Upon Your Ashes

With ashes in my mouth, I grieve The stigmata of loss, it reaves A soul lacking traits of humanity Such hecatomb without resemblance Awakens a thirst for vengeance For the anathema that befell me Engulf the world In unforgiving flames I dream of rivers of blood in a never-ending fire This cataclysmic wrath will shatter the Earth under thee Unearthing our nature as slaves of desire A cross to bear in all its unholy profanity Stripped of the fabled veil of wonder That blinds the face of all mankind Finding solace in my insanity Of love and loss I knew enough As all bliss hastily turned to dust All meaning lost through life's opacity I dream of rivers of blood in a never-ending fire This cataclysmic wrath will shatter the Earth under thee Unearthing our nature as slaves of desire A cross to bear in all its unholy profanity A curse upon thee Corrupt child of man For this is the day We will come to end All this hatred Living within Will trigger the coming Of wages of sin A new world so begins Apocalypse dawns from the depths of despair For an accursed race, condemned to decadence A beast awakened, in darkness I dwell Bleeding through the gashes in my innocence Ephemerality flooded by suffering Cleansed in an odious instance The droplets of a dream, fickle as they once seemed Fade into the nether of inexistence
