The Lord Of Lasting Twilight

FABLES OF THE ETERNAL WATCHER

A kiss 'neath the burning stars
Is a bedeviled scar on the flesh
Festering and remembering
Those empty promises
Betwixt dying trees whispering

And those whom have witnessed
The Reaper's loving caress
In throes of doves in love
When ravens take their final breath

Legion with seeping lesions
Wailing in their eternal despair
Whimpering and dismembering
To bend a knee in grief
Fealty in the great beast's lair

On ancient scrolls I scrawled
My name in diluted blood
What value do you place
In a broken fraud of a God?
She left me with a scab
Pulsating with fat maggots
How can you worship me
On your knees in holy Sabbath?

I watch the angels fall
Desperately seeking my one true love
Condemning with my lamenting
Lord of lasting twilight
Offering payment in cold blood

But those who have judged me
They have never failed to see
That love that flowed like blood
Was weakness bestowed upon me

But oh, I still remember
Every last teardrop she had shed
Thus proving that the consuming
Masses of fraudulent
Gods paltry, ensnared in their webs

And thus I crawl
To waste appalled
The crimson smear
Written on the wall
And across time
I wait for mine
The morning star
To finally shine

On ancient scrolls I scrawled
My name in diluted blood
What value do you place
In a broken fraud of a God?
She left me with a scab
Pulsating with fat maggots
How can you worship me
On your knees in holy Sabbath?

And thus I signed my name
The lord of lasting twilight
What value do you place
In a creature born of the night?
She left me with a scar
The burning brand of a song
Enchain inner shadows
With the light of eternal dawn
