Edge out to punish myself (Into the next movement) A witness to my own self infliction Despair, a numbing line I beg to die in vain To all from a starless heaven And a shameful earth Afflicted and hollow I suffer wrong decisions My unhurried breath yearns for the end A dark permanence The literal worship of death and Nothing ness of being My body; a temple of wounded My voice tells the story of war My eye; looks to the forbidden My blood creeps; stealing the pain I adore To weave misery To Sleep this night and never reprise Long since gone, the time I was able to feel I have the strength to make my Death-prayer be real My blood... creeps down my arms My pain and madness Surround me in waveform I have come to know THE JOY OF ALL WHO SORROW I have become a temple of death and Death breathes in me Bones, heavy as tone, drop into place Destiny written for those who cannot see Fate sealed for those who can ...and miles of glorious carrion lie ahead
