Hammer of the Witches

(Death darkens all
Right wing of the garden triptych
Left marks The Fall
The middle ground apocalyptic)


Why slay the grim inevitable
And play out with a whimper?
Pain is raising armies of our faith


Now
The future cows
Before the vows
Prophets thunder from the heavens


We seek to justify
Our seed spread far and wide
The eve that virtue died
Bore witness to this plague


Great Hellscapes rape enflamed horizons


Here....


This the sore beginning
To the war to end all wars


Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, this hate brings fever
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdamerung, the great bereaver


Throw wide splintered lichgates
To the eldritch show's return


Unforgiving proof accrual begs this cruel rebirth
A living fuel for the blaze of renewal, razing the earth
Pariahs and Messiahs of the highest worth
Fodder for the denizens of risen, hissing Hell


Nothing screams out mercy more than
Vivisection of the soul


Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, all base deceivers
Coddle Abaddon
God, you got it wrong, now fall believers


Liars and deniers, thickin the mire's grasp
Treacherous and lecherous


(Peace sits alone
Midst the desecration sewn
Like a stony Queen of Winter, throned)


This the penalty for lust
Long dreaded, read in scripture
Vain pleasures fed to paint this...


Now
The future cows
Before the vows
Prophets thunder from the heavens


We seek to justify
Our seed spread far and wide
The eve that virture died
Bore witness to this plague


Great Hellscapes rape enflamed horizons


Here...


Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, fatal the lever
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, the great bereaver


A twilight for bone idols. sewer-suicidal from the heights
A dead man's stance to prayer, defeaned ears to mortal plights
Pleas and effigues, clergy bang to rites
Belief is superficial when the missals dance alight


(Death darkens all
Ring wing of the garden triptych
Left marks The Fall
The universe is, at worst, ecliptic)
