Submerged in water where blood turns black in the moonlight

Only in the moonlight can one reach nocturnal clarity

And these pillars which line the sky

Bellow and belch all things vermin

Ready to destroy that which makes mankind the weakest link

We only care after the fact

The eternal struggle to strike a balance

Between the selfless and the selfish

Each our patterned out in the pulse of nightly withdrawal

Bloody emesis, following the footprints into silent eternity

Hand in hand with the ghost of eternal solitude
