The Red Queen




She is a merciless butcher.
Her kingdom is a slaughter house.
"Off with her head" echoes through the endless hallways.
Headless statues fill the gardens,
Roses painted in blood glimmer under the blue moon,
Ashes of the dead nurture the synthetic trees,
Feeding people poisonous apples.
She's a powerful sadistic dictator,
Followed, obeyed... loathed.
Her unfaithful lover is a knave,
Pouring lies and hateful love into a prosthetic heart.
Fake and fearful courtiers worship her,
Throwing diamonds and compliments at her feet.
People in her kingdom are just food,
Food for her gruesome appetite, for gore and carnage.
Oh how she basks in their terror,
Wrapping the cape of authority around her!
Where are the saviors you might ask.
They are in her courtyard,
Rusting away with the others.
She has defeated Alice.
She overthrew her White sister.
Now she holds the cards.
She is the queen of Wonderland.

Rejected Redemption



They will find me tonight
Hanged like a motionless pendulum
My mortal suffering came to an end.
Let eternity take over.
My soul is a monster, cage me in
I'm a thief, a rapist, a murderer
I stole lives, raped purity, slaughtered innocence
Call me a criminal and punish me
Call me a sinner and purify me of my vile deeds
"forgive me, father, for i have sinned"
But "father" never did
My desperate plea hit the cold wall of rejection
Heaven doesn't want me
I wont let Hell have me
Will I roam the world aimlessly?
Am I going to be hung by a thread between Heaven and Hell?
Is my soul going to be trapped in Limbo?
Can I find the peace I seek?
Help me, Gabriel. Help me, Angels.
Help me escape the inevitable.
I lived the life of a sinner.
Now I die as a lonely pariah

Suicidal Note



Erase my existence
Delete my life
Kiss me goodbye
Surrender me to death
Bid me farewell and I'll leap into death's arms
Don't miss me
I don't exist
Don't cry over me
I'm invisible... A dying ghost
Remove me from your memory
A pale, small creature
Say my name
Whisper it to the wind
And let me fade and die alone
Turn your backs and walk away
Smother my cries
Force me to smile then leave
So erase my existence
Delete my life
Kiss me goodbye
And I'll rest
Rest forever

Crystal Ball Princess




Her home is a cold wasteland
Haunted houses and dead trees
Empty carriages and cloudy skies
It's the painting of death and non-existence
A bleak pallette of white, black and gray
She lives in a forsaken tower
Her secret world of ice sculptures and snowflakes
So beautiful, so fragile, so cold
She is lonely and desperate
But she patiently waits for her prince
Or anyone to rescue her
She needs her savior. Her salvtion. Her only hope.
The sudden gust of wind announces his presence
Her prince has come. She is saved.
His cold lips touched hers...
Her soul was finally free
Her mortal body lay lifeless
He takes off the mask of freedom and beauty
Revealing the ugly face of death
Her prince never came
Her prince never came
The rescue mission turned into a royal burial
Her home into an ice casket
Her graveyard is a crystal ball

Land of Strangers




In a land of strangers, I exist,
Lonely, miserable, unwanted and invisible.
In the bright light, I sit in dark silence
Unseen and unnoticed.
My heart is drowning in a sea of black tears.
I'm lost in my anger and bitterness.
You are blind, sometimes uncaring,
But you sit and watch.
My sadness threatens to choke me.
You'll put flowers on my empty grave.
What am I to you?
The remains of a distant memory?
A flashback of the dead past?
A reminder of the present?
An outcast? An expendible friend? A has-been?
Or maybe a hint of the lame weak future?
Will I be the stranger who used to be?
I am a stranger in the land of the familliar,
An alien among people,
The corpse among the living;
Because no one understands.
No one will ever understand the stranger...
