Draws the dusk through the eyes of an insect

 Salivates for the whore Echidna

 Thirsty glance up the sunlit towers

 Leaves it doomed and broken in the end

 She is no deity, no saviouress

 Not in her monumental splendour

 Not in her ashen malice

 And as the Maere on a stillbirth's tomb

 Once again, her virgin dress is draped with shreds of flesh

 Mildewed prison, candlelit barely

 The whore Echidna, suckling

 A salacious glare in its eyes

 Sore limbs, sore teats, savage tongue...

 She is no deity, no saviouress

 Not in her monumental splendour

 Not in her ashen malice

 And as the Maere on a stillbirth's tomb

 Once again, her virgin dress is draped with shreds of flesh

 Regurgitate with greed

 She won't let it starve..

 Six legs lead it astray...in circles...astray...in circles...astray...astray...astray...astray...

 Has it now passed the years that could have left it blind...?
