On Death's midnight hour I had not dream The days hath gone away -- I couldn't deem That the elder of these angels left the throne And flown so sorrowfully by thee alone -- But thy lonesome soul shall limn to see Not one hovering spirit free -- And where -- shall the asperity scythe cast Over visions of the shadowed Past -- Of torrent of tormenting trauma Filled with Manichaean mount and karma Restlessly rolling down necropolis Past foot-hills of the dread that drop polis -- Or of the sound of a susurrus winged-sylph whom soar Yet thunder her voice in a stricken Lion's roar And uphold herself on heavens vault And dare to curse that its all my fault -- So what now -- what now when the worst Is the Devil's tempest durst To ever define me to what I am today To ever price my soul to what I have to pay When the final price was paid when the Lord bled fast away.
