Deeply Disturbed
GRiP/AD
        
        
        Well here we are after months of inactivity and writers
 block. Yes welcome.. to DiSTORTED #1, a unheard of unwanted uneeded
 cybermag, Well before i get down to the technical bull shit let me
 give you a little insight into what it took to put this piece of
 litteray crap together!

        3 Month's ago while i was in a little known local group, i
 had this idea for a mag, so i started to call everybody i knew in
 the scene (which was not hard cuz i knew no one!) so after a couple
 of weeks searching for people to help me out, i started recruiting
 local talent and let me tell you i found everybody i needed.

 THE ZAPPER! : CODER, MUSiCAL WIZ, & VGA D0ode.
 STiNGER     : AMAZiNG VGA GOD.

 So with these guys we started to kick around sum idea's, but then i
 lost interest. So distorted was on the back burner as i started my
 group jumping.
        
        Enter THE ZAPPER!, who called my board up out of the blue
 and told me hey i'm ready to code!, damn that sparked my interest
 once again, so i started asking some of the local talent to help 
 us out and the response was tremendous!, everybody i mean everybody
 in the potent 514 helped us out. so here we are 3 months later with 
 this very good cybermag. (i'm cutting it short i know :) Okay
 technical stuff!

 In this month issue there is the following

 - Full sound support (with 5 original .mods for your listening
   pleasure)
 - Nice smooth ansi interface
 - Ansi viewer with scroll back capability

 For the future

 - A choice of interface
 - Vga capability <maybe>

        Ok since Stinger's Vga was TGA wich almost no one can display
 we decided not to use it as the cover, but since it's so awesome we
 decided to put in a seperate zip called ST-DSD01.ZIP i zipped up a
 cheezee little JPEG viewer in it.
        

        Ok so thats about it! go read the mag!  
        

 GREETS GO OUT TO!

 The Zapper!: Damn is there anything you "CAN'T" do?

 Stinger: A little late but worth the wait! :)

 Darkwolf: You helped out like a mother fuck! thanx alot.

 The Duellist: Sorry about the musak, those 669s were great.

 Veritech Knight: Thanx alot for the Vga sorry we couldn use it! :(

 Zorlak: Lit dude x-trordinaire! :)

 Red leader: Thanx for the advice!

 Krypton: A big Hola to you for the cool music.

 Bitter Sacrifice: thanx a bunch!
 
 Maestro and all the eternity crew!
 Everybody who submited!
 
 Sorry if forgot you its either becuz you dont deserve it 
 or i'm just to plain lazy to look at my list! :)

        One more thing the pack reviews fucked up, the iCE pack                                          
 that was reviewed is for the 12-93 aquisition.. sorry for the 
 inconvenience.

The Zapper!
Distorted

     
     HI! This is The Zapper! of Distorted for his credz part!        |
                                                                     |
  Well, in the beginning, I'd like to say a big hey! to DD for his   |
  super ANSI work.  The Main Screen and The Reader was designed by   |
  him.  (I mean the grafx)  The rest, (Color Rolls, Pull Down Menu   |
  Cycler, Banner Switcher etc..etc.. was my ideaz)                   |
                                                                     |
  OK, for now, it's pretty simple, I coded the mag. (All the mag)    |
  with no help from anyone.  (Exept Graphical Way!)                  |
                                                                     |
  For those of you who's interessted in what language this litt'     |
  baby is made, well, It's coded into MICROSOFT PROFESSIONAL         |
  DEVELOPEMENT KIT. A big word for QuickBasic Extended Version 7.1   |
                                                                     |
  OK, I hear you!!! WHAT??? THIS MAG IS CODED INTO LAME BASIC?????   |
                                                                     |
  The answer is YES.  But I dunno why, many people thinks that BASIC |
  is lame.  In fact, it's not LAME.  Hey guys, BASIC has evolued a   |
  lot since the good ol' GW-BASIC!!!                                 |
                                                                     |
  The new VENTURA's POWER BASIC is almost fast as Turbo Pascal!!!!!  |
  No jokes!!! (Well, maybe not almost as fast, but believe me, it's  |
  a lot faster, we got ENVIRONMENTS, COMPILERS, etc...etc... TO!)    |
                                                                     |
  For those who don't believe until they touch (they see!?!?) Well,  |
  this is the living proof, the Mag is blazing fast, and it was all  |
  coded in 'LAME' Basic hehehehe...                                  |
                                                                     |
  Anyways, There's a lot a persons who are BLINDED by Turbo C and    |
  Turbo Pascal, they don't see anything else.  Well, BASIC is slower |
  I admit, but the language is so much easier.  And you can do neat  |
  things too! (Look at the MAG!) It's been 10 years now since I'm in |
  BASIC and I've coded a lot of things! (a Terminal Program, a Typing|
  Tutor, 2 BBS!!!) And they look like professional software and they |
  execute fast.                                                      |
                                                                     |
  In the end I'd like to say, PLEASE STOP THINKING 'BASIC = LAME'    |
  'cause that's not true. (Euh, I mean, that's not true ANYMORE!)    |
                                                                     |
                   Later,                                            |
                                                                     |
                                       The Zapper! 
                                        Distorted                    |

GRiP/AD
        
        
        Well, there's much to say about the group, long time great
group that we call "INSANE CREATORS ENTERPRISES" but lets move a
little to the public's side of view....

        iCE released a 1151k (uncompressed) pack for the month of
December called ICE-1293.ZIP... alot of people were dissapointed,
this pack included only a measly number of 17 ansis and a poor
logo.zip. This will hurt iCE in the point of view for gaining size
on ACiD who brought in the same time its 01-94 release kicking their
ass :) But what happened to iCE? Artists leaving to join Acid, Gothic
and other groups and inactivity gave iCE a small blast.
        
        This will also hurt iCE in the fact that other great groups
(but smaller) such as Gothic, Eternity, Riot, Empire etc... will get
a little gain and stand a actual chance to be the 2nd best known GFX
group in the world (excluding demo groups -> Future Crew :>). Fact
remains that a light position has been cleared for groups who started
out never even thinking of getting close to iCE and ACiD but as you
can see not all groups have their times of difficulty and for some
this may be good. Others can just hope that iCE will get back on its
feet and step back into action because it is pretty far to ACiD.

        With the help of Devil's Spawn and "the iCE trial group" that 
released a fairly good pack we can assume some new talent reaching
iCE and hopefully will continue helping the group but one thing for
sure, iCE is still alive and it will still take alot to beat them to
the 2nd place since the group is still kicking, just softer :) like
in the pack the ansis were great and the VGAs awsome but the quantity
was smaller than "the usual" as we might say...

        Well to add my own opinion, I have a couple of friends in the
iCE crew and hope the best for them and not to get behind on the
competition since I remember the great times of production that iCE
had and I just wouldn't want to see such a group, that has been
around for at least 3 years now, go down. But from the public's
view, its really hard to say how iCE is going to impress everyone
that was dissapointed ...

The Immortal
RELiC/SS
        
        
        What's up y'all?.. this is The Immortal here from Atlanta
plugging a semi-new group by the name of RELiC.  We are based in 404
(Atlanta), but have distro sites/member boards in many other ACs
including 615, 209, 514, 216, and 714.  We seem to be 'laid back'.
Included in the group are divisions of ANSi, VGA, composing, and
coding... As of today we have 14 members, including two art couriers.
Look in the pack for a member/board list.

        RELiC was created in mid-93, but was only a local group for
ansi help in which anyone was accepted.  However, this did not work
out, as several (15-20) members either did not produce anything or
just plain had no potential... so we decided to start anew, and made
everyone reapply using my nifty app generator <plug plug :)>.  We are
looking forward to the applications of hopeful members from all over
the nation, in all of the previously listed areas, including couriers

        In order to apply, just fill out an app with my little
program and either send it up to the nearest affiliate board or u/l
it to our WHQ, The Heretic Asylum. If you have a problem calling THA,
or calling LD at all, call one of our other HQ's.  Currently Channel
Zer0 is the USHQ and Palm of Prophecy is our HQ up in the land of the
leaf.  To see some work by RELiC, check out the pack (if it's out
yet... it's scheduled for Jan 20th) or just look in the RELiC base on
just about any of our sites or HQs.  Also, feel free to call to give
us some feedback or comments on art, coding (the app generator or the
ansi viewer), or just to complain if you can't find any RELiC shit.
Welp, I guess that's about it, later...

        Well best wishes of luck to you all from Darkwolf and the
Distorted Magasine crew.

KRYPTON
GRiP/AD


Yes, I'm a musician. But why?, do we really need this boring music
to waste our time?  Well, YES, and a big fat YES that is! As you
have probably been able to see, there are very few musicians on the
scene, and even less music coders. But why? Let me answer that.

        First of all, I've been on the art scene for 6 years now,
and I've always been implicated in the music section of the scene. I
decided to create my own group at the time, and it was so funny,
that it lasted 2 months. So then, I decided to join another group,
as a musician, since I didn't have the potential to build my own
group. So, I made up contact with Frozen Tormentor, from the [514]
area code, iCE's founder and president at the time. I had asked him
to create a music department in iCE, so I could join, and manage
this department, but he said to me that there was not enough
musicians available at that time to create a whole department in
iCE. So I had to go look somewhere else.

        Then i met Mind Bomb, from Texas, he was in iCE at that
time. I had been speaking to him for a while when we decided to
create 'AMX'. The group went well for a while, but then blew up due
to lack of members. So our dream where completly messed up. Now i
had to go and look for something better. I founded 'MAP', The group
was going good, when I was approched by TEI, a [514] demo group that
had alot of potential. So I dropped MAP, and joined TEI. Things were
fine and all, but then TEI decided to merge with iCE, since BBS
Bouncer had the connections to do so. That's it, I was in iCE, but
not for long because iCE then dropped TEI, and me at the same time.
That was my last days into TEI.

        Then I joined 'HiTS', another [514] group with ALOT of
potential, and that was on it's way to kick some major demo groups
ass. But since the contact between the members was nil, i was
separated from that group too. Since every group i've tried were all
bullshit when it came to music, I had been on my own for a while.
Then The Night Prowler approched me because he was thinkin of
building a kick ass group, and told me he needed me for the music
department. So I joined GRIP/AD, and i'm still with them as time
goes on.

        Well, this is my story, and it's probably a similar story
for all you musicians out there, cause the music scene is not
important enuff to people's eyes. I've seen very few people
unzipping .MODs when they get some in the packs, and that's sad,
because being a musician is quite an awefull job when it comes to
recognition. And there's also the fact that writing music is LONG
and DEMANDING. This is why the scene is so boring for musicians.

        There is maybe a way out of this when I see groups like RAM,
growing very smoothly everyday, and groups like iCE and ACiD paying
attention to guys like CC Catch and The Duellist. I'm also tryin' to
help the music scene by giving a chance to artists like Edge of
Panik to get into Grip/Ad, and demonstrate their incredible
potential. I think the rest of the job belongs to people who care a
little for guys like me, who just want the others to listen to these
songs released every month. I think people should try helping a bit,
groups should offer places for musicians, I can't count the amount
of Application forms, from groups that didn't even mention musician
as a section for applying. Well, that's about it, a big shout out to
all you musicians out there, striving for the best every single time
they release a song. I will be happy to welcome you near me if you
want to make the music scene better.

DARKWOLF
GRiP/AD


DW: Ok! hi.
    
TNP: Hello..

DW: Alot of people still think that GRiP/AD is going to die soon
    what do you think about that?

TNP: The only way GRiP/AD would die is me to kill it. And it
shouldn't ever happen. So there's no way GRiP/AD is going to die
soon. :) But, Seriously, every groups have their ups and downs. Now
last month was the worst one. We lost a few members without gaining
any. But this month we're getting a few members without losing any.
But people don't know about it yet :) It's probably why they still
think we're gonna die soon.

DW: What makes GRiP/AD (current members) so dedicated to stay in the
    group even in the hardest of times (like last month for
    example)?

TNP: Well, once you found a group that you fit in, there's no reason
     you should leave it. It's what I think, and probably all the
     members that never left think the same way. I also think
     GRiP/AD is the only group of its kind. I mean it. There's no
     damn rules, the only thing you have to do is stay alive. If the
     members don't do anything for a whole month it's not a reason
     to kick them out. I think working without pressure is alot more
     comfortable for the members.

DW: Do you think that the departure of Magnetic M and The Duellist
    to ACiD are big losses? Alot of people's rumor about GRiP/AD
    dying was based on that.

TNP: For all small groups [Compared to the big ones] a loss is big.
     It surely did something to the group and since every loss
     happened the same day or so, we were all down a little. But we
     motivated each others, and now we're back to normal.

DW: After those too left, rumors were spreading about two new
    appliants who turned out to be ansi rippers, that story didn't
    get cleared out to many people and I heard alot of different
    stories, could you say something about this?

TNP: Well, the two appliants you're speaking about are Circuit
     Breaker and Maniac. I couldn't speak to them, but they did rip
     their ansis. I am supposed to get some other ansis from them. I
     was told they were "Original" ansis, Not ripped. So after I see
     these I will decide if they will stay in GRIP/AD or not.
     Everyone can make a mistake one day.

DW: Ya, I guess you are right but the way people get treated these
    days for ripping and the fact it was Tempus Thales well it kinda
    messes up a reputation...

DW: What do you think of The Masked Pirate leaving for a <better>
    group after GRiP/AD seamed a little down? Estranged is dead btw.
                               
TNP: Well I spoke with The Masked Pirate voice, but we completly
     lost contact. He said GRiP/AD still could be interesting. But i
     think leaving for another group because the one you're in is
     down is a little, well.. It kinda mess the group more than it
     was. But, well, some people do ansis just to get in the top
     groups. Me, I do ansis just for the pleasure of doing them.
     It's like a drug or something. Sometimes I don't even have the
     time to do some, and I forget everything that I was supposed to
     do and work one ansi. That might sound funny but it's true. I'd
     just wish to be able to come as good as some of the best
     artists and draw whatever I want.

DW: What do you think of the scene these days (original eh?) :)

TNP: Well, the scene.. I've left the WAREZ scene since everyone was
     like: "You don't get 1 day warez, so you're just a lamer!". And
     then i came into the ART scene, and I discovered it was like,
     nobody is a lamer. But still, some people are trying to be the
     <ELiTE> of the area code. Applying for every group, getting
     everything possible, even creating local groups to have more
     affiliations. Then I didn't know what to do exactly. I wanted
     to be in a world where everyone have the same priviledge than
     anyone. But it's impossible. I wish some day the elite leave
     the scene before me!

DW: Ya, well you can't be discouraged by newcomers to the scene
    either since you have to start somewhere, you just need to be
    patient no? Ok, well last question:

DW: With all this talk about GRiP/AD, could you conclude something
    like: What's in it for the future?

TNP: Well I'd say "We're never gonna die" but it's too simple. Well,
     Something I found is trying to find new artists and not wait
     after everyone to find them for you. So in the near future I
     guess there should be more members comming. Maybe a few come
     backs from some who left. I guess you can expect some
     interesting packs in the upcomming months!

DW: Well I sure hope so and wish you and your group good from all
    the Distorted Magasine staff! :)

TNP: Thanks. And I wish you and all the Distorted Magazine staff the
     best of the luck

BiTTER SACRiFiCE
PROPHECY
     
     
     With the art world in it's current state of constant dispute,
it's a wonde any small groups even make it at all, considering the
compition.  Indeed, ACiD, iCE, GOTHiC and TRiBE have truly taken
over the art scene, and the way things look today, they aim to stay
right where they are.  But through the smokescrean of stunning
artists and big-name players a select few groups do manage to
wrestle their through the big boys and actually make themselves
known.  Prophec hopes to do just that.

     Size doesn't make a group, as has been proven many times.
Moreso, it is the quality of the people who are involved in
releasing it's work.  And the process is one which begins and
concludes with the assistance of a great many supporters, for while
although the artists and writers are usually credited with the
success of a pack, it is the coders, couriers and distro sites that
really make a pack successful.  After all, what good is an ansi if
no one ever sees it?  In this area, Prophecy will excell the most.
Our focus will be to begin small and build up slowly, putting out
quality work involving everyone instead of flooding the scene with
packs which are not properly released.

     Prophecy's first pack is due out on March 1st.  In it we will
include selective works of Literary, Art, VGA, and Mods.  The pack
will be distributed around North America, availible on all of our
outposts around the continent. Currently, the group expects to have
a small first pack which will grow as the group does.

     In an effort to both stimulate intrest in the group as well as
produce something that is long overdue, Prophecy is running it's own
net with an artistic focus.  Insanity International Network, or iSi,
will be back on-line by the end of January.  The net was originally
introduced by Shattered Mind, who has since left the art scene.
Now, the promising net will be run by NeurotiK OppressoR, and will
be based in area code 9o5.  iSi will feature discussion bases
pertaining to every major group in the scene today, such as ACiD,
iCE, GOTHiC, TRiBE and others.  It will also focus on magazine
discussion such as Psychosis, perhaps the largest and most
successful online magazine currently being produced.

     iSi will also undergo some major changes since it was last
running in December 1993.  Some bases will be added to offer a more
general theme for those who are not involved specificly in the art
scene.  Other bases will be removed for various reasons such as lack
of intrest.  In all, the new-look iSi will be a net worthy of
compition with nets such as Valiant, Fatal and perhaps even the
re-born CCi.

     iSi will be distributed around North America.  All Prophecy
member boards will be required to carry the new net, and other
boards will be offered the chance to poll selective bases from the
Prophecy and iSi World Headquarters, ThE HalloweD Maiden.

     The future for Prophecy will include many new ideas as well.
Eventually, we hope to put out an online magazine with the caliber
Psychosis currently offers.  Our literary division will be the
biggest around, and our packs will strive to offer more variety and
flare than most other groups.  Currently, we are disscussing the
possibility of merging with TaR and/or MiC, both of whom have
approached us with the request to make our groups one.  Prophecy
hopes not to compete with the Art and Literary world of BBSing, but
to revolutionize it with some new and different ideas, and perhaps
even improve on some old ones.  The future is indeed bright for
Prophecy, and true to it's namesake, it will, if anything, make an
impact.  That is all we can hope for, and all we really want.

                                   President and founder

     Any artists, coders, couriers, musicians or writers intrested
in joining Prophecy should either contact the World Headquarters at
[9o5]775.5287, or pick up an application at one of our Outposts.
Or, post NeurotiK OppressoR or Bitter Sacrifice in Fatal-Net,
Valiant-Net, CCi, or Prophecy's own iSi. Boards intrested in being
Outposts for their area should do likewise.

   DD- Ok why not start by you giving us a little info on eternity
       (how old it is, what is it mostly, and what makes eternity
       different!)
  
   MA- Ok, Eternity started back in 08/93. It was pretty much
       terrible, as are most groups when they start out. We released
       our first pack in 10/93 and received alot of positive feedback
       about it. Since then we have only been going uphill,
       progressing talent wise and gaining new members and support
       everyday. Now, lemme take this time to make things clear for
       everyone, we are an "ANSi" group. When you DL an Eternity
       pack, all you're going to see is ANSi artwork. I always hated
       downloading these 1000k+ packs and only seeing about ten ANSi
       pics. Now, Eternity was started from scratch. We did'nt have
       no so called "Big Namers" to hype us up, it was all purely
       talent. I hate the politics of the scene, I don't care what
       anyone says, we are not a "small" group. Those days are behind
       us now. Eternity has stability, we would'nt have made it this
       far if we did'nt. But, not only do we have stability, we have
       talent and dedicated artists. That is what makes Eternity so
       great.

__

   DD- What prompted you to start your own group?
  
   MA- Hmm, why did I start my own group? Good question. To tell you
       the truth I don't know. I gues I was just bored. I've always
       been the type that likes to start things, to run the show.
       Plus, I was'nt good enough to get into any other groups
       anyway:)
__

   DD- What do you think of all the political bullshit in the art
       scene!

   MA- I think it's like you said, bullshit. Like I said earlier, I
       hate the politics of the scene. It's all just a bunch of crap,
       and you will be seeing alot of commentary from us on this
       subject in the upcoming new mag called Addict. But, I don't
       want to talk about that seeing this is your mag:) Anyway, I
       hate how artists are respected more if they have "ACiD" or
       "iCE" in their sig. You know what, I have seen alot of crappy
       artists with "ACiD" and "iCE" in their sig. I think if one
       wants respect, he should earn it on his own. Not jump on the
       bandwagon. To me that's taking the easy way out. Man oh man, I
       could go on forever about this stuff..
__

    DD- In your opinion where is eternity heading?
  
    MA- I can answer that in two words, "Only up."
__

   DD- Alot of rumors have been running around that you would only
       stick with eternity a few more months, clear us up a little
       bit!

   MA- To tell you the truth I don't know how much longer I will
       stick around. Maybe three more months, maybe a year. I really
       don't know. All I know is if it keeps being so damn addicting
       and fun I might be here forever! Well, maybe not that long:)
       But seriously, you should see me around for awhile.
__
   
   DD- what is your shoe size?

   MA- I'm a 9 1/2 ...
__    
     
   DD- Is the no vga no lit, nothing except ansi policy ever going to
       change?

   MA- No, I highly doubt it. Eternity was founded and based upon
       ansi art, and I plan on keeping it that way. Those other
       mediums are great, but I just don't think they have a place in
       Eternity.
__

   DD- In closing (the corniest question ever) where do you see
       eternity in a few months?
        
   MA- That's easy to answer, #1 baby!! (Thanks Flat Line:) )

        
        Well Maestro i guess things have changed since this interview
 took place.

        Eternity is now a thing of the past, MAESTRO and SPiRiT OF
 iLLUSiON have gone over to ACiD land!, Best of luck to both of them
 and to the rest of the ETERNiTY dudes best wishes.

            "Reborn", he said as his soul was enflamed,              |
            Unto child he does whisper a word rename.
            Great roots thrashing, sun silt flashing,
            Rebirth to the wearer of the crown of thorns.
            Children once blessed, beaten and scorned
            He reaches out his fist, lightning spews forth
            A howling vortex of wisdom and power delivered
            To those most in need. Women once respected,
            Raped and violated. Flesh rots on warm ebony.
            12 men deceased, violence increases
            Cyber Messiah locates pain of the innocent,
            Blood vandals repented, vision crimson.
            He sees not guilt, only wrongful decision.
            He heeds not pleads, but gives forgiveness.
            He draws the line, while allowing hideousness.
            Psalm 32 in effect.
            Your soul and your mind is what he expects.
            In a world of viciousness, government corrupted
            One thing stands up, one word, distorted.

                     begging mercy and freedom
                   but their fate lies unchanged
                 they will die due of their beliefs
                   they fight the aggressive lie
                      the lie to their nature
                    of a impossible acquaitance

                        Heretics as they are
           elements of a seperate peace place themselves
                        to form a underwold

                    Walking in the neverlands
                    Silent screams emerge,
                    Retched souls of life gone by,
                    Torment your thought's.

                    Searching for a far off place,
                    Never seen but well known,
                    An eternity of searching,
                    A life time of disapointment.

                    You long for the day,
                    But you start to loose hope,
                    Your travels seem pointless,
                    Trying to grasp the unknown.

                    Perserverence you lack,
                    You could not go on,
                    Motionless your body lays,
                    In a vortex of death.

                    Your life spent looking,
                    For retribution and pardon,
                    But alas you where a few steps

             An alluring thought that melts our brains
                       Slowly, into infinity
            Powerless  to stop it, it continues to grow
             Attacking everything that we'll ever have
                           Or ever know.
                   Feeding on our very existance
             Planted within our psyche, it consumes us
                Nested tightly,  it grips our fears
          And squezes the sanity from our dissected soul.
                Until we awake, freezing, shivering
                       Cold, hungry and weak
                            And craving
              Craving it's tastes,  those bittersweet
                  Tastes of our  brush with death
                        It wants, it needs.
                     And what have  we become?
                Our brains, contracted, controlled.
                   Our bodies, weak and stagnant
                        Prisioners  forever
                 Of the Acid Lab within our being.

                 A time still lost, and never found
                  A shattered  freeway underground
               A tortured  consumption of human flesh
                 A useless toy that brings us death

               What  price we pay to hold these dear?
              What ressurected soul controls our fear?
              What somber curiosity feeds on our will?
               What hallowed  shelter keeps us still?

                   Addicted to this drug of death
                 Adicted to it's sting, it's breath
        Consumed by nothing more than our own twisted sanity
                   And our own  private justices.

              Where is the  door, the path to freedom?
                   Where is the escape from here?
               Where can we run, and  never be found?
              Where can we escape, this Lost Eternity?

            he sat in the hallway, his mind still a void
                       old, defeated, crushed
           he sat in the hallway, there was nowhere to go
             of a life gone-by, filled only with sorrow

              he sat in the hallway, waiting, waiting
                      for her to call his name
                and remembering the days so long ago
            he sat in the hallway, and it began to snow

               he sat in the hallway, with no to care
              he drifted away  in his own little world
                   cries of pity, cries of pathos
                    there were none here tonight
             he sat in the hallway...alone in the night

              and why did it end, and why did he try?
              he sat in the hallway, and began to cry
             and what did he get, and what did he take?
          and where was the end of this road full of hate?
            he sat in the hallway, but no one listened.

          he wished he were dead, because he wasn't alive
             hooked up to machines and cords to survive
            he sat in the hallway and prayed to the gods
                to take him away to a far-off place
                   he sat in the hallway...alone.

                  and outside the snow was falling
                     and the children went home
                       to famlies and friends
                           and loved ones
                  but he sat in the hallway alone.

            the war was his enemy, it had taken his life
            he sat in the hallway and wished for a knife
                  all he ever was, gone in a flash
                     a landmine, oh so powerful
                       he sat in the hallway.

                   and the days turned to months
                  and the  months turned to years
                    and he cried in the hallway
                       but no one could hear
                the painful sounds of his suffering
                 he sat  in the hallway and prayed.

                       then one fateful night
                         the time was right
                 as he sat in the hallway so still
           and his heart gave out, and his brain died out
                     as he sat in the hallway.
                       dead, but still alone.
                   he died in the hallway alone.

         Encarnated Evil

         A man of wisdom, yes he was bold,
         so fearless indeed, as it is told.
         He died of causes, unexplainable to man,
         there isn't much to know, except that he ran.
         He ran from a spirit, it haunted him dead,
         so forget the questions, that lye in your head.


         1956, the days of the strong,
         this man was noble, don't get me wrong.
         The villagers never knew what he did at home,
         every night from his room, a light was shown.
         This light looked dark, evil, and mean,
         the greatest light of darkness, they've ever seen.
         What was to be in the days that would come,
         dark decades of fear, no place to run?


         A curious knight, felt he had to see,
         these strange lights that came to be.
         A death resulted from what he had done,
         he opened the door, and soon he was gone.
         The spirits of death, protected this man,
         who was to stop him, who had a plan?


         The dead bodies, soon mounted to hill tops,
         no one can near this house, no one had thoughts.
         Soon landed the day of Christs' resurrection,
         his spirit of goodness would make the correction.
         The battle was seen, of Satan and his opponent,
         what was to destroy this force? What was the component?
         The goodnees of the people, soon helped out their master,
         their spirits of purity, would destroy Satan faster.


         It all happened in a huge explosion,
         Satan was gone, and so died his devotion.
         The town felt goodness, when all evil was gone,
         days later, fire swept the town, Satan had come.

       For some reason you can't do anything right.
       As you sit in your bed thinking all night.
       Your friends are here one minute and gone the next.
       Your life is more then complex.
       Its more like hardships and pain.
       It feels like your life is going down the drain.
       You try and escape your life with dreams.
       It works for a while, or so it seems.
       But your dreams start to go a stray.
       So you get down on your knees and start to pray.
       But there is no one that can help you.
       You want to deny it but you know its true.
       So you walk towards the bathroom to look at your self.
       And start taking drugs of the shelf.
       Bottle after Bottle, you pour then down your throat.
       Hoping to Die.  Hoping to Croak.
       Now you have done it. You can't even make a sound.
       Because you are 6 feet under ground.
