Alchemist III
In spilled curses where you name me
In basins splintered by design
Visions of what is and will be
I feel my smoke, your breath
In every smothered line
On mountains of vessels buried
On crimson hilltops grinning low
Falling beneath labors carried
If it leads me to Hell
On your word I will go
When all the voices are boring
We hear the delight of the gun
When all these worlds crumble away
I return to the only one
With all our talk of morning
We sure like to hide the Sun
With all our secrets sating Fate
I am dead to you or none
From flame that sings behind the door
From wounds which lick back tenderly
Embrace the chaos we yearn for
Or innocence turned black
From form missed sincerely.
