Of Temples and Vultures
At the periphery of my soul's cave<br/> Greater than mount of everlasting pilgrimage<br/> Lies the one who tides my sanctimony in darkness<br/> <br/> Like a man of broken consciousness I hover between the prey and the archer<br/> Molding the clarity of thoughts into the white void of turmoil<br/> <br/> Like a beast of blind empathy, I wander the worlds beyond formation<br/> Conveying the incubus into the crux of turmoil<br/> <br/> Like a beast, alike a man<br/> <br/> Ye shall bring the waste of light<br/> Thou, the divine incarnation of chaos path<br/> <br/> Yet, should I seek the sterility of the pale heavens<br/> or become one who brings the fertility to the murk nebula?<br/> <br/> Grave murals, my distant thoughts, those of the unblessed,<br/> who unveil the lure of the white dim.<br/> Sail the worldly dungeons...bring me the clarity of the Lucifer's cell

I came to the point of no regret, nothing can cease the pain<br/> In vain my sacred bones shattered lay, astray<br/> My strength faded away beyond the shores of salutary light<br/> As the last of shadows estranged outward the shining night<br/> <br/> Making the bones of those who drowned into the sins of mortals<br/> Coursing the wind into the sail of immortality<br/> Crossing the waters and the sempiternal waves of the pus<br/> Overcome the storm divine<br/> <br/> Elder Venom, the spiritless kind<br/> Transcendental elixir of the extinguished sun<br/> <br/> Lamentable plateau - prescience and devour<br/> <br/> I detest regrets as nothing can cease the pain<br/> Amidst the point of no return my eyes are shut, there's no light<br/> Mouthless drunk the poison inside the molten catacomb of the mind<br/> Fleshless stand alone, condemning those who preach the tongue of antidote<br/> <br/> Came the hour for the mordant man to walk the flames in abundance of passion<br/> Seeking the vibrancy of the unclean conception

All was written in the deciphered manuscript<br/> About the savage havoc who threw the torches fit<br/> <br/> Such fire that restlessly spread<br/> In sulphurous streams of crimson red<br/> Appeared malice in the shape of a head<br/> Loathsomeness overtone, howling through sand<br/> <br/> Presence of intruding horror which stung the nightmare deeply<br/> Shivering sparks of calmness and delusion<br/> Nature of strange evil so vaguely threatening<br/> Reality of piercing dread reeked of unidentifiable stench<br/> <br/> The void-mouths abruptly shut<br/> Ghastly sight of volcanism<br/> Dire disclosure of ravaging doom<br/> A wolf coddled in red and gloom<br/> <br/> The one who caught thee out of guard<br/> Set a blaze on thy temple and walked the dark stretch through the night<br/> Treat of being devoured - never to come back

Night became abruptly cold<br/> Anger shivered in grotesque stance<br/> No trace of herald to such monstrously carven wound<br/> Headless mystery on a mount tottering in ruins<br/> <br/> What came from the shadows?<br/> Grinning mouth of the murk<br/> The phantasmal curtain of red-eyed sophistication<br/> Brought us hideous and direly doom<br/> <br/> Legions of thus sickening odour<br/> Vapours of the feverish heights<br/> Crypts like wings of the night-marchers<br/> Subterraneous psora hovers the ominous sight<br/> <br/> Sounds of ardour, the hypnotic dance of the snakes<br/> All in vicious glance of the dead divinity<br/> Yet, all that bound the heartless darkness up the ruins<br/> Lies now beyond the wings of infinity

On the night of which I speak<br/> Headless perdition brought the anger<br/> Silent voice of hallucination<br/> Eyes commenced to bleach<br/> <br/> On the night of which I speak<br/> A fiery beast rode the tombs<br/> The ghoulish embrace of crawling shadows<br/> Eyes commenced to bleach<br/> <br/> A dark specter of dim flame<br/> Expelled the spirits off the shrine<br/> <br/> Glance at flamed out shroud<br/> Detached the cadaver ground in bliss<br/> A soul-shattering advent<br/> The headless mystery dance amid the crypts<br/> <br/> I have feared the darkness gaping <br/> The ghost occupant asleep or awake<br/> Atrocities and terrestrial caging<br/> Sorcerer colossal in fiery lake<br/> <br/> Enslaved the spirit in sensation of wrath<br/> At the entrance none have stood but the epoch of a blaze<br/> Salted wound and the headless perdition<br/> Soul commenced to gaze

Whispering trance, several voices at once<br/> Deliberation of havoc, penetrating chaos in dark stance<br/> <br/> The ghastly moaning of winds, several blows at once<br/> Delved in this abyss, dissonant lament in the distance<br/> <br/> Anomie tethered to life,t he salutary daemon<br/> Miasmal spiritless kind, furor of evil<br/> <br/> Dark cloud shackles in troubling my sleep<br/> Traveler of monstrosity, a sensation of nightmare deep<br/> <br/> At the rim of twilight, shaking sights collide<br/> Piercing valley of desolation, several buries at once<br/> <br/> Untamed moon shriveled and blacken<br/> Eye red, shining through broken bones<br/> Torrent of malice engulfed with vehemence<br/> Baleful ascension coming, several shivers at once
