Well I get bored sometimes and I write poems that have similarities to Symphony X's lyrics. 
Criticism is welcome... I know I'm not too great. lol. Ok... I know... some are too SymX-ish. Added some drawings I did. lol. Enjoy!
Here are just a few:
-[Farewell To Blackened Skies]-
A stranger in this land
I raise my bloody hand
When the sun rises up in the sky
To the end we fly
And on the final night
The trumpet calls aloud
Awaken by the blinding light
The chosen rise up to the cloud
Leaving the darkness far behind
Vision comes to me, so blind
But I will run
Forever more
Beyond the sun
Beyond the door
And from the rising sun
Comes a brighter day
For this life is done
And the time has come to fly away
In between the worlds I lie
To the gates of heaven we fly
Never rising higher
The Devil's falling down
Straight into the fire
Forever he will drown
Angels flying in the sky
Can you hear the trumpet sound?
To the end of life we fly
I am falling to the ground
You will fade
With all your dreams
You raise the blade
Oblivious of death it seems
I say, "Farewell!"
To blackened skies
Strike the bell
The world of lies
There is no greater joy I find
Then leaving this dead world behind
So lift me high, beyond the sun
Take me to the promised land
All wrongdoing, it is done
You carry me within your hand
Angels flying in the sky
Can you hear the trumpet sound?
To the end of life we fly
I am falling to the ground
Leaving the darkness far behind
Vision comes to me, so blind
And I will run
Forever more
Beyond the sun
Beyond the door
I say, "Farewell!"
To blackened skies
Strike the bell
The world of lies
-[The Fallen One]-
Dwelling in shadows, King of all the dark
Once an angel, fallen, inventor of the mark
The fire in his eyes
The lure within his lies
Attempting total domination
He claims heaven as his nation
He rises then falls
Through the night we hear his calls
Falling down from shattered skies
Ruler of the serpents, ruler of lies
We can hear your cries
With the wind it never dies
Rising against the creator of existence
He claims domination
Another failed resistance
He's destined to damnation
"I will dominate
Paradise I'll recreate"
Cast into this world of perfection
The serpent spreads the vicious infection
Falling down from shattered skies
Ruler of the serpents, ruler of lies
We can hear your cries
With the wind it never dies
He leads the horde
Of the serpent's bloody sword
He's the man within the nightmare
He is the face of my despair
Once an angel of the city of gold
Now beaten down and growing old
With eyes of death
And fire in his breath
Falling down from shattered skies
Ruler of the serpents, ruler of lies
We can hear your cries
With the wind it never dies
-[The Savior In This Nightmare]-
Falling down like shattered glass
Waiting in the shade of night
Waiting for this time to pass
Watching as they fall and fight
Warriors fall
And swords collide
Standing tall
In the sky they ride
As steel meets steel
And the sky ignites
The death I feel
On these endless nights
Bodies slain
Upon the bloodstained shore
It once gave me pain
But now I cry no more
So much sorrow
Before my eyes
I must reach tomorrow
A reach beyond the world of lies
The night reflects
Within my tear stained-eyes
My mind the earth infects
Broken down by lies
You ask me how it's done
On this day without the sun
It's the light within my soul
The savior in this nightmare, dull
He who gives me life
And washes sin away
He who overpowers knife
And secures for me, a brighter day
How can this be?
What's come of me?
Why can't you see?
LORD SET ME FREE!
You ask me how it's done
On this day without the sun
It's the light within my soul
The savior in this nightmare, dull
[The Blackened Page]-
Temptation wraps it's hands around my mind
Trapped within the dream
Throwing all I loved behind
To enter into heaven it may seem
Wandering the halls of gold
In the land of times of old
But what do you see?
A blackened page in this eternity?
I am a blind man
Wandering the wasteland
Take this pain away
I am a blind man
Raising higher, my hand
To the sun of a brighter day
Symphony of flames
Songs of doom
Calling cursed names
To the whitewashed tomb
Will I ever see?
Will I ever know?
Is this really me?
Where am I to go?
Writer of my destiny
Creator of my life
Show me my true destiny
Help me drop the bloody knife
I am a blind man
Wandering the wasteland
Take this pain away
I am a blind man
Raising higher, my hand
To the sun of a brighter day
Rip away this blackened page
I can't read what the Devil says will come
Show me the hope of a brighter age
Show me the way before the sound of the drum
I have wandered far away
So give me hope and wash my sin away
LORD my fate is in your hands
So carry me to brighter lands
I am a blind man
Wandering the wasteland
Take this pain away
I am a blind man
Raising higher, my hand
To the sun of a brighter day
Break the chains of condemnation
Break the chains away
Save me from this fallen nation
Bring me home on the final day
-[Refuge In The Dark]-
The clock is ticking as we wait
The bell shall ring at the darkest hour
Our hearts are burning, full of hate
Run towards the highest tower
People taking refuge in the graves
Dwelling in the pit within
People selling themselves as slaves
Giving in to hidden sin
Every single broken warrior
Looking for a refuge in the dark
Waiting in the dark forever more
On this journey we embark
Off the edge of the highest mountain Searching for the crown
Thirsting for an enchanted fountain
We're on a path that's twisted down
No hope at all
Not a horror to compare
Another time I fall
Into the pit of my despair
A search is pointless
No end I find at all
But when I am lifeless
I can here the kingdom call
"Come to the tower
I will guide you with my ever burning flame
The time has come for a brighter hour
We have come to see the end of this game!
Rise again from the burning ashes
Fire never burning out
Though broken down by a thousand lashes
Never again will you be in doubt"
Beyond this world of hate
Is a land no man could create
And I will come to see
All the visions of eternity
Life after death
I take my final breath
I will live forever
In the kingdom of the light
Never fading, ever
To the end, for God I'll fight
The king of kings
Is king of all
Ruler of all things
Savior for the fall
