Voice Of Cassandra

When lightning of my weird love cracks the sky 
and hurls my soul across ten thousand worlds 
I walk bleak waste land of the broken mind 
to fight sad demon of my hungry heart 
in war against vicar of god on Earth 
who tries to enslave our bodies with faith. 

With voice of Cassandra no one can hear 
that radiates from spinning core of the Earth 
I sing ethereal beauty of despair 
through coded prophecy of naked power 
against the vampire priest on throne of gold 
who sucks blood from lost children of the world. 

Because I leave no footsteps in red sand 
in struggle to transcend bleak Nothing Land 
my heart screams at blind mother of despair 
who beats my mind with fist of hungry fear 
till demon wings wrench from my twisted spine 
so I sing with voice of angels through love. 

Ten million people thirsty for my blood, 
who love the vampire priest they venerate, 
howl loud with rage when I climb pyramid 
and smash stone idol of his global power 
that shatters reputation of his mask 
in gleaming mirror shards that reflect pain. 

Alone in bitter waste land of the mind, 
last wingless angel on the desolate Earth, 
I plaster sorrow of the voiceless dead 
as mask of beauty that hides my soul void 
when I stand silent on stage of false dreams 
and sing with beautiful voice of despair. 

With voice of Cassandra no one believes 
I proclaim foul sins of the vampire priest 
who wears white robe in temple of sweet faith 
to protest his oppression of our souls 
so children lost in foggy maze of myths 
unite to break the chains of fear he forged. 

On trembling legs of aching lust to live 
I walk forever toward gold setting sun 
that watches me with bright indifferent eye 
because I struggle against bounds of death 
with urgent passion to transcend my rage 
so I can sing sweet spell of timeless love. 

Though I fall weeping on the purple sand 
at memory of life in paradise lost 
when we ate fruit and danced in sparkling rain 
I rise and walk the waste land of the world 
with voice of Cassandra guiding my way 
to find you by our lake of honest love.
