Anthony Mathias Poem
Take these shackles and give ‘em to the bear, tell her I’ve gone home
Take these shackles and throw ‘em to the wind, I’ll live like that no more
Gonna find me the weapon that can kill off Mutley, end his child like rage
Gonna find me a whet stone, sharpening my sword, gonna end his blinkered ways
I killed off Mutley
In this war inside I wage
I killed off Mutley
And it means the end of days
Come a long way from our second city, I’m a long way from home
Come a long way from our second city and I’ll go there no more
Gonna find me a crag deep in the mountains, got to mend that old dog’s ways
Gonna find a lost city deep in the desert, make sure the flee pit pays
I killed off Mutley
In the war inside I wage
I killed off Mutley
And it means the end of days
Take this message for me, carry it home, tell ‘em I am no more
Take this message for me, carry it home, tell ‘em the evils gone
I found my mountain, out in the world, it wouldn’t forgive my ways
As I soar down the valley, out of this world, I know this old dog paid
I killed off Mutley
In the war inside I wage
I killed off Mutley
And it means the end of days

Anthony Mathias Poem
I watched the sun fade from the skies
I watched the moon blocked by your lies
Because of you, love fades from my life
That what is left doesn’t feel so right
As fingernails turn black with your hate
My soul realised that it’s far too late
Inside my mind, my love still sleeps
Inside my mind my love still weeps
I cannot find that love inside
Like clouds at night, you dim my mind
Light turned to black, life hard to find
Deceive and delay always your way
But karma will catch you out some day
From now until the last sands of time
Your fate will hunt you for you crime
Inside my mind, my love still sleeps
Inside my mind my love still weeps
I cannot find that love inside
But I have no regrets, I get no cold sweats
I’ve cleared all debts and your heated threats
Like the lifted weight of the sands of fate
I realise now, you were never my soul mate
As I rise once again from shadow and chain
I’ve passed through my fears and only I remain
Inside my mind, my love still sleeps
Inside my mind my love still weeps
I cannot find that love inside

Anthony Mathias Poem
Your governments throw your money to war,
But they have yet to even feed our poor.
Our roads are going to rack and ruin
But politicians cannot see what needs doing
They jump to fight the crimes of foreign states,
Whilst the crime at home reaches dire straits
They fly to fight for oils and earthly wealth,
While their own brothers wither through poor health.
Bureaucrats work through tall paper piles,
Bleeding your taxes with their slimy smiles,
Causing scandals and shocking news,
But the public is the one who’ll lose.
Now they nanny our very existence,
To which we are offering no resistance,
This is good for you and this is not,
Because our freedom we have forgot.
I distant memory it has now become,
A forgotten privilege forefathers won,
The right to choose our life and daily path,
With out the fear of high mighty wrath.
What will become of your children’s fruit?
When no longer they posses the choice of route,
Will they even have any choice at all?
Or will to the state all their choices fall?

Anthony Mathias Poem
Can we ever be free, unless we’re alone?
Our freedom encroaches, like a cyclone,
Crushing and destroying those of next door,
Like a wooden house, their freedoms no more.
For every freedom we gain, others lose
We battle against someone else’s views
True freedom means that all are unbound
But this would mean that no freedom is found.
Each person could do whatever they please
They could kill and hurt and take an seize
Thus true freedom is but a paradox
So I’ll stay here behind my chains and locks.

Anthony Mathias Poem
The light appeared upon the dark horizon
Twinkling brightly in the frozen air
Nothing could have been more surprising
Nothing else could make me stop and stare
Bright and clear like a star that descended
It shone towards me across open water
A promise of all things fixed and mended
An end to pain cause by emotional slaughter
Like a moth I drifted slowly toward it
Pulled in by the promise of love so warm
Making waves I came near bit by bit
To the light that could heal a heart torn
As I carefully approach this white vision
The black waves lapping its very base
I too late sensed the deep indecision
And all hope disappeared without a trace.
Plunged back into the pitchest of black
Adrift once again upon open water
My broken heart left with another crack
My emotions again my body slaughter.
Where is the sense and the logic to this?
To the pain caused by ones we hold dear
Is it something my mind’s made to miss?
If I don’t know how can I live without fear?

Anthony Mathias Poem
Those words that cut so deep,
Flayed my skin left me bare,
Still echo round when I sleep
Even though you not there
I keep bleeding I keep weeping
I'm wounded to deep to care
These scars I am keeping
To remind me you not there
Changed forever by the terrible poison,
That I took from this laceration,
Settled in my bones in my reason,
Beyond redemtion and renovation
Fallen beyond my hurts and injury
My anger rules my heart
It rages eternal, permanetly free
Love no longer a part
A black and broken thing i've become
Free falling away from light
Forgetting the heart love came from
In the dark out of sight
Resigned as I am to my dark fate
I curl up and around my agony lie
Lay quietly down I start to wait
For the cowl and sythe to let me die
But my dark friend finds me not
No matter how long i wait upon the floor
I must find him before i rot
Even if i journey ever more
Fairwells are made to those that care
Careful to hide my last destination
Few will note that i'm not there
So i set off without a reservation
I travel now to meet my friend
With cowl of night and boney stare
I'll welcome his embrace come the end
But i'm glad i will know no one there
I hope to see such pastures green
Sunsets red and seas so blue
All the sites the can be seen
Do all the things i can do
For before this trip i can complete
Before i reach my family home
I will find the friend that i seek
I will fade away all alone.

Belly round like a pot
Always smiling at his lot
Where I found him I forgot
The laughing Buddha short and squat

Fire dances over water
