+++++ +++++ Little Magic Girl Wicked light Luring and illuminating lust Stainless heart Metal and encumbered by her spell As the darkness feeds the night She stands alone Bound by her hex of all vanity A belief in some ancient way Nothing can stop her now Little magic girl ah Power wand in hand ah Casting innocence and such And I long to feel her carnal sorcery Blackened hate Flurrying around us like a snake Wretched beast Summoned from the cursed bowels of fear As the darkness feeds the night She stands alone Bound by her hex of all vanity A belief in some ancient way Nothing can stop her now Little magic girl ah Power wand in hand ah Casting innocence and such And I long to feel her carnal sorcery With a petal flash Quickly she transforms Off the musky mere Color flashy plush Heated to reveal The spark of her desire Bound by her hex of all vanity A belief in some ancient way Nothing can stop her now Little magic girl ahh Power wand in hand ahh Casting innocence and such And I long to feel her carnal sorcery How I long to feel her carnal sorcery +++++ +++++

+++++ +++++ Waiting for That Day Look Into dark and unstable fears Tear A belief of these things apart We live and feed on heaven Fasting for the future Lit by the lust of eons Waiting for that day You need not speak I know Even if walls thick as bone do us divide I hear you You need not weep I know Even the god-lion bleeds, he is a beast after all Wait For divinity too must sleep Leave Not a trace of our substance mere We live and feed on heaven Fasting for the future Lit by the lust of eons Waiting for that day You need not speak I know Even if walls thick as bone do us divide I hear you You need not weep I know Even the god-lion bleeds, he is a beast after all It’s been far too long I’ve been ready for a while What do you say We make a break For all time We live and feed on heaven Fasting for the future Lit by the lust of eons Waiting for that day You need not speak I know Even if walls thick as bone do us divide I hear you You need not weep I know Even the god-lion bleeds, he is a beast after all I know Even if walls thick as bone do us divide I hear you You need not weep I know Even the god-lion bleeds, he is a beast after all +++++ +++++

Wish Us Well 04:59
+++++ +++++ Wish Us Well Feel the touch as melting Is the growth within your lust, desire Feel the gaze as breathing Is the meld of two emotive beings And to the fairest, seeds that never spoil And to the wisest, thoughts that never break Wish us well On our way Seeking, shape-shifting to approach unity Calming, giving chase to a dream surreal Hoping, wondering if a pulse pierces through Longing, still so charmed by the goddess pure Ah Feel the song as moving Is the youth that curl in motion mazes Feel the voice as healing Is the life and ruby, crimson feeling And to the fairest, seeds that never spoil And to the wisest, thoughts that never break Wish us well On our way Seeking, shape-shifting to approach unity Calming, giving chase to a dream surreal Hoping, wondering if a pulse pierces through Longing, still so charmed by the goddess pure Ah Cleaving out the zealous Oh to sear away aberration Spilling out until that day And to the fairest, seeds that never spoil And to the wisest, thoughts that never break Wish us well On our way Seeking, shape-shifting to approach unity Calming, giving chase to a dream surreal Hoping, wondering if a pulse pierces through Longing, still so charmed by the goddess pure Ah +++++ +++++

Note 02:48
+++++ +++++ Note Bellied time on wither past Ripened age I reach at last And I find it quite enticing Pickled nights I see in dreams Sugared whale with relish seams And I find it quite enticing To feel of her, just to know another's warmth It's this I crave Mortar moss and pleaded tide This in you I might confide And I fear that we must sever You have showered much on me Yet what's feathered isn't free And I fear that we must sever Our fleshly bond, this thing was born impure And I must go Understand that as the melting moon impairs the sordid sun I will feel you nevermore +++++ +++++
5.
Sweet Bee 04:03
+++++ +++++ Sweet Bee Incased the fairest, in crystal cell None but the insects to greet her Coursing with honey, a meaty bee Lands softly dreaming in mirrors And though she feels for his innocence and his hive mind Hunger pulses, a fractal crack beneath the soil of her soul Come to me, darling, my pollen ripe Cling to no word from your stout queen Fear not the spider of time collapsed He cannot break you if I’m here And though she feels for his innocence and his hive mind Hunger pulses, a fractal crack beneath the soil of her soul Charmed by her sentience the soldier nears Resting his wings on her pale hands And though she feels for his innocence and his hive mind Hunger pulses, a fractal crack beneath the soil of her soul +++++ +++++

+++++ +++++ Across the River And if you feed your fear The anger bitter Another moment lost Will grow in symmetry If it were you that sees Across the river, where would you want to be? I release the demons, the feral lot That holds no love of me I release the endless revisiting It’s all an instant past Leave the conscious nothing to feed into These energies of hate Seek the solace, substance, humanity of Sentimental mind But if you feed your fear The anger bitter Another moment lost Will grow in symmetry If it were you that sees Across the river, where would you want to be? Born of flesh and blood, we invigorate Alike and give to all Longing requites longing and where there is a Will there is a way Leave the conscious nothing to feed into These energies of hate Seek the solace, substance, humanity of Sentimental mind A seed, a morning from a beginning Reaches for nothing The end, the shadow to our light And if you feed your fear The anger bitter Another moment lost Will grow in symmetry If it were you that sees Across the river, where would you want to be? +++++ +++++

Lament 03:00
+++++ +++++ Lament And I feel quite impure Bleeding peel and dither bright All I sate is severed saint Giving endlessly, but why? If all I am is skin and slave Do I long for something more? If there's emotion left unbound Debase and tear the chords within my heart If I'm defiled till I burn Don't ask of me, I'm broken, drowning in the sand Yet they've done so much for me Twisted shifters pierce like snow But how I long for beauty blind Regal song and feeling pure If there's emotion left unbound Debase and tear the chords within my heart If I'm defiled till I burn Don't ask of me, I'm broken, drowning in the sand Oh how I love her so My little castaway, she'll be mine forever Never wanting anything Living just for me But still... If there's emotion left unbound Debase and tear the chords within my heart If I'm defiled till I burn Don't ask of me, I'm broken, drowning in the sand I'm called to spill again +++++ +++++
8.
+++++ +++++ Live With Love Fated years I fork Tuning zeal, the id, and more Seated calm I mate Pooling empathy for her And so Live with love of others Not fear The homunculus takes to our form if matted will Leaks it's able essence Not fate We are relation, bound by no myth reality Metal on, the increate armor Melding, binds us from our past Dappled eyes, they peer Through the cracks of damage healed And so Live with love of others Not fear The homunculus takes to our form if matted will Leaks it's able essence Not fate We are relation, bound by no myth reality Through the almond door, just ask for Proxima Is it you I felt? Is it you whose voice I heard? Tell me boy, what see you in your dreams? 'Tis a lusting beauty, beckoning to me And so Live with love of others Not fear The homunculus takes to our form if matted will Leaks it's able essence Not fate We are relation, bound by no myth reality Live with love of others Not fear The homunculus takes to our form if matted will Leaks it's able essence Not fate We are relation, bound by no myth reality +++++ +++++

Colors 04:24
+++++ +++++ Colors Melody eyes as the girls rip their smiles through the wall Consigned and altered by the norm Each with a gem like a corset constricting their feed Flesh of some reality I do place them, each like an empress Towers of yearning innocence, in our soul Rushing red, saintly beauty Molten black, dark with fear Orange doll, angled packaged Flowing white, blessed with life Ah Leaving the farce under age-biting girls All are tears from our eyes Radiating happiness It is love to simply siphon the wave The pulse of energy that beats from their hearts Whether really felt and true or a false road of flowers I don't really care Yellow fire, roaring knotted Purple fix, torn subdued Five as much, just as lovely Stainless pink, held but guiding Ah +++++ +++++
10.
Together 03:16
+++++ +++++ Together In oppressive eye as emotions fall We embrace all the tears as a sign If the misty time, effervescent, gleaming Whirls as a gale of the will Let it bend and bind its shape to reach for her And breed us together Together And in hoping blight be purged Lifted high by winds of zeal Will I feel into her soul In a motion light as the voices quell We again see the pulse as a sign If the lust is pure, little more than pensive Build us a love happenstance Let us bend and bind our shape to reach ourselves And breed us together Together And in hoping blight be purged Lifted high by winds of zeal Will I feel into her soul +++++ +++++

+++++ +++++ Infinity Gaze Peril alive Thrusters set to burn Kick in the gear Leave the world behind Where we go Pure phases Bare pulses Birth stars Gravity songs Warping the voice of the void Seeker of all Grazing the ends of the spark Where we go Pure phases Bare pulses Birth stars Cave caustic Seeds cosmic Light years All this awaits Infinity gaze It’s a call from beyond A melody old Just a cyclical tale We relight all the universe a tear Ever marching onward, onward ah Gravity songs Warping the voice of the void Seeker of all Grazing the ends of the spark Where we go Pure phases Bare pulses Birth stars All this awaits Infinity gaze It’s a call from beyond A melody old Just a cyclical tale We relight all the universe a tear Ever marching onward, onward ah In knowing sleek splitters beige and blue, a man, lowly though he leads deafening daughters to unknown stars, cleaves through some jagged prism of time, the waves of reality slowly warping his impulsive yet undying impetus into small symmetrical cubes of stardust, wherein only the lack of gravity is compressed. As limiting such cosmic wave forms, he fears that in harmonies still splashing about the solar wind, his machine is beyond lost in counterintuitive computation, its gleaming metal plating stained like the science of a forgotten race of beings. The creation is so unlike our own, words become visible in our psychic viewing of the past All this awaits Infinity gaze It’s a call from beyond A melody old Just a cyclical tale We relight all the universe a tear Ever marching onward, onward ah +++++ +++++

+++++ +++++ Starlight Desire Take heart Give her time Embrace the endless night Words of ancient songs Movement Know it’s true A paradox of void Still the day shall come Stargaze We are as one Feeling the warmth of her touch Shifting reality Starlight desire Love under cosmic light Seeker Lost in thought Is all phase of lust? Modular and cold? Tracking Vector mind Release the static binds Still the day shall come Stargaze We are as one Feeling the warmth of her touch Shifting reality Starlight desire Love under cosmic light One motion Words of intimation Sparking divine Lay lightly Altering creation Union of fire Stargaze We are as one Feeling the warmth of her touch Shifting reality Starlight desire Love under cosmic light Warmth of her touch Shifting reality Starlight desire Love under cosmic light +++++ +++++
