Burn me down





Set me free, let me be, whatever I needed to be

If that means the devil in me, what I couldn’t see

The monster within, lurking and grunting, at a snail's pace

And drinking my soul, till it vanishes without a trace.



The shadow of fear is looming large, of an evil reign

Growing like a poisonous dream in my mind and brain

A realm of dead and ugly to rule, and be one of them

To slay the good and better, to keep ahead of the game



Sitting in dark, with a dark desire, in my dark heart

Desire to set ablaze this heaven and earth

And to stand on the pile of ashes and whatever left

Laughing and mocking those promises never kept.



I am growing a beast, in me, as me, for me

So cut me open, cut me through, cut me free

Only way to stop me reaching for Lucifer’s crown

So bring it on, thunder and lightning and burn me down.

Pandora’s Box



                                                                    


                                                                                                                                                                                             
I was sent to the mankind as a gift, a beautiful present                                    
With a jar in my hand, that I know nothing of
As the god of the gods made me and sailed me to earth                                      
Unaware of his intentions, his plans and desire


I was a seductress, an all-gifted and all-giving woman                                  
That I had to win all the hearts by Aphrodite’s beauty
I had to conquer all the minds with Hermes’s tongue.
Created by an artist, with silk robe and garland crown.                                      


And then I was between them, among them                                                          
As they were singing and dancing, celebrating.
And I unwrapped the gift from heaven, as they insisted
I opened the jar; I opened the box of pandemonium.


I would always be remembered as a curse to people                                                
Someone who did set all the chaos and sorrows upon earth
But I did never let go off, our hopes to vanish in thin air
So we learned to hope, against all odds, against all hopes.
