Umbra

I'm waiting in the dawn light, clawing, tongue like dirt Bleeding wounds that unwind, nails worn through Screaming, wordless prayer Euphoria, distressed bough Evoke now the monolith, sepulchral pyre beneath the earth Veins of glass, skin of sand A glance upon madness, to extort the flesh ever changing Am I me?' I muse, through the fetid hollow Leaves of tar, toxic sap, constricting bark Limb of torment, drag me down, beneath the shadow And I slumber, in His embrace He cradles me to death And I slumber, in His faith He caresses, within my flesh And I slumber, in His embrace And I slumber, in His faith He calls my name, deathless sin, in the moonlight Uttering madness, please forgive me, endless nightmare Peel my bones, shifting grass, fractal worship Ageless god, nameless one, always within me Fixate the blind, upon the egress, lidless eyes, a starless void A new psychosis, fresh neurosis, an aberration of my mind At once to subjugate myself, ties that bind through bloodless skies Myriad eyes, peer through my sleeve, a tide of skin, ever shifting, sedulous A monolith of sin, obsidian form engulfing him, feed me blind, feed me bitter truth of mind A blanket of stars, to keep me warm under the sun, collective delusion, intrusion, illusion Revealing his name, enthralling, sublime, I see too much beyond the pale, grand cold void, with rotted fang Death grey flesh, birthed in ashen wastes, a tide of bone, ever screaming, lachrymose I'm waiting in the dawn light Screaming, euphoria Sightless woodland Breathless blood Scraping at the dirt, I am building my home Loose foundations, I am building my throne Growing inside, resident fear of mine Lightless eyes, reflecting through mirrors Lingering soul of mine, incense of blood in the skies Ever waiting god, empty heart within The clutches of heavens eye, my teacher, my soul, my pride I worship and adore, come not here, no more Shrouded mist, befall the hill Cascading down to me Bleeding skies of crimson eyes Entombed, a veil of thee Standing at my hearth, I am showered with gold Strong foundations, I am king, I am known Growing inside, fearless soul of mine Brightest eyes, reflecting through mirrors Lingering call of blight, a whisper of insight divine Ever waiting god, calling me to back to him The presence in the moon, my teacher, my heart, my guide I fear and abhor, come back to me, my love
