Loki Wyrd Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 The dark overlord is struck down by a mighty blow The people all cheer for their hero Meanwhile their hero is dismembered He has encountered the retreating evil They stand by and idly watch Not daring to intervene on his behalf The hero shall forever live on in our hearts Let us learn from the mistakes we have made The cynic speaks out, "We never do." Why, oh why, do those words ring true? ------------------------------------------ Sunshine and butterflies Rainbows and flowers I wonder if today If today will bring rain showers Rain in your hair Rain in your eyes Things walking the street Things in disguise Nothing to worry over No need to fret They'll be stealing away all the children All the children you've met Calm your pretty little head Calm your mind It's only a matter Only a matter of time They are coming They come soon To take you away Away with the monsoon The clouds begin to clear The sky is blue once more Now we can forget Forget all that horror The sun is shining The birds sing Too bad the children The children are missing No matter that No more rainshowers Only sunshine and butterflies Rainbows and flowers ------------------------------------------ I walk through a door The warm air Rushing through my hair The sun shining bright As if only it might Silence cries out My footsteps rout Their rise and fall mount It is drawing near Bringing with it fear Destroying all you hold dear All one can do is run Hiding away will not help Stopping means you're done Then it shall have your pelt The door slams shut Sound leaping off the walls Life Sitting in this room is anything but Yet onwards time still crawls The stink of its breath pervades While those eyes invade It will not stand for being disobeyed Loving the smell of the afraid Closer It draws nigh All one can do All one can do is watch time pass by Just wait Just wait and cry Nothing doing Down to bed I lie Never It shan't overtake Unless help you offer And then your own bed you make Only yourself do you forsake But as it waits, lying next to you All you can hope is that its power you shall take Yield it as a sword Bow down before you shall the hoard To me m'lord To me Closer It draws nigh All one can do All one can do is watch time pass by Just wait Just wait and cry Nothing doing Down to bed I lie Raise your sword proud Shout out to the crowd Raising your voice loud Look at the beast Look at the beast you have cowed ------------------------------------------ My head is spinning And my feet are grinning Walking along the avenue Taking a step Seeing how those before me have lept All I can think to do is put on my baseball cap Kicking at the debris All of it in front of me Eyes peer out the windows, but there's nothing to see Upwards I move on Still I have not gone Worry not, it shall not be long A stairway it is I traverse A stairway to nowhere As nowhere is my place in the universe It's a stairway to nowhere And along this path there's no need to rehearse I swear I've been here before I ask to myself, "What is there more?" A question I quickly ignore Over my shoulder I look To me it is like opening a book This one I gladly shelve away I find myself thinking in rhyme My heartbeat keeping the time Giving myself quite a start when it jumps a line Even with this to excite I do not lose my sight For upwards my eyes still turn A stairway it is I traverse A stairway to nowhere As nowhere is my place in the universe It's a stairway to nowhere And along this path there's no need to rehearse Fire and ice could not hide it away Here such things hold no sway Though fire burns and slip on ice you may The clouds roll in Lightning crashes without, thunder echoes within I do all I can to withhold a grin I step out into the void Why should the unknown I avoid? Nowhere holds possibilities one can not perceive Whereas somewhere you know what you have to receive The darkness so many fear Shall forever more be here A stairway it is I traverse A stairway to nowhere As nowhere is my place in the universe It's a stairway to nowhere And along this path there's no need to rehearse ------------------------------------------ Come To the darkness and brilliant light Forever flashing in and out Distances stretching into the horizon As the unseen take on blocky shape Come Where the socks march in unison A river of cold flows inward Sounds dance across the walls Your skin takes on shape and movement Come Where a thirst grows within Fingers tear off dead flesh Burn runs across you as a path walked Regret cleverly disguises itself as sensation Come To the kingdom of the one who bleeds Holding it in yet bringing it out Strain is the companion of thee The mark of the past has been left Come NOT DO, DO NOT ------------------------------------------ As my eyes close a corridor opens anew Paintings hang on a wall of shimmering light Bearing a striking resemblance to all and none Spiders climb the wall and I feel a sense of urgency Danger approaches In black and white it stalks its prey Walking upright, with a bone club in hand I open a door and stop within. Blood drips from the ceiling yet never hits the floor. The floor of white tiles welcome the mud I bring along on my shoes. Too long has it shone bright. Emptiness presides over this room and I move on. I walk through a door with a face of a clown painted upon it. Flames leap out, as if to grab me. I close the door, backing away I fall, only to be impaled upon a cross Blood flows from my mouth, where words once escaped

Ayshela Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 "where the socks march in unison" i love it!! is that where all the renegade socks go, when they escape from the laundry?
Loki Wyrd Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Posted August 29, 2003 Hehe, I think that must be where they go.
