Vanishing Spires
O beast, born of swine<br/> Deceased by design<br/> Stillborn from shrapnel’s tears<br/> Once starved, now unleashed<br/> No silence, no peace<br/> Lost savants of misery and fear<br/> <br/> We yearn to extinguish<br/> Or we yearn to be extinguished<br/> Yearn to extinguish<br/> Or we yearn to be extinguished<br/> Yearn to extinguish<br/> Or we yearn to be extinguished<br/> Yearn to extinguish<br/> Or we yearn to be extinguished

And so we gather round<br/> For a pointless requiem<br/> Flowers mark dreams obscured<br/> In confused apathy<br/> <br/> Entranced by concrete lathe<br/> We claim our price<br/> Our writhing husks enthroned<br/> Worms amongst mice<br/> Entranced by concrete lathe<br/> We claim our price<br/> Our writhing husks enthroned<br/> Worms amongst mice<br/> <br/> Bones grind amidst gears<br/> As flesh merges with machine<br/> Converged into human mosaic<br/> Fragmented and obscene<br/> <br/> Entranced by concrete lathe<br/> Immune to pain<br/> Our blood spills on clear paths<br/> We feel the same<br/> Entranced by concrete lathe (is there a point of life)<br/> Immune to pain (when it does not exist)<br/> Our blood spills on clear paths (gaunt shells of carrion)<br/> We feel the same (wrung out to die)<br/> <br/> Thus rests our void memorial<br/> Pawns mourning that which never lived

Arise in dolorous wrath<br/> Echo through vacant paths<br/> Our winds<br/> Care not<br/> <br/> Cursed to watch mock indigence<br/> Malignant aural plagues to entice the sword<br/> Our winds<br/> Care not<br/> <br/> Shadows rise in shards<br/> As masochists descend<br/> Each bleats in haze<br/> Exhumed in role<br/> As larvae amongst snakes<br/> Each bleats - aimless, endless<br/> <br/> Aimless, endless<br/> Aimless, endless<br/> Aimless, endless<br/> Aimless, endless<br/> <br/> Black tempests of promise<br/> Obscure luxe pantheons<br/> With scents of tar<br/> <br/> Aimless, endless blight<br/> <br/> Scar these fissured tongues<br/> Let them mull in blazed sand;<br/> Crystalline embers<br/> To sate new demand<br/> <br/> Denied from service<br/> Devoid of servants;<br/> Void incarnation<br/> In burial’s thrall<br/> Behold the charity of gleaming ash

Grief swarms in full hue<br/> Through anguished, caustic eyes<br/> Born through abscessive disdain<br/> Let there be no more pain<br/> <br/> Remove restraint<br/> Transfer to saints<br/> <br/> Joyous figments surmise<br/> Wrought advancement belies<br/> Disavow your own pride<br/> Freedom, be our true guide<br/> <br/> Remove restraint<br/> Transfer to saints<br/> <br/> Our blasphemous movements<br/> Shall abseil through gods<br/> White maws of iniquity<br/> Relinquished with bile<br/> <br/> Remove restraint<br/> Transfer to saints<br/> Life nullified<br/> Torment denied<br/> <br/> Remove restraint<br/> <br/> Who shall deny (remove restraint)<br/> The lure of heaven’s gates (transfer to saints)<br/> Communed through rope (life nullified)<br/> Toward new altered states (torment denied)

Born cold and still<br/> Wrapped in futile blankets<br/> All hope cut to shreds<br/> As my husk hangs bare<br/> <br/> Aspiring to become<br/> One with the earth<br/> Thankless nutrients<br/> In wait to be absorbed<br/> <br/> Soon I will<br/> Make myself plain and clear<br/> No doubt in your mind<br/> Of my intent as we exit this world<br/> <br/> Vicious lies<br/> Handed down<br/> Tricked me into life<br/> Trapped in a<br/> Drawn out race<br/> As time crawls in despair<br/> <br/> Embrace…<br/> Death, the outstretched hand<br/> Death, the true alternative<br/> The first real breath you’ll take<br/> Death, the guardian of solace<br/> Death, the waxed tranquility<br/> The first real breath you’ll take<br/> ..and so you’ll take<br/> <br/> Descend to gleam<br/> As twilight's corruption fades<br/> Utopia apparent<br/> Inertia incarnate<br/> <br/> Plagues of character remain<br/> Renewed through twisted glass<br/> Offal extruded for vultures<br/> In death I’m free at last

Confined to brightness<br/> No absolution<br/> A covert embrace<br/> True emancipation<br/> Pining for numbness<br/> Or dissolution<br/> You descend to bear<br/> True emancipation<br/> <br/> Rise beyond a world maligned<br/> In vain triumph, we unbind<br/> Ascend to vanish<br/> <br/> Rise beyond a world maligned<br/> In vain triumph, we unbind<br/> Ascend to vanishing spires
