The vision of his apocalyptic age 
And the rise of the terrible Queen of Stone
Imprinted a harping chord upon my mind

The charade of porn
hostages of the blackmarket
never see them around
double d's head in the toilet
not sure if they too have been claimed a victom

to cover up greedy hands dirty for oil
The arms race that has been promoted
since the discovery of the gun
just more ammunition to kill ourselves with
leaving us asking what...

Wherein coconuts, new and old, heaped like a hillock dome;
Kid-butterflies, we're often asked to pick some for curry,
Finding phantom-forms we ran as scared as rabbit bury...

Stay within and time is still
A thousand swords swing against a single bladed spear
A surviving champion feared has the advantage 
How long can his strength hold out
Slice and slash, lunge...

Better to be bold in battle
then benign in retreat!
No victory comes from actions prattle;
May honor be found in refusing defeat -

My vaults will not be breeched
by faults,
may we have a merry waltz
devoid of all unsavory...

through
the ossuary 
you called our...

but an ally, a friend,
A guide to perfection,
Perverts the way of the pervert,
A guide to perfection

But the acts happened we can’t afford;
Make 3 pairs to reach the past,
