Close the inner eye

Burst into soothing flames

These vermin in my arteries

Like sweet honey on cracking whips

Unspeakable madness

Executed with such grace

Voices captured and brought to life

Which neck shall be the first?

To snap in these gallows?

A crimson tidal wave is coming

Tsunami of rusty edged blades

Devour the deformed child of hope

Reduce all to a pale dead end street

Clawing the molded walls in despair

Realize that there is no way out

Caught in an ever downward spiral

Bowing before a vile crown of rot

Which neck is first?

To snap in these gallows?

Vermin in my arteries

Freedom always was a doubled edge sword

Curled up and crammed into a corner

Lost and forgotten in the dark.....
