All Hope In Eclipse |
| All hope in eclipse |
| A thousand nights one succored me |
| In the shadow of miss anne thropy- |
| Sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame |
| A cruel tongue at work in her secret vaults |
| Sent rebellion’s embers into revolt |
| The coming of extinction |
| Synched to whimpers of my name… |
| Legion I arose, a flood of inhumanity |
| An acid reign to purify the world |
| The asp at pharoah’s breast |
| The atom split under duress |
| A sniper at the gates of spattered pearl |
| My heart, torn apart, left a rifled grave… |
| Save for an unfurled flag of hate |
| To enthrall a mindless zombie race |
| All heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine’s gift |
| All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse |
| Black bibles I inscribed |
| The words «damnation throughout design» |
| Seemed a bitter truth far better for the lie |
| For as hope was felled by reason |
| Forlorn became the season |
| And death was swift to swallow on the heels of life |
| Loered souls, growing cold, tendered easy prey |
| When heaven’s flock, a fair game, dropped |
| I bored of war with god with greater thrones to |
| Claim… |
| All heil, all heil, all heil the libertine’s wish |
| All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse |
| (There was not a prayer left in this wretched world) |
| Then between the past and the ravening dark |
| A sly messiah came |
| In the thick of treaty with obligatory greed |
| She stole the soul hate had sold away |
| An ancient chill blew down the centuries |
| That night atonement’s eyes |
| Lit a burning man in me |
| When love lay bleeding |
| And fates safe feeding |
| From wounds gored 'neath |
| Those cherubic wings |
| She of kindred light |
| Gladly sacrificed |
| Eternity |
| Just to be |
| With me |
| As the moon who’s silvered fingers play |
| On words and dreams too cursed for day |
| She led my hand to lands I’d not accrued |
| Where the faun dawn bathed her golden hair |
| And faith renewed, leapt joyous there |
| I praised their worth, then planned their conquest |
| Too… |
| All heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine’s gift |
| All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse |
| All heil, all heil, all heil the libertine’s wish |
| All heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse |
| … And ignorance is truly bliss |
