Does death come alone
Or with eager reinforcements?
Death is centrifugal
Solar and logical
Decadent and symmetrical
Angels are mathematical
Angels are bestial
Man is the animal
I am the victim of lying morality
And so, I am beyond caring
I am born ten thousand times
In ten thousand ways
My head swims in spoilt mother's milk
I am too alive
There are too many of me
Too many to kill
They're in my head
They know my name
My name is death
But I am alive
I am alive
They escaped the weight of darkness
To forge a path into the marrow of the spirit
They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy
An emptiness that quells the null
A pool for the forgotten
They escaped the weight of darkness
To drown in another
Homo deus
By removing death
From our lives
How different has our world become?
We stay young 'til thy kingdom come
Face death, effacing death
From our every day lives
Tell me just how clean have we become?
How safe have we become?
How bleak has it become?
How dead have we become?
The woeful silence and wind's reflection
Of your body's pale ode, an icy fortress of blood and ages
Sky fire above, ice below the hearth
Fall away from me to that citadel at the end of time
Where death sleeps and dreams of your buried pain
There has never been a silence like this before
There will never be an ode like this again
Sometimes I watch her kill
Cold eyes and no restraint
And I wonder how it feels
To annihilate a friend
I want to know exactly what it's going to take
I want to see you insert yourself into glory
I want your touches to scar me so I'll know where you've been
I want you to watch when I go down in flames
I want a list of atrocities done in your name
I want to reach my hand into the dark and feel what reaches back
