Shrubbery the Warlock

shrubbery the warlock
through the valleys rising fog
steaming woods and moss
standing on the mountain top
like a summit cross
you see a figure raise its claws
like a bird of prey
people must have pissed him off
hes in a bad mood indeed!
what is his concern?
what is his name?
shrubbery the warlock
is mad again
they leave their hideous waste around
they crap in forest and stream
bite the feeding hands of mother earth
but they will run and scream!
you say you have no time for this
well,this time ignorance's no bliss!
I'll turn your gold into rats
and turn your shoes into beechnuts so that wild pigs come!

Ancient Light

ancient light
put your hands into mud
my eager friends upheave!
this moldy soil rub in your face
eons to concieve
with their heads in my hands
soon reborn and bred
pile them up, bone by bone
an army of undead
I see an ancient light
I claim this burial site
put your hands into mud
my eager friends upheave!
the moldy soil rub in your face
eons to concieve
with their heads in my hands
soon reborn and bred
pile them up, bone by bone
an army of undead
see them marching through the trees
unearthed, henceforth released

Sleepers Chant

sleeper's chant
a boat floats on the water
floats towards the border
tried by heavy weather
borne by the winds of time

Once I Am King

once i am king
early one morning
we awoke in the grass
like stones we were scattered
we could have been missiles
we could have been a wall
we were awoken
like adams and eves
like puppets on strings
someday our remains will jingle
in the wind
schlufl:
time stands still the world is gone
a frozen ocean an extinct sun
a cosy white light in the hall
I might be there after all
but i hear distant whispers call
a left wing a right wing
the shadow of a bird
that flies/goes over our heads
a giant budgie as big as the world

School of Night

|
|

school of night
great horned owl spin your head
spin your head for me
few hours that i have till dawn
so much i have to see
past the watchdogs past the bridge
i stole myself away
to be all ears and breath and dread
the need to go astray
the blackest hair, the darkest sky
she embraces all
pineal gland found in the pines
a pale beauty's call
ague brings the nightly dew
lovers` oaths of yore
lunacy is a clear path
I'm knocking on her door.
When to our souls we've given peace
all our mourning then shall cease

Cold River

COLD RIVER
a bleeding heart
a cold river
like a stone, sinking
like a fossile bone
end of time - thinking
takes forever
with the mind we die
with the skull we cry
with your teeth - measuring
your remaining time
with my eyes - holding
which was never mine
in a jar - deeply
we can foresee
sweet madness
the shadow of a burning tree
with a face - glaring
into the void
what makes waiting
always hoping
we will die - always
as in ever
with our fate
allways obscured
