We used to burn on the wires

Laughed and shared our desires

As we planned our empires

Then our flames turned us to dust

And the lies destroyed our trust

Death by a thousand cuts

When we called each other’s bluff 

And our blood began to rush

as the lies destroyed our love

Death by a thousand cuts


Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

And we’ll never know 

Who runs this show

People vanish

and this bird has flown

We don’t know how this story goes 

coz nobody, nobody’s home


Uh oh we’ll never know

Uh oh we’ll never know

Where did the people go

Uh oh we’ll never know


Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

We don’t know how this story goes 

coz nobody, nobody’s home


We used to set all the fires

We made love and conspired

It’s the dawn of the liars

Coz the cunning broke our hearts

As deceit twisted our thoughts

Death by a thousand cuts

When our lives became corrupt

Our imaginary luck 

as deceit twisted our love

Death by a thousand cuts


Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

And we’ll never know 

Who runs this show


People vanish

and this bird has flown

We don’t know how this story goes 

coz nobody, nobody’s home


Uh oh we’ll never know

Uh oh we’ll never know

Where did the people go

Uh oh we’ll never know


Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

We don’t know how this story goes 

Coz uh oh we'll never know



You know I’ve never felt this way

So into you and I’m feelin the same

That’s all I wanted to know 

Come on girl I’ll never leave you alone

So what did you do last night?

I was alone but you were on my mind

Really? That’s not what I heard

Come on baby I’m a man of my word



Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

And we’ll never know 

Who runs this show


People vanish

and this bird has flown

We don’t know how this story goes 

coz nobody, nobody’s home


Uh oh we’ll never know

Uh oh we’ll never know

Where did the people go

Uh oh we’ll never know


Words are changing

Talk is oh so cold

We don’t know how this story goes 

coz nobody, nobody’s home

LAWFUL NEUTRAL

she was crawling across the kitchen floor 
I was sleeping dreaming of the war 
harpys singing 
she don’t know the song, no 
and I saw the sorry scribble in surprise 
she was wrong in trying to be right 
she was lawful to be neutral unaware that she was evil unaligned 
malefactor 
ally to herself 
roguish actor 
plus 10 to her stealth 
nothing missing that she couldn’t bear 
set traps for rigging 
and I saw the sorry scribbles in surprise 
she was wrong in trying to be right 
she was lawful to be neutral unaware that she was evil unaligned

Lawful Neutral

CONSTITUTION

to bravely attack the wight 
to lose oneʼs head but not to lose the fight 
my baby, she wait at home 
a trusted warlord delivers my bones 
she take my remains to the local priests 
she offers silver and fall to her knees, pleading 
she loves me 
she loves me so 
wonʼt let me go 
and I awake whole again 
lit by the soft warmth of the bedroom window where within 
she and I lie so peacefully 
I once was dead 
now I am not 
what is happening? 
Baphomet, the Horned King, 
a stubborn goat ainʼt got nothing on me 
gotta get loot 
gonna get paid 
gotta skill up 
gonna come back if i get killed today 
my baby, she wait for proof 
her constitution going through the roof 
the minotaur can be a bullish breed 
but they grow weary when they start to bleed 
not me 
oh Wee Jas 
I pray on you to brace my lover for my loss 
she couldnʼt know that loving me would have such costs 
she didn't know to think such thoughts 
she couldnʼt know her heart would be in knots 
oh, my little Jasidin 
as selfless as she wanna be 
sheʼs scooping up whatʼs left of me 
and I awake whole again 
lit by the soft warmth of the bedroom window where within 
she and I lie so peacefully 
I once was dead 
now I am not 
what is happening?

Constitution

PROPHETIC HEART

itʼs been two days, weʼre in love 
she fits me like a +2 glove 
how could i tell her at the start? 
my blood's pumping through a prophetic heart 
itʼs been two weeks carrying on 
she left her sister with her mother and she quit her job 
how could I tell her at the start? 
my blood's pumping through a prophetic heart 
and when we go down to the river for a summery day 
I already know everything that sheʼs gonna say 
but I play pretend 
my nodding never ends 
oh, raven queen remove from me the gift you gave 
no more prophecy 
itʼs been one year since we met 
sheʼs with child, I regret 
how could I tell her? 
no black art could compel my prophetic heart

Prophetic Heart

YEENOGHU

Yeenoghu, destroyer 
destroy me for turning from you 
a maiden, a beauty, 
a love no abyss could undo 
oh master of mine, 
please give me a sign 
oh grant me the strength 
to go into town and steal the one that I love away 
oh Yeenoghu 
I want her so badly 
her magic I cannot resist 
I have to be with her 
to have her is my only wish 
oh master of mine, 
please give me a sign 
oh grant me the strength 
to go into town and steal the one that I love away 
oh Yeenoghu 
and her bitter blessings blow my heart away 
I'm at your feet, on my knees I pray 
for a favor from you 
Lord Yeenoghu 
I tremble 
I whimper 
I fumble 
I lose my mind 
my words have no meaning 
I need her, she will be mine 
oh master I plead 
please fulfill my need 
or grant me the strength 
to go into town and steal the one that I love away 
oh Yeenoghu

Yeenoghu

SHAPESHIFTER

oh, ehlonna 
I don’t know what I should do 
I don’t know my own heart 
I don’t fit in my skin 
I feel so askew 
she says she loves me 
why she asking me to change 
in familiar form 
into size not my own 
into a beastly shape 
I was the raven who scouted her skies 
(she feel my blackened feather) 
finding her flowers with my nimble eyes 
(we look so good together) 
but when I changed back I gave her such a fright 
I was once her shapeshifter 
but I won’t be tonight 
give me the wisdom to know what I can’t understand 
why my own lover don’t love me when I’m my own man 
why I’m coerced to become 
a companion 
ehlenestra, 
hope you hear my sylvan song 
I’ve been sleeping inside 
I’ve been burning the earth 
to make myself feel right 
and I was the raven who scouted her skies 
(she feel my blackened feather) 
feeding her berries and cawing my lies 
(we look so good together) 
but when I changed back I gave her such a fright 
I was once her shapeshifter 
but I won’t be tonight

Shapeshifter

HOLD ONTO US

we had set out 
packed all our clothes and things, 
adorned with rings, alive with life, 
to a place by the sea. 
you’d had a dream 
said there were “places to go” 
places to go 
places to go within reach 
so we set astride, 
with the compass my father had with him the day that he died 
with a feeling inside us there was nothing to fear 
as long as we hold onto us 
the future is clear 
the place that we found 
a little different for me 
A difference for me 
indifferent to me 
indifferent to everyone 
but that’s how it goes 
living in foreign lands 
customs and rituals 
I don’t know 
I won’t know 
I can’t know 
so I won’t 
but we said okay, 
we’ll stay until Sehanine Moonbow steals us away 
we won’t run home because there is nothing to fear 
as long as we hold onto us 
the future is clear

Hold Onto Us

OH IO

home for the day 
I wouldn’t know it 
home doesn’t feel the same as it once did 
home is a place 
far from the current 
far from my heart 
it doesn’t lie anywhere but where my baby’s gone. 
home is where my lover is 
though she currently ain’t telling 
home is where she rests her head 
even with a different fellow 
home is where her body lies 
not that I am even asking. 
home is where I’ll only be if I used the Orb of Seeing 
oh, leave your lover unseen 
leave her memory clean
