The Heavens fade to black;
Angels wail as they burn and fall into the sea,
Blood and bones cover the ocean floor;
Watch the empire of Indulgence writhe and bleed,
Let the tears of glee run down your cheeks,
Unholy hymns of victory fill the stormy sky.
Devil’s crown rests upon the severed head of God,
Knights in service bow to me;
The highest angels impaled on stakes for all to see,
Sorrow blooms into delight: a flower of infernal light,
The death of love brought forth this monumental maelstrom.
Compassion ever so pure was torn asunder;
A soul so deeply enamored wept to me to hear its plea,
To bathe those who stole its other half in fires of white;
With its prayers and cries, I lit the night: a triptych
Painted with embers and blood;
When dawn arises all of Heaven will be gone.
Written for the girl I've loved for the past 12 years, a reflection of the anguish I felt when she had to leave when we were 15 years old.
