I am the curse
The chaos within
The is no reason left
To even begin
Forget the past
Erase what might become
Everything inside
Has come undone
Swallow my soul
Burn my heart in the flames
I cannot keep up
With all of the games
Surrender I must
Retreat from my plan
Unfortunately it is time
To start over again
Oh wait, what is this? A last minute submission from a fellow Ohio rocker, JUSTIN EUGENE, from the band
EXIT DODGE, a Columbus-based band that I have had the pleasure of sharing a stage with on several
occasions. Justin has a dark motif about his writings, not unlike my own. Do yourself a favor and take a
moment to check out his band after for more of his work here: https://www.facebook.com/exitdodge. Here
is just a taste of what you will find woven into the tapestries of Rock and Roll these guys bring. This is just a
snippet from a song of theirs called “Blood Moon”:
BLOOD MOON
By Justin Eugene
Face down in a leech bed
Blood let and well fed
Awakening anxious
Only fearing the unsaid
Left for the dogs
Buzzards in hordes
Never circle the tainted
Like they did these ripe corpse
Erect to firm footing
Upon rancid earth
Mounting demonic mares
They rise in rebirth
Their unbeating hearts
Compliment empty veins
From the bogs they ride hard
Horror struck, acid reigns
