A Message in June (1976)

Last night a silent wind changed its direction
And a glowing moon was extinguished by an ominous cloud
Memories of the day became an evening reflection
Of a dark landscape blanketed in a blackened shroud

The air became listless and still
And skies were cold and forbidden
The world belonged to another's will
That remained silent, sheltered and hidden

Quiet conversation in a stranger's room
Confirming the mysteries of long before
On the morning of the sixth in early June
Two people discuss a demon's lore

Like a servant's agreement to his king
One listens to his attractive dark friend
His voice like that a seducer would sing
Who has a wonderful message to send 

It speaks of lies that cajole our mind
And dreams of death that soon will come
It's in a dark room two people find
That friendship is a price to pay for some

Morning is observed in the brightness of the sky
One person stands and  then the other exits the room
A short and secret morning is about to die
And with it a slow death envelopes this month of June 

Now together two people must understand
That it is necessary to forget the past
Begin a new life and undivided stand
Among the people a shadow is cast

The Dead Are Impassive (1976)

If you are seduced to floors of gold
By strangers that possess your emotions
Then those that take your precious soul
Can captivate all inner devotions

You have forgotten the morals of life
To be with a lewd spirit of the night
That stabs you in the back with a knife
Ending the survival for which you fight

Then helplessly fall to the demon who awaits you
To gratify his feelings of wantonness forever
And this you cannot resist and undoubtedly do
Or else drown in the tears of a painful river  


Repentance (1977)

A silent snow blankets the ground
Where once you sat in meditative thought
And have you heard a distracting sound
That your unrivaled attention has caught

Or have you let it pass you by
To continue in the way you know is wrong
Teachers who follow soon to die
The era of dismay has been too long

Do you wish to live with the false kings
That garment their countenances with captivation
Jewels and trinkets that only fraud brings
To comfort you and to arouse fascination

And when the time comes to kneel and pray
Beg and ask for the mercy of your soul
To no avail you ask every night and day
Because now it is you that they loathe

But only fools stay where they must not remain
And so make your decision of falsification
That which you must do and state the claim
To fall down below your gods in damnation


An Understanding (1975)

As I walk in lowered motions
Praying to the gods I fear
Living on my patterned devotions
Contradictions are all I hear

Asking forgiveness for what is not wrong
And unable to see anything right
Something evil that is to be prolonged
In totally void and descriptive light
 
Must I bow my head and praise
The god I flatter with my lies
And if his spirit I do raise
Do others raise him to the skies

In his eyes abound enormous captivation
Something too beautiful to understand
And if I am to create a new nation
I must do it under his trusted hand

Perspective View (1977)

Have you seen the person and his friend
Who actually pretend to not be there
And greetings you hold but never send
To show him that you do not care

He has been standing on the wood
That is now dead and will not grow
And looking to where you once stood
Because there is something he must know

Curiosity has enveloped his mind
Holding the secret he will kill you for
And if that secret he should find
Your life is lost in forgotten lore

Let him take your pride and friend's face
And if captivated by what you see
Make the mistake that shall plague your race
Forever and until the end of eternity

Do not look back on what you have done
It is finished and shall never happen again
If you thought the ordeal was a lot of fun
Then there are places you have never been

See it in your own special way
And depict the memories in your mind
To see what they have to say
Maybe a hidden truth you will find

When everything is finished and complete
Walk away and forget all that touched you
The finger of evil has made its retreat
Now look at life from a perspective view
