Pillars of Hate

The Pillars of Hate
A thousand words stuck in my throat
Tears walled up behind welded eyelids
Dark clouds of hate
Shadowing my heart
The pillars of hate
In the temple of flesh
Strain the muscles in my mouth
Into a perverse caricature of a smile
Expose my teeth
The snarl of a beast
Paint my face
In a shade of grey
Shadow my exposed self
Let this mask hide and deceive
Walking through the night
As a ghost
All oblivious to me
Only a quick glimpse
A shadow that quickly disappears
The bloodline of the chameleon
Beautiful young people
Smiles and laughs
Shiny white teeth glistening
Bubbly, infectious laughter
Infects me with hatred, contempt and envy
Subhuman superficial existences!
Behind my back laughing at me
If only I could understand your games
Manipulative words and body language
If only I could put on a mask
If only I could be one of you
The thought
To not to exist any more
To clear the slate
No more being a slave to
Social demands and norms
I do not understand
Repels and attracts me
Paranoid fantasies
My Own Worst Enemy
How I wish
That I did not wish
I was dead

With Open Eyes, I Have Walked the Realms of Dreams
With open eyes
I’ve walked the realms of dreams
Each day an eon
Yet life is but a second
The flickering flame
Swept away by a current of blackness
With open eyes
I’ve walked the realms of dreams
Black clouds
Heavy with rain
Carrying the promise
Of a half remembered dream
Inhale. Exhale. Repeat
The fabric of time and space
Torn asunder
With open eyes
I’ve walked the realms of dream

...of the Stars, the Moon, and the mysteries of the soul
Kept a silent vigil
At the keep of desolation
In solitude
I read the night sky constellations
Watched the moon
Cold and uncaring
Cry out its silent call
Spellbound…
Magic mists of oblivion
Swirls around me
Transcend into
The enchanted kingdom of shadows
Spellbound…
The lamb thrust its head
Into the maw of the wolf
Carrion birds gather in the sky
Serpents crawl in the dust
Phoenix arise
From the ashes to the fire
Spellbound…
Magic mists of oblivion
Swirls around me
Transcend into
The enchanted kingdom of shadows
Bound
the heavenly bodies
In their eternal dance
By laws of mathematical beauty
The secrets of the constellations
Profound
Where solitude beckons
for an eternity silently screaming
I’ve pondered upon
The Stars, the Moon, and the mysteries of the soul
“Mighty wizards”
“Elder gods”
“Serpents of the sea”
“Guardians of the cosmic gate”
“Where the rivers run red, and the dead arise”
“My chalice filled with wine”
“Upturn my cup”
“Drink every last drop”

A Thousand Voices Speaking as One
Each night they speak to me
Each night they plead to me
What has a new day to offer you
But betrayal and deceit
What good are your toils
But idle efforts
Just prolonging the inevitable
A thousand voices whispering to me
A thousand voices speaking as one
Walk with me
Into the night
Take my hand
And come away
To a place
Where never again
You shall be lonely
A thousand voices whispering to me
A thousand voices speaking as one
Now, come away with me
As night gives way to day
Let's leave this place
Of pain and despair
To a place
Where you can sleep forever

ANGST
Originaltekst af Tom Kristensen
Som en bisse med blodige hænder
efter slagsmål og spiritusbrand
har jeg rejst mig fra tilfældets leje
‘på en divan ved rædslernes rand
Asiatisk i vælde er angsten.
Den er modnet med umodne aar.
Og jeg føler det dagligt i hjertet,
som om fastlande dagligt forgaar.
Men min angst maa forløses i længsel
og i syner af rædsel og nød.
Jeg har længtes mod skibskatastrofer
og mod hærværk og pludselig død.
Jeg har længtes mod brændende byer
og mod menneskeracer paa flugt,
mod opbrud, som ramte alverden,
og et jordskælv, som kaldtes Guds tugt.
