So the ship will sail
For those who have the price to pay

To leave here if I pass away
This journal will speak
To the journey I now shall take
From life here so bleak

When he’d drunk all the blood that he could

Here in my basement, my...

Hot as hell, emotions fire the flames, 
Nervous about meeting doctors, nurses, 
Curtain separates them from congregation,
The veil is not torn in two, but steamy adulation,

And prepared ourselves to fight and die,
Some willing, some pressed, some volunteers,
All with deep down hidden fears.

Walking down the dock on a sunny sunny day,
The ground begins to tremble,
The boards begin to shake.

Residue 

Wrapped in cellophane and ribbon 
mocking burned down evergreens
Screaming at the shadowed walls
as nightmares spurn your toxic dreams

Lurking near the bottles filled with

A man from the Canadian Mounties 
Joined the Strathclyde police,
Seconded to tame the gangs
Of the inner Glasgow streets.

But on one sunny day
In Southern Lanarkshire,
A horse escaped from its stable
To bring some local fear.

So they called our...
