Plot
Special Forces Sergent John Anderton attempts to live a normal life after multiple years in combat. Little does he know that his past would not be forgotten by a legendary adversary he failed to assassinate years ago. John must now battle a god-like enemy to protect the things he holds dear.
Plot
Sixty years from now there are no governments. There is no leadership. No air transportation. There is only hope for survival in the uninhabited parts of the world. Warfare has ravaged the planet, and only a select handful of people survive. In the far reaches of the South Pacific lies a stretch of islands called the Dark Horizon, a former military base and now hideaway for a band of cutthroat pirates; pillagers of passing transports carrying survivors from combat. Gabriel Hawkins (Matthew Charles Hall), a legendary captain of the sailing vessel Invictus, leaves behind his life of piracy in exchange for an occupation as a transport for hire. His famed sailing ship and it's small crew, made up of aspiring treasure hunter Jonathan Davies (Kyle Cahill) and former air force pilot "Slider" Finch (Christina Reyes), carry two passengers who are looking for transport towards the former Hawaiian islands. Violating a trade agreement with the South Sea League of Pirates, Gabriel and his team head west into treacherous waters to take two fellow former Americans to shelter, one of them being Rebecca (Crystal Cooper), beautiful young woman in search of her family. As the adventure unfolds, these heroes are pursued by a band of cutthroat pirates along with the hazardous conditions of the sea and must return to the waters of the Dark Horizon in order to survive.
Prepare the sails... Prepare your soul.
Plot
The Senate desperate to put an end to the chaos that Hannibal is causing on the Roman Peninsula, has sent out a rag tag army of new recruits and the shattered remnants of the disaster of Cannae. The newly formed Meridian armies are to engage Hannibal at all costs. The battle hardened Veterans of Cannae, led by Lt. General Cornelius Scipio, begin to assassinate the politicians who glorify the causes of war, and slowly through negotiation, barter, blackmail and murder seize control of the Meridian Army for themselves. The allegiances of these great families will put an end to the squabbling politicians and forge an empire the world will not soon forget.

The Birth of Ma'Fia, The Death of Politicians and The Dawn of an Empire: La Cosa Nostra
Plot
In 42 BC Rome is in the middle of a civil war. Together with his friend AGRIPPA, the young Augustus goes to Spain in order to help JULIUS CAESAR in his struggle against the troops of POMPEY. Even though they are outnumbered, they manage to defeat Pompey. Caesar honours his adopted son Augustus with a triumphal entry into Rome and then sends him to Greece together with his friends Agrippa and Maecenas. There, Augustus hears the news of Caesar's assassination and he returns to Rome with his friends. Back in Rome, he is able to gain both the support of the people and political power. In his struggle with the conspirators against Caesar he finds an ally in MARC ANTONY. Marc Antony not only pursues BRUTUS and CASSIUS, he also initiates a wave of executions which practically eliminates the old Roman ruling class. Among those who are killed is the husband of LIVIA DRUSILLA, a woman with whom Augustus had been in love as a young man. Through a combination of good luck and chance, Augustus and Marc Antony are able to defeat the forces of Brutus and Cassius at the battle of Phillipi. But now Augustus has to share his empire with Marc Antony who, in the meantime, has become the lover of the Egyptian queen CLEOPATRA. Augustus declares war on both of them and after a successful military campaign he becomes the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. During his rule, Rome not only experiences a period of peace and prosperity, it is also an age in which both art and culture flourish. His new wife Livia Drusilla becomes his most important political advisor. It is she who discovers that IULLUS (the son of Marc Antony and lover of Augustus' daughter JULIA) is plotting to murder the emperor.

History will bear the mark of his rule.
He inherited the Roman Empire. He decided the fate of the world.
As the empire kneeled in defeat, one man stood in triumph.
Augustus: Did I play my role well, in the comdey of life?::Julia: The gods will tell you father.::Augustus: Applause, please.
Cleopatra: [about Octavius] Why don't we silence that boy by placing his head on a stick?
Scipio: Julia? "Submissive"? Ha! [Notices Iullus' face] What's the matter?::Iullus: I love her.
Tiberius: I'll find Iullus and kill him!::Julia: No, you won't. You'll go back to the boarder and continue playing "soldier" or I'll have father throw you in prison as a deserter.
Iullus: I will have revenge for my father's death, and Julia will be my sword.
Scipio: [Upon seeing Julia] Hail to our queen!
Tiberius: My duty is to maintain authority over Rome's legions; you undermine that with your adultery which you don't even attempt to conceal. I can not live with that!::Julia: Then do us both a favour and fall on your sword!
Julia: You already have what you wanted of me, father. Heirs. My sons. Now let me live my life!
Atia: Whose glory is Octavia's marriage?::Octavius: For Rome.::Atia: Rome, who is he? I don't know him. Does he have a sister too?
[after telling Scipio about Tiberius raping Julia]::Iullus: She blames her father, even said she wants him dead... But I don't believe her, she'd never hurt him.::Scipio: She doesn't have to.::Iullus: I love her!::Scipio: Stop telling me that!::Iullus: It's true!::Scipio: Really?::Iullus: Yes!::Scipio: Then if you truly love her, you'll do it. Augustus will not yield.::Iullus: But surely...::Scipio: Your noblity won't protect you, you're father made that mistake. There is only one way - he must die.::Iullus: I would lose her, she would never forgive me...::Scipio: You'd be saving her. Do you really think Livia is ever going to let Julia's children rule over the empire when Augustus dies? The children will be killed too, you know it's evitable. And when she realizes that, she will thank you.::Iullus: We failed once.::Scipio: We were stupid, out in the open with the mob, the guards and Julia to stop us... Will she let you into her house?::Iullus: [nods] Tonight.::Scipio: Then the gods have handed us the sword.
Plot
Young filmmakers (Rafer Weigel, Eric McCormack) trying to hawk a movie titled "Bradykillers" about a serial killer who goes after victims Marcia, Jan, and Cindy meet their screen idol, William Shatner. Shatner, appearing as himself, has fun poking fun at his own image. The two young men, who idolize him and in their fantasies have seen him as a shadowy fairy godfather figure, are alarmed at the reality of the middle-aged non-Captain Kirk man that they meet. However, their relationship helps anchor the two more into reality.

The Shat hits the fan
Only one man in the Universe can get them on the right Trek...
Love long and Party.
Young Mark: So you're saying I should engage my advanced-for-a-twelve-year-old intellect and use logic?::Imaginary William Shatner: Logic is the other guy's schtick, but yes.
Imaginary William Shatner: I'm not really here. I'm one of the top ten imaginary friends kids have. Just behind John Travolta, Reggie Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
Mark's Mom: Mark, Mark, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to go to that movie - that "Star Track" movie.::Young Mark: Oh, Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? "Track" is what a train goes on, okay? "Trek" is what the Enterprise goes on, okay?::Mark's Mom: Yeah, and they say the pain of childbirth ends with labor.
[Young Robert was in a fight with a larger kid while wearing a gold Starfleet uniform, when William Shatner appears to him]::Imaginary William Shatner: I think I ought to tell you that that, uh, Aryan youth is gonna kick you into oblivion.::Young Robert: But what about in "Arena" when Kirk fought the Gorn? That giant lizard monster was three times as big as him!::Imaginary William Shatner: My boy, that was a TV show. I used a stunt double. I always use a stunt double. Except in love scenes. I insist on doing those myself.::Young Robert: Well, what would you do to avoid a fight?::Imaginary William Shatner: I wouldn't dress like a geek. Gold is not your color. Think earth tones.
[Shatner just asked Robert why he started the fight]::Young Robert: Well... it was something he said.::Imaginary William Shatner: What'd he say?::Young Robert: You really don't want to know.::Imaginary William Shatner: I really do want to know!::Young Robert: He said that Han Solo was cooler than Captain Kirk.::[pause]::Imaginary William Shatner: Kick the little fucker's ass.
Claire: Where are you going?::Robert: Looks like I'm going nowhere.::Claire: Don't you fucking quote Star Wars at me!
Mark: Do you wish Rhett never loved Scarlett? Rick didn't have Ilsa or Harry never loved Sally? Someone once said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Succeed or fail, we must make the attempt, it's our nature. Now if it were up to me, as it usually is, I would order this. But its not. Because Claire is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any relationship with a man as intelligent but fantastically flakey as Robert. But I must point out the possibilities, the potential, for true love and happiness are equally great. Risk... risk is our business. That's what relationships are all about. That's why we're out there.
Eric: Robert. Dude. Great party but... where are all your friends of color?
Tricia: Robert!::Robert: Hello, Tricia.::Tricia: Brian, this is Robert.::Brian: Oh right. The Trekkie, right?::Robert: Fuck you both.
Claire: When are you going to start living in the present instead of the 24th century?::Robert: I would never live in the 24th century! I fucking HATE "The Next Generation". Only classic!
Tiberius (Latin: Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus; 16 November 42 BC – 16 March 37 AD), was Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD. Tiberius was by birth a Claudian, son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla. His mother divorced Nero and married Augustus in 39 BC, making him a step-son of Octavian. Tiberius would later marry Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from his marriage to Scribonia) and even later be adopted by Augustus, by which act he officially became a Julian, bearing the name Tiberius Julius Caesar. The subsequent emperors after Tiberius would continue this blended dynasty of both families for the next forty years; historians have named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In relations to the other emperors of this dynasty, Tiberius was the stepson of Augustus, great-uncle of Caligula, paternal uncle of Claudius, and great-great uncle of Nero.
Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals, conquering Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and temporarily Germania; laying the foundations for the northern frontier. But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and sombre ruler who never really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him tristissimus hominum, "the gloomiest of men." After the death of Tiberius’ son Drusus Julius Caesar in 23 he became more reclusive and aloof. In 26, against better judgement, Tiberius exiled himself from Rome and left administration largely in the hands of his unscrupulous Praetorian Prefects Lucius Aelius Sejanus and Quintus Naevius Sutorius Macro. Caligula, Tiberius' grand-nephew and adopted grandson, succeeded the emperor upon his death.

ITS THE SECOND WEEK OF DEER CAMP
I GOT A SWOLLEN HEAD
I'M LYING WITH THE DUST BALLS
UNDERNEATH MY BED
AN ICY BREEZE IS BLOWING IN
THROUGH THE TONGUE AND GROOVE
MY PANTS ARE FROZEN TO THE FLOOR
AND I'M TOO SICK TO MOVE
I DIDN'T DRINK TOO MANY
ONLY THIRTY CANS OF BEER
IT MUST HAVE BEEN THAT LAST SHOT
THAT PUT ME UNDER HERE
CHORUS:

SO GET OUT OF OUR WAY
C'mon, cmon!
C'mon, you can do it!
(car starts)
All right!
Dashing through the snow
in my Rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go
Sliding all the way
I need new piston rings
I need some new snow tires
My car is held together
By a piece of chicken wire
CHORUS
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke
The door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash
And then I start to pray
The frame is bent, the muffler went
The radio, it's okay
Oh what fun it is to drive
This Rusty Chevrolet
I went to the IGA
To get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire
And it's getting hard to steer
Speeding down the highway
Right past a county cop
I have to drag my swampers
Just to get the car to stop
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bouncing through the snowdrifts
In a big blue cloud of smoke
People laugh as I drive by
And I wonder what's the joke
Got to get to Wal-Mart
To pick up the lay-away
'Cause Santa Claus is coming soon
In his big old rusty sleigh
1. I WAKE UP TO A NIGHTMARE
HIS ARMPITS IN MY FACE
IT'S MAKING GASTRIC NOISES
AND STINKING UP THE PLACE
HIS TEETH ARE IN THE COFFEE CUP
ON THE NIGHT STAND BY MY BED
THERE'S A SMELLY OLD GYM SOCK
ON THE PILLOW BY MY HEAD
A HOLEY PAIR OF UNDERWEAR
IS HANGING ON THE DOOR
A PEPPERONI PIZZA IS LYING
FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR
I PUT MY FEET AGAINST HIS BACK
AND GIVE A MIGHTY KICK
HE CRAWLS OVER TO THE BATHROOM
AND HE'S IN THERE GETTING SICK
CHORUS:
THERE'S A NIGHTMARE IN MY BATHROOM
AND it's SUCH A SCARY SIGHT
THERE'S A NIGHTMARE IN MY BATHROOM
AND it's SUCH A SCARY SIGHT
THIS CREATURE'S NOT THE SAME GUY
WHO TOOK ME HOME LAST NIGHT
2. HE STUMBLES FROM THE BATHROOM
WITH HIS FINGER UP HIS NOSE
IT'S SHOVED UP TO THE KNUCKLE
I WONDER WHERE IT GOES
I GOTTA GET HIM OUTTA HERE
BEFORE it's LIGHT OUTSIDE
CAUSE IF THE NEIGHBORS SAW HIM
ID CONSIDER SUICIDE
I SUDDENLY REMEMBER
IT WASN'T AT THE BAR
I MET HIM DOWN ON THIRD STREET
HE WAS BARKING AT THE CARS
I GRAB A DRIED UP SOUP BONE
FROM THE DOG DISH ON THE FLOOR
HE GOES RUNNING OUT TO FETCH IT
AS I FLING IT OUT THE DOOR
1. RUTHIE ROLL OVER YOU'RE KILLING ME
YOU AINT AS LIGHT AS YOU USED TO BE
YOU'RE UP THERE HAVING ALL THAT FUN
I'M DOWN HERE WISHING YOU WERE DONE
HURRY UP RUTHIE NOW FINISH UP QUICK
MY KIDNEYS ARE SQUASHED AND IM GETTING SICK
LETTING YOU UP THERE WAS A BAD MISTAKE
HAVE MERCY ON ME FOR GOODNESS SAKE
CHORUS:
RUTHIE ROLL OVER YOU'RE KILLING ME
YOU AINT AS LIGHT AS YOU USED TO BE
IF YOU DON'T STOP EATING NOW

I CAN'T STAND THIS MISERY
RUTHIE ROLL OVER YOU'RE KILLING ME
2. TOO MANY PASTIES, BURGERS AND FRIES
TOO MANY HOME MADE BLUEBERRY PIES

HE SAID WE GOTTA TAKE A HIKE WAY OUT IN THE WOODS
THERE'S THIS GUY NAMED HEIKKI LUNTA HE'S CRAZY BUT HE'S GOOD
WE'LL LET HIM DRINK A COUPLE BEERS AND WHEN HE STARTS TO GLOW
HE'LL DO THE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE AND THEN JUST WATCH IT SNOW
CHORUS:
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE
MAKE IT SNOW, SNOW, SNOW HEIKKI LUNTA SNOW
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE
2. I REMEMBER IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE 15 YEARS AGO
ALL THE KIDS WERE CRYING CAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE NO SNOW
ACCORDING TO THE WEATHERMAN THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE
BUT THE WEATHERMAN DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE
HEIKKI PUT HIS SNOWSHOES ON AND GRABBED A CAN OF BEER
HE PUT ON HIS GIANT PARTRIDGE WINGS AND ANTLERS FROM A DEER
THEN HE GRABBED A CEDAR BRANCH AND DANCED AROUND THE YARD
EVERYBODY SAID THEY NEVER SEEN IT SNOW SO HARD
3. I RECALL A TOURNAMENT OUT AT SUICIDE
ALL THE SNOW WAS MELTING AND WE COULDN'T GET A RIDE
ONE CRAZY FINN CAME DOWN THE HILL AND LANDED ON THE ROCKS
THEY SENT HIM BACK TO FINLAND IN A HOMEMADE CEDAR BOX
WE LOOKED FOR HEIKKI LUNTA BUT HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
WE COULDN'T DO NO JUMPING WITH NO SNOW ON THE GROUND
IT WAS CARL PELLONPAA WHO FINALLY SAVED THE DAY
1. OUT IN DA JACKPINES AT DA BREAK OF DAWN
WE LOOK FOR A BUCK OR A TRACK
AT DA END OF DA DAY WE PUT OUR BULLETS AWAY
AND GO BACK TO OUR TARPAPER SHACK
WE SIT IN DA CAMP BY DA KEROSENE LAMP
AND BRAG ABOUT DA HUNTING WE DONE
WE'RE SWEATY OL' STINKIN' SAUNA BEER DRINKIN'
DEER HUNTING SON OF A GUNS
2. WE GO IN DA SAUNA AND WE SIT ON DA BENCH
AND START BEATING OURSELVES WITH A BRANCH
DEN WE RUN OUT BARE NAKED AND WE JUMP IN DA SNOW BANK
AND WE GO PUT ON OUR UDDER PANTS
WE PUT ON OUR SHIRTS FULL OF SAWDUST AND DIRT
AND WE STILL LOOK DA SAME WHEN WE'RE DONE
WE'RE SWEATY OL' STINKIN' SAUNA BEER DRINKIN'
DEER HUNTING SON OF A GUNS
3. WE JUMP IN DA CAR AND HEAD FOR WOODY'S BAR
CAUSE WE RAN OUTTA BEER YESTERDAY

WE CRAWL THROUGH DA DOOR AND WE ORDER UP FOUR

WE'RE SWEATY OL' STINKIN' SAUNA BEER DRINKIN'

4. WE DRINK LOTSA WHISKEY AND WE SHOOT LOTSA SIT

TEARS FALL FROM MY EYES
AND I MUST APOLOGIZE LUCIA
ILL HAVE TO STAY AT HOME

CAUSE I'M STUCK HERE ON THE THRONE
WITH DIARRHEA
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY GAS
SO I WENT AND LET ONE PASS
THEN I STOOD THERE IN A TRANCE
AS I FILLED MY BRAND NEW PANTS
2. MY MOTHER BROUGHT ME SOUP
BUT IT ONLY MADE ME POOP LUCIA
I NEVER SHOULD HAVE ATE

1. A MOSQUITO RAPED A CHICKEN IN A BLUEBERRY PATCH
SEVEN DAYS LATER THE CHIQUITOS HATCHED
THEY GREW UP FAST AND THEY GREW UP MEAN
THEY TORE A BIG HOLE IN THE WINDOW SCREEN
THEY SUCKED ALL THE JUICE FROM A RASPBERRY PIE
THEY CAUGHT UP WITH THE BEAGLE AND THEY SUCKED HIM DRY
THEY TOOK A FEW PINTS FROM ME AND MY MOTHER
THEN THEY FLEW AWAY WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER
CHORUS:
WHAT'S THAT NOISE COMING OUT OF THE BLUE
LIKE A SQUADRON OF B-52S
ITS A FLOCK OF CHIQUITOS AND they're FLYING LOW
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WHEREVER THEY GO
GRAB THE KIDS AND HIDE ALL THE PETS
GET OUT THE GUNS AND THE CHIQUITO NETS
BOARD UP THE WINDOWS AND SANDBAG THE DOORS
WE GOTTA GET READY GET READY FOR WAR
2. I LOVE TO HUNT CHIQUITOS ON A HOT SUMMER NIGHT
CRUISING THE BUSH ROADS AND SHINING THE LIGHT
I WAIT TILL THEY LAND AND THEN I SHOOT MY GUN
I don't NEED THE MEAT I JUST HUNT FOR FUN
I BAGGED ME A TROPHY JUST LAST WEEK
WITH A FIVE FOOT WINGSPAN AND A SIX FOOT BEAK
I SHOT THAT SUCKER IN SELF DEFENSE
HE WAS CHEWING A HOLE IN MY CHAIN LINK FENCE
TWO CHIQUITOS KNOCKED ME DOWN
I PLAYED DEAD AND I LAID ON THE GROUND
I RAN FOR THE HOUSE WHEN I HEARD ONE SAY
SHOULD WE EAT HIM HERE OR FLY HIM AWAY
THEY DRILLED THROUGH THE ROOF WAY UP BY THE PEAK
I GRABBED A HAMMER AND I BENT IN THEIR BEAKS
THEY LIFTED THE ROOF AND THEY FLEW IT AWAY
I FOUND MY SHINGLES IN SHELTER BAY
1. I CAN’T FORGET THE NIGHT WE MET
YOU WERE SUCH A HUNK
YOU TOOK ME TO YOUR UNCLE'S CAMP
AND WE GOT REALLY DRUNK
I ASKED YOU FOR SOME FOREPLAY
YOU WENT AND GOT THE CARDS
YOU SAID LETS PLAY 15-2
THAT FOREPLAY SOUNDS TOO HARD
2. I DRAGGED YOU TO THE SAUNA
I TRIED TO PRIME YOUR PUMP
YOU PASSED OUT UPON THE BENCH
AND LAID THERE LIKE A STUMP
I BEAT YOU WITH SOME CEDAR BOUGHS
I TRIED TO GET YOU HOT
YOU GOT ALL EXCITED
AND WENT OFF LIKE A SHOT
CHORUS:
I'M MARRIED TO A COUCH DAT BURPS
AND TALKS TO THE TV
THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK ME OUT
WAS 1963
SHOULDA LISTENED TO MY MA
AND MARRIED SOME OLD FART
ONE WITH LOTS OF MONEY
AND TROUBLE WITH HIS HEART
3. I WENT TO DR. TOBIN
CAUSE I WAS GAINING WEIGHT
HE SAID I SHOULD HAVE CROSSED MY LEGS
CAUSE I WAS THREE MONTHS LATE
IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THOSE MAKI BOYS
FROM DOWN IN ISHPEMING
THEY DIDN'T TAKE NO CHANCES
THEY USED THOSE RUBBER THINGS
4. YOU WENT DOWN TO GREEN BAY
WITH YOUR BUDDY BOB
ALL YOU DID WAS GUZZLE BEER
AND DIDN'T FIND A JOB
I COULDN'T WAIT TILL YOU GOT HOME
YOU HAD TO MARRY ME
NOW I'M MARRIED TO A COUCH DAT BURPS
AND TALKS TO THE TV
I WAS BORN A YOOPER WITH BEER IN MY VEINS
I DRINK IT EVERY DAY TO TRY TO EASE THE PAIN
OF ELEVEN MONTHS OF WINTER AND 30 DAYS OF RAIN
AND IF I DIDN’T HAVE MY BEER I THINK I’D GO INSANE
I DRINK IT WHEN ITS FORTY BELOW, I DRINK IT WHEN IT’S HOT
I DRINK IT WHEN IM HAPPY, I DRINK IT WHEN IM NOT
I DRINK IT IN THE SAUNA, I DRINK IT IN MY TRUCK
I DRINK IT OUT AT THE DEER CAMP WHEN I’M CHASING THEM BIG BUCKS
GIVE THIS BOY A BEER MAN, GIVE THIS BOY A BEER
I LOVE THE STUFF, I CAN’T GET ENOUGH BEER BEER BEER
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WHISKEY YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WINE
I’LL TAKE A COLD BEER ANY OLD TIME
BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER
I LOVE THE STUFF, CAN’T GET ENOUGH BEER BEER BEER
MY DADDY WAS A MINER MY MOTHER WAS THE BOSS
SHE BEAT HIM ALMOST EVERY NIGHT FOR DRINKING TOO MUCH SAUCE
MOTHER WAS AS HARD AS NAILS SHE NEVER SHED A TEAR
WHEN DADDY TOOK AWAY MY MILK AND HANDED ME A BEER
I DRINK IT UP IN HOUGHTON AND OVER IN THE S00
DOWN IN ESCANABA I DRINK THAT GOLDEN BREW
I DRINK IT IN NEGAUNEE AND OVER IN MARQUETTE
I WENT TO A BASH IN NEWBERRY I AIN’T GOT OVER YET
GIVE THIS BOY A BEER MAN GIVE THIS BOY A BEER
I LOVE THE STUFF, I CAN’T GET ENOUGH BEER BEER BEER
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WHISKEY, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WINE
I’LL TAKE A COLD BEER ANY OLD TIME
BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER
1. MY UNCLE HAD A BEER GUT
THAT WEIGHED TWO HUNDRED POUNDS
HE USED A WHEELBARROW
TO HAUL IT INTO TOWN
THEY TREAT HIM LIKE A KING
WHEN HE WALKS INTO WOODY'S BAR
HIS BEER GUT PAYS FOR LIGHTS AND HEAT
AND WOODY'S BRAND NEW CAR
2. NUDSIE GOT A BEER GUT
THAT GETS BIGGER EVERY YEAR
SINCE NUDSIE GAVE UP LIFTING WEIGHTS
AND STARTING HOISTING BEERS
HE WAS LYING ON THE BEACH ONE DAY
THE SUN KEPT GETTING HOTTER
SOME SAVE THE WHALE FREAKS CAME
AND DRAGGED HIM BACK INTO THE WATER
CHORUS:
BEER GUTS OF AMERICA
STAND UP IF YOU CAN
STICK OUT YOUR BIG BEER GUT
AND HOIST A COOL ONE IN YOUR HAND
YOUR BEER GUT IS YOUR BUDDY
ITS A FRIEND WHO'S ALWAYS NEAR
AND ALL YOU EVER HAVE TO DO
IS FEED IT LOTS OF BEER
3. MUNGO DRANK A PONY KEG
AT DROOPY AHO'S WEDDING
HIS EYES WENT ROLLING ROUND AND ROUND
AND THEN HE STARTED SWEATING
HE TRIPPED ON DUCK AND FUZZ
'CAUSE THEY WERE PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR
HE LANDED ON HIS BEER GUT
AND HE BOUNCED RIGHT OUT THE DOOR
4. I TOOK MY DATE INTO THE SAUNA
AND ON THE BENCH WE SAT
SHE POINTED AND SHE SAID
'I NEVER SEEN ONE BIG AS THAT"
SHE HELD IT AND SHE STROKED IT
AND SHE TOLD ME WITH A SMILE
BODY BUILDERS MAKE ME SICK
BUT BEER GUTS DRIVE ME WILD
1. I WAS BORN IN A BLIZZARD IN A WILLY'S JEEP
THE U.P. BLOOD IN MY VEINS RUNS DEEP
BUT I MOVED DOWN HERE BACK IN ‘65
CAUSE THE MINE CLOSED DOWN AND I HAD TO SURVIVE
WORKING IN THE CITY WITH A MILLION LIGHTS
GIVING ‘ER TARPAPER DAY AND NIGHT
THE FOREMAN SAYS I’M A WORKING FOOL
CAUSE I EARN MY PAY AND DON’T BREAK NO RULES
CHORUS:
IF I DIDN’T NEED THE WORK I WOULDN’T BE HERE
I’D BE BACK HOME ON THE LAST FRONTIER
GETTING ME SOME OF THAT CULTURE SHOCK
LISTENING TO SOME YOOPER TALK
2. CRUISING IN THE CHEVY THROUGH THE COOL GREEN PINES
ON A BEAT UP HIGHWAY WITH SHOT UP SIGNS
EATING A PASTY OUT AT AHO’S CAMP
PLAYING 15-2 BY THE KEROSENE LAMP
THROWING SOME SHOES WITH THE OTHER GUYS
SHOOTING THE BREEZE AND JUST SWATTING FLIES
GETTING ALL LIT UP ON THAT SIX POINT BEER
CRUISING THE BACK ROADS AND SHINING DEER
IF I DIDN’T NEED THE WORK I WOULDN’T BE HERE
I’D BE BACK HOME ON THE LAST FRONTIER
GETTING ME SOME OF THAT CULTURE SHOCK
why do girls think i'm scary?
why do they treat me like a circus freak?
is it because of my big melon head
or because i talk like a geek
or is it because when i'm on the phone with them
i breathe just like this (loud breathing)
why do girls think i'm scary? will i ever get a kiss?
why do girls think i'm scary?
why do they think that i'm a knob?
is it because the way i walk
is faster then most people jog?
or is it because i like to say words
like okie dokie, pee-u and poo?
why do girls think i'm scary?
i'd feel honky dory if i knew
bridge:
if i had a girl friend
you know my love would never end
i'd buy her gifts, i'd buy her things
i'd buy her pearls and diamond rings
i'd lose some weight, i'd exercise
if i'd fart, i'd apologize
i'd wash my feet, i'd lift the seat
i'd even through away all my looky books
3. why do girls think i'm scary?
why do they think that i'm a dork?
is it because i only dress in black
and when i laugh i snort?
why do girls think i'm scary?
i wish somebody knew
why do girls think i'm scary?
why do they act like i smell like poo?
4. why do girls think i'm hideous?
why do they think that i'm a ghoul?
is it because i never get no sun
or because i always pee in the pool?
or is it because when i pass wind
it smells just like burnt shoe?
why do girls think i'm scary?
1. THE SMELT ARE A RUNNING THE FEVER'S IN THE AIR
THE SMELTERS ARE COMING WITH THEIR WADERS AND BEER

SECOND WEEK OF DEER CAMP
Da Yoopers
(Dr. Demento's 25th anniversery tape)
Note: This transcription is dedicated to my uncle and
confirmation sponsor, Mr. Anthony Mazanec, who
was the best hunter in the Cleveland area
and who passed away last year
Hey there goes one (BANG!) Hey you shot my cow!
It's the second week of deer camp
I got a swollen head
I'm lying with the dustballs
Underneath the bed
An icy breeze is blowing
Into the tongue and groove
My pants are frozen to the floor
And I'm too sick to move
I didn't drink so many
Just durty (thirty) cans of beer
It musta been that last shot
That put me under here
REFRAIN
It's the second week of deer camp
And all the guys are here
We drink play cards and shoot the bull
But never shoot no deer
The only time we leave the camp
Is when we go for beer
The second week of deer camp
Is the greatest time of year
I remember playing poker
That weasel musta won
He's wearing my new swampers
And sleeping with my gun
He's snoring like a chainsaw
The camp smells like a dump
Someone's dirty underwear
Is hanging on the pump
Mickey's in the woodbox
Weener's on the stove
His flannel shirt is smoking (sniff)
I wonder if he knows (YEOW!)
REFRAIN
Beadle's crawling through the door
I think he got frostbite
He passed out in the outhouse
And he's been there since last night
Goofus stumbled through the door
He says he got a buck
He was coming from the wayside
And hit it with his truck
Musty cracked a beer and said
Let's celebrate
Goofus caught the first buck
Since 1968
REFRAIN
1. YOU USED TO TAKE MY PARKING IN YOUR RUSTY CHEVROLET
WED GO OUT TO THE PALMER DUMP AND WATCH THE BEARS AT PLAY
NOW THE HONEYMOON IS OVER YOU don't TAKE ME ANYPLACE
YOU JUST LAY THERE ON THE SOFA POURING BEER INTO YOUR FACE
2. YOU USED TO GO OUT JOGGING AND YOU WORKED OUT REAL HARD
YOU LOOKED JUST LIKE JANE FONDA IN YOUR HOT PINK LEOTARDS
NOW YOU LOOK JUST LIKE GODZILLA WITH YOUR 52 INCH HIPS
AND THE HAIR KEEPS GETTING THICKER UPON YOUR UPPER LIP
CHORUS:
WERE THE ROTUND FAMILY WE NEVER GET ALONG
WE LOVE TO DRIVE EACH OTHER NUTS AND ARGUE ALL DAY LONG
BUT WHEN WE ORDER PIZZA that's ONE TIME WE ALL AGREE
CAUSE NO ONE LOVES THAT PIZZA LIKE THE ROTUND FAMILY
PEPPERONI CAPICOLLI MOUNDS OF MUSHROOMS TOO
MOZZARELLA MORTADELLA BABY SWISS AND BLEU
ANCHOVIES AND OLIVES AND LOTS OF CUDIGHI
That's THE PERFECT PIZZA FOR THE ROTUND FAMILY
3. THOSE TWO BRAIN DEAD KIDS OF YOURS THEY BOTH TAKE AFTER YOU

AND I haven't SEEN THE DOG OR CAT SINCE LUNCHTIME YESTERDAY
4. it's YOU THAT THEY TAKE AFTER YOU NO GOOD LAZY BUM
YOU ALL SHOW UP LIKE CALLOUSES WHEN ALL THE WORK IS DONE
IF I EVER WANNA GET SOME HELP AROUND THE HOUSE
(FEMALE VOCAL)
1. SHUT THE DOOR YOUNG MAN AND PUT DOWN THOSE BOOKS
DON'T STAND THERE GIVING ME THOSE DIRTY LOOKS

I SAW THOSE TEARS IN HER PRETTY BLUE EYES
NOW GET OUT THERE AND APOLOGIZE
(MALE VOCAL)
2. YOU THINK I'M CRAZY I DON'T WANNA DIE
SHE'S JUST FAKIN' IT SHE DON'T CRY
SHE LOOKS SO SWEET AND SHE ACTS SO GOOD
SHE'S THE NORMAN BATES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
SHE'S DIRTY AND ROTTEN AND SNEAKY AND MEAN
SHE AIN'T NO GIRL SHE'S A DEATH MACHINE
CHORUS:
DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
DIRTY LITTLE TEACHER'S PET
ALL YOU TEACHERS THINK SHE'S NEAT
YOU DON'T KNOW SHE EATS RAW MEAT
WE'RE JUST LUCKY SHE AIN'T KILLED US YET
DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
(FEMALE VOCAL)
3. LISTEN YOUNG MAN I KNOW YOU'RE LYING
LOOK AT THAT ANGEL YOU'VE GOT HER CRYING
SHE'S SO SWEET AND SHE'S SO CUTE
HOW COULD YOU PICK ON HER YOU BRUTE
SHE TOLD ME JUST HOW MEAN YOU WERE
NOW GET OUT THERE AND MAKE UP WITH HER
(MALE VOCAL)
4. IF YOU MAKE ME GO OUT THERE
SHE'LL GOUGE MY EYES AND TEAR MY HAIR
SHE'LL PUNCH MY NOSE JUST TO WATCH IT SQUIRT
THEN SHE'LL KICK ME WHERE IT HURTS
LET ME GO TURN ME LOOSE
I'LL SUE YOUR BUTT FOR CHILD ABUSE
CHORUS:
DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
DIRTY LITTLE TEACHER'S PET
SHE GROWS FANGS WHEN SHE'S OUT OF SCHOOL
HER EYES TURN RED AND SHE STARTS TO DROOL

DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE DIRTY LITTLE RAT RONETTE
WE'RE JUST LUCKY SHE AIN'T KILLED US YET
1. MY BEAGLE DRIVES A RABBIT

CHORUS:
IT'S HUMILIATING, AGGRAVATING,
FRUSTRATING, IRRITATING
WHEN YOUR DOG'S A FORNICATING
ON THE MAIL MAN'S LEG
THE HUMILIATION, AGGRAVATION,
FRUSTRATION THAT YOU FEEL
WHEN YOUR DOG'S GOT A RED ONE
FOR THE NEIGHBOR'S BULLDOG STAG
IT'S REPUGNANT, SHOULD I MAKE HIM CHANGE HIS WAYS?
IT'S REDUNDANT, WILL HE ALWAYS BE THIS WAY?
YOU KNOW LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING
AND LOVE IS BLIND THEY SAY
BUT I'M NOT SURE, I THINK MY BEAGLE'S GAY
3. DA WIFE TOLD ME THAT I WAS
BEING A FOOL
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DOGGY PHASE
HE'S GOING THROUGH
SO I TOOK HIM TO MUTTIE MAKIE'S
DOWN THE STREET
HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL FEMALE BEAGLE
SHE WAS IN HEAT
4. I SAID TO MY DOG, "GO GET HER STUDDLY,
YEAH, HAVE SOME FUN"
"SHE'S RIGHT OVER THERE, COME ON, GO AHEAD,
SHOW OLE' MUTTI HERE HOW IT'S DONE"
WELL, HE WENT OVER THERE AND
TOOK A SNIFF
BUT THEN HE YAWNED AND TOOK A
GREAT BIG POOP
MUTTI LAUGHED AND LAUGHED,
I FELT LIKE A STOOP!

3. WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT HE'D END UP AS A ROAD KILL
SHE FLATTENED HIM RIGHT OUT ON THE CENTER LINE
HE COULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE CURB IF HE WERE QUICKER
BUT SHE BACKED IT UP AND SQUASHED HIM ONE MORE TIME
4. GRANDMA CRIED AND CRIED AT GRANDMA'S FUNERAL
NOT BECAUSE WE PEELED HIM OFF THE ROAD
ALL THE LOOT SHE GOT FROM HIS INSURANCE
WENT TO PAY THE BAR TAB THAT HE OWED

BUT THEY HIDE THEIR PIGGY BANKS
YOU'RE JUST LIKE MY UNCLE
WHEN HE NEEDS A DRINK
YOU'RE MUMBLING AND YOU'RE SWEATING
AND YOU GOT THE BINGO SHAKES
I THINK it's TIME TO
SEE A BINGO SHRINK
YOU USED TO GO TO BINGO
ONLY ONCE A WEEK
THEN YOU GOT THE FEVER
NOW YOU'RE A BINGO FREAK
CHORUS:
YOU PLAY BINGO UP IN LANSE
WITH YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR AUNTS
AND YOU TELL ME THAT it's
ONLY RECREATION
BUT YOU ALWAYS GET SO HOT
WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPLIT THE POT
THEY HAVE TO KICK YOU
OFF THE RESERVATION
3. I REMEMBER ON OUR HONEYMOON
I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL
CAUSE YOU KEPT YELLING
BINGO IN YOUR SLEEP
YOU DRAGGED ME OUT OF BED
AND THREW ME UP AGAINST THE WALL
AND SAID YOU BETTER CALL
1-17 YOU CREEP
4. THEN THERE WAS THAT OTHER TIME
DOWN AT THE LEGION HALL
REMEMBER THAT OLE LADY
THAT YOU CLOBBERED
YOU WERE PLAYING 50 CARDS
AND SHE WAS PLAYING ONE
SHE YELLED BINGO AND YOU
STABBED HER WITH YOUR DAUBER
YOU USED TO GO TO BINGO
TO PLAY IT JUST FOR KICKS
NOW YOU'RE A BINGO JUNKIE
AND YOU NEED A BINGO FIX
(REPEAT CHORUS)
5. NOW HERE YOU ARE JUST SITTING
IN THIS MARQUETTE COUNTY JAIL
FOR BEATING UP THAT
POOR OLD BINGO CALLER
YOU SAID THAT GUMMER RIGGED THE GAME
HE WOULDN'T LET YOU WIN
HE PRETENDED THAT HE
DIDN'T HEAR YOU HOLLER
YOU TRIED TO KICK THE HABIT
BUT IT DROVE YOU UP THE WALL
SO YOU SNUCK OUT WITH YOUR BINGO BUDDIES
UP TO THE BINGO HALL
(Spoken)
C'mon, cmon!
C'mon, you can do it!
(car starts)
All right!
Dashing through the snow
in my Rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go
Sliding all the way
I need new piston rings
I need some new snow tires
My car is held together
By a piece of chicken wire
CHORUS
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke
The door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash
And then I start to pray
The frame is bent, the muffler went
The radio, it's okay
Oh what fun it is to drive
This Rusty Chevrolet
I went to the IGA
To get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire
And it's getting hard to steer
Speeding down the highway
Right past a county cop
I have to drag my swampers
Just to get the car to stop
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bouncing through the snowdrifts
In a big blue cloud of smoke
People laugh as I drive by
And I wonder what's the joke
I got to get to Wal-Mart
To pick up the lay-away
'Cause Santa Claus is coming soon
In his big old rusty sleigh
My origin is in fire of vernal space
Each atom in my flesh
Was here long before living
In flames I witnessed cosmos coming
I hold the legacy of long-lived energy
Floating balance disguised in evolution
Along with dust of space ancestry
I shield the inner flame of stellar cremation
Revolted demigod burned his bridges
Escape from nature, where true wisdom mature
And he never found again the lost virtue
But man stole the fire and all elements enclosed
Searched for Khaos' source, when space-time arose
Staring beyond horizon as his twilight grows
In cold dark oblivion ideas are drowning
Knowing my grave by heart
From beginning I lay inside
Whenever I rise in superior form of living
I materialized and love beauty
But I'm wading in the dirt of world
That mud overflows history of cruelty
Through senses of man to time-eternity
Constant presence of death allures me
As much as it dreads you
I'm being, that came from deep space to Earth
Myriads of fiery spots surround me
In their stable beams I see the past
Lie down, my friend, into the bed of home
Let the dream protect you from coming of night
Enchained prejudice leave in irons
In celebration of dusk I devote to might
Human era formed by myths at fires, whatever is heard
in gales...
Eyes of fear open agape
When night is chilly, tenebrous and wicked
Wait for early coming of new morning
When birth of sun denotes victories
The night arise even from east
And Muses are born by waning Luna
Morel-black art I create with heart
Ambient crawls in silence feast
Search the forgotten light of noon
In unclean powers of silver moon
In its influence well-known timber
Is changing to calm ghastly chamber
Each light is shadowing
And shadows are seducing
Dark companion follows me
From dusk to dusk...
Try to find beauty in miraculous night of Saovine...
Embedded to night like ivy and tree
I wait for hunt with elate soul
Only morning sun will scare away
Lost Leukaristos
Laugaricio found...
Vagus endeavouring dolomite of Carpathia...
Harmony of spheres in sadness of valleys
Voiceless for three years
In embrace of night music is born
Patron of dark lyrics
That breaks mournful echo of silence
We are bright flame of this ball
Where Muse created flower in dance with Psyché
Founded past of eternal magic
Revealed spell of black art
Star of knowledge is ablazing in reflection under our
feet
In its light merged five sights in distance
Now we are standing in cinder, new is melting with old
Wind kindles only smothering embers
And silence dies drop by drop again...
Between the world of logic and fantasy
Techniques and rituals lies the realm of shadows
Space, which is ruled by mighty hierarchists
Of hermetic illusions
It was rejected as a land of maniacs
Which knowledge is wicked and dangerous
Yird where illusion is the truth
And the truth faded away
Space around which religion raised the walls
Having no courage to enter
Space, which exhausts the soul, perforates feeble mind
And rack - rents the skin off mortal body
So it was rejected as a land of maniacs
Which knowledge is wicked and dangerous
Yird where illusion is the truth
And the truth faded away
When the night ravishes the day
And the twilight choir dies away
Green beam burns the inner flame
Scattered star light rules again
State of holy lunacy,
Domination of shaman's space
Psychospiritual warriors swarm
Invoking rebirth of the 'I'
Via rituals of new aeon
Others, who are not only members
Of existential collapse within space and time
But they are becoming its creators
Supremacy of shaman's space
From the highlands beyond good and evil
Governs entities of astral empire
Through magic rhythm finds the keys
Like a mystic bell into the sleeper's soul
Between the world of logic and fantasy
Techniques and rituals lies the realm of shadows
Space, which is ruled by mighty hierarchists
Of hermetic illusions
When moon rises high; when violates the sky
and stars on his shroud are dragged to follow him
The time has come to touch the mystery
through spell symbols so can peer to eternity
Candlelight, frozing shadow, the magic power of words,
Destruction of the veil of logic and of stupid human rules
Always is reason, there is no chance
There is no place for weak ones
Ceremonial magic, symbolic death is real
I hunger for the bath in the pool of your blood
in ache you will meet the pleasure of redemption
I am a fiery amulet on your breast
cauterized wound of the knowledge
An echo of ancient laments, mysterious breeze of knowledges
Power of mighties never seen by an eye
for which you dissolve as shadow eternal
Not whoever is allowed to peer...
Ceremonial magic, taste your own pain !
When moon rises high; when violates the sky
and stars on his shroud are dragged to follow him
The time has come to touch the mystery
Abused by lunar delirium
I rise along the marbled stairs
Smelling heavy breath of must
I know I am not in the realm of dreams
What leads my steps into these scenes ?
The creech of massive oaken doors and
through the body permeats the strength of supernature
An energy materialised in fear
as olden as very prime itself...
Abused by lunar delirium
I rise along the marbled stairs
Smelling heavy breath of must
I know I am not in the realm of dreams
What leads my steps into these scenes ?
The rooms ornamented by the cobwebbed shrouds
Heavy crimson curtains soaked with silence
The place, where hope is buried in flues
where strange tales are revived in lunar sigh
Time of Lunar spells
By terribleness driven, by moonlight wheedled
I hear the voices from the abysses of ancient worlds
wishful to unveil the silent beauty of the night
I want to touch the cult of blood with heart
to fill up the goblet of knowledge
to accept gift of timeless life
to be a wanderer not enchained by time
There is a purity in the dying, the yearning for a new birth
It's time of Lunar spells
Abused by lunar delirium
I rise along the marbled stairs
Smelling heavy breath of must
I know I am not in the realm of dreams
What leads my steps into these scenes ?
The rooms ornamented by the cobwebbed shrouds
Heavy crimson curtains soaked with silence
The place, where hope is buried in flues
where strange tales are revived in lunar sigh
You have the wings, which rain can't drench
and still they are trembling beneath the touches of stars
In the massive chords of insane sounds
you are speaking to god, who doesn't see you
Alone with your pain under guard-sheath of the night
Joined by mysterious singing of nocturnal birds
From the light beams to the shadows of the stars
when night is still vernal
Dissapointed by the light in the abysses of dreams
Blackness shadow, uprised angel walking to the dark
You are the Lord of dusk but yet you shine
fervent heart vestured by the night
Alone with your pain under guard-sheath of the night
Joined by mysterious singing of nocturnal birds
From the light beams to the shadows of the stars
when night is still vernal
You emerge uprose from the darkness of your heart
from life's sorrow, above the upland of glory
You have the wings, which rain can't drench
and still they are trembling beneath the touches of stars
You emerge uprose from the darkness of your heart
from life's sorrow, above the upland of glory
You are the Lord of dusk but yet you shine
fervent heart vestured by the night
Alone with your pain under guard-sheath of the night
Joined by mysterious singing of nocturnal birds
You have the wings, which rain can't drench
and still they are trembling beneath the touches of stars
In the massive chords of insane sounds
Justice and wisdom, as other things
Which are very sympathetic
Which attracts so many souls
Have in their earthly shape barely glitter
Only a few people can face its forms
And enter the palace with numb senses
They hardly notice genuine substance
They hardly notice genuine tenet
At that time of beginning
When we were proceeding
In the cue of beatifics
Glorious beauty was shining
We were staring in bright shine
At immaculate revelations
Rejoicing in dedication of perfectness
Unremarked by something, which name is flesh
Everything here by spirit created
Is bounded back to matter
True pleasure never came here
Lamentable twisted place
Captured in slavery of our passion
For eternal yearning of knowledge
Beings robbed by matter, without memories
With no understanding the causes in wheel of Karma process
Everything like a dream and nightmare is
The truth rests in awakening
We bow before limitations of our mind
Like flowers in breath of nocturnal cold
Lifeless emotions ignorance rules without logic of guilt
Breaking the seventh seal is urgent
In this laterna magika of sorrow
A new king is crowned
However bright flame accrue from the sky
What was dust, stone will be,
Which's glory endures ages
Within universe without illusions and light
Wanders stranger in human masque
Inside a cage of sickly mind
Dwells clean state, sprouting seed, metaphysics disappears
From darkness we inure to live
Before we start to think
Gnawing worm is inside of me
Preparing in subtlety of heart as a great masterpiece
Musing obstructs internal rest
Knowledge of world drowns in scepsis, everything vanishes in mist
Time evaporates to infinity
And touch of lethargy quickens latent acerbity
Fetter of life forged by the great ideas says
That religion and science transcend living - give it sense
That fallacy on people not living for their lives,
But for hope which betrays them when eternal gloom will come
Collapse of all belief systems leads to universal nihilism,
Hopelessness and collapse of civilisation
All those who search for eternal life will find eternal death
And those who search for logic will swallow absurdity
In their ash I'm wading towards the jerkiness
Where illogical trends formed principles of logic
Wittingly manipulated with "similar" as with "same"
But nothing is the same itself and prevailing winds blind again
Magic geometry
Forlorn prayer cemetery
False Messiah
Sanguinary gate leading to Assiah
Crown of thorns, baby's giggling
Galaxies created for eternal sin
Moist tombs, guilt of love
Death is the only certainty
Being the route to new life
By destructive flame heavens flared
Cinder is creeping on sanctity chimera
In freezing shine of midnight suns
Lifeless light devoted to night
Everything breeds, everything dies
Eternity between two heartbeats flows
None of the stars is timeless
Only infinite black darkness
It was origin - comprehend
't was beginning, 't will be end
Magic geometry
Desperate prayer cemetery
Fake Messiah
Burning gate leading to Assiah
Pain and delight, temple of lust,
Vision of power and glory wheedles Black and white, no
middle curse
Without kiss of vice we don't know virtue
Through evil we learn
Evil is not only absence, it's forcing power,
Living spiritual being,
To which we behold, being aware of it
Blaze communes on heaven's throne,
When weakness and acrimony are born
Creature of angel sows to souls:
Stone of olden ages in the eye's pupil of sculptor of
perfectness
Spectre of creation hangs above him, soaking into
himself
Everything was here before and everything was somewhere
written
Stories with faded face of truth are becoming
legends...
Small demon of tumult slowly caught his breath
And showed me the depths of abyss of doubt and
disbelief
Closed windows are silent challenge to open them agape
Light will fill the depths of fear of our
unconsiousness
Vault of heaven in gleaming night
Principle of creation is falling on us
We snatch the Muse in clear desire
To become prime movers of conception
She's in springs of irascible thoughts
When dusk is nesting in ruins of walls
Assaults memoried souls, resides in recluse's heart
And hidden truth impels us to action
Everyday I discover something new and it multiplies my
desire for knowledge
Each gulp urges bigger hunger - infinite choice of
chances
...while exhausted mind wanders on mosaic of ideas
Muses always uncover to chosen one only a few pieces of
stones
Vault of heaven in gleaming night
Principle of creation is falling on us
We snatch the Muse in clear desire
To become prime movers of conception
The one who held inside indestructable energy
Solidified clay deceived by faint light of day
Across trees flew short dusk without flame
Today the frost drains marl drunken by rains
Doused will be land tortured by winds
Embrace of mist overflowing the sticks
Eagerly awaits on repulsive gravestones
Under funeral ground is bore nocturnal fear
Silence screams when unrest resides on soul
Chilly timber surrounded chalcedonian seas
Ominous whip of wings spoke from the crests
Crimson eyes flared and clearly burn
Darken skies by quills are declaring Kraèún
Burning crimson of twilight has disappeared
Paraselena is hidden by mist
Funeral calm turned to gale in necropolis
And mortal land crossed the dead
Fiery glances soared over rainy mountains
By mourning screech they are paving their way
Souls that fly will recover on ground
And dead men on hooves will bring the revenge
Behind the gates of life, beyond the fire of torch
From sacred yird, where dead ones dwell
Come souls so silent and secretly
Aeons of wolflike famine howl the choirs
That chant of the dead will burn by blaze
Invisible black hordes will gallop tonight
Clatter turns to silence - majestic and solemn
Seven winters passed away, twelfth fullmoon rules
Spirits are still roaming and graves are emptied
Graves are vacant and spirits are wandering
Marble on cenotaph got so cold
Nightly gesture oranta redeems the forlorns
I fear the light, I was always loving night
thus don't douse the stars for the piece of morning
Dark night-the muse of my words
I walk through the sombre forest with her, robed in silence
To pass the land of woods, where moon touches cold stones with his lips
Where whir of water is heard, that shriek which springs from decaying rocks
Words cannot represent what thought looses
so let be led and hear
The forest below the midnight shadow, the trees will spread their shroud
It is time of spell beginning, of merger with eternal world of darkness
We are the children of the darkness seducted by the light
Moon and stars, our lives are in them
Nothing but deep forest, the domination of wooden soul
hides unbound beauty of shattered dreams
Passion is eternal, the forest below the midnight shadow
by roots chained never-dying dream
Wood imperium, great and beautiful
life and belief drowned in the chilly night
I fear the light, I was always loving night
thus don't douse the stars for the piece of morning
Dark night-the muse of my words
I walk through the sombre forest with her, robed in silence
To pass the land of woods, where moon touches cold stones with his lips
Where whir of water is heard, that shriek which springs from decaying rocks
Words cannot represent what thought looses
so let be led and hear
Passion is eternal, the forest below the midnight shadow
by roots chained never-dying dream
Wood imperium, great and beautiful
Beyond the window of your thoughts
from deepest shadows of the waste swamps
by the eyes of whitebeard to the espied space,
oasis of silence, that crystal beauty of solitude, I gaze
I am an opened book, mind including of all
a desire fleshed in knowledge
An uncovered spring accessible to each
Majestic shrine so distant for that who don't see
Not everybody can enter to the hall of infrequent
where is allowed to peer into itself
Profoundness is denied to the blind
can't be understood without the self-belief
In your weakness you're seeking the god
The cause of your spiritual torments is material
Don't willing to see, don't want to hear
You're vain and I despise with ye
The gates are agape opened
Is permitted to come in who opens the eyes
Finished will be roaming on the wrong paths
I am an uncovered spring accessible to each
Majestic shrine so distant for that who don't see
I won't weep for your blindness
I am the one that will forgive myself
Not everybody can enter to the hall of infrequent
where is allowed to peer into itself
We are sooth great in our scruffiness
never can be butterfly altered to eagle
Thousand of subsistences
so blind and vainglorious
We are just a grain of sand
carried by the wind in the vast desert
We are falling into the void of our pride
The light of wisdom is hidden from the sight
astral world's gates are still closed
Imprisoned by our material existence
we are loosing the wings of spiritual being
"We are sooth great in our scruffiness"
Peer into your heart
and your eyes will see.
Lot of things are between the heaven and the earth, there
but just abiding ones can understand
We are doomed to live in darkness
In the times of ancient prophecies
when the taught found its tangibility
The eternal tale, beautiful in darkness,
born in the dusk begun
On the wings of storm, in the dark clear night
the land is trembling, bird of prey yells
Neigh of horses savaged by abhorrence
beyond the limits of earboundaries rises the paining wail
The last sabre of beams melting in tortures
day is dying and his mastery's might
Moon has flowered in the lament of sun
and purple dream, so falls the night
Under the forest walls; the knight nocturnal
by vesture shrouds the land into the awe
The nomad by sadness wandering in time
Arcane herald of misfortune
Temple of pain, strong and alone
the kingdom of shadow where no forgiveness is
Temple of pain, strong and alone
emperor of evil dreams, spiritual darkness
He cuts the clouds on a black horse
His sword's splendour; seems to be eternal
Within ourselves everyone bear
the origin of our misery
Temple of pain, strong and alone
the kingdom of shadow where no forgiveness is
Temple of pain, strong and alone
