"Up from cracked earth"

Up from cracked earth
Root of evil, vine of sin
Fallen stars with burnt wing
Shadow and soil and storm

Unmasked with shattering crown
While defiling the seed
And dissecting the creed
Come forth from nothingness

Minds of meek men
Cowardly in the light
Cowering in the night
Lifeless in their shells

Through aeons of dogma
First of hell, then of heaven
Like tempest of golden leaven
Rebirthed to cataclysm

Portals of time once askew
Now corrected and set aright
With the gateways now abright
Come forth, birthing from the earth

"Whirling somewhere"

Whirling somewhere

Up there, there in the night

In the dark of the night

I was drawn to you

Starshine lighting the void

Mind filled with fiery sparks

Portals opened in your eyes

I was drawn to you

Bursts of light, births of stars

So far, so far, up there in the night

Careering elements set aflame

The same that pierced my heart

The same that drew you to me

Just rotations of light

Of stars shining, at the dawn of time

Somehow, somewhere, sometime

I had you, you and I, you were mine

Once upon, when time was not time

Up there, where space stretched

And coalesced our minds

In my hands, in my eyes

Fire and light and time

And you, and you, and you and I

Lost up there, in the night

Just you and me, free of time

Frozen, in motion, on fire

In the light, in the void

Just how it first was, and always was

When something drew me to you

Just rotations of light

Just us, in starshine

"They raised themselves"

They raised themselves to
the purest of all falsehoods.
Just as they raised their guns
to commit the impurest of acts.
With no sight in their sights
but black and white and crimson.
They brought nothing to the world,
and only took away its light.
How brave they thought themselves,
to deal in death, never courageous
enough to come to the table of life.
And as the flowers cried and died
the men in white castles prattled on.
But they only killed themselves.
They only ever kill themselves.

"Death risen from the grave"

Death risen from the grave
Life that extinguishes every beginning
Imperial star shining pure darkness
The void cradling the spark of creation

What came forth from nothing
Became the patchwork of the universe
Dreams assembled from logic
A nightmare construed as a fantasy

The dreamless, the lifeless
The deathless, the less-than-nothing
What came forth from the universe
Became the masterwork of the end
