Hegemony
Awaken in a hexahedron A single hatch on each face No memory of arrival Controlled induction of retrograde amnesia The first dies sliced Ensnared within the twisting wires Motion and sound Chemical sensors detect the beings within The next one dies Acidic substance eats to the bone The edge is reached A sarcophagus 400 square feet One man breaks. Murderous impulses, crippling paranoia Psychotic delusions of a master plan Cubes positions shift Permutations mark the moving points in four dimensions A paradgim shift Astronomical calculations to decompose the composite number A rush to escape, as time runs thin Follow the path the numbers lead Impaled, from the back through the chest Stabbing wildly, with rage unfurled Trapped between two cubes The bridge shift slices his torso in two

Look over the battlements At the burning countryside There the army of wicked madness Besieges this castle of will Feel the frozen wind From the bleak outer world The banner twists in agony Tortured from the world around The wind seeps through the walls Whispering revelations of despair It skulks in high lofted ceilings A messenger of the fallen realm The moat displays whitened bloated corpses A cesspool where the slain float For miles back their casualties are strewn Ours burn on pyres smoke replacing sky Listen to the sound of the pounding Battering rams Their black winged echoes Fly down these desolate halls Each catapult stone defeats the walls We labor to repair what falls upon us The bringers of insanity Dance bizarrely In celebration Of their coming conquest Look and see their campfires Like obscene stars fallen to the ground Wallow in dread at the moment's peace For the battle always resumes No shining army will rush to our aid We are to die in this crumbling tomb I'm being driven mad Specters of bitterness and confusion circle my head The mist goes in my ears and exits my mouth And within they destroy all they can The bringers of lunacy have breached the walls Remnants of innocence put to the sword Engulfed into the kingdom of the mad My psyche lays in ruins but now I'm born
