Poetry from a confused heart

LUST

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear.
Let me tell you of my sin;
My carnal desire.

Breaking commandment after commandment
As lust blinds my eyes.
I’m hungry for flesh,
Warm-skinned with desire.

Not before marriage
Oh Daughter of God.
Not before Marriage
Thou shalt not.

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear.
Teach me about sin;
This carnal desire.

My body beats to a delicious pulse
As my heart drowns in lust.
I long for another…
To see our flesh become one.

Not before marriage
Oh Daughter of God.
See it is written
Thou shalt not!

But oh how I long…
Naked flesh on naked flesh
How can this be wrong?
What is sin anyway?

I’m burning with need
Fiery carnality.
Human desire.
Driven mad by flaming passion.

I crave release
One way or another.
My lascivious nature
Craving another.

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear
I need some advice
On this lustful need.

Not before marriage
Blessed Child of God
See it is written
Thou shalt not!

My dear Lord give me strength
I fear I cannot stand it;
My lust-stained innocence
So clearly on show.

Father forgive me
Your child has sinned.
I feel so lost!
Why do you mock me by holding your silence?

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear,
Whilst me cheeks blush with shame
For my lascivious nature.

Always the same answer
Not before marriage
For my child it says in this book
Thou shalt not!

I’m sick of these rules.
Why! God. Why!
Father in Heaven
You created me!

Surely you know the answer.
Please Lord, Don’t echo the rabbai.
I’ve heard it before.
Child of God, not before marriage.

I’m sick of religion
With its stuffy old rules.
With its ‘bless you dear child’s
And ‘Thou shalt not’s.

Call me a heretic
I’m beyond caring.
But Jesus wasn't one
To play by the rules.

Don’t get me wrong!
I love you dear Lord.
I gave you my life
At the start of 04.

I meant every word.
I’m washed by the blood.
A child of God.
My name is written in the lambs book of life.

I’ve gone too far.
Heretic, Heathen, Unbeliever.
I’ve heard it all before.
I’m sick of religion,
But I still love God.

Father forgive me for I have sinned.

UP THE IRONS!

I saw Iron Maiden perform live at Newcastle's Metro radio arena on the 17th December 2006.

I can say safely that their set made up for having to sit thru nearly an hour of Trivium before hand. I have little respect for someone who feels it necessary to say fuck after every second word.

Lauren Harris's short support set was really good in terms of sound quality but I do suspect this may have something down to being on tour with daddy (Maiden's bassist). Her set wasn't anything spectacular but it was tolerable more so then Trivium.

Anyhoo back to Maiden, when you see these guys perform live you realise precisely why it is that they have lasted as long as they have. The show was incredible and despite having seated tickets rather then being in the thick of it all I had an awesome time.
Highlights included Eddie rising up in a massive tank turret from the back of the stage and Fear of the Dark! There is something incredible in expereinceing a sold out gig singing their hearts out in reply to Bruce's encouragement. Not to mention the whole arena chanting Maiden at the top of their collective lungs.
Fantastic!
I love the community atmosphere at a Maiden gig with atleast three generations if not four making eye contact and bursting into chants of Maiden, Maiden, Maiden as the house lights went down!

UP THE IRONS!
