The stranger has no face, no soul,
Shadows cast a dark spell upon his fate of
Mystery’s sleuth (only whispers dare tell)
Urban legends are made of this…
Naked bodies curled together in a daydream
Let the needle lull perverted demons within.
Bury virginity six feet deep - welcome the whore inside;
Drive to the end of the turnpike and head straight to hell!
Concrete sidewalks burn flesh to bone,
Blood drip drops from each shady rooftop
Colourless tears fall without sound or echo,
Silently death lures behind umbrageous corners
As the mist sets in, river glistens in moonlight
What mysteries have yet to be discovered?
Blistering furnace fire rustles soothingly
Urban legend, never spoken - never seen
Disease spreads with carrion winds and
Cold white steel touches skin. Knife-edge
Penetrates the heart of eve’s destruction.
Senseless violence makes sense in-sanity.
Take a deep breath - cling to the blade,
Show no fear, cross one more bridge,
Stay alive - breathe - one priority to treasure: Kill
Devils (but the one inside) nurture him with hatred.
Modern life at the bottom of the barrel:
The unwanted, dirty and sick, they recognise
Poverty’s strange achromatic reflection; reality’s
Blackness is no stranger in these urban dungeons
Hear them call out my name
Inviting me to play a game
Of hide and seek,
From me.
In the dark as I stand
They take me by the hand,
And I cannot see
Who’s holding me.
They lead me to a place,
Where the people have no face.
And I stand there alone
As they come and go.
I hear them whisper words
I’ve never heard before.
And I still cannot see
Who’s surrounding me.
But as my mind’s becoming clear,
I understand what’s fake or real.
The voices disappear
And nothing now I hear.
I’ve understood what’s done and said
And what has happened in my head.
It’s the voices come to me
To keep me company.
