Guess the IF game from a riddle poem about it

Spoiler your answer.

heat and friction, weight and light
are physics concepts we know well
but when you say these words just right
all those laws can go to hell

Did you hear the Word I said?
I hope you didn’t, lest it spread
If it got inside your head
You might be better dead

2 is Slouching Towards Bedlam, but I’m not sure about 1 - maybe Metamorphoses or Hadean Lands?

You chase me through the doors and halls
I search for secrets, scale the walls
While both of us refuse to die
If you’re the hunter, who am I?

You can’t focus? Darling, please
We don’t have time for fantasies
Just do the task, I don’t care how—
Wait, what was that you broke just now?!

what are you so scared of, pet?
your dirt-filled mouth? your cheeks stained wet?
the yawning void? the filthy sweat?
such nasty things, you must forget.
there’s nothing on the canvas. yet.

when you have lost the duel again
you might well feel the fool again
the end will come, you cannot stop it
but if you want to, try to swap it

within the frame
a fort of flame
scanning, searching, burning
stopping all
before the wall
speaking, dreaming, learning

this story’s a Slavic-bound quest
(and it’s probably easy to guess)
the lines all conform
to poetic form
…I am certain that you know the rest

He who made our sanctuary’s
power, we resent
Plan escape, and keep aware, he’s
now 90%…

The conversation topic
turns around a shoe and a spell
You can change the ending if
you time your squawking well

There once was an orc on a farm
Who noted with great alarm
That the resident swine
Had made a beeline
Through the gate he had left ajar. um.
