When you hear a voice in the wilderness That's tempting you in hours of loneliness Remember the strength that was shown by Christ In the desert those forty days and nights. Demons are alert when you're at your worst They'll come along when you hunger or thirst When you feel that life is losing sparkle They quickly jump in, dodgers...

Premium Member Emilokan the Chants of Rogues
Emi’lokan, the lyrics from a loon, the vituperation born from the womb of greed, the menace of recycled gangsters. Emi’lokan, the beggarly shame of old vermin, the intrusion of mafias and thuggish urchins, Emi’lokan, The insanity accepted as norm, Emi’lokan the dystopia of dementia, great grandfathers suspending relevance of their poisoned docile Youths, Emi’lokan,...

Heroes and Rogues
Yesterday, The sky was arrogant; Arrogant with hope, Spread like bush fire, By heroes, Rogues so called, Who fought cannons, To set us free, Free from chains of colonialism. Today, The sky darkens; Darkens with frustrations, Set deep in dark furrows, By rogues, Heroes so called, Who fight with cannons, To keep us impoverished, Impoverished in the grip of democracy. Tomorrow, Who knows? But time will tell, The heroes from the rogues....

Shadowy Rogues
Shadows here, shadows there, shadows everywhere, Moving, flying, lying in wait, Creeping out on me and my mates. No one should expect to be safe, Especially, if you are out late. Scary, limp, darken and dreary, Sending the chills to make me weary. Every moment I’m friendless Wishing they let me sweat less. Shrivelled up in a strange corner, Smelling their odd decaying odour. Fearing...

Rogues Along Restricted Roads
Eve, my Luv wake up, lift your eyes unto the torch of my soul, place your hand on the chest of my goal, I've been sleeping anxious, with your beating heart within the craddle of my ribs, faithful for our Future, preparing for departure, such as Monarch butterflies anxious for their flight, like the ones that landed on your arms after we...

Broken Hearted Rogues
Broken hearts Mean broken ears As we sing out Our broken tears Broken hearts Mean broken fears As we all shout Our broken tears Shout to me Scream with me Run away and hide with me I need you now To stay with me Break tradition Don't leave me We can live In our own heads Forget real life Dance like the dead Our own thoughts And our own dreams Don't have to...
