Awoke from typhlotic silence Awoke from mind inearth Conscious enveloping, sick feat over To the shock of the white-coated I returned undefeated From whence others fear to tread Time to fling another barrage at desideratum Last rites retracted So I'm trying to remember where I was When I lost sight of the flickering sun Perhaps to recall the beginning of The downfall of it all The rainbow drain-bowed Ember's colour became as grey On the day when perspectives lengthened When what had seemed before to be so far away Became to me so shockingly, starkly, clear Face down in ash, choking in frenzy Soon to become a meal for the many As smiling eyes to glittering ice Worm voices rising through all this putrefaction Awaiting loss in less than resignation To finish the start a tempting frustration Fully expecting subterfuge, in a place of no refuge No last chances for this sleighted hand Away, away, lying through the last stand Dead heat, soul on ice, all wishes wasted Dreaming pure horror Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie Painting out cracked windows of the soul In misty midnight black Serrated blades of silver hatred Ragged cuts pissing blood Torn through gossamer thin desire All hope and fear feeding funeral pyres Whatever pa**ed for colour Has now pa**ed on Spider amongst the bar flies Sinking sorrows as oceans rise And fallen angels fall further!
