Relinquishing humanity,
From items of profanity,
Through twisting corridors,
Of calming insanity

"A cacophony of triggered blasts,
Repelled their advance,
Crippled by divinity,
And trampled by a melody of ants,
They fell deaf,
To a chorus of vanity"

Staining throats with bitter notes,
And fueling their depravity,
As engines thrash with metal cries,
Fumes clot the weakened skies,
With chemical equations,
And troubling invasions,
Of self

Taciturn and knocking at another door,
Filling homes with countless scores,
Of broken thugs,
Plaintive drugs,
And holograms of corporate ******,
Trained in only metaphors,
Feeding bits of spinal cord,
To growling hordes,
Of jaded lords,
In ziggurats with gilded floors

So perilous,
This pathway,
Steeped in violent disarray,
Bleeding at the seams,
But gnashing tanks to bits,
With lips of grey,
Urging peace,
Though staunch release,
Plagues its dreams,
Still out of reach,
Today...

Revel in the mists,
Of misdirection,
Deploy the sails,
For course correction

The faithful frill,
They pray alone,
And predicate,
On slabs of stone

Evidence eludes the bleak,
Sacrificial streams and creeks,
Bold-faced lies,
Collude with cries,
To clash with might in endless streaks,
Atop the waning Firmament

The Heavens lash,
In fleeting gestures,
Gods and men,
With equal measure,
Shameless acts,
Of mortal pleasure,
**** the waxing wombs,
To pressures

Worldly claims,
Abate the flames,
Of kinship,
Clans,
And ****** dames,

Bridge the gaps,
Do not embrace,
Write Man his dues,
And fall from Grace,
With pride...

We must prove,
Innocence beyond subsistence,
Amass the cultish mantle,
And forge beyond resistance

All of your ambitions,
Languish here in black and white,
Mental scars on fleeting stars,
To rest upon the night

Sepia tones,
Dispel the anthemic,
Bitter shades,
Scatter the lyrics bare

Notes wrap around the bend,
Rapping with might,
As they mend,
Faith contends with sin,
And rends its neck,
Until the steeple sends,
For mercy
