Oberon & Titania [Based on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"] [He is the king of fairies ans She is the fairy queen. Their powers and skills forcefully turned against each other. Like maniacs blinded by light of passion and haughtiness, they drag themselves to the lowest dungeons of nature. Ceaseless passion between two beings. Passion that unites before it destroys anything around if once unleashed. We are nothing when it comes to sustaining our gratefulness in front of desire. We are born broken in a diluted world poets' admiration cannot disguise. None can break the broken. Broken we all are.] Oberon, king of fairies, husband of Titania They collide for a child causing weather mania Contra, furious nasty matching part Calling wind, calling storm, calling thunder ram Calling thunder ram Fog, darkness, cold icy breathe Spell expands, release seethe Contra, furious nasty matching part Calling wind, calling storm, thunder rams None can break the broken None can break the broken None can break the broken None can break the broken Can't hold Can't hold I am sure I'll fall apart No hope No hope The two cannot come one Love lost Love lost Its beauty lost its class The spell The spell I must regain my thrust 3.

The Nightwatch The guards of rules, so dire / Never scorned, never tired Flames come out of guns / Knives mark their lands Stare the skies and pray your lord / Let us do the sneaky work The arm of law is strong and bold / In the name of noble oath God forgive them all, it is their thirst for striking mesmerizing gold Hail to the Nightwatch Honored to secure the rights in life / Faith, astounding, atrocious siren in white Oath, the epitome of spiritual life / Loathe the symptom of grime Glorious arms, shine so great / Power's taste defines their fate The sun seems below their seats / Dramatic looks, resembling kings Prepare your gear the worst to meet / In darkness lurks the evil deed With dignity and pure beliefs / The Nightwatch created its myth 5. Stellar Parallax Observe the time and space / Evaluate yours steps in maze References define strength / Calculate voyage length Visual perception / Needs the right correction Essence of eternity / Lured divine fraternity Stay still and see / Understand, understand and forgive Reciprocate, redeem, devote / Precarious feeling, life revoke Raise one hand to touch the stars / Raise the other to call the gods Any place you stay, for any hollow say Furious angels descent with rage your soul to save 6. Hubris Morals / When life shows kindness / And gods serve your needs You tend to believe that greatness / Apparently lies in your own genes You tend to believe in your self / You tremendous mistake on Earth Hubris The words, the acts, the dreams, your past Try to feel the pain you caused / Horrid end to lustful call Decorate the grave of world / Enemies in wooden horse Never forget / There where you start is where you return Dust to dust / Replica stars, your pride is ruthless so does your final mar You dream of heavens / Drown in lust / Furious burst Hubris The words, the acts, the dreams, your past 7. The Reptile Gods Across the mountains and seas man knows Under a volcano's golden stones A breed of lizards with tongues like whips Prepare the arrival of its kind king Through fires they passe and dance strange songs On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall They laugh at stories about their race Their children are taught to live with grace Through fires they passe and dance strange songs On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall I don't want to tell you more About this race of creatures born Under a sign of burning crown I only want to share with you A minor detail-cum-brutal truth These are the gods your world obeys Born by fire They love the flames Salamander 8. Hyperion The titan beast in flaming suit / The lord of light, the saturn's moon The father he is of dawn and sun / Beneath the realms of moral man Blast, above the spring of cosmic dust The hordes of monster rays ram Selene and Helious form the bridge / The darkness passes through the rim Defending beams protect the world / The tongues of flames resist the cold Hyperion 9.
