For the Horde!

Come join the Horde! Yeah I’m talking to you!

Join the legions of the Undead and Orcs

The Tauren, Blood Elves, Trolls and Goblins too

Don’t go with the Alliance – they’re all dorks

We take up blades for honour and glory!

Everyone greets you with ‘Lok'tar Ogar’!

You want fighting, drinking, food and money?

Then take the trip down to Orgrimmar

We’ll ride from the Outlands and to Northrend

We’ll go take on Deathwing and the Liche King

We won’t fall nor to anyone’s will bend

Because we’ve got your back when you’re raiding

Now some say we’re violent, ugly and crass

But who cares? We still kick all kinds of ass!

I lost my girlfriend to Jesus Christ

It’s all over – Nothing to do or say

Gone is my job of making her happy

Getting back together – is there a way?

Could think about it but it might kill me

A million miles away is her face

Going ahead with her wonderful life

And, for me there’s no longer a place

And that thought alone cuts deep like a knife

Could say something but I don’t feel like it

Just hope she feels warm in her sleep tonight

I thought this one would work – and be legit

But yet again, the dream has taken flight

There’s nothing to do: I’ve done all I can

And thus I’ve lost out to a better man

Whispers

A door many have already stepped through

What happened to them one can’t comprehend

Don’t think if this is the right thing to do

Just come on in and meet your new best friend

Words are uttered in an English broken

Don’t care ‘bout your name or where you’ve come from

Not the first time these words have been spoken

Just don’t leave until the pain is all gone

Life ceases to exist. Fingers touch ice

A heart is stripped of all its emotion

With movements automated and precise

Just sit right back and go through the motion

Suddenly not feeling at all too well

So shut your mouth and fall under the spell

The Author

In the beginning there was an idea

It cut through the darkness with a beacon

It found its voice and it began speakin’

Words tumbled out with a purpose so clear

Words that could not be destroyed or halted

Words that formed into that which must be told

To form more ideas – more precious than gold

And once they knew how to walk, they bolted

Life was created with a waving hand

Universes were born with just one thought

Characters came and their voices they sought

And they walked on to forge legends so grand

And as long as there are words to apply

Ideas will never stop, falter or die

Limping to the Finish Line

Legs have been crippled. Bones have broken.
Constant hard work has left the hands tortured
Dry throat has no words left to be spoken
But the feet stagger in one way: Forward
I do this with the best I can muster
I give every last drop of blood and sweat
Some might say these words are all bluster
But nothing will break from the path that’s set
Some won’t like it but I’m beyond caring
Every last bit of effort I commit
Let them say all the words they’re declaring
This is my best, pal – like it or lump it

I don’t really care about victory
Because I claiming this triumph for me

Can’t spell confidence without the con

Well it’s happened yet again: Disaster
Yet another plan’s blown up in my face
My dreams have fallen, I’m left in disgrace
With but the remains of a non-starter
I really thought this one would work this time
What was I thinking? I must’ve been a fool
Asking for a break? What a laugh! Life’s cruel
You know, it’s funny how high hopes can climb
Who was I kidding? It was a dumb plan
What a chump I was to think I could win
It was only me I was deluding
How foolish it was to think that: ‘I can’

And so with my high hopes forever gone
I head back to the slime where I belong

All For You

 I will come for you in the midnight hour

I will come to lead you into the night

I’ll lead you to a field bathed in moonlight

And let the seeds of love burst into flower

Up towards the heavens we cast our gaze

To see the stars painted across the sky

You feel my heartbeat and I hear you sigh

Both imprisoned in a romantic maze

Alone with each other: Two hearts smoulder

The world has stopped just for us it would seem

Close your eyes my darling and claim a dream

Your hand on mine, your head on my shoulder

There may as well be none else in this world

Take my hands in yours – watch this love unfurl

The Siren

Hearing timbers creak from a ruined ship

Flat on my back looking up at the stars

Cast adrift with nothing left within grip

Nursing a heart cut with a hundred scars

She sits on a rock in the pale moonlight

She said sweetly she was waiting for me

Across many dreams and many a night

I, no one else, was her one and only

I tried my best – I did – to cross the rift

But destiny decided where I stay

Did she notice when I was cast adrift?

When she’s never to be touched who can say?

Her song will go on for eternity

As she continues on waiting for me

Like a Bridge

When I think of you it makes me happy

Reading your emails make me smile

You play Daytona USA with me

Each moment spent together: worthwhile

And I love hearing your voice on the phone

And you hear my stories from the Isle

You make me happy; My sadness has flown

You’re fun to walk the streets of Melbourne with

Stick with me and you’ll never be alone

It’s something so strong: Let us start forthwith

These words I write for every one is true

For it is to you, my heart, that I give

The house on the corner

The street I live; there’s a house upon

Dull, colourless it looks like a jail

The letter box is filled with untouched mail

Rubbish is strewn across a messy lawn

There’s cars parked outside but no one goes in

Paint’s peeling and the roof’s in disrepair

Can’t recall when someone was living there

And the front door is always left open

Through the windows reveal a sorry scene

There’s trash on the floor. Furniture long gone

And when the night falls no curtains are drawn

The only light comes from a TV screen

Is anyone living there? Who can tell?

But the house keeps its secrets guarded well…

Video Store

It resides within a darkened corner

At the end of a lane where few dare to tread

It had a store name but now it’s faded

Its windows are as black as a mourner

There’s no way to see in: Step through the door.

But it only opens at the dusk hour

Once inside it smells of a dead flower

And the shadows dominate by the score

There’s no kid friendly stuff within these halls

Only the stare of demons and nightmares

Of a thousand murderers. And the gaze

As faces etched with fear scream from the walls

When you leave it’s quick: Sprint back up the lane

But the store knows that you’ll be back again

Too Good to be True

My lover came knocking on my front door

With a bouquet of roses in his hand

He said beautiful was the dress I wore

And things only my heart could understand

He asked me about my day and my friends

That a booking for dinner had been made

His touch makes my heart race. The kiss he sends

He holds me and I’m no longer afraid

He says he’ll be there for me. He does care

I hear his heart beat when I hold him tight

The adoration is beyond compare

But in my heart something doesn’t feel right

He’s too good to be true. Thus we must part

My hands on the knife rammed into his heart

Wandering Through Heaven

Today I played guitar with Dave Mustaine

Talked to Alice Cooper on things scary

Played drums with Ringo and Nicko McBain

Saw Chuck Norris arm wrestle Mr T

I told Whitney Houston her voice was nice

Got to spar with Evander Holyfield

Talked ‘bout vampire fiction with Anne Rice

Told Tom Hanks how much his acting appealed

I discussed action movies with John Woo

Told Weird Al Yankovic he made me grin

Discussed physics with Isaac Newton - True

And told Don Bluth I loved Secret of NIMH

In a place people are pleased to see me

And tomorrow’s looking good already

An army of demons and a loaded rifle

One for the image they told me to reach

Two for all the friends who never came back

Three for all the time spent on the wrong track

Four for the life lessons they tried to teach

Five for all the potential left unused

Six for the hearts that have been left broken

Seven for the lies that have been spoken

Eight for the many offers left refused

Nine for the circles that kept me way out

Ten for the hate I so easily bred

Eleven for all those who want me dead

Twelve for those left disappointed, in doubt

And this army will arrive on this day

But I’m ready – I’m not running away
