though i walk thru the valley
in the glow of love
i see not the truth
pursue always the dove
of peace and tranquility
illuding me endlessly
and time becomes
my prison cell
an infinite hell
and i am the demon
of self-judgement
condemning myself
for ignorance, in ignorance
because i will not believe
in me

though i walk thru the valley
in the shadow of fear
i bend a knee
and shed a tear
in obediance
to the lord of my life
the source of my strife
with myself
and i am helpless
and hopelessly mired
in confusion, my chosen illusion
for grief and i am striken
to immobility
no one can save me
but me
and yet i bend willingly
to fear

though i walk thru the valley
in the shadow of hate
i will fear no evil
for i am evil incarnate
destroyer of dreams
smasher of hopes
i pollute my own soul
then creatively cope
thriving in disollusionment
i strike my loved ones
as i strike myself
i give them violence
they show me a wealth
of self-degradation
the emotional destruction
of my will
my wanton delight
i drive myself eagerly
towards the night
the infinitely glorious night
of self damnation

though i walk thru the valley
of my lifes twilight
i fear not death
for i am light infi-night
the pheonix fire burning
for all eternity to see
i die to my illusions
they have no power over me
alpha omega
child who is god
joys glorious crier
damnations rod
in me all life begins
history transcends
consciousness extends
eternally.......
and when eternity hath grown weary
and still, to me, there is no end
i will dream a new dream
and begin all over again
