Penultimate destination, Few aboard have been before Filled with sudden foreboding I have no wish to go ashore We make safe our landing But as we stow our wares Dark clouds on the horizon Only compound my fears We are never getting out of here With our lives and sanity Never to see home or kin This I know with certainty Our business completed We return to the docks A sudden storm front rising Vessel smashed upon the rocks We are never getting out of here With our lives and sanity Never to see home or kin This I know with certainty Such dreadful certainty Dreams of My home Haunt me Every single night Something Building Inside I must let it out One night in the tavern I hear A familiar voice A merchant from my homeland I do not have a choice As he leaves I Follow And when we are alone Unsheath my knife and quietly I slit his throat Swaddled in his cloak I board his ship The arms men of the watch Know that I am not him We are never getting out of here With our lives and sanity Never to see home or kin This I know with certainty I am never getting out of here My life is forfeit Imprisoned its remainder For the throat I slit This I know with certainty …Absolute certainty

Several billion breeding stock More born every day Exponentially increasing They have known no other way Limited resources make them Difficult to feed Lives of ceaseless wanting But still they breed Like vermin they crawl Disregarding all Heed only the call To consume As we are their leaders We know the hard truth The land no longer feed us Polluted and overused Oceans are exhausted No longer sustain life The population cannot know We would be engulfed in strife A moderate proposal Elegant indeed Synthesised foodstuffs have been a great success Some current product lines are renowned as the best I propose a sister product similar to these Harvested from an untapped resource Recently revealed to me Encourage the old and sick to end their lives in our clinics They will suffer less this way, be less burden on the state Unbridled population expansion led us to this fate We must take action now, though it may already be too late A moderate proposal Elegant indeed Proffer your objections but How else can we meet this need? The protein produced Must be put to use And so it shall be Recycled into feed Recycled into feed

Chaos consumes this world No power to arbitrate Who will enforce morality But we who are blessed with the might Millions every day, subject to atrocities Preventable suffering caused by human greed Widespread oppression, profit driven famine, Deaths from curable disease but not for lack of medicine We are obliged to make it right because we have the Power needed to force compliance Profits should be secondary Human life comes first So we set our task… to rid the world of its wrongs How many there are… we must be strong But we will remain resolute in adversity Any who oppose us, they will win our enmity We will tell them what is right, enforced with an iron fist Stand in our way? Let’s just say you won’t be missed Sequestered away from society Everything you know, will be known to us eventually Chaos consumes this world No power to arbitrate Who can enforce morality? We who are strong! Over time we become What once we abhorred The tyrannical rulers Exponents of terror Enforcing our will Through violent means Only our way is right Dictated from on high Validity is mine with No need for reason No need for reason

Let me tell you a story Of the artifact that I seek It will tell me of my future And the conquests I will lead The Witch's Ballbag Crystal ball inside Her fortress lies in the wastelands Enticing unwary travellers Ensnared by her defences Inevitably consumed by her The crystal ball itself Is no mere enchanted sphere Ancient technologies cause Temporal filters to disappear Consuming souls to live The ballbag is her bait Luring adventurers To meet a gruesome fate The Witch's Ballbag Crystal ball inside Transcending futures It will be mine
