,
Between your lips,
You hold my scream,
Are you real,
Are you a Dream,
With blooded kisses,
You whisper my name,
With blooded kisses
With blood,
With kisses.
As dark clouds skate,
Across the moon,
I see your fleeting shape,
Entwined within the ivy,
Your arm reaching out,
To pull me in.
Glimpses of cool skin,
And crimson lips,
Of night coloured hair,
And ivy trailing,
Across your pale breast,
Along your legs.
Chorus
Held in your arms,
Trapped in your embrace,
You hold my breath,
Entrance my soul,
In your deep green eyes,
I'm sinking down.
You say we're forever,
But death seems so close,
Your coldness seeping into me,
The night so near,
And that mocking smile,
Dancing on your lips.
Chorus
Now the moon has set,
And your kisses more urgent,
As you start to fade,
You hold on to me,
You try to stay,
To be more than a dream.
You hold out your hand,
As you leave with the night,
For me to follow,
With you to stay,
Forever we will be,
Lost to the day.

Logic Burn
I have within me
this need
uncontrolled emotion
I can no longer heed
cold precision
intense desire
in a sudden rush
to assimilate the higher
a crimson flow
flesh and bone
resistant skin
as cold as stone
a flood of logic
constrained in time
twisted visions
I can only mime
assuming new flesh
a chromium soul
flickering lights
where once a hole
in every second
infinite perception
as I now see
the hidden deception
a new design
for this wasted land
where all will fear
the open hand
re-aligned horizon
flickering vision
shifting targets
controlled decision
a drifting shadow
in a land made dark
no longer a name
but a glowing mark
from this state
none returns
where fire warms
and logic burns
16/11/95
for Mal
Odd Verse 1
something thought lost,
found deep within,
now lies shattered,
maybe, never mattered,
reclaimed now broken,
now dormant, never spoken.
Odd Verse 2
just a flower in the flame,
only time can bear the blame,
and if we are all to burn,
theres just one thing left to learn,
that memories are all we can hold,
memories for which the soul is sold.
Odd Verse 3
Moving through moonlight,
Forever, never near,
While their shadows dance,
To a faint rhapsody,
That only they, can ever hear.
Shivers
I think I saw your face,
in a 80's horror film,
she had the same smile,
and I think my heart went out,
for awhile,
I replayed her movements,
in my mind - twisting in throws,
playing games with my pain,
found an empty breathlessness,
seek for that feeling again,
found a reason now its,
a quiet way of losing you,
flickering grey light,
all that remains now,
from giving up the fight,
resigned to nothing,
dulled by no longer hold,
curled up tight inside,
broken by memories,
of things I never confide,
as I stand in this silent land,
and watch the glaciers return,
three fold stronger,
encased deep within,
no light reaches any longer.
25/01/97
Strangers
We are strangers in a strange land,
Always fearing the open hand,
We are walkers of the ancient groves,
Forgotten places of which no one knows,
We are ghosts of distant times,
Dreamers from lonely world lines.
Chorus
We are the lost and lonely ones,
With forgotten memories of a familiar sun,
We are drowning in an empty sea,
We no longer can remember from where we come.
We have run under burning skies,
And hide ourselves while missiles fly,
We are dazzled by your brilliant suns,
While all around grey buildings run,
We stood still as your radiant dawned,
And hid our eye's to what is spawned.
We are wanderers of your desolate cities,
Your tortured young we so pity,
We are travellers of your crucified land,
Flowing images in the shifting sand,
Our eye's are the last to see,
The evaporation of your poisoned sea's,
Now your lands are laid to waste,
We flee your world with sad distaste.
3/7/93
Valentine
Your caresses as cool,
As graveyard moonlit,
Your voice a sigh,
On which dark shadows flit,
Your hair is the night,
And eyes as the stars,
As pale as the moon,
And ever as far.
Warm Red, Cool White
Cold winter mist on crawling skin,
Stagnant cry hides just within,
Silent alley holds bleeding shape,
Muttering horror must find escape,
Shuffling in crisp sodium night,
Vagrant eyes emit dull light.
Chorus
Don't be scared,
Don't cry out,
Razor on wrist,
Warm red,
Cool white,
Nothing really missed,
Falling into night.
Dark clouds hang in chill fright,
Moulten moon drowns out of sight,
Slippery lights slid through the rain,
Stale sadness soaks body again,
Crumbling madness claims the mind,
Bleeding hope falls behind.
Chorus
Last glimpse of life,
On glittering edged knife,
Pulling back and receding past,
Dreams of winning and always last,
Memories fade through your eyes,
And all you'll see are blood red skies.
Chorus
31/3/92
We're Dead
We're so happy to be dead,
We're painting our faces red,
With the blood we let from your veins,
And the soft marshmallow of your brains.
Who's Laughing Now!
Well your lover wasn't any fun,
When I showed him the gun,
On his knee's,
He tried to please,
But that ain't a game I play,
So I blew him away.
Chorus
Well who's laughing now,
You fucking unfaithful cow,
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Hey you don't look so smart,
With your face torn apart,
No ones kissing your ruby red lips,
Cause that's were blood only drips.
Yeah babe you don't look so sweet,
Now I've burned your feet,
No your no beauty anymore,
Now I've nailed your hands to the floor,
Chorus
Now I'll tell you it's a dream,
Everytime I make you scream,
I'll take you one last time,
Take you hard and break your spine.
Chorus
With my atheistic smile,
I'll make you crawl a mile,
Over broken glass,
Ha ha what a gas!
Yeah I'll make you cry tears of pain,
To be sure you'll never be unfaithful again!
Chorus
Ad Lib.
