GOD KILLER
DEAD ARE ALL
THE GODS:
NOW DO WE
DESIRE THE OVERMAN TO LIVE.'
~ Thus Spoke
Zarathustra
Part
I, Section XXII,3
Give me
The sword
So that I
May find and
Strike down
All your
false
Deities,
your
Ridiculous
tales of
A Christian
God
That was
made
Up long
centuries ago
By weak
&
Frightened
men
And the name
of
That sword
is
Truth
It's time
To rid
ourselves
Of these
useless
Children's
stories
And
create
The birth of
New ones to
Make a
better
More
peaceful
World
FUCKING GHOSTS
Sometimes
Memory
Time
Will betray
you
You awake
From a dream
To find
yourself
Alone even
if
You are not
Years have
Passed like
the
Ashes in
their
Wake
And you are
just
Another old
man
Feeling
& remembering
It all
As love
I AM
I am
just the messenger in a world
of unbelief
I am a
transgressor of the law
In this time
of legalized lawlessness
&
disbelief .
I am the
word & the word is dead
I am the
truth and the truth has
been hidden.
I am the
writing, erased from the wall
I am the
alchemist
The sage
lost in an unconscious world
I am
I am
I am
Still
The words
&
The nothing
At all
ARDANES
Note:
The laws
Rules
of
Magic simply
Don't exist
Unless
you
Offer the
Gods
Free cookies
And if they
Want
more
Cookies then
They're
demons
THE PROPHETS OF DOOM
Every
new
Prophet of
doom
Sits in
their
Lawn
chair
Contemplating
Too soon the
Demise of me
& The
demise
Of you as
they drink
Another lite
beer
Are we
all
Just
pessimists
Now ?
Soothsayers
And
depressed
Ventriloquists
giving
The
consciousness a voice?
Trembling at
the
Very mention
of
Love, peace
or
Soul masquerading
As human
beings
Wearing a
frown
And too much
Black?
Dystopia
Sounds too
Cool for
words
And the
prophets
Of doom are
Now all
once
Again bored
Spring is
here
