That Golden Flash

you fell into my arms, tumbling slowly like a seashell dancing in the waves
you brought an open mind, perched it gently in the trembling corner of my soul
you looked into my eyes, gazing brightly like a giant burning in the sky
we fell into the night, wisdom traded for desire and lust uncontrolled
we brought our open hearts, clinging gently to the broken dreams of our past
we woke up in the morning, wondering loudly if the passion will ever cease to shine

she fell in love with a lonely heart
went to rest with a lonely heart
spent her days in a foreign land
came to pass in a foreign land
a tragic tale of a tragic life
a window’s view of a lonely wife
the warm embrace of sorrow’s touch
the prisoner’s guide to handsome trust

don’t look yourself in the eye
you might not like what lives inside
darkness lurks where demons hide
don’t sketch your portrait of the saint
you can’t earn your halo without pain
you’ve been dancing with the sharks
who seek forgiveness in the dark
bodies of ruin lie in your wake
face like an angel, heart of the snake
Hades and torture may be your fate
don’t leave your light on for the dead
when glory and power have fucked up your head

There was a threat from the wrong side of town
There was a threat from the wrong side of town
Perceptions of peace stir ashes of hate
There was a threat from the wrong side of town
There was a threat from the wrong side of town
There was a threat from the wrong side of town
Confusion is a long way from home
The depth of foul play, the harassment of ideology
The wrinkle of desperation, aromas that float past the blind
Shadows that howl in the night, like the morals that clothe the masters of sin & misery
Bewilderment adorns the uncouth
Mammon cripples visions of bliss
Salvation trumps life on the throne
Fear the hand of the just, and the memories of those who are wronged
Don’t delay with pleasantries, behold the wise with a sigh
Diamonds of righteousness shine in the fragmented moonlight
Echoes of treason grow loud, as futures fade in the day
Satchels of hope for the starved
Handcuffs and clubs for the bored
Outrage and lust for the mob
Nightmares of hell for the pure
Rivers of sweat are born with the poor
the longing for purity that aches in their veins
victims of angst seek retribution for the ways of the world
persuasion is a tool forged by the damned
There was a threat on the wrong side of town
There was a threat from the wrong side of town
She was caressed by the wrong side of town…
There was a rat on the wrong side of town
They forced love on the wrong side of town
Foreclosure of hope for the vile
They drew blood on the wrong side of town…
There was unrest on the wrong side of town
They shed blood on the wrong side of town
They spilled blood on the wrong side of town
Portraits of beauty appeal to the vulgar
The romance of hatred dies with a slaughter
There was a threat from the wrong side of town

Travel Toy

I’m just a whore
I don’t bleed
With frozen veins
I can’t feel
I used to hurt
But I got wise
So I went dead
Inside
‘cause I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
Don’t take me home
Dreams gone by
Flood the sea
Hope just sails
Pointlessly
I opened up
Will this pain last?
Come use me now
I’m fading fast
‘cause I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
I’m just a travel toy, travel toy, travel toy
Don’t take me home
