When the portal opens

The doors creak, open wide
It’s already too late
No one can ever escape

The candles are lit on the altar
Black shadows dance
Fresh sacrifices laid out in offer

The demons call from inside
Hungry for a taste
Now the Feast of Flesh begins

Chant With Me

Acid slides down my throat
Burns on the way down
This bitter truth I bear

Toast the devil tonight
Lift the chalice up high
Drink deep of that brew

Consume the rat tails
Suck them down dry
Chew on the tough ends

Crunch down on the bones
Ignore the snapping below
The jagged ends broken sharp

Smell the sulfur in the air
Breathe in a deep lungful
Savor the smoky aftertaste

Light a fire in my soul
Speak the black words
I’ll summon a demon for you

My Fairytale

An apple so ripe, cranberry-red
Sweet poison

The taste cloying on my tongue
Bitter skin

I try to cough the piece back up
Blood frozen

There’s no more beating of my heart
Breath gone

I have lost

My eyes are wide open, but blind
I trusted

The wise old crone becomes a witch
She laughs

They come to bury me in my casket
No air

I want to scream, but my lips are shut
Fade away

Once upon a time

Gamble

Take a deep breath and count to ten
Let this feeling fill you up inside

Close your eyes and make a wish
Take a chance and roll the dice

Get on that rollercoaster
See how high you fly
Don’t think about the ending
Just enjoy the ride

Take a deep breath and count to ten
Let this feeling fill you up inside

Close your eyes and make a wish
Take a chance and roll the dice

Forget that failure’s an option
Run forward without looking back
Let the wind tug at your hair
The ground blur beneath your feet

Take a deep breath and count to ten
Let this feeling fill you up inside

Close your eyes and make a wish
Take a chance and roll the dice

Smile carefree and unrestrained
Be gentle just because you can
Start a new friendship every day
Let the sunshine warm your skin

Take a deep breath and count to ten
Let this feeling fill you up inside

Close your eyes and make a wish
Take a chance and roll the dice

Take a chance and roll the dice
