Ashes

Encapsulate the night! 
wrap up the truth in candy-striped paper 
and throw us a blood-sodden 
torn and holey 
rotten through the core 
party 


I stand with you now, my friend 
My razor tongue is licking your rosy cheeks and battered ears 
I whisper sordid secrets that are neither true nor false 
I hold your hand in defiance 
Amplify your feeble voice against evil 
I hold your spine and shake most violently 


The silver light is overthrown 
Rejoice with me 
for we have denominated the devil 
(And I shall get to fulfil my own) 


When I die, I slay a hundred 
When I die, I raise a thousand 


Rejoice with me 
for we have denominated the devil 
(And I shall get to fulfil my own) 


Every bullet hole in our holy town 
is an orifice for me to rape 
every woman slain is my whore 
and every precious child crying 
a golden orb of fire 


I stand with you now, my friend 
I nibble at your earlobes 
till they bleed the truth divine 
Smear my name in their fearful faces 
I hold your hand in vengeance 
Your muffled words are a horrid 
choir across the sea 
This licking pyre cannot be douted by 
their tears
