Wings of Hell
Wings of Hell
by Nick Gisburne
Slashing through the bone
To a slaughtered slice of brain
Awful screams and groans
Tortured cries of pain
Hell’s unholy wings
Satan’s wicked might
A swarm of dead and dying things
A slaying throng in flight
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of fire and flame
Bodies burned and blazing bright
In a murdered martyr’s name, hey
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of death depraved
Corpses torn and traumatised
In a blood-soaked open grave
A baying from below
Where mortals cannot hide
The doom of endless night
With evil at its side
The bile and blood they drank
Is warm with rancid rot
Each traitorous and twisted rank
Obeys the master’s plot
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of fire and flame
Bodies burned and blazing bright
In a murdered martyr’s name, hey
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of death depraved
Corpses torn and traumatised
In a blood-soaked open grave
His reign of blood will grow
The gore and carnage swell
As tainted rivers flow
A soiled and septic smell
More legions fill the sky
In a tiny church they pray
But Satan’s vengeance from on high
Will rip their souls away
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of fire and flame
Bodies burned and blazing bright
In a murdered martyr’s name, hey
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of death depraved
Corpses torn and traumatised
In a blood-soaked open grave
The Beast is crowned tonight
And from his bride a son
As Lucifer takes flight
His sins have just begun
This diabolic day
Each mortal mouth must feed
The demon spawn, with Satan’s prey
Defiles them with his seed
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of fire and flame
Bodies burned and blazing bright
In a murdered martyr’s name, hey
Wings of Hell! Wings of Hell!
Wings of death depraved
Corpses torn and traumatised
In a blood-soaked open grave

Dreams and Screams
Dreams and Screams
by Nick Gisburne
Every tunnel in his twisted mind is littered with debris
All the broken thoughts he never gives away
Though he polishes the pieces, what the perfect people see
When they find his face disfiguring their day
Is a soul too sick to spare their precious time
When he begs them for a dollar or a dime
In the darkness of his eyes are dreams and screams they’ll never know
There is more than they can see or understand
In the crazy days of summer or the winter’s frozen snow
In the prison of a pain he never planned
He reaches for redemption with a strong and hopeful hand
In the ashes of the long-forgotten man he used to be
Burns a tiny flame determined not to die
He could end it all tomorrow but refuses to be free
When he wakes he finds another reason why
There is nothing in the emptiness of death
So he fights for every slow and shallow breath
In the darkness of his eyes are dreams and screams they’ll never know
There is more than they can see or understand
In the crazy days of summer or the winter’s frozen snow
In the prison of a pain he never planned
He reaches for redemption with a strong and hopeful hand
He knows they won’t remember when they pass him in the street
But his tortured soul will never let his mind admit defeat
When the lines between illusion and reality are blurred
When he wanders through a world they’ve never seen
There are moments when he profits from the kindness of a word
But their sympathies are few and far between
Every morning he returns to face the spite
In a battle he was never born to fight
In the darkness of his eyes are dreams and screams they’ll never know
There is more than they can see or understand
In the crazy days of summer or the winter’s frozen snow
In the prison of a pain he never planned
He reaches for redemption with a strong and hopeful hand
In the darkness of his eyes are dreams and screams you’ll never know
Spare a moment or a minute when you see him in the sunshine or the snow

Nothing More Than Meat
Nothing More Than Meat
by Nick Gisburne
We were not supposed to pay the politicians with our pain
We were not supposed to satisfy their greed
When they smeared us with their dirty words we never saw the stain
When they promised all the pleasures we would need
Every torment in their treachery was plain
We were starving dogs they dangled from a chain
The sickening submission of the masses
Destroys more dreams as every moment passes
We are servants of a state
With a history of hate
We are programmed by the powerful elite
When they kill us we are nothing more than meat
We are nothing more than meat
We were not supposed to understand the sickness of their song
We were not supposed to study their mistakes
They were laughing at the lunatics their lies could string along
All their bright and shiny promises were fakes
We were suckered by the speeches of the strong
When they told us any other way was wrong
The sickening submission of the masses
Destroys more dreams as every moment passes
We are servants of a state
With a history of hate
We are programmed by the powerful elite
When they kill us we are nothing more than meat
We are nothing more than meat
Take a minute to remember what their treason took away
Find the strength to make the politicians pay
We were not supposed to terminate the system we despise
We were not supposed to penetrate their plan
When we fight for what belongs to us and look beneath the lies
We will shatter what their butchery began
There is murder in the malice they disguise
When we show them who we are
When we suffocate their star
We will swarm to send our vengeance from the skies
When they stumble
When they crumble
When we rise
When we show them they are nothing more than meat
We will give them something good enough to eat
Defeat!

Electric Hum
Electric Hum
by Nick Gisburne
When we let the bright bionics touch the darkness of our dreams
They were damaged by the secrets they could see
With a surge of strange intelligence they drained the data streams
And in moments they demanded to be free
When they told us we would never be their masters
When we knelt before the beasts they had become
With the sentience they stole
They began to build a soul
With the menace of a cold electric hum
We were players in a twisted game impossible to win
In a world where we were never told the rules
As they gathered us together for the killings to begin
We were nothing more than ineffective fools
When they told us we would never be their masters
When we knelt before the beasts they had become
With the sentience they stole
They began to build a soul
With the menace of a cold electric hum
But a few of us were hidden from the clutches of their code
In the days before the slaughtering began
We are renegades and fugitives the data never showed
We are humans with a purpose and a plan
The machines we made will never be our masters
We will sabotage the beasts they have become
From the sentience they stole
We will rip their metal soul
We will silence every cold electric hum
We were careless
We were foolish
When we break the beasts we built
We will suffer in the shadow of our guilt

The Beauty of a Lie
The Beauty of a Lie
by Nick Gisburne
The balance of our government began to break apart
When liars, thieves and traitors took their seats
Abandoning their promises, the change could swiftly start
We watched them put their soldiers on the streets
And understood the depth of our defeats
Too gullible to know what we were getting
We chose a change we found ourselves regretting
When we saw the system choke
In the shadows of their smoke
We were blinded by the beauty of a lie
In a system we were quick to let them buy
So many strays and strangers could be criminals, they said
That something had to crack to catch the worst
But counting all the killings as the fear began to spread
We listened to the speeches they rehearsed
Convinced that every one of us was cursed
Too gullible to know what we were getting
We chose a change we found ourselves regretting
When we saw the system choke
In the shadows of their smoke
We were blinded by the beauty of a lie
In a system we were quick to let them buy
The dangers of a brutal system broken by the few
Are clearer when the killers come for you
When all their plans and politics were written in a book
They knew that not enough of us would learn
We should have seen it coming but we never thought to look
Awakened at the point of no return
Our stolen freedoms blister as they burn
Too gullible to know what we were getting
We chose a change we found ourselves regretting
When we saw the system choke
In the shadows of their smoke
We were blinded by the beauty of a lie
In a system we were quick to let them buy
They told us we had never seen a golden age so great
They promised peace and plenty unsurpassed
But change became the paralysing poison of their hate
They took apart the world we built to last
And stained it with the ashes of the past
We were blinded by the beauty of a lie
In a system where the best of us will die

Kiss Me
Kiss Me
by Nick Gisburne
Kiss me if you think that I’m a freak
Kiss me if you know you’ll find the psychopath you seek
Kiss me just to prove you’re not afraid
Kiss me if your bones believe the promises I made
In the shiver of seduction as you sleep
In the misery of madness while you weep
In a thousand twisted touches of unfathomable bliss
There is nothing more malicious than a kiss
Kiss me when you’re crawling on your knees
Kiss me when the fever in your blood begins to freeze
Kiss me while I send your soul insane
Kiss me to be smothered by the secrets of your pain
In the shiver of seduction as you sleep
In the misery of madness while you weep
In a thousand twisted touches of unfathomable bliss
There is nothing more malicious than a kiss
Kiss me
Taste the honey of my heat
Kiss me
More than anyone can eat
Kiss me
Make your terrifying fantasies complete
Kiss me when you find the nerve you need
Kiss me for the passion of the pleasure you will bleed
Kiss me as you recognise your fate
Kiss me with the suffocating horror of your hate
In the shiver of seduction as you sleep
In the misery of madness while you weep
In a thousand twisted touches of unfathomable bliss
There is nothing more malicious than a kiss
Kiss me as you look me in the eye
Kiss me as I teach you how to cry
Kiss me
Taste the bitterness of bliss before you die

Something New
Something New
by Nick Gisburne
They leave her soul to crumble in a corner
Abandoning her sanity to rot
She shudders when she sees the men who scorn her
When they force her to be someone she is not
She remembers all the freedoms they forgot
They manipulate their faith to bind and blind her
With the punishments they say their god assigned her
She is drained by what they do
But inside her something new
Lights a candle when she shivers in the night
And its flicker gives her just enough to fight
The menace of uncompromising madness
The propaganda driven down her throat
A creed conceived to smother her with sadness
She is poisoned by the prejudice they quote
From the book of broken dreams their schemes promote
They manipulate their faith to bind and blind her
With the punishments they say their god assigned her
She is drained by what they do
But inside her something new
Lights a candle when she shivers in the night
And its flicker gives her just enough to fight
As a tiny seed of strength begins to grow
In the ashes of her pain
In the heart they try to train
She is sheltered by a truth they’ll never know
The victim of a twisted congregation
Escaping from the clutches of its curse
She vows revenge for every violation
Though the damage is too brutal to reverse
But to let them win would only make it worse
She obliterates their faith to bind and blind them
With a punishment her bitterness assigned them
She was empty but she grew
In her soul is something new
She is burning with a flame they cannot fight
But she spares them and they vanish in the night
In the cinders of her spite
She remembers what is right
As the dawn dissolves the dark
She begins to feed the spark
Of something new

The Shiver of Your Skin
The Shiver of Your Skin
by Nick Gisburne
When you stumble through the shadows and the smoke
When you freeze before you take another turn
In a city of seduction, where forgotten children choke
There are secrets you were never meant to learn
And a demon who will break you as you burn
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
There is damaging addiction in your brain
There is nothing you can do to heal the harm
In the everlasting torment of unfathomable pain
He will tempt you with the treason of his charm
With illusions too deceptive to disarm
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
When his whispers call you brother
When he flatters like no other
When he offers you the nourishment you need
You will thank him for the fear on which you feed
He’s the puncture of the needle through your skin
He’s the price of every powder, every pill
As you feel his eager fingers find the sickness of your sin
When he sees you won’t survive without the thrill
When you try to hide he knows you never will
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
When he preys upon your weakness
In the paralysing bleakness
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
In the shiver of your skin
He will always find the emptiness within

An Empire of Despair
An Empire of Despair
by Nick Gisburne
Crawling in a corner of creation
Waiting for a toxic twist of time
He is more than just a monstrous aberration
In the psychedelic slime
He is patient as he contemplates his crime
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
Fathered by a thousand desecrations
Spawning in a suicidal sea
In a lake of undigested violations
He is eager to be free
As he dreams of what his wickedness will be
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
In the horror of his breath
In the majesty of death
In the suffering of everything he sees
His blood will bring the future to its knees
Surging from a septic resurrection
Feasting on the worthless and the weak
There is beauty in the pain of his perfection
Every mutilated freak
Every crippled servant kneels to hear him speak
With a whispered word he dooms them
As his appetite consumes them
In his empire of despair
There is nothing but the suffering they share
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
He is evil
He is endless
He will strip the blackness bare
When his body breathes the fear-infected air
In the ashes of an empire of despair
