Premium Member Armageddon, Lyrics
Broken souls and disillusioned dreams. (Drowning in a sea of dread…) Broken toys and angels without wings. (Fragile things…) Weep for the fallen brothers and infants without mothers. (No light, hopes where broken…) Pained tears encompass the empyreal rays. (No more days…) Pompous worlds painted in a destitute haze. (Where are we now?) Transmogrified in the iron flood. (Wash me clean…) Transmogrified in the spilled blood. (Still we...

Nothing to win nothing to lose
There is lots of work to be done But there is nothing to be won There are people that I have to greet And promises that I have to keep. The barking dogs in the street Have nothing to eat they roam The streets all night putting up A fight attacking the people the see And chasing the cars up and down The...

Political Stage
The world’s a battlefield, a restless stage, Politics a war, rage upon rage. Nations clash with words and might, Underneath the glare of a fractured light. Donald Trump, a seismic leap, A tempest roused from the deep. Voices thunder, crowds divide, Truth and lies in a tangled tide. An antichrist, some whisper low, Dark prophecies begin to grow. Fear and fire in the minds of...

Whispers Between the Circles
In the dim-lit dusk of a shattered world, where shadows gather but souls do not meet, I wandered—a hollow echo of Virgil’s path— between the ruins of ambition and ash. “This is the way the world begins,” whispered the dust-voiced guide beside me, “Not with a bang, but with endless scrolls and tongues too tired to speak.” I. The Circle of Silent Spectators Here,...

Tears of innocence
The war stains my eyes, Of unheard screams. So loud that I think, My eardrums will bleed. I'm centered on ground. The dirt beneath my feet, The crumbling society. And the guns taking my seat. My wife is dearly missed, Dead or Alive. If I see her again, They say "I won't thrive". A man is a man, And a gun is a gun, Be one, which one? Does it...

Premium Member Etched in Stone
Our village has a standing stone and on it etched are many names Of village men, both young and old, who gave their lives amid the flames The flames of war to end all wars A delusional hope for sure For as we know it still goes on To kill and slaughter many more So when we lay the poppies red. Honour...

Premium Member The Edged Effects Of Evil: Part 3
He viewed his name as an awkward constitution for commoners to address so plainly and nonchalantly. Adolf held a preconceived opinion that a simplistic reversal of his name would suffice. To avoid an embarrassing brouhaha, the name Adolf presented a less than formal relationship, which he viewed as unbecoming for an absolute future leader of...

War Dog
I know the sounds of war: They have become so familiar to my ears That they now sound like home. I serve alongside the soldiers— I have a job to do; I live to please. For the people who love and care for me, I’d do anything they ask. So into the sinking, sucking mud I go To find someone who needs...

Premium Member Brutal trench battle
Brutal trench battle I am only 18, a young yearning lad In battle I killed a man today, bashful does that make me lawfully bad Now living day to day, guilt-ridden and far from being gay Over the trench, not one hurried soul will less haphazardly reach a finish line I wish it were me to just jadedly enjoy my...

In Once Green Fields
In once green fields the larks no longer sing, Nor rise the owls to meet the waxing moon, For here amongst the mud no living thing, Is left to tell the horror men have known. A place now scarred and blighted for all time, Stands haunted by what never should have been, This testament to human, bloody crime Stands silent witness to...
