Runaways on a bitter pill
Nowhere to go but still
The world alight
With war will die
And all that's under the ash
Will answer for its past
A new age begun
For just us, Eve, my love
As the Sun began to fall
You were there
And turned me around
With heaven crashing down
I swear on everything, girl
This could be your world
Runaways in an orphan war
The atoms run their course
Armies of the dead
Take refuge in the sin
Every tower looks the same
Immolated, stained
Fires reach for life
To the stars and final lie

Red Ramona

She lit a cigarette
With her boot on a tank of gas
Grin I will never forget
And a bullet in the chamber kept
To remind to not forget to run
Succubus with a loaded gun
Maybe one day she'll erase the sun
Cuz she bangs until the body's done
Her name is Red Ramona
Just one of the last brigade
Limitless and conditioned soldier
Ramona knows your name
She grabbed me by the neck
Beating heart clenched tight in her hand
On revelation night she said
As she claimed with vampire kiss
"Death is love and you're dead to me."
Goddesses never dance for free
Title earned with a shadow fee
In corpses and commodities
Her name is Red Ramona
Just one of the last brigade
Limitless and conditioned soldier
Ramona knows your name
So claim what's left Ramona
Just one of the last brigade
Limitless and conditioned soldier
And Julia grenade
She'll chase you across
Shooting stars
Always crying for the wanted man
No space to accost
Broken hearts
Wrapped up in a body bag
Ramona knows your name

Dark Star

Hear the song and chase the waves
Beyond the walls beyond the cage
Feel alone but we're all the same
In a room where strangers betray
The last light is a lie
We saw the past die before our eyes
Never testify
Risk averse perverse acolytes
You gotta lift your suffering
Between the dead we stray
Ghosts in a mortal frame
I hope you light the way
My Dark Star, Dark Star
Fallen stars/ forgotten gods
No temple to protect the lost
Eden flame and worlds apart
Second chance with the veil that's torn
The half-life is a lie
We saw the wounds cauterize
No lies left to score
Star crossed and lost no more
Between the dead we stray
Ghosts in a mortal frame
I hope you light the way
My Dark Star, Dark Star
Feel the broken hearted
Grieve the ones departed
Wage a war with God when
I'm the one who bargained
Hear the song and chase the waves
Beyond the walls beyond the cage
Feel alone but we're all the same
In a room where strangers betray
The half-life is a lie
We saw the wounds cauterize
No lies left to score
Star crossed and lost no more

Dead Wake

The way I wear your scars on my heart
my art like a body farm
set in with infection
no perspective is safe for reflection
Ramona over my shoulder
No way to live
Time is a passage lies
make light the weight of pressing knives
words and eyes confuse
bloody hands with deadly proof
Ramona over my shoulder
Chosen for her comfort
time she gets as good she gives
She
Loves the chase
And always
Finds the weak ones all the same
Smile
Wide, inviting
But I Know
She wears a death mask today
Ramona over my shoulder
Devoted to a choker
Time she gets as good as she gives

Desecrated
Failure falling faster than light
Separated
The void is the valley in the shadow of life
Annihilation
Calluses on a criminal heart
Liberation
Murder is the message of mortality's gods
Seek the hopeful
Mourn the souls sold
The sun's gone cold
There's nothing left but pieces and memory
Win the day spent
Why seek the stars when the sky's below
Domesticated
Battered brothers battling bereft of hope
Fabricated
Like the deity you didn't deign to know
Insulated
Daughters devoted, dying desperate and cold
