grey cap head on a bird like a banner
black back plume & the crest of the manor
Queenly & feline with talons and scepter -
Throne of a tree or a nest full of Scree in the
morning! Mewing & warm in the balm of your song
on the Breeze of the late-spring:
CAT-BIRD!
You are like the prize of my sight! Ah,
teach me laws & choose me to Knight!

O' Galadriel!

You bring me to your mirror - what to see?
To see false dreams or see what's come to be?
I see myself unworthy to Atone -
I turn away & turn my heart to stone!
Galadriel! Ah,
You cannot seek a mirror for to prove:
You'll see yourself but Not the one you Love!
I see my fear like me will search for truth,
but Truth alone needs Not of fear for Proof -
Galadriel! Ah... You walk across the land Unto the
Sea, to flee the middle earth Eternally,
To carry forth the tales of Mice & men -
& never to this realm Return Again:
Galadriel!
You walk across the land unto the sea...

you sing about the devil like a friend with ease!
But I'm telling you: don't fuck around & shoot the breeze -
PLEASE...
You might think that it's cool but pain is my disease!
I was violated:
Blades of purple nazgul sleaze!
Death: I want it! Death: I WANT IT!
No, no no no!
Cast me meals of carnal sin you've wanton wrought,
forcing me to Grovel like a Christ for NAUGHT -
YOU FUCKING BITCH!
... a sexual servant: no more!
I may be Poisoned, but I still have my will...
kill... kill... Kill... Kill... KILL, KILL, KILL! KILL! KILL!

Song for Fangorn
02:31
|
|||
|
ent of eld, I am the land
hastily name thy command:
I will Reply in my Tongue,
slow but Wise: hear it be Sung
centuries pass & I'll say: Naught
but a Need can Portray,
Fastness is Roots in the hills,
memory: Spare me from Fools...

Music for me, diving I'm free:
tunnel soft & Narrow -
One way out: same way in, casting
Naught a shadow!
I'm something, yes...
Spades & cheese, hide &
not Seek - meet me past the barrows
Wight or a bitch, man of a WITCH -
fleeting flock of sparrows...
Some cannot see, most
will not see, Leopard grinning cipher!
Dionysos: Hell of a host,
Heaven's fearful tyger! Call
me your name, casting lost blame:
I don't need a body! Mind on a pole,
dream with a role: eucharist for Rotting...
Fastness formless, I'm trans
but not long for charades! Binary code
computes but cannot re-semble my maths,
No, no, no... D - T - S!

... you think you run the Night!
but you Depend on candlelight,
Stopping dead in your Tracks -
turn around, yelp “what’s that?!”
I said I like it that way, I said I like it
that way, cause
I've got skin like the devil, and teeth
like a BAT! Ah,
I said it’s ME who runs the Night!
my black eyes Never need a light...
when it’s too late you’ll Obey
As cold fangs Seize your last delay!
I said I like it that way!
Skin like the devil; and Teeth like a bat!

tattoos on midnight, seemed like a short flight...
Dancing, through the month of May:
you said that Love was here to Stay,
but what if I don't believe you?
Pain is just a mark on the body...
If all is fair in love & War, I pray
you Rust on me no more!
Pain is just a mark on the body:
I try to walk but sometimes I'm Sorry!
pain is Just a mark!
... I am young, I need Some- one who still
Believes in simple things, that Mother nature
brings! Always busy; always needing somewhere
left to Go & there's nowhere to Go, where
honest feelings show! La la la la la...

That hades lust, could steal from me my only gift -
I weep alone, and harvest time it starts to Shift!
once verdant fields, assume the mantle of the Grim...
swim through the Rivers beneath me to find:
my daughter with black wounds for eyes!
drugged and delirious - drooling in SILK -
eternal summer Thus desist!
THE BIRTH OF WINTER...

Come at will, Leave when you May
Meddle not in the Affairs of Wizards - lest
you Wish, to be Wise! It's a burden...
with a weight Unknown, depends on how
Far you see, Keenly!
DRAWN LIKE MEAT! KHAZAD DUM!
You can Not Pass! You cannot PASS! Unchanged!
Sire of Shadowfax: you lead like Ents. & I shall
cast along, pregnant as a Winter Storm. Our fellowship
may break, but it is not our task, to choose...
What shall be done with our summons: we'll do.
