Jealous God

Wodon gave them song and verse
Promethius gave them fire
Dionysius gave them wine and games
Orpheus played the lyre
Atlas held the world aloft
Fenrir consumed it whole
Ceres gave them seeds and crops
Ran the waves that roll
Pandoras box kept evil locked
Rati set love free
Boreas brought the winters frost
Eostre, springs fertility
But for my name they are nothing,
Upon these you may not call,
For I am christ the jealous god,
And I destroyed them all
So do not sing mousai's songs
Rebrand all festivities
For each of you are heathen
And theres is only me

Lies

don't share with me your lies,
why converse at all,
sweet words sinister and unkind,
make a man a fool,
heady thoughts of a mind in stupor,
your 'truths' unreasonable,
keep it to yourself next time,
honesty has rules.

Newhaven Town

Newhaven

This is the town that time sank,
Grey shades of dust on riverbanks,
where the gulls they flock a'frenzy


Those were the shops the road choked,
accessible through a haze of exhaust smoke,
each building there now stands empty,.


This is the land where the trash burns,
This small stretch of boozers and cab firms.
And a ferry port for entry.

This is the town of Newhaven,
and I doubt there's a thing that can save 'em,
for the money it left with the gentry.
