ROSE OF PERDITION

I see them all lined up, the ghosts of the past
Waiting for me beside the guillotine
Their unforgiving eyes boring into mine
As they usher me unto my own doom
 
The wolves are salivating
As they pull on rusting chains
Haunted howling at my door
Gnashing against freezing rain
 
Hallowed be thy torture, grotesque be the saint
Find myself at home beside the sinners
There’s not enough blood to drown away my woes
I find it a struggle to stand up straight
 
The spirits are diluted
As they feed beds of roses
I cannot lay down to die
My body decomposes
 
At home in Perdition
Cradle from the grave
Sacrifice another
Eidolon to honor me
And cast a stone
Eonian is eternal
 
A frigid wind cutting from the lowest depths
Scattering the embers and the ashes
The devil listens to all my confessions
Because God just doesn’t care anymore
 
Writing the gospel of Hell
Upon your marble tablets
My hands bleed from the chisel
Necromantic my laments
 
At home in Perdition
Cradle from the grave
Sacrifice another
Eidolon to honor me
And cast a stone
Eonian is eternal
 
i pull myself across glass, volcanic
as the ground siphons my blood, vampiric
suffering is an art form, poetic
malice becomes salvation, sadistic
 
Murder and the thunder
Echoes on my grave
The Rose of Perdition
Eidolons awaiting me
To curse my name
Purgatory is infernal
 
Carrion calling my name
Maggots pulsating my shell
As I crawl towards the flame
The devil of my own Hell  
 
At home in Perdition
Cradle from the grave
Sacrifice another
Eidolon to honor me
And cast a stone
Eonian is eternal
 
Place another rose on my grave
In Perdition
