OF GRANDER VISIONS, DELUSIONS ABOUND

 STARK CONJURATIONS, AND THE MEANS UNSOUND

 IN THE COMING SWARM OF MY THOUGHTS I'M FOUND

 UPON BROKEN PILLARS OF DOUBT AND DOWN

 ON FRACTURED LIMBS WOUNDED LEFT TO CRAWL

 THROUGH THE WASH AND TIDE, ENGULFED AND SPRAWLED

 OUT BARREN, BLEEDING, RIPPED OPEN, ALL

 TO THE ENDLESS OCEAN, ON MY BACK I CALL

 TOSSING IN ITS THROES AGAIN

 TRANSPOSING PROSE TO VERSE

 PREPARING FOR THE WORST AGAIN

 SO DO YOUR WORST

 NO BORROWED TENETS OF CORRODING FAITH

 JUST CONTRADICTIONS AND ERODING SHAME

 IN OF WHAT WAS NOTHING, NOW IS EVEN LESS

 IT'S MY DYING HOUR, NOTHING TO CONFESS

 BORN ADRIFT IN A FLOODING PLANE, ROTTING STENCH IN A FORGOTTEN WRECK

 RECEDING WATERS, FERMENTING FLESH

 OPPRESSIVE SICKLE NOW REAPING DEATH

 LITTERED CARCASS, BONE AND DUST

 WOUNDED SKY RAINING WILL TO RUST

 IRON CORE STRUCK AGAINST THE STONE

 TATTERED, BROKEN, STREWN!

 DARKENED SKIES, FIXED TO PEN LAMENT

 HAUNTED VIGIL, NO RELENT

 SEEDING VENGEANCE, BLEEDING WRATH

 FIXED UPON THEIR BATTLEMENTS!

 NOW THE DROUGHT HANGS HIGH AND FREE

 IN THE SEARING SUN, SUPREMACY

 NO MERCY, SANCTUM, NO RETREAT

 JUST MY ISOLATION AND THIS DECREE

 OH BIRDS OF PENANCE, CRASHING DOWN ON ME

 STRIKE AT MIDNIGHT, SET ME FREE

 INTERNAL BLEEDING FASTER DROWNING ME

 DESPERATE MOON RETURN TO ME

 TOSSED IN ITS THROES AGAIN

 TRANSPOSING PROSE TO VERSE

 PREPARING FOR THE WORST AGAIN

 SO DO YOUR WORST
