When the tide rolled in there was nothing left,
But an albatross hanging from my neck.
And just as you could not contain the sea,
You could not contain me.

( - Foxing, 'Bloodhound')

Ascension (Interlude)

dream i of a changing world while sleeping,
born from ash, the barrel of a gun,
but until that comes, i say while weeping -
there's no place for us beneath the sun.

( - Naktigonis, 'Yearning')

Pelagic Slumber

STAR-SWEPT INSOMNIA
SKY-SUNDERED SLEEP
MIND-ADDLING MANIA
HARROWING DEEP

( - Naktigonis)
-----

For what are space and time but the inventions
Of sorrowing men? The soul goes faster than light.
Eating the moon alive, it leaves space and time behind.

( - Donald Revell, 'Death')

What Mends Shall Fray

harvested, refined,
the old cacophony's denied -
and now the
orchestra of chaos
plays victoriously a tune most sprightly.

( - Naktigonis, 'Lullaby of Chaos')

A Symphony Of Strife

The other night I had a dream, you came to me or so it seemed
On a zeppelin made of crystal, made of glass.
Upon a steam calliope you sat and played a song for me,
A shanti from a vagrant midnight mass.

Oh, we puffed a pipe of turkish moss and set course for the albatross,
A sea of silver prophets on the wing.
And through the captain's telescope, you gazed and blew a ring of smoke,
And then we bade farewell unto the spring...

( - Vagabond Opera, 'Red Balloon')

Of Chitin, Kith And Kin

And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

( - Percy Bysshe Shelley, 'Ozymandias')

In Starstruck Sands

And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

( - William Shakespeare, 'Julius Caesar', Act III, Scene I)

Cry 'Havoc!'

The winter breeze begins to blow,
It carries gently falling snow.
The first of many winter moons
Shines brightly as the card'nal croons.
The charming bird now sings alone
A lullaby for snow and stone.

( - Naktigonis, 'A Snowy Night / All Was Well')

A Waltz Of Snow And Knights

If gunpowder's what you're looking for,
We've plenty for all to spare!
Enough for all to sell and trade,
Or be perhaps unmade -
Be careful with what you're looking for!

Don't make the mistake of crossing us -
It will be your last, for sure!
We're one for all, and all for one,
The barrel of a gun -
No soul will be ever jostling us!

( - Naktigonis, 'The Summer Company Song')

One For All, All For Gun

We're workers of Summer Company,
That fortress of smoke and steel!
For guns we forge and bullets make,
Leave fire in our wake -
We work for the Summer Company!

The Isle of Summer marks our home -
Our fortress of smoke and steel!
The bellows roar and anvils ring,
We serve no lord or king -
Except for the isle that marks our home!

( - Naktigonis, 'The Summer Company Song')

Of Smoke And Steel

the field-mouse at the falcon ruby-eyed shall leap
and tear with claws apart its feathers and its wings,

the stray gazelle, wild-eyed and fanged, shall hunt its fear-elected king -
the dread-maned lion, - in a petty feast;

the rabbit now shall turn to beast,
blood-starved, with fire in its eyes,
it stalks the fox, in wait of time to strike.

( - Naktigonis - 'Our Book')
