Orenthra's Birth

In the age of loneliness and sorrow,
Was a whipped deplete tribe
That lived
They mourned and hoped for the new tomorrow,
They lurked and prayed
To see…

There were flying dragons and armored fiends,
Who made their way from the north
For a kill…
They butchered and beheaded all as they carried,
Blood on their swords and daggers
If you see…

The tribe, deprived, and mourned as they’d lost,
Their women, sons, closed ones
And family…

Sadness subjugated as hope had eluded but no one could know…
That was the night when all had gathered together, the devil, the demon and the ghosts.
And to summon all deaths and frights, was born with her first breath and sights
filled with hope that would relinquish the twinge and bend the bleakness of orphans whine.

She cleaned and healed the tribe with love, and all sang the holy songs…
They’d sacrificed the mourns of the bygones, the lost, the pain and the tragedy.
And yet they were haunted by the same fears they were stronger in their minds
filled with hope and agony that would vanquish the upcoming shadows of the deep dark rhymes.


And then they were back from the north
Those dragons and armored fiends,
For their kill…
The tribe was prepared for redemption
To justify their power and rage they had
To be…

And as they entered whistling the woods,
they had the same old prophecy,
To kill…
And the armed ones surprised, their balls dropped off,
when they saw their dragons bleed,
To death…

There she was standing with those eyes,
that howled their names and a surprise,
As she…
Tilted her palm and made them growl,
They yelled for their lives,
And pled…

Orenthra,
No!
Orenthra,
No!

Skid Row

Sebastian Bach, the voice of the band Skid Row, was one of the best of his time of metal and rock. Bach, known for his voice and hard-hitting lyrics, is also known for many other incidences that add to his fame. During the late 80's when the band did not have a lead vocal, the bands guitarist Dave Sabo approached his friend Bon Jovi for the role. Bach was noticed when he singing in the wedding of rock photographer Mark Weiss. Later years, Bach was criticized for performing wearing a T-shirt which read "AIDS kills fags dead" which he claimed that he was not aware if he was wearing it. Bach has performed with GNR and Metallica on the same stage.

Bach was fired from the band when he agreed on performing for a show where Skid Row was to perform in an opening act. This was the concert for the legendary band KISS. But, the bandmates did not agree upon Bach's dicission telling him that Skid Row was too big for performing the opening act. Bach left a message on one of the bandmates anserwing machine telling him that the band was never enough to open up for KISS. Ironically, four years later, Skid Row was one of the opening acts for the KISS Farewell tour.

To Bid You Farewell



I am awaiting the sunlight
Gazing modestly through the coldest morning
Once it came you lied
Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops

I stand motionless
In a parade of falling rain
Your voice I cannot hear
As I am falling again

Devotion eludes
And in sadness I lumber
In my own ashes I am standing without a soul

She wept and whispered: "I know..."

We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed is for you?

Face Of Melinda

By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise

Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She had sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother

And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face

Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness nigh

I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay

Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine

Strange. It's an awesome song from the band Opeth. I was flabbergasted when I read its meaning. I was numb.
