The Race

You're running fast, I'm running faster,
Running through air to become the master.

I duck and weave, you split a cloud,
The race leader wears a golden shroud.

You spiral left, I dive to the right,
Fighting the wind with all our might.

I see a dragon, you see it too,
It rises above us, eclipsing the view.

You rise to meet it, I stay below,
The monitor cries out 'not long to go!'

I see the flame, you feel the heat,
The dragon's fire burns your feet.

You return down, I strive to advance,
The race leader does a circle dance.

I pass the line, you come soon after,
We finished 2nd and 3rd to the sound of laughter.

You look upset, I feel let-down,
The race winner is ordaned with his crown.

In The Dark

Sittin' in the dark, I'm so alone,
Nobody calls on the telephone,
It's so useless to me now.

Sittin' in the dark, can't take these lonely nights,
Won't someone please turn on the lights,
They're so far out of my reach.

Sittin' in the dark, I dreamt I died,
Kinda strange that I dreamt I died,
Cos don't you know I'm dead inside.

Red

Suspended on a gossamer wire,
I held on tight and looked up at the fire,
The clouds were rising higher and higher,
And as I descended into the mire,
I watched the sun burn the sky into a blanket of ash.

Archon

The Behemoth stirs;

His steps laboured, the time worn limbs
Creak with the rust of a thousand showers,
Left out in the rain for a thousand hours.

Power surges through him,
Stealing kindness before my eyes,
He enters the battle with designs to my demise.

Tooth and nail, the fight is hard,
Blows traded, pain and fatigue run through
Us as we fade- dance to victory but it breaks in two.

Running free and built to last,
Sleek and strong, I move fast, faster
Than he can fathom, my motion only seen after.

I leap upward, the end is nigh,
Stretch the carcass, Crucify.

The Behemoth falls;

Defeated.
