Kiss sodden & honey glazed tongues
To God our sighs translate to cries
We're cursed therefore we thirst
We toast with lust held high
Ardor is a hanging fruit
We taste. We sigh.
And heed not nature's intended use
My unapologetic sinner
Who whispers, "enter"
Passion waves it's scepter & moral dies
On clouds we lay & cover in blankets of stars
The wages of sin received in full
We blush like a rose. Why? Only God may know
We wilt in each other's arms. Why? Only the Greeks may know

Dead Flowers Held Sacred

By Marquis Smith

D.F.H.S. details romance and same-sex love (also the title to my compilation of writings). I can imagine this being spoken. Dispensed of heavy metallic sound to evoke the presence of dark romanticism. Maybe some soft piano. I feel this would make a good album opener. Heavily inspired by early My Dying Bride. No rhyme scheme. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Death/doom metal/gothic metal.

Lamentations

By Marquis Smith

"Lamentations" depicts an outsider. Though this person is alive they feel dead inside. This represents depression at it's lowest form. This person never got the help they needed. And things take a turn for the worst in the end. Purposely written vague. This piece is heavily inspired by bands like Opeth. No rhyme scheme here. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Progressive death metal/progressive rock/progressive metal.

The Wingless Bird

By Marquis Smith

"The Wingless Bird" contains grief & despair. Yes, this is where hope dies. The individual dreams of a better life. Forget it! He is awoken only to find reality! And we all know reality hits like a ton of bricks. Classic AABB & ABAB. Heavily inspired by Paradise Lost. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Death-doom/gothic metal.

Lost Song

By Marquis Smith

"The hurting ones always roam unchaperoned", a rather dark sentiment that echo through the entire piece. This person feels that even hope itself has betrayed them. They feel alone and abandoned. "Don't talk me down from the ledge," the author solicits... rather literal or figurative, I'd let the reader decide. Heavily influenced by early Anathema. No rhyme pattern throughout. Their character's cry is his lost song. Preferred genres (but not limited to) gothic metal/alternative metal/experimental.

Just Like My Daddy Raised Me

By Brian Hendrix

A song I wrote about how a lot of people tell me I look and act like my father. I think this is something a lot of men can relate to, how we end up our father's sons. I'm really happy with how this turned out. It's one of those songs that hit home more for me now since my father passed away. It's a classic style of country song here, to be sure.

Lügennebel

By Ulrich Bergau

Sie kommt zu ihrem, unter Drogen stehenden Freund, der hilflos dem Gift verfallen ist. Sie versucht ihn zu bewegen aufzustehen, um ihre Hilfe zu unterstützen, ihn aus dem 'Nebel der Lügen' herauszubringen. Antidrogen Song
