The Third Injury |
| For ever now man has been lost |
| In comprehensive darkness, seeking control |
| Great minds have flakkered |
| Casting shivering light upon |
| Looming immensity (possibility) |
| Mankind detested what was unveiled |
| For it meant giving up his inbred sense |
| Of superiority being reduced to but a splat |
| In the blackness of the eternal flow |
| Rise above me |
| Chasing shadows through my head |
| Thinning as smoke when I try |
| To grasp what was not meant to be asked |
| Betrayed by origin and belief |
| Humanity now suffered a third great injury |
| Mankind lost his head to the axe |
| Of freudian philosophy |
| You are the keeper |
| You leave the site on burning |
| My only true kin |
| Yet you besiege me with… |
| With doubt |
| For all things lost |
| Come back to haunt |
| With sodomizing threat |
| Crazed by the voices in my head |
| Things new spoiled by regret |
| How he closed his bleeding hands |
| Not willing to give up control |
| Staring disbelieving |
| In the dark nethers of his soul |
| You are the keeper |
| You leave the site on burning |
| My only true kin |
| Yet you besiege me with… (death) |
| In the eye of the storm |
| A sombre scene is set |
| A refuge for a familiar figure |
| Lying petrified on a bed |
| Paled face, eyes wide |
| Staring at the tapestry |
| Of swirling emotions |
| Above his head |
| His white lips open |
| Unable to suppress |
| — a scream — |
| Is this me I’m looking at? |
