Hyperion Cartel Poems

Ride a white horse
When you want to fly
Wave goodbye to your pain
As you spiral up high.
...

Our Father who Art in Heaven
Hello? What’s your name?
Since you and Mother Earth divorced
Home-life’s never been the same.
...

Wandering through the street market
Feeling bad for wagging recess
And wondering how to pay my way
Out of this obliterated ad-hoc mess
...

Bareback upon a bourgeois pony
I’m riding with no hands
My eyes are glued to the Holy Grail
And my ascendant deformed fans
...

I’m gonna get to you
I’m declaring the third World War
We’re way long overdue
for bloodlust down to the core
...

I’d chalked Sunday up
To being a bore
When some girl sashayed in
To announce civil war.
...

Your stalking horse awaits you
He’s come to fly you through the night
You better keep watch your back
‘Cause he’s a pretty boy - but
...

We welcome you with open arms
Embrace us with your gore and charms
Swipe that light bulb from the sky
Please hold me close I want to die
...

A crimson dome of murderous red
Sculls the blood of those just dead
The solar systems meld into one
As nightfall engulfs the sun
...

Twelve red roses for the earth
Welcome the third blind-eyed birth
And pity ‘cause it isn’t worth
The cellophane
...
