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?
