Lilith My QueenLilith My Queen:

In darkness she called me
My life she did bind.
Lilith my Queen;
My soul was consigned...

By blood we were sealed
By hatred defined!
We killed in her name
For this angel of mine.

Her wings were the darkest
They bore chains of steel.
Through darkness my wounds
And my scars she did heal.

In nightmares she whispered
They broke me in time.
She tore out my heart
And ripped out my mind.

All through the black winter
This one frosted night
The heavens did weep
For the death of the light...

-Chen Yuan Wen, 10th March 2012

The Kraken's SeaThe Kraken's Sea:

In the deepest night our ship was sailing
Quietly through the moonlit sea.
Until we saw the monstrosity rising
'By the gods, it couldn't be!'

From the watery depths we heard it shriek;
Tendrils arcing toward the sky.
Like harpoons cast toward the heavens
The time for battle was nigh.

My crew prepared the starboard cannons
As I steered my ship through the rumbling tide.
The vicious whirpool which drew us in,
Was the abyss in which the beast would hide.

Soon it began to strike at us;
Tentacles lashing like deadly whips!
Several times we were nearly broken
As it clicked and smacked its horrid lips...

'Fire!' I

I Believe In YouI Believe In You:

You feel like things have gone into the ground
When everything is gone and crashing down.
You took your pain and tried to make it end
But give me one more chance to hold your hand...

See I will believe it...
I know you're strong inside
Just try once to see it
You will believe that-

You will be alright,
And we are all here by your side
We'll take you through those painful days
We soar like birds and fly away hey!

You will know that we're here,
Cause when you open those eyes my dear;
We will all be here
We will all be here
We will all be here...

See once it was so hard to carry on,
But take my hand, my shoul

Disconnect Yourself [Remix]Disconnect Yourself [REMIX]:

Is it so easy to pull your wire
Out from the inside?
(The kiss of Cyanide)

You drank the poison
And lived a lie
(That you could not deny)

Weathering change
Your mind was like stone
But then it started to break...

Now drifting helplessly
You shattered like glass
Knowing that you're fake...

The empty shell, that you grew
Has started to come undone...

Piece by piece
You're breaking apart; and it weighs a ton!

The wire inside me
The blood in my veins
(A memory of an ancient pain)

Knowing that I
Am nothing but a fake
(The self you cast away)

Dreaming of times
When the world was simple
Not simp

No Meaning, Just FeelingNo Meaning, Just Feeling:

It's all just words across the page
You put them together in an angry rage.
You wanted to get these feelings out
But writing's not what this is about...

You're tired of expressing
How you think you feel.
You'd rather just scream
At least it's real....

No sense or logic
Just raw emotion.
Like the churning waves
Of a sleeping ocean.

Destroy the structure
Of all you say.
Take away the illusions
They get in the way...

Just say what you think
And you might go free.
But maybe this isn't how it's supposed to be...

"Is it really not possible, to scream through words?"

-Chen Yuan Wen, 21st April 2012

My Eternal CurseMy Eternal Curse:

Since the time I was awakened,
From the dawn I lived and breathed.
I have always walked alone,
For I carry a dark disease.

No matter where I go,
No matter where I'm born.
Always it will reveal itself,
Always I am torn.

The moon will shine from cloudless heavens,
And soon the change will take it's place.
My fangs will grow and fur will sprout,
It is my deep and dark disgrace...

Silverback, they called me,
Bane of men and beast alike.
Knights and templar, each and all,
Sought to have me on a pike.

I've killed so many countless men,
They are faceless in my waking dreams.
Bones shall litter the depths of my la

Struggling at LifeStruggling at Life:

We're reaching out for stars
In the depths of the night.
We're struggling at bars
Shut away from the light!

I've seen the way we act
When we are fighting for our lives.
But we're killing all our brothers
On the point of our knives.

I've seen the violence
Spewing from the poorest of peaks.
We are the rats, caged up
In the darkness we seek-

A little path, a little home;
Just a place to call our own.
Everything we ever tried
Try to win before I die.

Hopeless, lost; shot from the skies
I am the martyr, burned for the sin of their lies.
I am the people, screaming for the justice be served
I am the sound that

The Walk of Utter ShameThe Walk of Utter Shame:

My face is hidden by a blackened mask,
As I am taken to stand before the crowd.
Ripped from my face and cast aside,
My features burn in the glaring sun...

"Who amongst you will defend this man?"
I hear a soldier call.
"None of us sir!" The crowd shrieks back,
As to my knees I fall.

"Shame him!" The soldier cries,
As they begin to pelt me with rotten fruits,
"Maim him!" the people scream,
As they kick at me with mailed boots...

I shudder and writhe beneath the torture,
Too pained to even scream in fear.
For this is the punishment that I deserve,
For shaming the honour that I hold dear.

In anger, in ra

Breaking PointBreaking Point:

Who was I to question you to start?
My reflection now we split apart.
Hate the way your looking at my pain;
I hid my tears in the falling rain.

Forget the way I thought I used to be
I see the man now he isn't me.
He's like a ghost with a shaken past
I don't know how he's gonna last.

Sometimes I feel like I'm giving in
I hit the bottle full of naked sin.
I try to lose the hell I'm living in
But now I'm stuck with my only friend.

I spent nights on the window pane
Look at families playin' family games
Wonder why I'm stickin' outside;
I'm just a monster on the inside...

What happened to the dream I used to feel?

I Am So DisturbedI Am So Disturbed:

How long will it burn me,
In darkness cloaked.
Raped by a voice,
Of death it spoke.

The ceiling revolves with words of sorrow,
Draped on the walls, they are creatures hollow.
Screaming and crying, the death we seek,
The eyes that stare, when I fall asleep.

Voiceless whispers and empty sound,
The pattern of drool, that stains the ground.
Endlessly scratching at walls and eyes,
I stare at reflections that breathe to die.

The darkened shadows that seem to stain,
The constant sound of a pouring rain.
Wherever I go, the eyes that lead,
Within me planting a dirty seed.

Again and again I am twisted by sound,
I wa

Eternal Life [Remix]Eternal Life [Remix]:

We are creatures of mortality
Born to live and die.
Yet there are those amongst us
Who resent the last goodbye.

They see it as an end to things;
The call of colder waves.
They have a fear of being trapped;
Locked away in graves.

But deep beneath the buried earth
No one hears you scream.
Pound and smash against the coffin;
End this horrid dream!

Kiss the flower of the reaper
Bear his blissful touch...
Soon you will be wisked away
Warm within his clutch!

But now you know the dreaded fear
Of why we cannot die.
We hear the reaper calling us
That we cannot lie.

In both our dreams and waking nights;
We se

The Traitorous GreybacksThe Traitorous Greybacks:

Shunned amongst the Lycan tribes;
The great betrayers of faith.
We bear the mark of our sinful past
This ancient scar of hate.

We wear it proudly upon our backs
The fur that's ashen grey.
The sign that we have sold our kin
To live another day...

We werewolves live as tyrant beings;
Immortal as we please...
But we alone are forced to bear
This fetid filthy disease.

It eats away at flesh and bone
Until all that's left is sludge.
Lost alone in horrid pain;
Through empty days we trudge.

But we have learnt a secret way
To stop our bitter end...
As long as we can steal a pup
From our blessed neighbour's

Bullies in the HallBullies in the Hall:

Bullies in the hall,
They're really big and tall.
I'm just so afraid to fall...

How I wish,
That I could be,
Free from all this misery...
(Yeah-)

Let me change it up, so you know it's a rap.
I'm really sick and tired, of this bullshit and crap!

I know you've got a taste, for my fear and my pain...
How many times have I cried these tears in the rain!

I speak from words of wisdom, I know it's hard to focus.
When the world is bearing down, like a plague of angry locusts,

You sit, you pray, hoping for a better today,
Tomorrow is another day, 'Save me!' I hear you say.

I've had enough of people that are kickin'

Sweet Bird in A CageSweet Bird in a Cage:

Sweet bird you lived your life in a cage,
Black forces, burned you all away...
How could I sit by and watch you die?
Sleep soundly on the bed where you used to lie.

Your legs and your arms were bleeding,
Burned stump on the night, were you crying?
How sweet was the sound of you dying?
In pools of blood, were you smiling?

Sweet bird you lived your life in a cage,
I wondered, how I used to hate...
Your life and your sweetness inside,
I took your life on that cold night...

Crying all these tears of weakness,
Sweet bird you took on my sickness.
Deep inside of the forest of witches,
You lie in the darkest ditc

You Can't Stop MeYou Can't Stop Me:

Cold, I'm sittin' here,
You see me cut the lights out
Stains on the inside;
I'm tired of being wiped out.

Cleaned, like the stone weathered down in the rain,
You wore me down to my core; now let me bring on the pain!

Uh-huh, now let me turn it slow for you all
Uh-huh, I'm grabbin' at the stars till they fall
Uh-huh, I'm never gonna die; I stand tall
Uh-huh, I'm breakin' through this fuckin' brick wall.

You know, that I will be the voice in your mind.
You know, that it will be the lyrical kind
You see, the way I put my words into rhyme
If I was rapping out of rhythm, man this would be a crime.

So hear, my vo

Surreal RealitySurreal Reality:

The tides that bind a fallen city,
Swirls of vision, animosity...
Lost beneath a silvered glass,
Watch and wait as hours pass.

You find yourself, now surreal,
Surrounded by clocks with a ticking squeal.
You walk to the kitchen, a hand you find,
A platter in which to place your mind.

The microwave dings, the toaster rings,
From the oven you pull, intestinal strings.
You stab with the knife, it ends in your head,
Place your mind into a toasted bread...

You walk to the car, you breathe in deep,
You look into your pocket; the bottle you keep.
You take a long swig, it's a magical drive,
Your soul falls asleep while

Self Righteous SuicideSelf Righteous Suicide:

We're sleeping,
In a cold world,
That has long denied the light.

We isolate,
Each other,
As we walk alone at night.

We plot,
Unholy vengeance,
As we dream of endless death,

We hate,
Our reflections,
As we choke away our breath.

We sleep,
And suffer,
Tormented by our dreams.

Alone,
And frightened,
None shall hear our screams.

So sick,
So vengeful,
A taste that is sickly sweet...

Let me end,
This life,
For hope I shall not meet...

"Why should we alone cry, when angels deserve to die?"

The Sea of DeathThe Sea of Death:

We weathered the dreaded maelstrom,
As the sea displayed her rage.
She danced like a fevered puppet,
Upon her deadly stage...

Within her swirling currents,
My men were cast aside.
Drawn into her hungry maw,
It was then and there they died.

Never had I seen such a thing,
It spoke of darkness before my eyes,
A serpent rose from the watery depths,
As lightning boiled from the skies.

It's screaming call was as a banshee's wail,
It stole the life from our shrieking lips,
Like the chilling touch of death itself,
We fell like slaves before the whips...

Darkness came and darkness went,
My eyes opened to the morning

Such Beautiful People:

Beautiful people, you see and believe
But don't you know that they are rife with disease?
Little maggots, that crawl in their flesh
They walk around with a hole in their chest.

They try to pull you, they push you to be
They make a horror; now it's staring at me!
Abomination in the mirror you see
Are you so sick, that you cannot believe?

Oh! These beautiful people, they make you believe,
But you don't want to catch their horrid disease
Little maggots that crawl in their flesh
You hear the lies on their putrid breath.

Now! They tell you how to live and how you should be
But they're ones who will never be free.
Trapped by the mirror and what they see
Is there a devil called Vanity?

Yeah! These beautiful people, they make you believe,
But you don't want to catch their horrid disease.
Little maggots that crawl in their flesh,
You feel the lies on their putrid breath...

well i tell you something, if i have not told you before, argh memory is failing me at this age

though currently i am not overweight , and i hope to keep it that way, i am actually afraid of skinny people, because of a documentary i saw in my memory, but i don't think it actually existed, but oh well creepy, perfection is just as creeps for me, but ironically, being a girl, i am vain... and i aim for the best of my ability.

*WordOfChen Mar 29, 2012 Professional Writer

Arrr haha, the best kind of girl is neither skinny nor chubby, but instead fit, strong and beautiful.

I dig wonder woman :3
