Sample Excerpts:

 

 

A cold night sweat has filled my heart with dread,

The feeling of being underground alone.

Merciless pulling towards the torture cell.

A desert palace or a norman keep.

Screaming sounds from the thumb-screws and the rack,

I hope my God has not got one of these.

They preached a God of brimstone and of  Hell.

We feared a place of everlasting pain.

How do we trust that which we also dread?

Please, never tell a child a lie again!

I have done nothing! I am innocent!

But have I worked according to his rules.

Is loving God that which you hold most dear?

Or  is your God the sum of all you fear?

 

 

 

 

I’m trying to find out who’s in charge here.

I’m peering in the caverns underground.

A Yeti or a Sasquatch in a picture.

I’m searching in the forests all around.

I’m listening for a pulse that can’t be heard.

I need a clue, a pattern to break down.

Darwin couldn’t get this fellow talking.

Columbo leaves this crime scene with a frown.

My echo keeps coming back to haunt me,

A portal nearby waiting to be found.

It’s like being in the Matrix Reloaded.

Magnetic north and north pole aren’t the same

           It’s hide and seek with someone out too long.

It’s Jumanji, a hunter and a gun.
