In the creeping tide
of time's eternal breadth
An engineer of Godhead's
machinations wakens
To shine its light on us
The fiery embrace of its love
cleanse the earth and skies above
The end of an age
Swallowed in widening eye
twelve centuries wait
its time is nigh
The seeds of creation
in the palm of my hand
I empower the willing
watch them crumble on my command
The great fire will purge
an epoch in its wake
Fall, red star, fall
we welcome the son of suns
Son of suns to be
set the earthbound free
enlightenment we seek
rid us of our weak

Phantomlimb

An unmarked stone rests upon a hill
the shallow graves dug in haste
not meant to keep carrion birds at bay
from the forest, wolves smell the meat
their eyes glow in the autumn mist
bearing their fangs, they encroach upon the shrine
he steals away into the dusk
cloaked in shadows
the phantom pains take their toll
he's paralyzed by fear
following the scent of blood
a clearing breaks in his view:
three stakes, to each one lashed
a carcass split in two
six hollow eyes stare
a rictus beckons near
the corpse speaks, "a rain will follow,
the waning days are here"
the chorus begins
seventeen score rise
encircling the pyre
one moves as all
the pupil of the night
dances with the bones
the three are gathered close now
he smells their charred flesh
as they dig into his skin
his dry lips part
from between crooked teeth
a hollow cry escapes
Under a stone
beneath the waves
hidden in trees
the dead kingdom fades
alone
the dead return to dust
cradle born
and slain in bloody lust
waiting to grow
and retake the claim
40 years will
rue the day
parasite
gnaws with boney teeth
phantom limb
weaves a bloody wreath

I feel these bonds weakening
ethereal threads dissolving
between my fingertips
Am I to lose you here?
To worlds unknown
and sights I cannot see
Locked within the spinal cord of a mechanist
A poison grafted its DNA to synthesize
Unresponsive gray matter, misfiring on all
attacks, wastes a fragile form
To the infinite madness
of eternal dreams
I am losing all I've ever known
my sorrow drowned
in your haunted screams
salvation lies in the Silver Key
A death march of synapses, a lost hope
charges blindly forward as a lemming,
molting nerve endings scream with electric
teeth, a wall closes as sound
To the infinite madness
of eternal dreams
I am losing all I've ever known
my sorrow drowned
in your haunted screams
salvation lies in the Silver Key
I would give you the world
just to ease your pain
just to save you from hell
for one precious second
To realms unknown
and gilded palaces
fields that stretch beyond
all imagining
I can take you there
to save you from yourself
You will perch atop
hollow cliffs of glass
I feel these bonds weakening
ethereal threads dissolving
between my fingertips
Now I must lose you here
To worlds unknown
and sights I can not see
please remember me

When I sit upon an opal throne
and begin my life anew
I'll stand high on crystal mountains
and I'll still remember you
many kingdoms this land has seen
and emperors none too few
I'll be known to all the villages
but I'll still remember you
Memories will etch their weight on me
of lovers, fresh as dew
but in my dreams I'll find solace
since I'll still remember you
My judgments will cause agony
and revolutions may ensue
in battles to defend my land,
there I'll still remember you
The years will carve their lines in me
flowing on blood the wars had drew
Many dead will cry the name
who will still remember you
Ages pass as my lineage grows
and my time will come due
I'll die alone, on my opal throne
when I don't remember you

Panoptitron Cincinnati, Ohio
Heavy metal from the future, about the future, and for the future. Narrowly escaping the cataclysm in the year 2XXX, two musicians have come back to the twenty-first century to tell their tale of the giant robot know only as THE PANOPTITRON. So bear witness, and don't say you weren't warned, as they weave a tale so harrowing and heavy, that it may alter the very future as they knew it. ... more
