Candles
~by St.Ego
Lakes of wax
A flood of sin
the warm caress
Of burning chastity
As
those above
Purge the wicked
And send down
The impure
To
collect
And to die...
Luminous Damnation
~by St.Ego
Not consumed by hellish blaze
Not blinded by a holy daze
But enlightened
with revealing light
Of hell's resplendant spite
Hatred of deceptive
faith
That shines on knowledge burning bright.
Prayer of the Still Born
~by St.Ego
I alone chose the time and place
Until my choosing, nothing will merit the
effort
No single step must betray my vengeance
And nothing can stop
it
I wish to exact a revenge on this life
Reprisal for the curse of
life
Though the need for rest may be great
I shall not cease to hate
I
demand justification for this loneliness
Nothing can satiate this need but my
death
My rest must wait until those above
deem me ready to fulfill my
destiny
It is then that I shall strike
Bringing my self low and entering
that final sleep
Thus robbing life of my use
This is a neccesary
sacrifice
to demonstrate to God
That I am not a pawn
If life will not
serve my needs
Then I refuse to serve yours.
The Light
~by St.Ego
I've seen the light washing over me
I've seen the light, it comes falling
down
I've seen the light falling out of the sky
I've seen the light all
over me
Can you feel the light staring out of the sun
Can you hear the
light, like thunder
Take hold of the light with a fist of strength
Can you
tame the light, bend it to your will
I've caught the light, both fever
and flame
Taken hold of the sun, like a Roman god
Thrown it down in pit of
pain
And watched it scream till the light went out.
untitled - "Arm in arm, I walk with a shadow..."
~by St.Ego
Arm in arm, I walk with a shadow
In the valley of Death
And I know no
evil
Beyond the pathetic efforts of the ignorant
Those with anger and no
passion for the job at hand
And the cruel design that made children
fragile
Then I turned to peer back into the darkness
And perceived
footsteps beside my own
And I ask:
Why must I tread this path again
Was
it not enough to walk alone the first time.
Exodus
~by St.Ego
In the end there will be nothing
Nothing left to burn
In the end, the
flame's extinguished
Drowned in the floodland's churn
Somewhere on the Ark
that's vanished
Noah sails again
Somewhere in the water's churning
Noah
rides again
On a ship that's gone
On an ocean vanished
You and I will
drown
The end is near
The flame's extinguished
God is coming
down
He'll sear your soul
And raze your mind
He'll leave you nothing,
child
God will come
And take your soul
Bereft of sin and undefiled.
O Lord, Why Hast I Forsaken Thou
~by St.Ego
It's not enough to suffer angels,
martyrs, saints, and fools
You've got to
understand your hatred,
pity, fear, and other tools
No one ever said it's
easy
No one ever said it's fair
Taken under wing my children
These
simple truths I have to share
In the guise of faith and mercy
Prophets
tend to goad your soul
Hidden underneath denial
Lies a sacred truth you
hold
Belief in everything that's holy
Comforts those who fear to
see
Open eyes sealed shut by others
The light is plain, your soul is
free
Fettered by the chains of worship
Sermons preached on books of
God
Heresy at war with blindness
Breaking from the path they plod
Watch
the lambs go to the slaughter
Facing not what lies inside
They can't see
the world around them
Clinging to the lies they hide.
The Lie of Mirrors Told by God
~by St.Ego
Stand there
And watch the mirrors
All the mirrors run about
Everyone
around you
A mirror of your doubt
Everyone's unsure of
something
Everyone's in fear
They're all afraid to turn around
To
whisper in my ear
Truth is scarce and lies are plenty
Like mirrors, hell,
and love
They still exist inside our hearts
But not in god above
The
holy lie that binds us all
Is told to young and old
And even we who know
the truth
Believe the lies we're told
The lies exist in mirrors
The
live within our heart
We live the lie until we die
As we watch the truth
depart.
Three Dreams
~by St.Ego
The scream, the hunger, and the fear
These three dreams I have
These
truths remain for me alone to share
The scream inside your head
It
leaves my lies
To sear your skull
My dying breath will haunt your
mind
Never to end
The hunger consuming
Devouring
painlessly
Taking my flesh insatiably
Eager for death
And reaching out
for us all
Blinding and sighless wandering
Until it is all alone
In
the end, the fear
Alone without a prayer
Only the wish and a dull
ache
But words once muttered
And never again undone
Would slay the
residing innocence
But still alone
The fear arose
What would God allow?
