duellum

 
awaken my murderous beauty
awaken
for the love of mankind
arise
we must die another day
 
 
i
 
am i human
a divine outcast
within this paramnesia realm
 
i hunger
for worlds beyond rabbit holes
drawing parallels to my downfall
 
forests and power poles
volcanic ash and fly ash
scent of water
taste of breath
everything known seems alien
 
my mind drifts
and i merrily discover
the forceps of truth
transforming mentors into martyrs
stabbing insight
vicious
frenzy
bleeding light
till borrowed wisdom dies
 
 
ii  
 
i am the virgin tied to a stake
eyelids severed
to bare horrors of tranquil seas
 
stitches
mirror
rattles
symbols fall to pieces
scattered shards
offer secret reminders
out of touch
underfoot
 
self pity heals naught
and bliss is
pretending to be asleep at the helm
playing chicken with the moon
 
surrender to illusion
rewind chaos
live as lemmings in reverse
plummet before the sun
and rise
from self destruction
 
 
iii
 
god is a snake
and the snake is good
holy shadow and rainbow serpents
the fibres of life
entwined in infinite space
 
within the dragons womb
a hero is conceived  
 
be the sensitive cannibal
be the merciful destroyer
bend light
behold the creator
 
the universe
the voices
spirits embroiled in dreams
expose their motives
resist your desire
call off the chase
 
paint karmic law
on the door
in blood
as a warning to those who pass
 
siamo colpevoli
siamo colpevoli
siamo colpevoli
 
and there is no coming back
from whiskey
nightmare
war cries  
on the road to oblio
