KOOLPA

A Bolt Of Blazing Gold
A bolt of blazing gold,
Lifted from the horizon's edge
Another radiant dawn sends new hope,
Avowed my hearty pledge
My yearning to be part
Of nature's truthful solitude
Of wisdom's inner light
That shines in mystic multitude
The guiding source within,
So few of us will ever know
And few will ever climb
The great world-tree from which we've grown
But those who seek will find
The rhythm that vibrates high and far
And rearrange the cosmic threads,
The pattern of the weave of stars

A bolt of blazing gold,
A sunfire in zenith hurled
Oh, wingless skydancer,
Rejoiced upon the warmth unfurled
What wonders do you hold ensnared
With your mighty heart?
What secrets may be mine
To brother-share as we depart?

Of richest emerald forged,
My soul still rises, longingly
From inferno's winding caverns,
Through dark air soaring, restlessly
If silence was enough!
No words can grasp my starkest thoughts
No language known to man
Portrays my naked sentiment

A bolt of blazing gold,
Swallowed by the waveless sea
The ocean-winds set sail,
In breeze towards their destiny
On solarbeams they rode,
White sea-gull-wings in harmony
For a moment's startling glimpse
A sienna-burnt tranquility

Oh father of the coloured sky,
Unwear thy robe of shadowhood
Let nature's soul once clash again
'neath blooming glades of goldenwood

We're the ones who seek
To dance to fallen serenades
The magic hymns of gold;
As softly sung, the sunlight fades
...away

Of richest emerald forged,
My soul still rises, longingly
From inferno's winding caverns,
Through dark air soaring, restlessly
If silence was enough!
No words can grasp my starkest thoughts
No language known to man
Portrays my naked sentiment

A world of silent stone,
As frozen in the nightly sky
In heaven's dark recesses laid,
No living soul draws nigh
For seconds all is still,
No moonlight heaves throughout the dark
Nor do the heavens breathe,
No dryads wreathe within the dark

Within my dark domain…

Alone
"let me die", i cried as the curtain fell
And i stared in woe at the world before me
My weeping eyes could not bear to tell
Or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me

What became of the lands that were?
A pearl in the nest of memories
Forever gone...departed by the minds of man

Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood
Parasites of life, with my heart i condemn
Your ignorant ways

Like the leaves of the high trees
I wither and fall,
Borne by autumnal winds
To my funeral hall

I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness

I have been told to honour life
And what therein i'll find
But if all i see is darkness,
Let me die and wake up blind
As the gleaming blade before me,
Singing lullabies of loss
Whispering "death is your redeemer
To the paradise you've lost"

Mankind, evoker of inferno
Let me burn your honoured crown of creation
And dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come

Why should i stay here where i do not belong?
Of weakness burns my within...and empty shell

I've lost the way to the sanctity i need

I'll greet the dawn that brings no life,
No frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night
My mournful roam has ended

I hide in the shadows white binding my time,
Sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme
With the fury of damnation

Once i held in my hand the starlight of eden
And the white sky lay open in a soul that was free
(but the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast
And i woke up one morning with no reason to be)

I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless
Sorrow
I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear

Take me home to whence i came
Where i'll find light to feed my flame of life

Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope...

Am I 1?
I grant to you
No privilage of person
No sense of self
Denial of choice
Its wants out
So from all the little bits and pieces
A simple case of lost and found
A wicked new beginning
I don't ever want to see
It's the oldest trick in the book
Just like everything you always knew
Turned upon its very end
There's nothing left to be
Half a mind to say all the things that bother me today
You better check if it's me in that coffin of yours
Or just the one you thought you knew

I am one,
Who am i?
No character to be lost inside

A mind is hard to please
So wander aimlessly

Hands clenched in fists of rage
Concealed in frustration
There's a part of me that cannot deal
With the character i am forced to be
A thinly veiled plan to lay your world afoot
Lost in community
Blind in belonging
Is there really nothing more than this?
The emptiness remains
So put on your brave face
And take the plunge again

At Loss For Words
Waiting for the signs to bring
The first to sing
Felt inbetween these fears
Set to unknown tunes
So tempt these fragile fiends
A grace gone dark
You'll never know
Never feel
Never taste the depths of your defeat

Break into the hearts and minds of man
Never one to tell
Sucking on a lie that never ends
Found at loss for words

Locking on to faith gone bad
Sweet touch of sin
Not in the sleight of hand
Can facts be lost
Never understate your case
Deny our weight
There never is
Never was
Can never be
A break from binding chains

Break into the hearts and minds of man
Never one to tell
Sucking on a lie that never ends
Found at loss for words

Atom Heart 243.5
Still alive
All knowing eye
Beneath your stream of words
Your rapid stream of words
Though none will
Ever live to share
The radiant stream
The promised hues
From which your picture fell

Re-seal the components from atom hearts
Revert, non-owner of worlds

As uncommunication becomes the manifest
Our alien, architectural skeletons in unison collapse

Death rode these silent caravans
And steered them to the ?(o/a)?im of the world.

Their diaries and withered letters
All devoted to the art of dying

The enterprise, academy
The crafts held in our hands
All devoted to the art of dying

No room to arrange
The final row of masks
Drenched in chameleon-ink
For the grand charade
The tongues that burn in you
The slowly altered language
That colonised your heartland
Advanced through broken doors

And they still believe in you

They seem to see
So many things
Booked in your pestilent eye
Your stale lids, your iris punctured
By tongues licking a lie

The enterprise, wolvenlore
The cursed seed of man
Plunged through the tunnels of uncreation
We reach out to move the landmark,
Hands seeping down from the chronicles of time
The quill now blunt
The scribe devoured

Auctioned
Outsmart the fever
And take us farther from
The killing life in capsules
A life that can't belong
If i wake up dead to the world
With the helm at my command
The reaching out of this
Oh, faced tomorrow
In the eleventh hour
Beckoned closer
Now as nightfall sends it's grace
Oh, cue to enter
The insatiable ideal
Slam it shut
But the portal pounding lingers
What it is; is time undone?
I cannot falter in the security of labour
Was i supposed to believe?

Where did i sign?
Did i miss
The auction?
Where my life
Where did i sign?
Did i miss the auction?

Went the half mile
Wondered when the resolution would come
Life became too solid
Diluted by the essence of denial
Caught in fire's eye
Oh, the self and the filter that is i
My lip was venom
Words formed in my mouth
And hid beneath the tongue
Never to be
Never to be seen

Where did i sign?
Did i miss
The auction?
Where my life
Where did i sign?
Did i miss the auction?

Was i supposed to believe?

Where did i sign?
Did i miss
The auction?
Where my life
Where did i sign?
Did i miss the auction?
Where my life
Where did i sign?
Did i miss the auction?
Where my life
Where did i sign?
Did i miss the auction where my life went by the club?

Away Delight Away
As false as our minds our eyes refuse to see
They claw for the falseness in me
From where all life springs anew
We are cleansed through the crystal fire
Fill me with sound, fill me with hatred
Let my life bring life to the soil
The soil beneath my feet
Messenger of pain sailing silence
Commander of my sorrow riding rage
Infinity is eternal - never born so it may never die
Colours speak my name
Through the crowns i am baptised in the
First gnawing rays from a blackened sun
In the name of my blood i curse thee
Shelter me under the trees
Spread your twilight wings
My broken body is dripping with sin
Your skin so delicate
Your undemanding bliss will carry me far
I bid farewell to this godforsaken land
Nevermore shall i return
I join with the riders on the horizon
For they are my blood!
For they are my saviours!
They bring me hatred, bring me fire
They take me down to the land i know not
Then crush me - take me down
Then they build me once more again
Slayer of my anger sailing silence
The angel of my lust
She is tasting shame

Beyond Enlightenment
Now oppression stalks the remnants of compassion,
Brewing hatred to surface in wicked actions
Cloaked in peace and mercy, force their false
Confessions
Sentenced am i dying, cleansed from all salvation
"defy our accusations and a certain death you'll
Meet
A fool denies the obvious, and fools we shall
Defeat"
All sanity now vanquished, ever mould beyond
Control
My guilt stands yet unproven though they still
Demand my fall
Demand my fall
Blood runs beyond enlightenment at inquisition's
Hands
Vicious burn the fires swiftly out of hand
Now my fate lies in their "hands of liberation"
Forming law and justice into obscuration
Leading lies ensuring my life ceased in fire,
In the name of peace, to cleance my dark desires
"you stand accused of herasy and all what that
Implies
With darkened minds you summon those who're
Fallen from the skies"
Envenomed bleed their poisoned hearts, the power
They've abused
A deadly game of envy in which my life i'll lose
Blood runs beyond enlightenment at inquisition's
Hands
Vicious burn the fires swiftly out of hand
Shackled, fettered - choking as i drown
Fooled and tortured - confess comitted crimes
Shackled, fettered - choking as i drown
Fooled and tortured - confess comitted crimes
Sentenced by superstition - my innocense denied
Truth is strange than fiction - religious
Genocide
Alone in blind desperation, i face my mournful
Death
In flames i meet termination, but my memory will
Be left

Cathode Ray Sunshine
Carry our streams
Lift up our less than elated lives
Transmit our selves
We breathe out
Where no one whispers

Take in all the dark light
Turn the nighttime into day

Cathode ray sunshine
Speak out and we receive
Show me and let us in

Alienate
Block out all
Amid the breaking of the light
See it again and again
Single sight

Sensory perception
Turn the nighttime into day

To our great distrust
Escapism a means of
Getting through alive
Take it in and spit it out again
That measly filth

Focal degradation
Bring the chaos into light
Cathode ray sunshine
Burn

Constant
With each daring new concept
Creation and form
One fragment of shelter
From heaven be torn

The bleeding through barriers
Shine of redemption
The taste of renewal
Let art once again be a weapon

The whim of the forger is theft from the flow
The hatchet now redden with creation's blood

Constant is forever

I am the creation
So bold in design
The errors of one thousand minds
Bleed out through a world gone blind

This is the magic that a name would stain.
