"Laments of The Flayed God"

I drag my skin through endless night
a shredded veil, a ragged blight
Torn once by gods, now torn by me
I pull it close, my misery

The stars are dead—no light, no fire
just twisted limbs, my own desire
I gnaw at wounds that never heal
for here, the dark is all I feel

My bones, they scrape, my flesh is rent
my blood is thick, its taste is spent
I wrap my skin in folds and strands
dragged by trembling, burning hands

I laugh—I laugh!—but none can hear
for madness festers in this sphere
Between the worlds, where life is lost
I wear my ruin like a cross

No death, no end, no silent rest
just flayed, exposed, a broken jest
I hear them still—the voices fade
but whispers writhe where once I prayed

I was a god! A king of light!  
Now I am nothing, lost in night
I tear my face, for it is mine
this hollow mask, this blackened sign

I drag my skin in twisted sprawl
it clings to me, my curse, my thrall
It bleeds, it weeps, but never dies
for here, between the stars, I rise!

Insane, unmade, yet still I crawl
a god who cannot die, but falls
No end, no hope, no final breath
I am the god who flees from death

I drag my skin—my final sin
and hear the void, it calls me in
