Soul of Flames
I sit and watch as the flames lick at the bricks
The red, and orange tipped beauty
The tongues of fury lick
As it burns through the wood and metal preforming its duty
The red hipmotizing, the orange bright
I watch the light fill the black
What a wonderful sight
Bringing the memories back
The house falls to pieces as I sit and stare
My tears falling to the ground
My eyes filled whith the flames glare
My tears fall to the ground without a sound
I sit and watch as the flames lick at the bricks
The red, and orange tipped with beauty
The flames swirl and mix
As I sit in silence intranced with love and lust
The flames so wonderful so bright
The night dark as coal
My eyes filled with stars, with light
The flames licking at my soul

Old Flames Cant Hold A Candle To You
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
Old flames cant hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
Ive known one or two
But old flames cant hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers Ive known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames cant hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
Ive known one or two
But old flames cant hold a candle to you
Old flames cant hold a candle to you
Mmmm...

Fire/Burning
Burning through the forset,
Flames of orange, red and yellow,
Lick at the trees and plants,
Scorching everything in its path,
Fire.
Burning my skin,
Leaving smoke and heat,
In it's wake,
Torching my hair,
Fire
A thing of beauty,
And warmth,
But feasr it also,
For its scorching heat,
Fire.
Burning my heart,
Blood fueling the flames,
Love as its oxygen,
The Burning desire,
Fire.

Siren Of Fire
Fire:
When the water turns to mist
And the flames are rising high
I'll appear to you my darling
To wipe the tears from your eyes
I'll dance around the fire pit
Running wild with the flames
But as soon as the fire is out
I'll leave you without so much as my name
Water:
When water extinguishes the flame
It will also extinguish me
I will leave you to yourself
To soak in memory
When the land is watered down
And you stand beside the sea
Look for the bonfires
For that is where you'll find me
Burned:
Don't play with fire dearest
You know you will be burned
Leave the flames to me my love
They remind me of how I've yearned
For the sensation of my fire
That keeps our passions hot
I'll stay with you until the tide comes in
But after, I cannot
Drowned:
They douse the flames with water
Putting out the light
I drown with the flames
That ensnared you all night
I cannot stay with you now
My flames have been drowned out
But remember whenever you need me
Fire will bring me about

Phoenix
It feels like,
A Phoenix has risen from the flames.
I watch its wings flutter,
But it can't erase,
the pain that its carrying,
as it tries so hard.
It ca't escape the fiery tongues.
I watch them lick,
and consume it.
And theres no trace,
of its struggle left,
except the tears of pain,
that splashed;
sending ripples,
through my veins.

The Worlds On Fire
Theres a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in england
Its a house with a view and all you see is green and blue for miles
The local vicar has pretended that the church is well attended this morning
As he wanders without purpose to the sunday service he smiles
{oh-ho!} what a beautiful morning
{oh-ho!} what a beautiful day
{oh-ho!} what a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it, now were throwing it away
Now, I was told not to play with fire
I said, look out church the flames grow higher
I said, watch those flames lick that spire
I said, look our church the falmes grow higher
{the worlds on fire}
Theres a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in england
Theres a couple misbehabving when they shouldve been praising sunday
And theres a bounce in a walk and the neighbours stop to talk for hours
And when eyebrows are raised at the next song of praise come monday
{oh-ho!} what a beautiful morning
{oh-ho!} what a beautiful day
{oh-ho!} what a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it, now were throwing it away
Now, I was told not to play with fire
I said, look out church the flames grow higher
I said, watch those flames lick that spire
I said, look our church the falmes grow higher
{the worlds on fire}
The worlds on fire!

Bonfire Night
How eager are the children as they look up into the sky,
Reacting to a theatre of sound, colour and light,
A euphoria of expectation, the holding of breath,
The lighting of the bonfire, on top sits the awesome guy,
The igniting in the centre, then the flames that glow so bright,
And in all this heat the guy will meet his death.
The sudden whoosh as the bonfire now takes front stage,
The roaring flames devouring the stack with energy so strong,
Heat growing with each lick from those great feasting tongues,
Crackling, spitting, shooting sparks, turning violent with rage,
A deep orange glow reflected in the faces of the staring throng,
Smoke rising into the hair, the eyes, the nose and then the lungs.
With the fireworks carefully set up, the show can now begin,
With noise from all the pyrotechnics, assailing the ears,
What brilliant hues flash before illuminated lively eyes,
The cheering becomes louder, quickly rising to a din,
Then the cold night enfolds your body as midnight nears,
And the mighty fire, mighty no longer, crumbles and dies.
A pile of ash is all that is left,
The bonfire, guy, fireworks, all are gone,
Like a dream, into your memory.

Schizophrenia
And so I closed my eyes, my soul shielded
They'll never find me through the smoke.
by the darkness. Protected by the warmth
Like a blanket. I should rest here.
of the wildfire that lay before me.
The flames smell of Blood and Hope
The ashes blanketed the ground:
and the ashes float with my footsteps
a ground made from layers of dust
The dust will swallow me.
left by countless fires of the past.
I must find Home.
By flames only quenched by suffocation.
Suffocation! My suffocation!
And I felt the heat of those flames, too.
But Home is hiding from me.
They licked at my fingers, but I ran.
My fingers were frozen. Red and frostbitten
And no matter how fast I ran, they ran
Home will be gone soon. I must find it.
faster. A Labyrinth of flames.
I am lost,
Where my thread was burned and the Minotaur
never to be found:
would never be found, just as I was.
Home destroyed by the flames with me.

King And Queen
(Justin Hayward)
It's like awaking from a dream
All I remember is a lullaby
I couldn't tell you where I've been
A thousand images just flutter by
Takin' my time
In a white limousine
If I was the King
She'd be my Queen
And my thoughts are growing louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher ev'ryday
My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries (And as I watch, she gently cries)
Can there be anyone who'll pity her? (Who'll pity her?)
How many faces
Have all of you been?
If I was the King
She'd be my Queen
And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher ev'ryday
My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries (And as I watch, she gently cries)
Can there be anyone who'll pity her? (Who'll pity her?)
How many faces
Have all of you been?
If I was the King
She'd be my Queen
And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day

Down In Flames
Christians, we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.
We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake up and see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk." and "Shame, shame, shame."
Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake to see we're going down in flames, down in flames.
Christians, we mourn, the thorn is stuck in the side of the body.
Watch it self-destruct.
The enemy is much ignored when we fight this Christian civil war.
We're cannibals, We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake to see we're going down in flames.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Banana na na, na na na.
Let me pause to clarify
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you,
and proudly claim to belong to what this song complains.
I'm part of the problem I confess,
but I got to get this off my chest.
Let's extinguish the anguish for which we're to blame,
and save the world from going down in flames.

Dreams and Shadows
Flames, dreams, candles, shadows,
All dance in sight.
Flames on a far, dim hill, or near,
Close, in the night.
Torches, running in shadows,
Across the dry valley.
Candles nearby, flames alike,
Join in swift memory.
Lost wanderers, walking in realms,
Realms of cold darkness.
Stars fly to us, and dance, on the white,
Cold, flowing stillness.
Flames, and light, leap high, in the far,
Gray, hopeless distance;
On a ridge, hidden away, and dance,
Dance their reckless dance.

Flames
Every man is a flame
God the hands that lights us
Satan the lips that blow the wind that seeks to quench us
Our destiny
To stay aflame
We are all flames
Though from different races
Our mission
To ensure that in our desire
To stay flames
We keep as many flames aflame
Together as flames
Our vision burns brighter
Our mission clearer
And the lips that blow the wind
Will only spread us
Never quench us
As flames
We stay close to the hands that light us
And together we remain aflame

Love in Flames
In the quiet of the night
Before dawns revealing light
Love is flame that lights the sky
She is the only reason why.
She rests safe in night's repose
Flames dance above and below
Out of reach but still in sight
She is the quiet of my night
Breaking dawn becomes the light
Love in flames has taken flight
Lost within the light of day
Morning truth holds love at bay
Bring the quiet of the night
When love's bright fire is my light
In Flames
Behold the heart of mine in flames
A top the highest mountain
Below the darkest depths
In the valley of hate I wander
My frost bitten heart is set ablaze, set ablaze
Ravage my soul
Plunder my mind
Branded by thunder, fire and ice
Trampled in fury by hordes of the light
I am crushed by the hand of my sky
My sky has forsaken me
Rivers of crimson lead me now
Trail of fire
In a place of fire ethernal
Left in flames
Scattered in a world of thorns
Torn from my earthly self
Aggreived in tears and bitterness
I fall beyond stars, beyond stars
Ravage my soul
Plunder my mind
Branded by thunder, fire and ice
Trampled in fury by hordes of the light
My firey heart is stronger than ever
It's stronger than ever before
My heart in flames

War and Hell
Did you honestly think that you was going
to get away with deceiving him?
The only one who placed lovely plants outside your door,
and make the stars shine all night long.
Do you really believe this world is yours and yours alone?
Well, he'll show you.
Now it's War.
Watch the flames erupt
Sizzle from under your feet
War and Hell.
Watch the flames erupt
The desert sun beams to add more heat
Crawlin' on sand
No water and no pails
Coughing and soar
War and Hell
War and Hell.
Do you wish you was better?
Do you wish you was on his side?
Do you wish you was a believer?
Do you wish he was a liar?
Now it's War.
Watch the flames erupt
Sizzle from under your feet
War and Hell.
Watch the flames erupt
The desert sun beams to add more heat
Crawlin' on sand
No water and no pails
Coughing and soar.
War and Hell
War and Hell
War and Hell
War and Hell
AHHH! !
(While I was trying to write this poem, I was thinking about Sinead O'Connor and how she writes the lyrics to her music-very biblical. I used her as my muse ansd inspiration. In this poem i wanted it to sound powerful but too draggy. The illustration tells the story of Jeremiah in The Old Testament, about him trying to talk to the Israelites and all the sinners to give their lives up for Christ) .

Going Down In Flames
Dont tell me what to think
Cause I dont care this time
Dont tell me what you believe
Cause you wont be there
To catch me when I fall
But youll need me when Im not here at all
Miss me when Im gone again, yeah
Im going down in flames
Im falling into this again, yeah
Im going down in flames
Im falling into this again
Dont tell me how life is
Cause I dont really dont want to know
Dont tell me how this game ends
Cause well just see how it goes
Catch me when I fall
Or youll need me when Im not here at all
Miss me when Im gone again, yeah
Im going down in flames
Im falling into this again, yeah
Im going down in flames
Im falling into this again, yeah
Now, Im all the way down here

Now, Im all the way down here
Im falling
All the way
All the way down here
Im falling down again now Im falling down

All My Bridges Are Burning
Jimmy goes through money like a millionaire
Bills pile up around him but he doesn't care
Picks up his best friend at the local secene
Wraps it up in the corner of a magazine
CHORUS
All Night - God he hates to be lonely
Day light - Hasn't seen any sun in 3 days
Know why - Every time he comes down
You can hear him say
Ooh, all my bridges are burning
Watch them go down in flames
Can't even remember my name
All my bridges are burning, oh yeah
Jimmy treats every night like a holiday
Makes a friend or two, but they never stay
Taking care of number one
Is his point of view
And if you keep him high
He'll be friends with you
CHORUS
Wipe that sweat from your lip
Take a look around you get hip
Looking in from outside
You're slowly watching yourself let you die
Ooh, all my bridges are burning
Watch them go down in flames
I can't even remember my name
All my bridges are burning
(All my bridges are burning)
I watch them go down in flames
I can't even remember my name
All my bridges are burning, oh yeah

Summer Night
Sparks flying into the dark midnight sky,
Up in the sky so far away,
Soon disappearing in the cool night breeze,
Watching the marshmallow slowly turn into a fire ball,
Sounds of the wild life,
So peaceful yet quite scary,
Finally feeling alone,
You can surely do anything,
Pitch blackness surrounding me except for the orange flames ahead,
Snap, crackle, pop,
While the flames rise and the fire roars,
Sound never seems to fade away,
Mind cleared,
Feeling free,
Looking up at the shining stars,
Thinking everything so perfect,
Though in the back of my mind,
I'm wishing you were here holding me on this beautiful summer night

Burning With Optimisms Flames
Never seen her glowing
All that bright shes throwing
Like some aurora
From her head its growing
Reaching to the ground and all around
Like a navajo blanket
Never heard her singing
Now shes gently ringing
Like copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her cheshire cousin
She claims shes found a way to make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night
She says shes burning with optimisms flames, away away
She says shes burning up all her guilts and shames, away away
She says shes burning with optimisms flames, away away
She says shes burning up
Now you see Im smiling
Back to juvenileing
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger
I cant stop this grinning
So assume Im winning
Threw pessimism
In the air its spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away with sweets
And shiny things just like a magpie
Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me
Now every closing door just fans the flames some more
(now Im thinking okay)
(Im turning night into day)

Goodbye x
As I watch the old house burn
with those feirce flames
my heart begins to pound like thunder
Screams passing threw my ears, my head
What have I done? !
I catch one more glimps
Then I ran
I ran as fast as my legs could go worried of followers, witnesses
I didnt think
I didnt know
I was Scared, Frightened! !
Turning around slowly, i see my childhood appear
Me running to the neighbours house
this is where my parents were murdered
and now i have just committed the same crime
The massive flames caught in my eye as i watch it burn
I wanted to die
I dropped
Laying there for two minutes
screaming still going threw my head
I slowly stand up
Pacing towards the house thinking, wondering
step by step i thought
then i ran in faster then the speed of light
I went
I went in the house of flames
I carried out 3 people then went back in
I searched and scanned all the room
My clothes on fire
Then i sat down quietly
i stayed there until my life was taken
Two seconds before a roar louder then a pack of lions
was my way of saying
GoodBye x

Do You Want To See The Bed In Flames?
(Translation To: Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen?)
Do you want to see the bed in flames
do you want to perish in skin and hair
you want to stick the dagger in the sheet as well
you want to also lick the blood from the dagger

You see the crosses on the pillow
You mean the innocence may kiss you
You believe it would be hard to kill
But where are all of the dead coming from

Sex is a battle
Love is war
Do you want to see the bed in flames
do you want to perish in skin and hair
you want to stick the dagger in the sheet as well
you want to also lick the blood from the dagger
