A Mended Rhyme

They told me what I should do They gave me a way to get to you You never stood a chance The screen is never truly blank and I can't hide my mind Behind lie words that tear inside of me Their faces find me anywhere and in my room I feel their stare The walls are cold they shimmer blue Their vision hides inside of you This Circuit Vision My memories fade and I appear Submerged and lost in digit beams I confine myself within myself A circuit glows I feel the need An interface 'tween man/machine They boot my mind and steal my dreams as they feed me deep inside Fractal code interlocking my spine Feeding new format breaking mine down System runs steady Colour code true ID# strands altered Connecting me to you ...this Circuit Vision You couldn't dream you had no mind but now my eyes see only what you feed me Conversely seen it's all so clear Behind the news they're always there The integration's just begun I make my move when they say so My eyes feed Data they must know A night of secrets by the screen is all the programming I need

From a glade was heard songs of angels that blessed the land Now the time of their arrival was predicted years ago and now they shine In the time before the ravings of the dark cloaked men began Men had lived in peace for ages and they'd lived from of the land Now their lives all changed from better to a state still growing worse And the ravings of the cloaked men promised darkness in return But angels shine See the bitter heart sow darkness summon clouds to hide the sun and they tower up before you and they cover up the sky Hear them sing their songs of hardship under moon that none can see Hear them chant, yes hear them raving for the tide to turn on me But angels shine Then from far away from a land unknown came a man so thin you could see his bones 'said when I am gone and the night is still and a few good hearts all unite in will then they pray along with the prayers of mine and the dark men fall as the angels shine

He sat there so idle just sat on the ground I watched as he mumbled but I heard no sound I dared not go closer I dared not at first but somehow I got there My son said the father I can not explain The reason I left you has caused me much pain I dared not come closer I dared not at first but somehow I got here Sometimes I hear them in my mind Dare I join them now It's A mended rhyme at a preset time Join them now or lose them forever A silent mime The final chime Just join them now He did not lift his eyes just sat there and cried Now I know the words I heard him say I joined him on my knees and then even I cried He wiped away my tears that's when I heard him say...

Oh Merchant, yes merchant The trader of souls The bringer of darkness damnation and cold In secret betrayal with cunning and lies he steals you, deceives you There's fire in his eye A strange world of neon of light by your side There's paradise waiting The stranger remembers the lines in your face Through ages that follow his due stays the same Collecting his children still fire in his The burning desire consuming their minds A strange world of neon of light by your side There's paradise waiting A long way from grandeur It's passing you by Merchant, oh merchant an angel of light The trader of souls Believe me he's lying The trader of souls Believe me he's dying

Not long ago on a world not so far the King sent four riders pure in their hearts Search for the Spirit Search for the Lamb All of my children rise It's time to leave the Royal Fleet is here So be the truth that none of you may enter lest the Royal Crown you bear in your heart The Court and the King and his followers stood aboard awaiting the riders to gather them all First came the Lion then came the Lamb The fire of the Spirit has now left the land Wrapped in the fumes of the underworld all ships leave Up rises Five and they claim all that is and will be Search for the riders Find us the Lamb Bring us the Spirit His heart in our hands Seconds before the departure all eyes fell upon a ragged man Torn and wild-eyed he turned facing the crowd Raising his staff to the sky and these are his words Now the stars may still shine and horizons be clear but the Spirit is gone Come the time the time of no sun Spirits of Five grasp control of the world Knowing here after Follow the ages of peace Under strict supervision Hear me ye prophets ye spirits of Five Hear when I speak of starvation and strife Their prophets performing an act all will see and worship their master Few will escape most are drowned in the eternal sea A time has just ended your work has begun Now come what will be the time of no sun

Watching the hills from the tower up north he sang, no he bellowed a song to the glory to the power of Karak Azul His heart now uneasy it would not be stilled A sickening stench an odour of greenskin like so many years before Trollslayers, trollslayers mighty and proud Trollslayers now meet your fate in this battle you die for you surely will die The dragon tide will sweep you away The dragon tide will darken this day Lord, King, see the skies Oh, worse this our doom Accursed be this day It's memory be black Riding the winds dragons fly They drop 'hind our lines They strike from above Clansmen stand proud Stare death in the eye Riding the winds dragons fly

Underneath lie barely seen and rarely touched All things untold Stone upon stone So foul, so cold A shadow of old Into the night Driven by what none can see Scarcely bound but hardly free A shadow of old A story untold A gathering rot The vacant lot A stray dog send shivers down your spine The remnant wall stand ever the same Hair of the dog won't help you at all The street's all deserted We'll swallow you whole Our minds intermingle a raven so black A spiralling stairway keep calling you back Tentacles, tentacles tighten their grip Downwards in circles the deadliest trip We mould you impassive all tainted and sore Abiding our master keep calling you Tentacles, tentacles tighten their grip Downwards in circles the deadliest trip

I remember his eyes as he entered the hall My kingdom was lost and he spoke unto all We see here the signs of witchcraft and I know these words to be true The devil besieged you by means of this puppet his tool and he pointed at me Four years has now passed and I've seen no light no hope for the truth or a glimpse of the world I once ruled Of all that I used to cherish of all that I used to do remains but the prayers and my faith in the spirit of truth and he pointed at me Guest of the inquisition I'm a guest of the inquisition Guest of the inquisition They stage the play When it all began I for one can't tell but I first saw those eyes seven years ago I never knew their true intent It strikes me now how blind I must have been One after one we all fell strangely ill and floating lights were seen Awaiting the fall I guess I should have known The secretive ways of the Master Inquisitor A sinister mind conspires a mind numbed by power and greed Now left in this hole I see eyes and they're staring at me Yes, they're staring at me...
