Tall-tales / In youth we’re told / Of triumph and glory / Prove false when we’re grown /
Inside of me: warring divinity / Slain soul: once gold / Now: rotting and cold / In
shattered dimensions: Hope’s resurrection / Reality splinters: two permanent winters /
Fate falls in flakes ‘fore my eyes / I can hear the Furies cry: / “Do you believe what your
eyes see? / Hell is a place on Earth” / I do believe / My eyes have seen / Hell is
surrounding me / “Do you concede / If you were to bleed / They’d drain your veins / Your
sunlight and bring rain?” / Fairweather. Friends? Never. Heart suppressor / Pierce the
ether’s membrane / Innocence leaks like the pouring rain / Acidic and caustic / In pain /
Exhausted / Misplaced lust. Turn to dust. Friends fall to the rust / 5 months in / Falling
far from grace / Heavenly tears hail from space / Hell-fire reigns from an ancient age /
First song last. 4 months passed. My requiem mass / Loveless acres / Blood boils /
Under a black sun I toil / To iron oxide: the redox begins / I am / Chasing the wind
