Stream Of Graves
02:38
|
|||
|
I took my pain to a stream of graves
Where the flowers bloomed white and plain.
Marked out footprints that misbehave
Drowned by the earth and drunk in the rain.
On the pilgrims way,
To the stream of graves.
The king and queen the stream they see
Is the same no matter the grave
The pulse that it gives for us to be free
Meets with my pain in it’s watery cave.
On the pilgrims way,
By the stream of graves.
In the end dust thrives on lust
Through the damp air whence it came
The feet will change and the path adjust
The stream still flows all the same.
On the pilgrims way,
In the stream of graves.

Avona and Morresby
06:40

Avona her beauty was so great
She carved out the land
And opened the flood gates
Her curvaceous shape
A place where many a person
Wanted to escape.
She wanted one, with his velvet skin
And dark wavy hair
His charm that pulled her in
The music he did make
A treasure she would like to share
To ease her heartache
To ensure his bondage to be pally
She would use bindweeds
From the deepest valley
Sprites once more are hatched
As he walks home
Morresby will be watched.
He stands in awe by the waterfall
Lusty voices sing,
Between the broken wall
Wirery tongues do grace
Around him wraps the bindweed tied
A spritely embrace
His clothes were dissolved his cock free
Just his naked flesh
For the queen they did tease
His lithe body was seized
The sprites with magic they caressed
The man they did please
Nearing his ecstasy she arrived
To be at his side
Bonds did fall love lived
The music was climatic
From that day loves greatest passion
Music and magic.

A Woman's Choice
03:22
|
|||
|
I smile free in my soul
I chose the path on my own
The world cries, it s so old
My mind the female pleasure viewed
A womans’choice
The child sings in it’s dreams
Kin of our impiety
Air decays, the planet screams
Action now in our anxiety
A womans’choice
Where witches burned now I live
As I create so I begin
My happy journey I do give
My knowledge, love and joy come in.
