"Down and Down"

The tears are falling
softly calling
gently crawling
down and down

The heart is breaking
love is aching
can't stop shaking
down and down

The wind is howling
fear is scowling
I am growling
down and down

The heart stopped beating
death's cold greeting
life is fleeting
down and down

The grave is plotting
blood stopped clotting
I lay here rotting
down and down

The earth is chewing
grinding, spewing
I sit here stewing
down and down

The old day's setting
and forgetting
past bloodletting
down and down

The new day is dawning
nature's awning
slowly yawning
down and down

The cycle's turning
always churning
I am yearning
down and down

"Trial by Fire"

A great horse
a rider in black
a torch held high

A dark glance
a readied lance
and a jet-black banner

A hand is raised
a shadow summoned
the report is given

The enemy is on the field
the soldiers mustered
final preparations made

The horse gives a neigh
the rider a nod
the troops mount up

A bugle sounds
the line moves forth
horses prancing

A new note sounds
visers are lowered
lances are steadied

A third note sounds
the riders push forward
the mounts begin to trot

The banner waves
the charge begins
the earth trembles

The thunder rolls
the dirt flies up
the great beasts fly

Amongst the foes
a great fear rises
the dread cavalry approaches

The rank is strong
the rank is swift
the first foe dies

The blood flows freely
bodies broken
spirits dashed

The dark rider watches
the dark rider smiles
this day his men are blooded

"No More"

Close your eyes
and wake no more
give a sigh
and breathe no more
give a thought
and think no more
I am
and be no more

"Sword"

flat steel
power zeal
thrill feel
stars wheel

fire sun
barking gun
never undone
feeling one

all in all
standing tall
hit the wall
take a fall

catch me
can't see
who is she
let me be

"Wind Walker"

Soaring, turning, wheeling
feel it in my wings
Sweeping, diving, climbing
the rush so sweet
Gliding, spinning, sailing
through the clouds and on forever
Skimming, rising, flying
I am the Wind Walker

"Love"

A child's laugh
A mother's warm smile
A father's bright pride
A brother's loving defence
A sister's gentle guidance
A friend's kind word
A buddy's firm handshake
A confidant's merciful indulgence
A sorrower's sad embrace
A lover's tender kiss
A mate's intimate touch
This is love...
and so much more

"Fire"

deep
asleep
warm spark
in the dark
moment's flare
brightening glare
smoky haze
strengthening blaze
raging fire
funereal pyre

"Desire"

Atrraction
Action
Satisfaction
