Demon

In A Time That Drifts Off

Rock me in a cradle
Sing my lullaby
I tried hard to fashion words
To properly describe

Descriptions based on fact
In my world that wants to die
I fear more collapse
Of structures in my mind

These days are tiresome
I want to rise again
Leave me behind
A phoenix in disguise

A diamond in the rough
I will claim my demise
And embrace it warmly
Seeping-in-surprise

Embark on brand new missions
Packaged just like old
Old dreams of freeing freedom
From clutches of cold clones

But how much can be done
With dark welts in our souls?
Why help when help can’t find
It’s way into our lives?

We sing praises to our gods
Of commerce and industry
And to media moguls
Who steal their prophecies

Gods cannot withstand
The robbing of their tomes
Goddesses demand
Change that’s overruled

And one is left standing
One in the dark
One from the left
One dead in the park

Of my voluptuous world
Fake like words on pages dead
Dead tongues in present time
That escape uninventive minds

You could have learned
Reached cosmic forces
Lit new torches
But your scream scorches

The inside of a brain
Pushed to the edge
Can not restrain
The pain inflamed

Will you survive this disease?
Can you leave and be pleased?
The world begs you to stop
To think and to walk

Look at what you pass
On your stroll through the night
It’s as bright as the day
Old grudges light the sky

They will learn
They will know who is supreme
They will see evil
And it lives here with me

It lives within you
Within our leader
Together
Together we are one

We are one in a fright
Fright at the sight
Run away and go astray
Take their promise as truth

I can’t stress to you
But hope you see through
Defy all the lies
In a time that drifts off and no one cares
