A Dwelling Place For Demons
by: Sondra Van Ryan

Welcome to the land of Shokushu
A dwelling place for demons
Where hope is but a dream,
and nothing is what it seems

Run all you want but you can't hide
They will just hunt you down
and surround you on every side
Summon what courage
you may find inside
They'll still ravage your body
and play with your mind

You may be strong and brave
You may summon every ounce
of courage and that iron will
you have from within
You will see
that doesn't really matter,
for they'll still win
You will always be
theirs in the end

Just you try to fight,
just try to escape
They will just laugh and take you harder
They will torment and humiliate you,
and leave you tortured and raped

Remember that this is Shokushu
A dwelling place for demons
So just try to find solace in sleep,
they will always be there,
waiting for you in your dreams

Welcome to the land of Shokushu
A dwelling place for demons
Where hope is but a dream,
and nothing is what it seems

Abandon All Hope
By Sondra Van Ryan

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon”
That is what your Holy Bible says
“She has become a dwelling place for demons
A prison for every unclean spirit and every filthy bird”
That was Babylon, and this is Shokushu
For us ‘unclean spirits’ it is paradise
A playground for demons to torture and rape
If it is a prison, than the prison is not for us
But for unfortunate young girls like you
We are everything that you fear; we are everything that you hate
The very moment you step foot on this island you belong to us
Step into my parlor and let the fun begin
You can fight us all you want, but you will never win
We will hunt you while you wake and haunt you while you sleep
Any struggle against us will only end in defeat
We are all that you loath and all that you fear
If you hear this warning, make sure you heed it well:
“Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here”

"Memories"
By Sondra Van Ryan

I once had some friends
so close they were my family,
sisters I always thought I'd have forever
But in the end,
they have all been taken away from me

Where have all my sisters gone?
They were the glue that held us all together
I thought I'd always have them by my side
But now it seems they’re gone,
gone forever

Where did they go?
Why did they go?
They were the ones,
the ones who helped bring joy into my life
My days were always full of laughter and fun
Now they're disappearing from my life,
vanishing day by day

All that's left now are memories
and emotional pain,
pain that I cannot swallow
I may seem happy and cheerful on the outside,
But on the inside I feel hallow,
so very hallow

But for them I must stay strong
For them I must summon the will
and the strength to carry on

They have always been there for me,
through the good times and bad
I will never forget
all the wonderful times that we've had

I will remember you Carmen,
my rock and my salvation,
for helping me
through all the stormy weather
I will never forget you Trixy,
the life of the party,
for all the good times
we have had together

I miss you, all of my sisters
I will always love and cherish
every moment we have spent together
I will never let you go from my heart
Not now.
Not ever.
