THIS WRETCHED PHAGE

Darkness reigns like the memory of love
Heartfelt and cold with the caress of shadow

My last friend is the beast that thrives
With murderous intent, the knife in the night
Feeding demons without consent
Configuration of cenobite laments

Cage me inside a wrought iron cell
The demon speaks to my bitter phage
Is this my own personal Hell
To speak venom on this wretched page?

My fiend is the ghost at my tomb
Sacrilege galore beneath the haunting moon
Those lonely spirits I implore
Desecrate the holy shrine that I abhor

Madness reigns with the memory of pain
I wait in chains beneath shadows of remains

Cage me inside a wrought iron cell
The demon speaks to my bitter phage
Is this my own personal Hell
To speak venom on this wretched page?

This wretched phage

The thunder resounds
‘cross burial grounds
Awaken the dead
With songs of the dead
Tasting the decay
Deep within the grave
And when Heaven dies
The devil may cry

With tears of joy

This wretched page

Nothing will remain
After cleansing flames
Bitter be thy pill
Cursed be thy quill
Inked with angel blood
‘fore the eye of God
Awash in the plague
Phantasms on page

This wretched phage

Cage me inside a wrought iron cell
The demon speaks to my bitter phage
Is this my own personal Hell
To speak venom on this wretched page?

This wretched phage
Will never rest in peace
