The Ultimate Gift

[Lanaia]

It has been said that your name and beauty would be immortal

Helen, a daughter of a God, but you are half human too

You, Helen of Troy, untrustworthy to the very your very core

It is said that you launched a thousand ships, with your beauty to the sea so petty and blue.

You would defy your husband,Manleus,by being in the arms of another

Daughter of the Greek God Zeus, in the arms of a Trojan

You have tuned your back on me and your people by submitting yourself to another

Especially in the arms of Paris, a Trojan.

My queen,how could you do me wrong?

Just as you did to me, you used your beauty to captivate him too

How could you go to another's arms to which you did not belong?

Your beauty alone has made many men pay their dues.

You have tricked and enticed many other men

You, Helen the queen of Sparta, how could you stoop so low?

To keep you beauty it is evident you would commit any sin

To maintain your undying beauty, to look to others as you would always glow.

You wanted to be made immortal by your beauty

Knowing of you beauty, you thought you could obtain anything

But you thought you beauty would not get in the way of you doing you duty

Immortal beauty, to this you will always cling.

I was in the arms of a trojan the other night.......no wait, the trojan was in me....heh.

Just kidding.

Nice piece of work by the way!

I enjoyed much. Yes I did.

Keep posting these!

[Homicidalheathen]

Ah, gothic love and the dating life. Nice. Thanks!

[Lanaia]

As I sit here looking out my window, my thoughts are of you

You are always on my mind, since the grim reaper called you away

Outside my window, a winter scene, right before my eyes, directly in the path of my view

I can't help but think of you each and every day.

Outside my window, stand one solitary tree

The winter, the limbs are now bare

So desolate and lonely, in the snow, the tree seems to be

The bare limbs reaching out as if to say please you still care.

I imagine the desolate tree in the snow to be you

Trying to reach out to me from another realm

Telling me you too are sad and blue

Grasp life, take control at the helm.

So, sad and lonely, the ice being the tears, that the tree once shed

Oh, the anguish, the desolation, can't you see

Reaching out saying, I need love, companionship, I need to be fed

I also remember, another spring will come, bringing life the way it should be.

The tree, telling me, remember life goes on, the sun will shines once again

Do not despair, I am in a far better place

We shall be united once again

Spring will come, life will continue, so do not despair, the tree now doesn't look so bad now in it's background of the snowy lace.

[Lanaia]

I have secretly watched you grow from a child to a beautiful young woman

I have longed for you and wanted you from the very start

I have to convince myself is the right time to set you on the shelf of immortality, and make your existence infinite like a circular wedding band

I love you and always have and I want to give you the gift of eternal youth, see this comes directly from my heart.

Eternity I hand to you on a silver platter

Never again sickness or pain, never growing old

Do not fear me, I want to save you! From me you need not deter

So trust me, never from me should you remain aloof.

Everyone in your family gave me an honor by trusting me

That opened the door so I could be close to you

This way no one would ever suspect anything of me

I could easily sneak you away, and then you getting away from me, my dear, your choices would be very few.

You have grown so quickly like a fast growing climbing vine

Your beauty, I get lightheaded, it actually takes my breath away

So immortality must be yours, eternal youth should be yours, because you are so refined

I gained your trust that way I wouldn't scare you away.

I have tried to convince myself all day long what I am about to do for you is right

I am going to take you away from this awful life of sickness and pain

Sending you to a place that is filled with beautiful bright light

I will release you, and you and your beauty within another domain will forever remain.

[Lanaia]

What on earth is this I see?

Body of a lion, head of a man

Looking as if you are protecting everything as far as the eye can see

Majestic proudly standing, instilling fear to those that would dare challenge you as you guard the sands.

No one really knows why you were built or why you are here

No one being able to explain what your existence means

Looking as though in all your enemies you would instill fear

I would love to know through all the years what you have seen.

If you could talk the all the stories I bet you could tell

Staring down on the desert observing everything

I wonder if you had a soul if it you would sell

To hold on to the secrets to which you cling.

I'd be willing to bet your main function was to guard the tombs of the kings

Keeping out those who would dare defy you

Always letting slip from your eyes, that fearful sting

To protect those of which your loyalty was totally true.

You have seen and observed so very much through the years

Never to betray the secrets from your ancient land

Never giving up those things which seem so clear

You, this place, the secrets everlasting between time and space.

[Lanaia]

Yawning and stretching as I awaken in an unfamiliar place

Wondering to myself how on earth did I get here?

I'm in a field of white flowers looking like white lace

I don't understand as my essence fills with fear.

I walk down a path and get an unexpected surprise

In the distance I see you as you wait

But I watched you take your last breath and die

Thinking you had an unfair fate.

I finally go to a clearing nearer to you

What is this place all covered with marble and stone?

Knowing that you died in the ocean so blue

But here you are beside me, this chills me to very bone.

You come to me and take my hand

Still not believing this is true

You saying to me"We are on a new adventure in this new land"

I really want to wake up from this dream about you.

So real this situation seems

Me in your arms once again

Am I playing some kind of game?

You have passed to a different dimension my friend.

[Lanaia]

The old clock in the tower chimes as eerie sound

I try to hasten my walk across the bridge as it seems a fog bank has moved in

I walk faster as behind me I think I hear a sound

It sounds like distorted footsteps as they are distorted by the blowing wind.

The fog makes the street light illuminate an eerie haze

Making the feeling of fear and being afraid intensify

Now I'm at the park, that is good. because the paths here seem like an unending maze

Perhaps this will give me a chance for you, I can defy.

As I walk in the grass, it is moist from the dew

As I head for a path, I hope you won't be able to detect me

I know you are following me for this I need no review

As I walk I try to be as quiet as can be.

Then I see a shadowy figure under the street light

The street light I just passed, the one directly behind me

At this point I had no idea soon for my very life I would have to fight

You catch up to me but I have no where left to flee.

As you are right beside me, I look up into your blood shot eyes

I feel your hot breath on my face

I feel the sharp pain in my chest as I die

Now I will go to a different time, a different place.

[Lanaia]

I am of people like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the like

But they were careless and dumb enough to get caught, but no not me

They were messy and didn't pick the right time to strike

I was trained in anatomy so my murders were very precise, see.

I was never messy or uncertain in what I did

The others were stupid because they got caught

I watch all this from my perch in hell, because this is where I was destined to go because of what I did

Ladies of the night were my prey, women no one would miss and for any price they could be bought.

I feel most of the others murdered on a whim,and not carefully thought out

I was very sure in what I did, the police they just made me laugh

My victims never suspected me because they didn't know what I was all about

If I could have taught the others, I would have taught them well and made them part of my staff.

I kept a few souvenirs as a reminder of what I had done

They were to remind me of my acts, as I congratulated myself of my precise work

I only took five lives but boy did I have fun

So ladies of White Chapel, beware of the darkness where I would lurk.

If I were still alive I would have shown the others a thing or two

My name remains immortal showing I was the master, everyone knows or has heard my name

To be precise, not to get caught, me making mistakes they were very few

You know my name, Jack the Ripper, one in the same.

[LuluVox]

Oh, I thought it'd be the Ice Truck Killer. [/Dexter reference]

[Lanaia]

As I walk across the old Victorian bridge, the air seems to emit some kind of evil

I hate to be out this late at night all alone

My mind tends to play tricks on me with things I do not wish to deal

I try and walk faster on the bridge all made of stone.

I hear the clock in the old tower as it chimes midnight

The witching hour, when things of the supernatural are supposed to happen

This sends a chill up my spine, so I step to rest under a street light

But like you, I was raised to believe things of this origin just don't happen.

It is so foggy, even with the street light I can't see very far in front of me

This just makes my imagination run more wild and rampant

I am afraid, so I look around, everything so far as I can see is as normal as can be

But I swear I can hear something as it breathes and pants.

What I hear? I am not sure, but I feel a great feeling of fear

The sounds I hear make me very aware of my surroundings

I see something coming toward me, what this is on this I am not clear

It seems to be of human form, but I can't move, frozen with fear I won't be fleeing.

As it moves closer, the figure is all adorn in black

You are very near now, but I never see your face

You say nothing as you seem to glide toward me, then you grab me around my throat, your hands very much in tact

As you cut off my air, why I don't know, but as you cut off my air, I know you don't listen to any of my pleas.

[Lanaia]

Why are you making me do this against my will?

You know me well because for this I would have never volunteered

You try and tell me my sacrifice about this I should be thrilled

As we walk you push others out of the way to make my pathway clear.

You tell me the Gods have ordained your choice in me

That this act bestowed on me is the greatest honor I could ever have

I am only twenty-one I don't want to die I want to live, see

You tell me this honor bestowed on me is the greatest gift in life or death I could ever have.

You take me to a big room with people to help prepare me for the ominous honored act that lies in store

They wash me, prepare my body with oils, and the sweet smell they put in my hair

They give me a drink and I'm not scared like I was before

There is a blue feathered boa among the things I must wear.

We slowly ascend the stairs to the alter and I feel totally different now

There are people on each side and as we walk they bow

They pay me respect knowing to appease the Gods next I will be knocking on their door

Everyone kneels at my feet to pay respect, they know disrespect is not allowed.

Guided to the altar, someone helps me out of my boa, and I lie flat on the cold piece of stone

The high priest standing over me offers me another drink

After that I feel a sharp pain as I moan

Above me I see the knife dripping with my blood, as I take my last breath and my eyes their last blink.

[Lanaia]

I was one of the lucky ones to have been hand picked by Satin him self

I made a pact the devil to serve right by his side

He has promised me all kinds of things including riches and wealth

My life he guaranteed will be one sweet ride.

To show my appreciation to him I wonder what I can do?

He picked me as his apprentice now I will know everything

I gave him my soul in return for what I'm able to now do

To repay him I must think of the most gruesome deed possible where my victims will feel evil's sting.

It is August of nineteen sixty-nine

In this day and time I should be able to come up with something really good

I will have to include my friends if my idea is really good or fine

My friends I have include because to me they follow and serve me so good.

I'll call Tex,Susan, Patricia,and Leslie on the phone

Telling the how I wish to please my instructor, Lucifer, the fallen angel

Anything we do evil he will condone

You know we are already bound to hell.

I know, I will try to provoke the ultimate war

But to do this I must invoke a specific reason

I used to read literature on Hitler maybe I can use some of his ideas the more I read oh this man, I always want to read more

I would have felt very privileged if I would have been his son.

I decide we shall commit murder and blame it on another race

Then I will have my race war

But I and my friends will stand back and watch it take place

In the end we will have gotten what we wanted, we will be rewarded by Lucifer, I can't wait to see what he has in store.

The first time I ordered murder, I did not go, when at random we picked Sharon Tate and friends

But this wasn't enough, so the next time I went with them to the La Bianca's house,hey I even tied their hands for the others, who had the job to make sure the victims were dead.

In my mind this was the most ultimate gruesome crime

I'm totally convinced if we get caught, my partner from hell will protect me

So any one in Charles Manson's way better take heed

With my connections I can make things turn out the way I want them to be.

The establishment finally figures out we are involved. So what?

I'm not scared! My partner from hell will protect me

But I had no idea my friend, Linda, would turn he back on me

My friends know of the power given to me, I can control anything they do or say

My partner and I will make everything alright,see.

We were all found guilty and sentenced to die

I sit here not worrying, waiting on my partner to come and make everything fine

While I sit here they change their mind about the death penalty, so life in prison, now I won't die

If I were to spend life in prison my hell of what I did would always be on my mind.

So here I sit the one that wanted to be Hitler's prodigal son and fooling myself I was doing so well

He promised to get me out of this, but after he got what he wanted it seems maybe he lied

Oh boy! Life in prison and my soul condemned to burn an eternity in hell

Seems like all the hearsay about you, Lucifer was true and not a lie.

[Lanaia]

You come at me from behind, knife in hand

Trying to take me hostage, figuring you would use me to your sickening way

I should have known better than to come here, being a stranger to this land

I had no fears about being abducted, especially by some deranged person in order just to get their way.

In your sick mind you think you will negotiate with my life

But the needs of the few out weigh the needs of the one

See, no matter what you do, I will be the only one affected by your strife

You probably think abducting me is some kind of fun.

I came to this country thinking I would help others

But I see that was my ignorance and mistake

How could anyone do this to a fellow brother?

In God's eyes we are all his children, but boy did I make a mistake.

In layman's terms you are known as a terrorist

Taking others against their will, abducting them, threatening them, thinking you will get your sick way

You will threaten my life, trying to scare me, before I enter death's vast abyss

You are ready to kill me not really caring just so you can achieve your way.

In the midst of all this, you think your cause is right

But I will hold steadfast, I am not afraid, I just worry about those I will leave behind

But you, you will do anything for your cause, your fight

When you kill me. you think your message will be defined.

[Lanaia]

Bow down before me, honor your queen, the queen of everything dark

My loyal subjects are famine, plague, and pain

I rule from the very pits of hell, on your world I intend to make my mark

So bow, worship me, you will have everything to gain.

I have helped people like Charles Manson, Jeffry Dohmer, Ted Bundy, and the like

These were friends of mine and you see what I did for them

I am the bride of Satan, so follow me and you can have anything you like

Sing your songs of praise for me. sing me a dark dark hymn.

Pledge your allegiance to me, I will make it worth your while

All the materialistic things that I could give to you

I could make your earthly life rich in style

So bow before me, show me your allegiance is true.

Any thing your heart desires can be yours and yours alone

So honor your queen, bow before Lucifer the king

You can serve with us in hell for all the diabolical seeds you have sewn

So make evil known, let others know it's painful sting.

I am the bride of Lucifer, Prince of Darkness

So bow your heads and show respect to me

Come with me and we shall share an evil kiss

Spread darkness, death, and pain and I will make you as happy as can be.

[Homicidalheathen]

The bride of Satan is responsible for diseases....hm.......

[LuluVox]

I prefer charmeuse.

[Lanaia]

I am but a lowly maintenance man

So why should you fear me?

Open your door to me and invite me in

For I am as meek as a kitten, see.

I will fix anything in your home that has gone wrong

So open your door, and I will even take the time to entertain you

Do you like to sing? I will teach you death's frightening song

For you to even think you could get away, your choices would be very

few.

It doesn't matter to me if you are fat or thin young or old

I have a certain appetite that must be fed

I will even stay by your side for awhile as I watch your body grow

cold

Nobody suspects me they have no idea I like to do horrid things with

someone even though they are dead.

Is your air conditioner not working or how about your heater?

Just let me in and I will fix it for you and I will also fix you

I won't beat you up, I'm not a woman beater

To my identity police haven't one single solid clue.

So let me in your home so I may feed my sick hunger

I will be nice and not mess up anything

All of Boston would love to have my phone number

Albert de Salvo is my name better known as the Boston strangler, my

victims to life they all wished to cling.
