Save me
From the rolling thunder
I will
Make it home
I should never have left the island
I’m cold, sick, and alone
I will destroy
Poseidon
I have to for the life of me
His ocean
Is destroying my body
Bury it with my family
Alone I travel
The ocean
Guided
By Penelope’s bed
Are these eternal monsters?
Soon I’ll know
If this is in my head
An ancient feeling deep within
Thrusts itself towards the sky
What?
Is this freedom?
I think so hard I want to die
So far away
I see the ships on the horizon
So far away
An island forgotten
Oh
Rising up and away
Stay a while

Lord of Chaos

Bruised welts criss crossed him from shoulders to knees from whips wielded by an arm stronger than any man’s. Even inside the Void he had wanted to weep. After the Void went, he wanted to howl.
He clenched his jaws. Sometimes a grunt escaped through his teeth, and when one did, Erian’s efforts redoubled as if she wanted more. He refused to give it. He could not stop a shudder at each stroke of that invisible lash, but no more than that would he give her. He fixed his eyes on hers, refused to look away, to blink.
- Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time, book six.
Sleeping in a box
Head between my legs
They’ve beaten me to death (Oh, Light it hurts)
So I ripped out their eyes (Where am I?)
I’m losing my mind (Help me!)
At least I’m not alone (Why is there a madman in my head?)
Safe inside the box
The voice calls out to me (who are you?)
I can get you out (I will take control)
The choice is yours
I’m the dragon reborn (Ilyena!)
And I will win the war (I am the lord of morning)
And you will die
Asha’man, KILL
Contain me and you’ll die
I’ve broken through your chains
Ride the winds of time
And rise above the pain
Will we watch the sun, shade of my heart?
Will we ever know the end?
The Wheel of Time spins on and on,
And on, and on.
The men in black await
To consume the setting sun
Recognize your fate
For it is what I have done
Blood, fire, and death I crave the end.
At least I have a friend
A friend to watch my back by your side
And help you die
Kneel or you’ll be knelt
Serve the ancient sign
Justice shall be dealt
And not by your design

No you won’t change my mind
I know you feel real inclined
Just to keep away from ruthless pull
Now you’ve made me really full
Love won’t cost a dime
It won’t cross my mind
Until you cross his line
I know I gotta find a sign
Home was just a place grow
At least we made it past the low
Love won’t cost a dime
It won’t cross my mind
Heading down the highway
Give us a chance
One day I will be gone
All roads come to an end
Don’t waste another day
Playing your game
Come back into my life
Say my name
Tell me that you love me
While you have a chance
One day I will be gone
No you won’t my mind
I know you feel real inclined
Just to keep away from ruthless pull
Now you’ve made me really full
Love won’t cost a dime
It won’t cross my mind
Love won’t cost a dime
It won’t cross my mind

I hate the thoughts within, do they end or am I stuck like this?
To get me back on track I need the monkey off my back
You’ll know that you succeed if what’s behind is an eternity
when your thoughts turn black; turn without what’s inside of you
Reflections of the past wear your thoughts down; broken glass,
Can’t turn back the past when not all is built to last.
Walk a shining path you’ve not any say with who’s condemned you.
When you’ve come back we’ll return what we took.

Hard is the silence, you’re making so much noise
But you’re still down, your head is in the clouds
Wait, it’s worth it, oh John, the ups are in the downs
You’ll find out soon; a mountain doesn’t frown
Can’t you let it go, you’re better with the herd
That’s right, I forgot, you are so good
The need will come in time
Nothing you see is real;
Oh, Jack, what’s the deal?
Just please don’t lose your mind
You don’t have the answers; there’s more than you think
I know you’re high up there on your throne
Take my breath away
The air with every breath
May every step lead to your quest
And lead you to another day
Take all the time you need, start on a new day
It's the little things in life that make us okay
Step and you’ll be free
Hurry up and don’t be late
Run right through the gate
It’s locked but you can try the key

Nature's Queen

Do you see what I see? How far does this go?
We’re one in the same, not so close
Or do you deny the light in my eye?
The tree with two lights is your soul inside
Nature is one land under the stars
When you are eternal it’s the essence of your mind
But nature’s queen has lost her breath
How can you survive without the warmth inside her?
Hide inside your mind from the terror inside
It’s not insight, it’s not divine
The shadow comes to drown your world in black
How can you destroy me if I am your god
Burn brighter than the sun and you’ll eclipse,
But their warning’s gone amiss and I’m flying.
Exploding the stars as they go by,
A radiance of light to shine
You know I see the world in a trance,
But one day they will dance I saw the time machine
I’ve been lying through my teeth;
But one day you will need a king.
To wait a hundred years and have the day draw near
if you weren’t stuck in the past you’d let the river run
But now you’re all alone upon your mountain throne
I’ve watched the colours drain they burned the light from my eyes
My help did never come from the creator of love
But I’ve these pale white stone upon my mountain throne
They hold the fear inside, from which you hide
Covet three pale white stones under my mountain alone.
How can you watch yourself die if I have eaten the sun?
You’ll need the light of the stars to set the world on fire.

The eye of the world was not my goal
It’s ruby hilt entombs my soul
My breath does catch when it makes a sound
I must get free somehow
Oh the Birds don’t sing
The sun will shine on you my friend
Because the world made of glass
Will shatter and release the past
They dress me in white and call my name
I will never play their game
My call through the wind brings back the dead
As dice tumble inside my head
A lion or a cub won’t care to choose
The daughter of the moon I need to lose
Is it me they need for the final war?
At the very least I’ll keep the score
I’ll never be alone
But I will try and free my soul
You will never know
So we’ll run along wind to go
The holes in my mind don’t let me think
Our march leads on into the dungeons deep
A snake or a fox you can never win
So I’ll allow the wheel to spin

Stay by my side and I can show you the way
But you won’t get to the top unless you start today
What can it be, well it’s a puzzle you see
And day after day you’ll have to labour away
Please come and stay
Your mind will cast away
No matter what they say
You’ll never want to stay
The answer will come when you’ve learned enough
Stay by my side and we can speed up time
When you left me to die, did you find who’s who?
Between you and me, was it pointless too?
Please come and stay
Your mind will cast away
No matter what they say
You’ll never want to stay
The mirror reflects you haven’t learned from the past
How could you make mistakes when there’s a game to be played
You’ll never know what my heart can show
Why can’t we just be friends?
