In The Jungle

"There will come a day, when you are going to lose it all, do you understand that, False Red?"

"I Do Doubt That Very Much, Rojo."

"Mark my words, it will happen, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon-- your kingdom is gone. And soon, you will be too."

"Even If That Is True, I Will Still Stand Above You. You Call Me False Red, But In The End, I Am The Purest Form Of Red."

"You are chaos. Filth."

"And You, Rojo, You Are Rage. Carnage."

Truth's Bar

"So alone, aren't you, now?"

*silence*

"What's the matter, sister caught your tongue? Look at you--I told you what would happen. What always happens, you cocky son of a bitch."

"One."

"What's that?"

"Two... Three."

"What are you on about?"

"Come Now, True Red... Let Me Show You Just How Lonely I Have Been..."

Picture
Watchful guardian, here you be, wondering why wondering are you free?

Watching from above, and so below,
deep to the bottom, where sorrows sink so.

But half angel and half demon you were once,
guardian of us three,
green fellow,
I don't recognize thee.

What happened to him, where did he go,
or did he get swallowed so?

No kings here, no gods either,
just Pharaoh[s] locked inside a bird feeder.


Picture
And so there he came, dressed in black,
suit and tie,
vest filled with dread,
oh he attacked.

Conspirator, traitor, door,
stepped into the wrong one,
what a nasty odor.

Corrosive such as he,
rotting away his pain,
did he flee?

Now changed, as many after,
nothing stays the same,
not cries, not laughter.

​Where's the old master?


Picture
Picture
Yellow host rearranging East,
no time for games no time for feast,
war is a-coming, a silent one--
careful brother, smile at the mean sun.

Search the crevices, corners,
and even our jungle,
carefully listen to the rumble.

Someone's in pain,
someone's hurting,
a lot is changing,
​who are you, brother?


Picture
He set you free, free to roam,
why did he do it, why us three?

Now you run with weapon in hand,
pointing those horns forward,
searching the land.

Who are you looking for, brother?
Is it me?
Did you forget the other,
the fourth to three?

Where is he, help me search,
I'll lead if you follow,
then converge.

Pharaoh?

Did we lose you?
Call out your name,
praise thee.


Picture
Picture
So you made a deal, behind our back,
threw out the other,
a brother in black.

Rearranged the pieces to your fitting,
skipped the order,
​do you realize the crime committing?

Repercussions soon to come,
give it time, sister,
you'll get some.

Now you see us through the glass ceiling,
churches chanting,
what is that feeling?

Merely passengers in your train to perdition,
pardon my lack of serenity,
but we have our suspicions.


Picture
So who exactly came out the other side,
while someone's prisoner
there resides?

A man merely a shell,
which one of us did you throw to hell?

A deal made in blood,
sister dare you speak?

Do you see me smiling,
what is it you seek?

Look into my eyes and pray,
you did the right thing this time,
and closed the doorway.

​*Rojo*

Let me have a shot at him,
he'll listen to me.


Ha ha! The light is now dim.
But, please, let it be.


This is no joke,
now I'm going to start beating.


My my, pop the cork!
Let's start celebrating!


Answer the question!
How is this possible!


I show no hesitation.
She's adorkable.


Come again?
What are you speaking?

​
You'd have to know her, Cain.
To understand my meaning.

Picture
I'll tear you apart,
do not stall.


Please spare me that part,
time, I have all.


She's put a spell on you!
What madness is this?


If you only knew.
Her kiss is pure bliss.


I will rip every limb,
until you tell me everything.


Should I chant? Sing a hymn?
She is the Queen to my King.


Well, she's brought out curiosity.
To know her is our mission.


Then allow me to show reciprocity.
Meet in the middle? Honor a proposition?



Picture
No deals, you are cut-off.
So spare me the desire talk.


Ease off!
You don't have to be such a cock.
You want to know what exactly?
How she made me feel?


As a matter of factly,
if that's what it proves how to kill--


Where is the fun in that, torturer of mine?
Don't want to prolong my imprisonment?

Do not whine.
You are not omnipotent.


You don't get it, do you? She's my immortality.
As long as I love her, nothing can hurt me.


Shake that god mentality,
​or you'll never be free.

"My love?"
"Yes, I saw her. She's good. She still kicks my ass at that messenger scrabble thing."
"Of course she does. Always one step ahead of us."
"She is, isn't she?"
"Do me a favor, will ya? Tell her I miss her. Tell her I love her."
"Of course, brother."
"Do you mind telling me, if you can--only if you can... When?"
"You know I cannot tell you that."
"But why not? Afraid you will ruin the fun? Or is there a surprise? Ah yes, that's it, isn't it?"
"No, no surprises. Just order."
"Blah blah, yeah yeah. Listen. I do not mind it here, it's getting rather cozy. Cozier than the cage, anyway."
"Is there a question in there somewhere?"
"Ah yes, of course. You know me, brother. You know I do not like being trapped."
"You are not trapped, T. You want out? Go ahead, take a walk."
"You can't be serious, can you?"
"No, of course not. *You* know *me* better. I would never make it that easy--not for you at least."
"Don't you get bored? Don't you ever get-- Restless? Always the same task over and over. Babysitting me should be getting old, Red."
"Not to me. Not ever. I have a job to do, and no one is better at it than me."
"Loyal. Do-gooder."
"I do this for him. I do this for her. And believe it or not, I do this for you, too."
"Now that, that is a surprise."
"What can I say, *I* have to try and be one step ahead of you, T."
"Always."
"Rest easy, brother."
"You do the same, and next time you see her..."
"Yes?"

I believe in what I can see,
see not far from thee.

Good things happen,
I say,
not in my experience,
ye little of faith.

First things first,
hunt me down,
I'm buried six feet in the ground.

So? Believe-R,
yes sir.

Lift those hands high,
reach for the skies,
no--it ain't heaven,
you're here to fry.

So get yourself ready, boys,
a doctorate and a masters,
many toys,
​welcoming disaster.

What's the matter, Host?
Still chasing the past, the ghost?
Go ahead, jump,
I know you want to fly,
or do you need a bump?

We're entering a new cycle?
Are you sure this is what you want?
Is this the best choice?
Why not just shut their voice?

Lock them up,
it's worked before,
dare I say it?
Dare I roar?

Go ahead and jump,
I know you want to fly,
or do you need a bump?

Fly.


Picture
Ah yes, here we meet again,
hello dear brothers,
here to fight again?
Why bother?

I could wipe the floor with you two,
so get to the point,
are you here to chat--

"No, sorry to disappoint."
"We're Here To See Sister."

That, I cannot allow,
so next question,
or I'll tell you to go on about.

Picture
Picture
I am overseeing all this--
Nonsense, is it?
What are they planning?
Come on, Rojo, finish this.

Do I need to intervene?
I wonder.
No, I trust Rojo's judgement.
It's my turn to watch over the Queen.

I'll watch over the day and follow the duties.
Maybe I'll watch a movie.

Hope this cycle is better,
and that the others follow it to the letter.

Or I'll prepare their cells once more,
welcome pain and gore.


Picture
There went the cycle,
now we enter the second,
follow the rules,
for I'm primal.

I'll watch over closely,
dare to bargain again,
careful being boldly.

Don't try to use her,
this is my warning,
violence preferred,
when it's too late,
you'll hear me roaring.

True Red here,
remember brother,
I'm your true keeper,
I'm your Seer.

Gnash and slash,
time to hunt and stun,
the fields are open,
lets run before sundown--
Broken.

Gather us, new plan,
Old Gods rising,
get the madman.

New World Order,
I meant it--
sleep terror disorder.

Bring her to me now.


Picture
Dark imagination,
but she reigns sensation,
feelings of hate,
hope you are not late.

Meet us at sundown,
I'll collect the others,
bring them together,
us brothers.

There is one thing I must do first,
however,
to bring power to my lever.

Come along, Rojo.


Picture
War paint was what you were born with,
Father's rage was your choice of myth.

Come along,
we have to gather,
in order to teach,
and so I can give my speech.

But I need you at full potential,
let it all go,
and burn with it,
go full mental.

Then join my search party.


Picture
Hiding now are we?
For shame!
Let the games begin, then.

Search and collect,
bring them to me unharmed,
so I can inject.

Then regroup,
this is all planned,
to you I salute.

​Prove your loyalty.


Picture
Too much chaos reigned,
many brothers fought,
with nothing to gain.

So everything was almost lost,
and now I return from my frost.

But if to thaw out of hibernation,
is so I can rebuild my nation,
then I will leave my past behind,
and bring peace to Mind.

So search and collect,
I will be here to dissect.


Picture
I am not a torturer,
you must understand,
if anything I am a barterer,
but that time is now gone,
to prove your loyalty,
that is all I want done.

When they are brought to me,
we will see,
who can do what,
and how far it can all go,
I promise you so.

I'll give you the tools you need,
if it comes to the point of breaking them,
to get them to plead.


Picture
Picture
You have proven worthy of loyalty,
given me what I asked for,
so join in,
be part of my royalty.

Adhere to the rules,
and I won't lock you up,
do not play us like fools,
or I will break you,
run along now, Kisser,
take a bath,
​for you are covered in blood, Sister.

Genesis 18:16-33

Picture
And so he walked free among the fields, that grass below his hooves burning the same color as his skin. Walls trapped him, but in the labyrinth, he was at peace. And so the Woman in Purple approached him, the Orange God walked up to meet her halfway in the field. 

Startled, she brought offerings, looked up and said: "I come to bargain, for I need your help. I cannot leave until someone takes my place. I have thought about who I would choose, but you are the only one that makes sense. I need to find my brothers."

The Orange God looked upon her and said, "Far be it from you to do such a thing—to bargain with me without stating the price of acceptance."

"Please forgive me, this is just temporary. I have questions and worries that plague my mind, I must find the answers. I must find him. Will not the Judge of all the Gods among us do what's right?”

"If to do what's right involves me exiting the Labyrinth, then so be it, but think not for a second that I won't require my questions answered as well."

"I bring gifts, please accept this sacrifice and I will grant you safe passage. Time has passed and the cycle has been broken. I will explain more upon our next meeting, but time, I'm afraid, is of the essence."
​

Picture
And so the Orange God agreed upon her bargain, and the Woman in Purple knelt before him.

"Oh beloved brother of mine, accept this sacrifice I present before you, accept me fully as so in the days before so be it in the days of now."

The Woman in Purple then released the Orange God upon the world, setting him free from the labyrinth which imprisoned him.

As he exited, she ran in the opposite direction, hoping to find what she was looking for, and praying she would not be too late.


Picture







​******************************************
13
 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
*******************************************



Picture
Something woke me,
I know of it,
it was unnerving.
A familiar cry,
I am no stranger to it.

True Yellow calls,
so I react,
a meeting with Taurus,
always part of our contract.

For us three are the main rulers,
watch each other's backs,
respect from users.

Holes in walls,
red upon them,
something is wrong,
I must find them.

So here I come, brother,
to help,
whatever you need from me,
just chirp.

Picture



​"Hunt them down, bring them to me."


"Who would that be?"

"False Red, False Yellow, True Blue, True Black, but leave Grey to me."

"As you wish."


Picture
And so time passed and the two gods met;
Orange found Rojo and time came to a halt,
a meeting of monsters took place.

The Kings head to head,
no bargain, no gifts,
a battle of wits.

In the hallway of the Palace they met,
Orange demanded answers,
Rojo knew he posed no threat.

They have fought before,
it wasn't pretty,
I've always just observed,
more stories of this Silver City.

Recollections of memories,
passages of wars,
all written down,
passed onto Doc's office,
more paperwork to file,
stories of trials--

To Rojo's surprise,
Orange grabbed him by the neck,
held him against the wall,
feet off the ground,
a human wreck.

Orange asked once,
Rojo complied,
he knew better than to anger him so.

Rojo told him the story,
the fable of four,
how False Red was angry,
how False Yellow stole time,
and then True Blue cried,
after True Black joined in the fun.

A mix of emotions a mix of drinks,
there was a reason why the cycle had broke,
as each one swam to sink,
to chase the light to drink.

And the noise around them,
no room to breathe,
it only caused them more to split.

Until Silver took the mantle,
but they were already too far gone,
it was too much to handle.

And so the cycle came to a stop,
for True Yellow's words unlocked,
and a bargain was made between the Host and the Parasite,
to watch over the world and the Queen,
while he gathered the others,
to take control and get clean.

For True Yellow had made her a promise,
this New World Order would be for the Goddess.

And so I was told to watch over it all,
until the cycle restarted,
I'd be guarding the wall.

Woman, my woman,
baby, my baby,
darling, dear,
love, goddess,
queen of hearts,
your voice carved in the walls,
singing tunes and moans,
a skull and crossbones
in your throne.

I walked up to him and asked one more time,
to let it go,
to leave it alone,
a stubborn crow denied,
he'd do anything for his corpse bride.

Neutral ground is where I'll be,
retire to the shattered palace where I'll see,
as I pray for peace, another war, more debris.

I do not want to have to do this again,
but I have to watch over,
and see the mess spilled,
the take-over.

Romantically Apocalyptic

Picture
Welcome, welcome,
knock on the red door,
step inside,
don't mind the bloodstained floor.

This curtain apparition,
I'll take you down the road to perdition.

All you have to do is enter my room,
just do not anger the fumes.

Smell but do not touch,
I'm starting to see red,
so much.

There it is again,
no,
make it stop, please,
Go!

Who's up next then,
why don't you join us?
Stop acting like children,
you're men!
Join in, fight me,
got plenty of cuts!

Go ahead, make my day,
I'll shatter your spleen,
child's play!

I told you I do not pick a side!
I remain neutral, does it need to be clarified?


Picture
Fine then,
let me at them,
move out of my way,
I'll show you mayhem.

I'll choke the wine out of you,
I'll tear that frown, too,
I'll rip your walls to shreds,
I told you,
I am True Red!

Get your hands off me,
lest you find your bones broken,
on the floor, on one knee,
are you done provoking?

Dig my nails into your skin,
deep down to your Rotten core,
I'm going to break your chin!
You wanted war.

How much more do I need to spill,
to show you I do not partake on your thrills,
this brings nothing but chills,
of a different frozen nature,
like dozen sharp razors.


Picture
Do you want to know what I dreamt?
I'll paint you a picture,
just do not misinterpret.

I stood there, broken,
shattered spleen,
choking--
on a pool of my own blood,
with a tingling sensation in my chest,
like I had been dragged through the mud,
like I had lost at your contest.

A figure in front of me with an open hand,
not reaching out to help me,
instead, pressing hard against a heart,
I knew then why my chest was tingling,
as I heard her voice behind, singing.

"I'm going to destroy you,"
how quaint,
my voice now mellowed out-- faint.


Picture
Her singing, however, now turned into screams,
the laughter no longer what it seemed.

Only pure rage and anger,
I wanted to take a gander,
but unable to move I laid there,
on the ground...

What a romantically apocalyptic affair.

Was it all part of your plan, I wonder,
to bring about False Red's demise,
and ignite her thunder?

Now with unrelenting rage she pushes,
through the crowd in the halls,
she rushes.

To find her Love,
she'll tear our walls,
break down the halls,
shatter the idols.

I will recover, I know,
so tear at my spleen once more,
let me feel your hand rip into my chest,
pull out my heart again, try your best!

Do you think I am frightened?
By the sight of you scum?
Fools, I'm a Titan!

Now let me show you how I tear and rip,
welcome everyone to my warship,
​this is round-trip!

I welcome you to Red's Dictatorship.


Picture
Picture
Now my blood is hot, boiling,
warm veins,
much more unfolding!

She continues...
spoiling.

And the Goddess here she reigns,
she'll put us all in chains.

For her touch like fire,
​her glancing eyes--gunfire!
Her voice?
Hell-fire.
 What is that noise?
Desire.

Lips on lips,
​pacifier.


Picture
So come along and dance,
break some necks,
this is a fiery romance!

Burn you close,
touch your insides,
burn your corpse,
butterflies.

"Fuck the rules,"
she said once,
do you remember fools!

Prior engagements to be retired,
here comes the anger,
fired
up and beyond,
dare you try and break our bond?

Together us thirteen,
along with the Queen,
we'll shatter everyone's spleens.

So tread carefully,
I'm ten steps ahead,
careful running your mouth,
I'll kill you dead.


Picture
Picture
A love like lava,
burning hot,
strong as molten rock,
I am Rapture--
Tom Judge,
one of thirteen--
artifacts,
each with a particular contract.

The Darkness,
primal and truthful,
The Angelus,
pure and feudal.
The Witchblade,
offspring and balance,
The Rapture,
talent and malice,
The Blood Sword,
hunger and carnage,
The Glacier Stone,
destruction in its palate,
The Ember Stone,
the dragon at the top of the palace,
The Coin Of Solomon,
knowledge in a chalice.


Picture
The Spear Of Destiny,
jealousy and empathy.
The Pandora's Box,
chaos personified, key-less lock.
The Wheel Of Shadows,
controlling time, he who knows.
The Heart Stone,
buried in the throne.
And the thirteenth,
join me, beneath.

As I go deep under,
and join in slumber.

Where I will relive the scene once more,
as I bleed endlessly on the floor.

"I will destroy you,"
remind me again--
what's it like to reign?
