Midnight -- Hell's flight
The look in her eyes had all but left my mind
Now it all comes back looking dead coal black
Am I the victim or the criminal of this violent crime
The clock on the mantel
The shine of the candle
The smell of the jasmine
The laughter of the women
Ladies in waiting at the ball of the season's end
The shadows how they danced to the rhythm
of our romance
Can you but appreciate the sublime irony?
The short single moment of my life's greatest pleasure
The rapturous touch of an angel thought divine
Heralded my fall and took away my mind into Hell
On butcher's block he mocks and brings the shock to me
The bride delights with spite ill flame he came for me
Adieu itself a way to fear and tantalize
The cock I bear leave as the lonely fire surprise
How frequent blend our time the scar I come to cleave
The glare below the charred we play we need as some
Bright star -- renown her blush the sliver has become
The knot begat the come, the sick, the feel is one
Kill the tree that bears the fruit the love is gone again
Coveting life he rides
Dead line the lady descendant
The coach infernal attendant
With malice the figment abates
Till next the summons of fate

Scrawled in time
Wrath of all mankind
Now you know you're dealing with
Vigilante Homicide
3777
As the noon bell chimes
Think upon your crimes
The end growing nearer
Your noose we'll carefully wind
Paid in kind
Take and eye for an eye
Bury you without observance shallowly
And fill your grave with lime
What you did
You can't hide
Feel the burning inside
Scrawled in time
Wrath of all mankind
Now you know you're dealing with
Vigilante Homicide
3777
You'll never see heaven

See the Light

Stumbling in the darkness through the blackest night
My eyes are blinded
They are without sight
Evil crawls all over
It's enslaving me
I'm gagged and bound to the whipping tree
Danger to the left side
Malice to the right
Precipice before me
Devil's fire behind
But I see the light
Though you cast me out
Still I have my pride
Feel the power growing from down deep inside
With everything I do
I am more than you
Brings me closer still
Finally see the shining light
Danger to the left side
Malice to the right
Precipice before me
Devil's fire behind
From all the wrong you've done
With fear you begin to run
If you travel to the ends of the earth
Can't escape this monster's rebirth
I'm walking ten feet tall
Like a bear from antarctic thaw
I'm clever and I'm insane
And you will know my name
Though you cast me out
Still I have my pride
Feel the power growing from down deep inside
With everything I do
I am more than you
Brings me closer still
Finally see the shining light
Danger to the left side
Malice to the right
Precipice before me
Devil's fire behind
But I see the light

Alone I seethe in this hell
Within abyss I dwell
I taste my bitter bile
In impotent exile
Face within the darkness
Quickly growing nearer and nearer
Taking shape and focus
Of a one so dear
Inside the created torturous existence
Man lives with a destiny he cannot face
I feel the touch of your hand
Caress my troubled brow
With me once again
You are here somehow
After this has passed away
We have forever

Music is a gateway
A gateway to power
Observe the sacred chants
Upon this holy hour
The words of power command
The ritual garb is donned
The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that
urge us on
As it was so it shall be
What once existed becomes again
The past taking root within the present
Again and again and again
The seven judges that surround and guide
A soul through its journey
Around you now abide
Take a moment to recognize their faces
Seemingly different people with familiar traces
The language of deceased is the voice I wish to speak
To tell you the secrets of aged centuries past
Familiar scenes within a collective unconscious
They burn in minds and in time
Behold the door
Through this portal must pass
Each spirit as it seeks its way
Then reborn back to the dead
Another plane of nonmaterial existence
Is not remembered but in flashes until its reentry
Music is a gateway
A gateway to power
Observe the sacred chants
Upon this holy hour
The words of power command
The ritual garb is donned
The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that
urge us on
As it was so it shall be
What once existed becomes again
The past taking root within the present
