Tales From My Imagination: April 2013

ONE WORD

You don't know me
Or anything I do
What do you see?
What is your view
I stay quiet
Stay out of trouble
But you want a riot
To burst my bubble
Attacked out of the blue
I did nothing at all
I did nothing to you
So why did you call?
You used a word of hate
Accused me of lies
I question your mental state
When you gave me a suprise
Just one word, a word so vile
That's not me, don't call me that
One word destroyed my smile
And turned my whole world flat
Why do you hate me so?
I did nothing to you
I have anger but I'll let it go
I'll keep my feelings true
I refuse to be swallowed by rage
By what you just said
I'll move on and turn the page
While your face remains red
One word can cut so deep
And bring up an ugly past
Hate makes the future seen bleak
Hopefully it will never last
I refused to be swallowed by it
I accept everyone as they are
My compassion will never quit
We are all children of the stars
The universe lies inside of us
We have so much power inside
Let's unite in a bond of love
And let the word hate shrivel up and die.

ELANIA (ORIGINAL VERSION)

Before you I didn't know happiness existed
I was alone in this world being devoured by my own hate
A bitter human being, with emotions dark and twisted
You became my reason to smile, to change my own fate
I wanted to die but for you I want to live
Seeing light for once in this place of darkness
It radiates from your smile, the aura you give
I can now see that not everyone is cruel and heartless
I had no emotions, at least that's what I believed
Jaded with everything, putting up a wall of steel
But I look into your beautiful eyes and drop to my knees
You have torn apart that wall and made me feel
Now I know that dreams do come true
No more shall I be a lost tormented soul
You have made me realize that my dream was always you
And for the reason you care about me, you have made me whole.

HER SWEET EMBRACE OF AGONY

In the darkness she stands, glorious
Calling to me like a beautiful dream
Never defeated in battle, always victorious
She looks so familiar, but I can't remember her name
The face of a goddess, her eyes are as endless as time
Her looks are so deadly, but soothing all the same
This can't be real, this is all happening in my mind
I want to turn away but I can't, it seems
She calls my name and I move close to her
She promises to take away my pain and fear
I see memories of happiness that once were
These streets are so empty, and no one can hear
She grabs me and my chest feels no more pain
I can't breathe, but the agony is so sweet
"Take my hand forever, there will be shelter from the rain"
I follow her into darkness but I'm not moving my feet
It's so dark now, I can't catch my breath
Now I know who she is, I'm in her embrace and it's too late
That name I couldn't remember, her name is death
I'm safe here now, the endless darkness is my fate.

AVERAGE

I'm not happy or sad
I'm not calm or mad
I don't feel primal or savage
I just feel average

I don't feel like a king with a queen
I don't feel like I'm living the dream
I don't feel like a hero at all
I just feel average as I walk through the mall

I don't feel tired or awake
I'm not in a hurry, I don't want to wait
To be honest, I don't know what to do
I just feel average like the sky is blue.

RESCUE

I'm waiting for you to ease my fears
I can't wait until the day you come here
I'm tired of every day feeling worthless
Feeling like my life is full of nothing but curses
Until you come I belong to the night
Only you can make all my wrongs turn right
I'm being eaten alive by my insecurities That's why I'm waiting for you to rescue me
I don't know where you are or who you could be
But I'm begging you, please rescue me.

A WORLD LIKE THIS

Not awake, need more sleep
Another start to a long week
There's something I need to do
I need Metal so I can make it through
Another day trapped in a nightmare
In a concrete jungle where people don't care
Here we go, another day in this madness
As mother earth weeps her eternal sadness
Mankind keeps on bleeding her dry
People are oblivious and I wonder why
A dark future is coming, everyone can see
But they keep wishing that it will never be
Positivity can't turn these problems away
Smile all you want, they'll still be here the next day
I'll finally smile when I see the world at peace
When hate and war begins to cease
Until then, don't expect me to be all cheery
When this entire world is dark and bleary
I'm not happy or sad, I merely exist
That's all that can be expected in a world like this.......

DEFEATED

On my knees, hurt sad and lonely inside
If this is life, then I would rather die
Another day of being such a failure
I don't know how much I can endure
Nothing goes right, I mess up at every turn
People keep telling me to always stand firm
I can't stand anymore, I'm alone in this universe
Is life truly a gift or is it just a huge curse?
I Ponder these things as I look at myself
It's just me now, there's nobody else
No one to love, no one who loves me
I'm trying not to drown in a sea of misery
Is it even worth it to wake up another day?
I try my best but still screw up in every way
The battle with life with lost and I'm defeated
I give up, with my will to live depleted
What can I do? Where can I go?
Everything is just a big I don't know
The screaming wounds just won't go away
The cries of despair just won't go away.....

CHILD OF THE STARGAZER II: RETURN OF THE MORNING STAR

CHILD OF THE STARGAZER II:
RETURN OF THE MORNING STAR

As the endless kingdom war rages on
She appears in the morning sky
Beside the sun at the crack of dawn
She is coming to save us all
Our cries echoed through the universe
The saver of worlds has heard our call
Our world would see a new rebirth
The stargazer has come to save again!
Our world will not come to an end! The morning star shines bright once more
To end the pain and death of war!

She has heard the pain and tears
Of a nation slowly dying from hate
Her Moon Sword blazes in her hand
Those who oppose her will seal their fate
As she comes to heal our land
The fighting stops as they see her glory
Her beauty gives the sky a golden glow
She's real, not another fable or story
She's saved more worlds than they'll ever know
The relief will come for those in pain
Those sick of war and crying endless tears
Beyond galaxies she comes and no one knows her name
But she still comes to silence their fears
She shines like a star in the sky alongside the sun
All kings and queens must drop to one knee
As she comes to unite them all as one
And the glory of her light is all they see.

ALONE ON VALENTINE'S DAY

Love is in the air, but not for me
Endless sadness is all I see
No one to love or give roses to
I wish it was a lie but sadly it's true
There will be no kisses, not even a hug
Nothing for me as I look down at my rug
Too sad to raise my head, I can only hang it down
A prince of an empty kingdom who lost his crown
I wrap myself around a book to ease the pain
Not something physical so it's hard to explain
The day finally ends and I'm still all alone
Sadness and tears rule in this lonely throne.

THE LAND OF THREE SUNS

We sail off in the sea, to a new horizon
Going off to a land never heard before
I almost burst with excitement and my grip tightens
Thinking of what I learned in the books of lore
We have The Queen's blessing as we set the course
To the land of legend, the land of three suns
We set sail, off to the lands up north
As we wave goodbye to all our loved ones
Across the black seas, past the island of dragons
Past the endless storm Goratha and beyond
A land that none of us could possibly imagine
As we head out, we see the sun's in the sky
One red, another yellow and the last one blue
The stories and legends told make us wonder why
These things came to be and are these stories true
Were off to this ancient land, not know what we'll find
Adventure for all of us on board lies ahead
Who knows what things unknown we'll see?
Untold possibilities start to fill up my head
Of what's out there beyond the known seas....

LOVABLE LOSER

He's a nice guy who never wins
Cheer up people say with a well meaning grin
Sadness runs with him where ever he goes
He pretends to be happy so nobody knows
Every one is his friend or so it seems
But he only wants to be with the woman of his dreams
She says he's a nice guy but that's just about it
He's heard it many times but he will not quit
Different woman but he hears the same phrase
Will he always hear that until the end of his days?
He keeps trying but he'll always lose
But I guess that's life so what are you going to do?

DREAMS OF BASEBALL?

Sitting, watching a game and having fun
Enjoying baseball in the summer sun
Then a woman next to me grabs my hand
To see if I'm married, I don't quite understand
"Hey you're not married so hello there!"
She was older but had beautiful blonde hair
Here comes my nephew, what did he do now?
He got thrown out of the game, but I wonder how?
What an idiot he threw something on the field
I had to look at him and say: "Are you for real?!"
The game goes on and the skies grow dark
But soon the game ends, now it's time to leave the park
Everyone gets in a car as it starts to rain
But I started to run and it's hard to explain
I ran so fast, as fast as the wind
I kept passing cars as the rain blended in
But then I woke up and realized it was a dream
I still keep wondering what this all means.

YOU DIDN'T LEAVE

The hood is off and you didn't leave the place
You came closer to me and touched my face
You didn't run away from a monster like me
I'm still wondering how this could even be
I'm hideous, I still don't know what you see
Can't you see that I'm just plain ugly?
You looked me in the eyes and didn't turn away
Now I'm just speechless, I don't know what to say
Before I could say anything, you gave me a kiss
There's nothing in the world that's sweeter than this
I never thought this would happen, it's so hard to belive
You saw me for what I was and still you didn't leave.

NOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

You called me nothing
Your love you said I didn't deserve
You told me to do something
Instead of being such a nerd
You laughed at me, called me names
And said that I was disgusting and ugly
You kept playing mind games
And said no one would love me
But then I found a woman
Who accepted me for who I am
And you got angry and started foaming
And said I was less than a man
Now I'm a sellout, a disgrace to my race
It's funny, you never said that before
I finally found someone who looked at my face
And didn't make fun of me anymore
And now you scream: "They're taking our good men!"
What do you mean? You said I was a loser
Stop being dramatic and leave us alone then
I tried but you said no and became a verbal abuser
You turned me down and I found someone else
So what if she has a different color of skin?
Keep your silly comments and keep them to yourself
Because you know you'll never ever win
Don't tell me who to love or who I should be with
It's not my fault you're still stuck in the past
I'm walking away from you so just be done with it
The hate in your heart will turn you to ash.

VALKYRIE'S CALL

I have been cut down and the wound is deep
I'm so cold and tired, I want to sleep
It's getting dark as I gasp for breath
I'm not afraid as I face my death
I hear the Valkyrie's call

A beautiful woman approaches me
But it seems like no one else can see
She lifts me up and we soar into the sky
I'm headed to Valhalla way up high
I hear the Valkyrie's call

She leads me to the golden hall
I see my brothers, one and all
We drink and laugh about the good times
The world of Midgard seems far behind
I heard the Valkyrie's call

I made it here, now I'm home
My fighting skills and sword I'll hone
Riding on Sleipnir, Odin comes in
And watches us all until Ragnarök begins
Because I heard the Valkyrie's call.

SILENT KINGDOM

A beautiful place it was but it's now in ruins
The grandest buildings of all once stood here
Once the great fall happened, everything was confusing
But the Eye of Crenwell still sheds its tears
No one has ever lived here for thousands of years
But once this place was filled with laughter
It's empty and barren, haunted with fears
And everyone fled after such a disaster
The sunflower fields are barren except for the last one
In the empty royal garden it lives still
It stands tall as it faces the heat of the sun
It shines and grows because of its strong will
The last bit of life that has left this place
The only sounds are heard is the constant wind
But this silent hasn't seen a living face
Since the beginning of its untimely end
But it still sits, untouched and if ignored
As it slips through the sands of time
But in the Age of Steel, in the heat of war
Crenwell still stays out of sight, out of mind.

THE WATCHES

In this room that holds all time
Things happen that boggles the mind
Strap on a watch it takes you to a year
In another place in space, far away from here
Many worlds, people animals and places
People that are alien but have our faces
Strange worlds that have water and no land
Where ships sail endlessly through the watery expanse
Take off the watch and now you're back in your world
While you watched lives and other worlds unfurled.

THE CRIMSON GODDESS

She walks in the office, the whole world stops
Her red hair of fire a wonder to my eyes
A woman with a soul that forever burns hot
And she knows my name to my surprise
I stay quiet, focused on doing my work
But she's so beautiful I can't look away
And even though my boss can be a jerk
Even he can't get on my nerves this eventful day
I daydream once again and she's there with me
As we fight against evil in a fantasy land
I know in the real world this would never be
Because she's a Goddess and I'm a mortal man
I hope this day drags on like they usually do
That just means the longer I stay with this angel of light
I'll actually be sad when the work day is through
Because we'll part and say goodnight.

TIRED OF IT ALL

Tired of the hate, tired of the names
Tired of people who keep spreading the flames
Tired of people wanting me to choose sides
Tired of posts saying that someone should die
Tired of being brought in this stupid G+ war
Tired of people telling me who I should fight for
Tired of being blocked by someone who was once a friend
I'm tired of it all and I just want it to end

I JUST AM

I'm not happy or sad
I'm not calm or mad
I'm not up or down
I don't smile or frown
I don't cry or laugh
I'm not this or that
I'm not here or there
I don't or do care
I'm right in between
As weird as it seems
I only feel when I can
In other words, I just am
