DARK PASSENGER

Obloquy, fruitless deeds
To embrace clemency
�
�
Crawl and cower, sulphur blinds
Wears me down, murder crown
�
�
Their cries of torment
Welcome bereavement
�
�
Felt the worst, in failing health
Dried-up rose, for myself
�
�
Demise of falsehood
Cessation of worth
Bearing words of
Anathema
�
�
I am in need
Watch over me
Profane and corrupt is my soul
Devil inside me
I bear the mask
A burden to wilt, I am shown
�
�
A field of vision
Blurred in my need
Something to conquer
Something to breed
�
�
Never to shelter
To circumvent
My own caldera, lavish
I will be there
To nurture the seed
Progeny of my passenger
�
�
Begotten variegation
Neoteric, built from my flesh
Sweltering ruination
Drapery falls in place
Curtain to cover up
Hellion spine-fed
Miasma pulling you down
And the curtains disappear
�
�
Gloom in the breeze
Casting hope aside, carillon
Guilt in annex, feeding on the smoke
Cost of hate, affixed to your breast
�
�
Felt the worst, in failing health
Dried-up rose, for myself
Mesmeric, the symptoms spread
Words are meek, I�ll never speak
Again
