WITCH

The witch lingers behind the trees
she is unleashing her own disease
her eyes said it all
she wanted me to fall
her deathly glare
was trying to scare
evil lingers here and there
evil is everywhere
my powerful rush was enough
the witch was not strong enough
I won the battle
even after her deathly rattle
the tower came crashing down
It’s time for the witch to drown
she knew I was real
she knew I would kill
her nightly strolls belong with the trolls
this is my fantasy
my wonderland is safe and sound
for she sleeps with the demons now.

FALLEN ANGEL

Wide open spaces.
Here and there, enter the angel’s lair.
Spread your wings.
No one will deny your gift to fly.
Clouds make way.
The angel has gone astray.
Her wings turned black.
She’ll never come back.
Her halo fell from the sky.
Angels cry.
They never got to say goodbye.

ALICE

Darkened nights, filled with frights
Blackened eyes, hidden from the sky
Foggy graveyards, waiting for the dance
The clouds start rolling in,
preparing for the giants disturbing prance
Pity, oh pity you only speak
The victim cries
The victim asks why
The victim dies
Pity oh pity you only speak
Wallow in your own demons
The more you cry
The quicker you’ll die
Pity oh pity you only speak
Spread your soul or watch for ghouls
They, too will drain your soul.
Pity oh pity you only speak.
