Showing the way for true rock & rollers.

And casts his gentle, crimson rays upon the Apennines. 
Above the calm and golden hill, Agrippa’s villa stands:
A marble mansion reigning firm atop the ripened lands....

By sucking the blood splattered wood
That came from the coffin a vampire dropped off in
When he’d drunk all the blood that he could

Goodnight to our Rome with all your garrisons
and your streets that have become
as loveless as empty barracks.
For you I will never weep.
After all,
your Senators
Who made the deals
To keep the last

and lost in...

The dark holes of the unknown
Till one night I felt cruel...

Someone told me and have heard;
We were afraid;
A deposit made;
Awkward offering on roof occurred.

This actually happened and whole
roof was covered with it.,

Face fractured with fear 
As the Taxi drew near
The building was in the next street
" I'll drop you off here"

The keys rattled gently in his pocket.
Gradual jumps like the ocean,
Peaking with every heart
Or every step.
The music was in sleep
Allowing silence for thought
To contemplate on the sun,
Of this clean, clear October.

He sunk his eyes into...
