Crucifix smeared with coagulation

Stained with frankincense

Hanging from the gallows

Naked like adam

Head in the guillotine

Guilty as eve

Circle of disembodied eyes

Broken and bleeding

Crackling through the air

Like static thunder

Cremation of lingering hope

And the smoke that follows

Mask falling apart

Like its maker

Sky is a dirty mirror

Reflecting sinister revelations

Corrupted prayer

On the bitter winds that blow
