Shift

In defiance of nature
I stand here, before you
Shove your head below the water line
And force you to see your last choices
Choose your poison, what’s your passion
Blasphemous Scream, or fading whisper
I silently watch your deicide
Can you hear my subtle laughter
As you accept sacrilege with a smile
So ignoble, you call me heathen
To your ignorant ears
The truth is pagan rhymes
Kill me feel me suck me dry
This, your last chance for lost logos
Bleeds away, fades away
Do you miss the way
That died with me
I left you there
A blink away from suicide
A blink away from being perfect
Enamored by your own heresy
Will you still be waiting there
For the resurrection of your wilting rose
Watching the locusts consume your graveflower
While the sacrificed lamb breaks and pours
Seven seals and seven bowls
Sealing your oblivion
Dictation of your fate
I watch the tear bleed down your cheek
As the purest flower blooms
The single black seed from the single black lotus
Blossoms from the ashes of the past
In fulfillment of the scriptures
Amen.
