The Key To All Skies


Reaching out within 

the frozen dream


Slaves mount the system 

grinding the sky with the solar key


Riots unblinkered scale destiny

cities on fire with revolt...




Climax 


"I alone hold the key to this savage freakshow"-Arthur Rimbaud


The fingers of acid 

creep down my spine


Don't open your eyes

don't close them either


Take it from me...


There's holes in the ceiling of my

run-down studio 


Apartment in South Pas...


While "Hole in the Sky" by

Black Sabbath


Blares on my ghetto blaster.


I'm a white guy of privilege living in

the worst section of 

a neighborhood with


Million dollar

houses and they want to 

carve a path to a new 


Freeway right through my

residence...




Cosmic Keys and Mysteries 


Within this box 

you will find 


All the

Things...
