  • To War! (Universal Tyranny)

    In unseen realms of time and space There lies a dark and different place A place of wonder, so fantastic Under yoke of lords galactic Planets crumble, planets shake These lords of greed, they only take A universal tyranny Where none can truly be called free But in the tunnels, in the caves Men and…

    The fighting raged for four full days I saw men die in different ways I never saw barbarity Now it’s staring straight at me I’ve seen them choke, I’ve seen them die I’ve heard them for their mothers cry I’ve seen them dying in the fields The violence here, it never yields I’ve seen men…

    After dark I roam these halls My footsteps echo off the walls I revel in my solitude The darkness it reflects my mood I feel alive when moon is full I’m basking in the Autumn cool The silence where I find my peace A place where time and tide do cease From this place I…

    Is there more to their existence? Lives extinguished in an instant In the cosmos where I reign There is never doubt or pain Yet, I watch them down below What they’re doing they don’t know They hurtle quick to their demise This as sure as suns will rise How I wish that I could show…

    Mother Moon is watching us In her ways we can but trust Bewitching with her energy Spirits bound or spirits free Her whims we are but subject to We may deny but know it’s true On lunar waves we merely ride And trust that she is on our side Is she your friend, is she…

    I sit up here on Asgard high For knowledge I gave up an eye I sacrificed unto myself I threw upon my spear itself I hanged myself in Yggdrasil Nine days and nights to have my fill For knowledge I gave everything I sit upon this throne your king © The Beginning At Last

  • To Sharpen the Blade Once More (12.1)

    Excerpt from the journal of Korv the Barbarian. Is this all there is to life? Stagnation cutting like a knife Has the blade become this dull? Into a stupor I’ve been lulled Once was meant for greater things To fly upon immortal wings Now I merely mark my days While boredom works it’s evil ways…

    Ten year sentence. You didn’t break me. Beatings with nightsticks. You didn’t break me. One stinking hour in the yard. You didn’t break me. The weight pile. You didn’t break me. Sleep deprived. You didn’t break me. Solitary. You didn’t break me. Thousands of pushups. You didn’t break me. Alone with nothing but my thoughts.…

    Sometimes a man must walk alone Sometimes into the great unknown Sometimes he stands for what is right Sometimes alone he has to fight Sometimes he walks a lonely path Sometimes he faces nature’s wrath Sometimes the battles are not won Sometimes the battle’s never done Sometimes he fights for fame and wealth Sometimes he…

    I roam the hallways of my mind Seeking solace I won’t find The days they pass and feel like years I search for laughter in the tears I feel the silence crushing me A burden whence I can’t break free I walk with naught but hate and fear You pass like I was never here…

    Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday! We’re now halfway through the month and the time it is a’flyin’ by! Hard to believe that next month the days start gradually getting shorter again. I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t mind that one bit. Anyhow, enough of that. Last…

    Amidst the chaos and the din I search for comfort deep within While a storm may rage without A whisper born within a shout A place of center, calm and peace Where all my worries I release I send them to another plane And free myself from strife and pain A soothing breeze, a feeling…

    As the darkness comes alive And the sun begins to fall He awakens from his slumber As he roams these hallowed halls For the hour is upon him For the hunt he must prepare He knows well that she is waiting Her sacred scent is in the air She’s elusive and beguiling Moving naked ‘cross…

    Up above here in the clouds Far above the din so loud A clarity of calm and peace A purity of sweet release No coming, going, to and fro Life up here, a gentle flow All senses free, it’s almost zen Releasing thoughts of where and when There is no pain, no that or this…

    In evening dark the storm clouds rise The shift it comes before my eyes A fleeting glimpse as light turns dark A thunder god shall leave his mark Upon the earth with heavy rains Soaked in fury, drenched in pain A battle wages from on high Away from mortals, in the sky A battle we…

    Clearest sky on darkest night I let my mind and soul take flight Detaching from this mortal coil Among the shadows, walk the soil My body grounded, spirit free It’s just the night alone with me I revel in the evening mood I truly love this solitude To none I answer, only me When I’m…

    Connected by a force unseen Wonder what it all could mean In many forms and many ways Feelings with us all our days A first encounter, second glance Is it fate or is it chance? Watching life move down the street A taste of coffee, sugar sweet Is it really intertwined? Or just a product…

    Awash in this insanity I feel alive, I feel so free A paradise consumed in blood You’re drowning in the crimson flood The lava coursing through your veins I find my pleasure in your pain Feel it scorching deep within Pay the penance for your sin Your screams are music to my ears I dine…

    Here within the deepest night Here is where my mind takes flight Kaleidoscope of painted dreams Nothing’s ever what it seems And yet a hint of clarity As from these shackles I am free Free to choose and free to find Deepest recess of the mind Alive until the morning light Found comfort in the…
