Lurid Canticle

Walking among the graves
There is not a more calming place
Dig into the earth as you have my soul
And I will fill the space

 

Bury me before I welcome the light
It’s hell in its own florescent sight
Darkness is exceeding its radiance
Mocking it with its rhythmic dance
Whirl around me and encircle me
Teach me your pleasant melody
Welcome me to your world
I am with you

 

Release my toxins into the earth
I am poison to her
Pollution in its fatal rage
Obliterating all with immortal hate
Choking life from their throats
Taking breath with its smoke
Inhale the venomous fumes of fatality
And add yourself to the list of casualties

 

In a world of undying paranomal bonds

Light a candle to inflame the taunt

Let the blood drip from your wrists

And allow yourself to fall into the darkness

The heat of its disease will welcome you

And you will accept it
