"What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait?" [―Charles Baudelaire] In a world controlled by fire.. In a world controlled by fire, Psychotic preachers thrive. They use the waves to bind us, They use the screens to blind us. I joined headless forces They told us what to do. We worked, we fought, we bled. A cogwheel in the system, A ghost in the machine. In my private thoughts, Only pain felt real. Cry! I am crying, in the portrait Of a headless man. Laugh! I am laughing, in the portrait Of a headless man I am a man with strong regrets. I followed great deceivers Believe in headless leaders. They played their game, true sons of Cain But I was a hopeless dreamer, With my head deep in the clouds. More joined the fiery leaders, And blood was shed in rivers. Those without a mind had to pick our side, With the use of fearsome methods. One more empty frame ready for display, On a gallery of headless portraits. Cry! I am crying, in the portrait Of a headless man. Laugh! I am laughing, in the portrait Of a headless man

"In memoriam of Hypatia, a great mathematician, philosopher and astronomer, murdered at 415 A.D. by order of Cyril the Bishop of Alexandria. Cyril later was declared a saint by the church…" Your books, your friends, your life is in mortal danger. The things are tense and knowledge is offense. In this nation vast deception reigns. Church and politics threaten your survival. A strife has grown between faith and wisdom. You chose to stand for the exalted ego. Your creation, a creation maimed. Blame the vultures for their vile way. The mob: "Run Devil's seed! You will face the wrath of God. Run Devil's seed! You will face the wrath of God Run Devil's seed!" You will face the wrath of God. The highest price you'll pay. You will face the wrath of God. The highest price you'll pay. Martyr Unyielding force of thought and spirit. Martyr Unyielding force of thought and spirit Your essence remained. Your work, your life, your books. Unyielding force of thought and spirit, shine!

"Life begins and ends with a breath. The art of sound is an art in darkness, unseen, yet real as the wind." Blessed be the night, the architect of all creation. Her wings are wide and strong and black. She is bleeding light. Stars form a congregation She is the force, our soul and fire. Blind lead the blind. Another day The sun is lost. Nocturnal cities Secrets lie buried in the sand. To craft the dark art we used our soul. Emotions bleed, but we stay strong. Disciples of the Dark Art. To craft the dark art, we used our soul. Emotions bleed, but we stay strong Darkness binds the world! Save me! Another day The sun is lost Save me, strong wind. Strong and bitter and cold and old

"Ph'nglui mglw'naph Cthlulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" Gothic walls below the sea. Corals rising high. A building is standing tall, Fearful, yet majestic. Surface dwellers never come, Yet it haunts their dreams. Tales about Atlantis come to mind. When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting, Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below… Hail! Cthulhu lives. He escaped the abyss. Hail! Cthulhu dreams Of his house in the deep Hail! Cthulhu lives. He escaped the abyss. Placed upon the ocean's floor, On the abyssal zone. Sunlight cannot get down here And freezing currents flow. Rusting chandeliers Are hanging from above. Chthonian priests Are praying to elder gods. When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting, Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below the sea. Hail! Cthulhu lives. He escaped the abyss. Hail! Cthulhu dreams Of his house in the deep. When the waters kiss The mouth of madness And the sea is chanting, Horrid fish come as guardians For our church Our church, below the sea.

"The face of Tiamat, like the ocean's surface, is but a reflection of an ever-changing sky." Always so distant. Hiding from the sun. He is looking around her, To find where she is not. The archway of Heaven, The saints of the Earth, Old parts from her broken ribs. Now she is enthroned On the spaceless void. She is breathing fire as a dragon And we all feel the heat. Her touch is soft as the wind. Faceless Queen A mask your only skin Faceless queen Faceless queen, Can you remove, Your mask of skin? She is enigma, A canvas without frame. Worshiped as Goddess By the toys she made from clay. Behold the Faceless Queen! Behold the Faceless Queen! Her realm extends to the endless sea And she rules from the spaceless void. She is breathing fire as a dragon And we all feel the heat. Her touch is soft as the wind. Faceless Queen A mask your only skin Faceless queen Faceless queen, Can you remove, Your mask of skin? The serpent with the golden crown, Faceless staring at the sun. The serpent sits upon its throne, Faceless staring at the sun. Always so distant. Hiding from the sun. He is looking around her, To find where she is not. Behold the Faceless Queen! Behold the Faceless Queen!

"What you keep feeding with strong emotions and thoughts, is growing inside your mind, until finally it starts feeding by itself…" Your future life can be at stake. From good to worse. Make no mistake! One moment here, the next one gone. The seed of terror soon will grow. We learn to live with fear each day. It has to be another way. As moments fly, the things we want will be obtained, Or maybe not. ACTH, epinephrine, Are flowing through the bloodstream. The fear of failure The fear of death The fear of loss The Gospels of Fear Embrace fear A grim companion is always there. His vicious thoughts are hard to bear. In every mind, in every soul he gains control. He offers help but in exchange you have to step inside the cage. Dare not to question the things you'll see, All kind of horrors you will perceive. Toxic thoughts come to thee, Vicious mouths eating thee. The Gospels of Fear Embrace your fear.

Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva – Creator/Preserver/Destroyer. Father/Son/Holy Ghost – Mind/Body/Spirit. Past-Present-Future. I am the abyss, I am the way, The secret door to a hidden cave. A different place to the garden of fools. You can enter here, if your steps will lead you to… Thoughts are sailing fast, like ships into a storm. Dreams are fading; they are heading to a point of no return. You can call me Trinity, as three divide the whole. One third of me, is what you see. A mirror is my astral door. Trinity Remember what you always have been. Trinity The one that is three. Trinity The one possessed by three.
