I've been etched and regurgitated Below an unbound number of lustrous stars As the sound of the universe was of a hum Singing sad songs of hallucinogenic scars The air was serene as a pair of blessed black wings Descended over a perfectly frozen world My broken state left a God-shaped hole in her heart As her trembling wings unfurled She lay what was left of my head atop her lap Beginning the process of healing my choking flame Severed and unbound is my celestial umbilical cord I alone, I alone to blame I've been etched and regurgitated Below an unbound number of lustrous stars As the sound of the universe was of a hum Singing sad songs of hallucinogenic scars She lay what was left of my head atop her lap Beginning the process of healing my choking flame Severed and unbound is my celestial umbilical cord I alone, I alone to blame The air was serene as a pair of blessed black wings Descended over a perfectly frozen world My broken state left a God-shaped hole in her heart As her trembling wings unfurled I watched all haunted pieces of myself expel as she worked ever so tirelessly

Minutes melt while pleas of mercy Rot and bloat from negligence My howls drift unanswered My mourns dim with resonance Erratically folding are my lungs The pair gargle and quiver ever so violently Heaving forth caramelized blood Which shines ever so vibrantly It leaves tastes of rust against my threading lips The aroma as my dark rot grows On the dawning of the eclipse As the sun was armored with black The world was painted with gold From the blazing ring overhead From it birthed a piece of God A grinding light to ease ongoing agony and dread Metamorphosis into a being of wheels-within-wheels Found fully encrusted with eyes All gazing into what was left Of my abruptly collapsing mind Grinding gears of the Ophanim She willingly carries God upon his throne Past, present, and future merge The now of eternity has been sown As the sun was armored with black The world was painted with gold From the blazing ring overhead From it birthed a piece of God A grinding light to ease ongoing agony and dread Metamorphosis into a being of wheels-within-wheels Found fully encrusted with eyes All gazing into what was left Of my abruptly collapsing mind Grinding gears of the Ophanim She willingly carries God upon his throne Past, present, and future merge The now of eternity has been sown Metamorphosis into a being of wheels-within-wheels Found fully encrusted with eyes All gazing into what was left Of my abruptly collapsing mind Grinding gears of the Ophanim She willingly carries God upon his throne Past, present, and future merge The now of eternity has been sown As the sun was armored with black The world was painted with gold From the blazing ring overhead

The glistening black cloud of murk Rose to an infernal mutation For my detached shadow wakes Now as a starving conflagration Wake me from this hallucination I can hear the bodies calling Deep within his bowels The hemorrhaging sounds are all in unison As a symphony of howls I can hear the bodies calling Deep within his bowels The hemorrhaging sounds are all in unison As a symphony of howls It hissed and uttered "You'll be the king of ashes, and nothing more" His irate words poisoned the air Approaching me adorned in gore As the floating hell drew near My skin flowed like oil The muscle beneath charred My skull to soften and bend Deformed from the heat of a sun With a monolithic disregard I can hear the bodies calling Deep within his bowels The hemorrhaging sounds are all in unison As a symphony of howls I can hear the bodies calling Deep within his bowels The hemorrhaging sounds are all in unison As a symphony of howls It hissed and uttered "You'll be the king of ashes, and nothing more" Death would not claim me As I was eaten atom by atom Quietly consumed The sun gave me ashes So I sought out the moon

Take me to the divine concept That is not understood by the human eye The place where only a transcendent image will reside The walls softly breathe with life As my heart shudders with misery Cells throughout my flesh vibrate against a devolving visual periphery A devolving visual periphery! My sense of self did not evaporate But merely coagulated into a new form I'm falling through infinity A ruinous purgatory to peacefully deform My hallucinogenic reality Germinates of mold My fragmentation comes With the smell of burning within my own head to behold My skull resonates with a blinding static A buzzing so jagged my eyes weep with hate It drips into the crystalline crypts Beneath the changeless flood My fragmentation comes With the smell of burning within my own head to behold My fragmentation comes With the smell of burning within my own head to behold My skull resonates with a blinding static A buzzing so jagged my ears weep with blood It drips into the crystalline crypts Beneath the changeless flood

I'm condemned to eternally stagger Through a gold-colored winter Alive were the icebound winds Yawning with a grotesque whimper This harrowing cold is the single fiber That tethers a conviction of reality Blood once warm now runs bleak As I reel from a disturbing lapse of gravity Souls stray to this infernal place Feeding on the sorrow-filled moon as its reflection Implants light within the flesh I must unwillingly embrace It wept to me in metallic tongues Uttering abandoned and occult languages Yet, I still understood For I inhaled its thoughts as godlike pathogens Souls stray to this infernal place Feeding on the sorrow-filled moon as its reflection Implants light within the flesh I must unwillingly embrace After examining my being, it spoke "Look not into the colorless eyes For the night spirits have breached their skin And are riding their minds" But I've peered into the forbidden chasm The moon's own pineal eye Forcing my retinas to swivel back Into my skull as the world halts to a grind My soul dislodged and ejected Sanity curdled alike blood And dissolved by design My soul dislodged and ejected Sanity curdled alike blood And dissolved by design
