Key To The Temple

Do you remember me?

That long lost friend

One you used to care about

One who used to hold your hand

Seems you found a new God
A shit load richer than the last poor sod
But I'll ask you this as I did before
When you have it all, why ask for more
It's sad

So sad

And I used to give a damn
I used to try and be your Man
Then you saw the lights and dropped to pray
Said you'd found a better way

It's a party in fancy dress
Not life trying to say you're blessed
But OK
I'll give your creed its place
If you will just turn and face
The world around you
(Voices..)

I see your pretty face
Wrapped in amazing grace
You make it seem so simple
To be the key to your temple

I Am
The key
To your Temple

Words cannot tame my blood soaked dreams my dear
There is no fear that you could muster to always keep me near
In your Temple I see illusions and tortures of the past
A congregation of the flesh that was never built to last

It always ends this way
It always ends with someone having to die


Auto Trip Down

Synthetic dreams

Set this trip in motion

Through the realms of desire

And misplaced emotions

Back seat journey

Wrecked by illusion, headed south

Mist on these windows

The heart shape of your mouth


Dragging me down


This head has been so many places

Drunk on love with familiar faces

Clinically phased

Demonic eyes glazed

Pushing every limit

And counting down the days


To going down


To going back to change

All that hope deranged

As contortionist memories

Twist their way in to me

I'm dazed

I'm crazed

As the Future mutates

From a beautiful entity

To a dark shade of fate


A pill to kill the pain

Formed this new chemistry

A crack in the soul

Through which I could see

A thousand promises

Made by many, kept by none

The laws of love, sheer emptiness

From father, to mother, to son


I'm dazed

I'm crazed

I want the world to change


I'm confused

And feel abused

Not knowing who's to blame


And this road takes me back

To what I'd left behind

Was this part of the plan?

Or just a piece of my mind?


From Kin To Kong



<a href="http://darkofaydin.bandcamp.com/track/from-kin-to-kong">From Kin To Kong by Dark Ofay Din</a>

A vague souvenir of love lost. A name. A pang of disappointment mingled with delusion and dreams to taunt an iron nerve. Nothing is real when it all feels so very real. The faces switch, attitudes shake the foundations of sanity and you know you are in for one hell of a ride. At first you're lost trying to find the beginning only to dwindle deeper when trying to make it all end.
Then out of the past come those who sowed the seed. Their mere presence is an outrage. They're there to help. They're there to help you go deeper. Savour the pain once more as they pull you back in to their trap. A home built on disloyalty and lies. The cheating rogues dug deep to con their way in to the community. Selling out family and friends to fuel their greed. One will talk of honour while the other empties your pockets. Ready to charge you for ever single nail they'll hammer in to your coffin. A lesson of generosity can be learned from their avarice but you'll always wonder how good they'd be at dodging a bullet.

Only time can piece the soul back together. The mind games, the head trips seem to mellow from force of habit. The skin hardens and as you pull yourself out from the rubble you realise you just don't give a shit any more. You can tread on broken dreams and accept that what you wished for just isn't going to happen. Those trips to headstones no longer make you feel loss but remind you of what is left. The fallen stay in your heart as you keep a keen eye on the living and remember to breathe. Breathe to be ready, breathe because that is what you are designed to do.

At The End Of The Day



&amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://darkofaydin.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-end-of-the-day"&amp;amp;amp;gt;At The End OF The Day by Dark Ofay Din&amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;gt;

I saw those red lights

With childhood eyes

And through your window

You cracked a smile

You hid your breasts with

Strategic hands

And with those lips you whispered

Come back when you're a man


In this world

All boxed and preconceived

I don't think you know what woman means to me


Screaming voices

Pointing blades

Threats of violence

Near every day

Maternal instinct

Just wasn't your game

And to your son you bawled out

Your father was just the same


In this world

All boxed and preconceived

I don't think you know what woman means to me


Fleeting romance

Erotic bliss

The joy of courting

For that first kiss

A broken heart

In caring hands

And those lips that whisper

I'll fix it as well as I can


In this world

All boxed and preconceived

I don't think you know what woman means to me
