More than a reflection Less than a shadow Disturbing presence Distorts the heaving space Nascent it seethes Occult form Bends the mundane world Reality’s fabric torn A wound cascading time Bleeds annihilation Day light shuns Its uncanny absence Approaches inexorable intelligent malevolence Approaching inexorable malevolence Approaches inexorable intelligent malevolence Approaching inexorable malevolence Not the tale of dying flesh But the memory Of a will to defy The absurdity of existence Compelled into nothing Terrifying prospect Never more asleep No longer intoxicated But sobered with dread Approaches inexorable intelligent malevolence Approaching inexorable malevolence Amorphous shape into which I project Fear and loathing ambition regret The face of an idol mistaken for a god Radiant like an angel yet smeared with blood Amorphous shape into which I project Fear and loathing ambition regret The face of an idol mistaken for a god Radiant like an angel yet smeared with blood Amorphous shape into which I project Fear and loathing ambition regret The face of an idol mistaken for a god Radiant like an angel yet smeared with blood Amorphous shape into which I project Fear and loathing ambition regret The face of an idol mistaken for a god Radiant like an angel yet smeared with blood More than a reflection Yet less than a shadow Its disturbing presence Distorts heaving space A wound cascaded through time Bleeding annihilation Nature’s futility Resolved into nothing

Like a baleful comet Scorching the celestial sphere Risen above obscurity A malignant poet, the prophet of woe His iconic career Cut short by suicide Music to quicken the blood Beguiling us with horror Each work spawned a genre in emulation Lightening rod for dissatisfaction The anguish of his time Tortured by genius Alluring notes wrung from riven flesh Tormenting charisma Possessed by memories of the damned I swore an oath on his tomb To trace tragedy from its ebb And purge his legacy The wearying journey Closes on desolate waste Where he did confide Demons had assailed him Night descends limbs ache grief Caste in dolorous hue A blasted heath swept by gales Fallow and despised Tortured by genius Alluring notes wrung from riven flesh Unnerving dissonance Echoing from each incidental sound Of this infernal place Wit to delude despairing hearts A consuming obsession His diabolic music Is a cacophony of all who suffer Obnoxious scrub snares my feet The ground subsides beneath A fissure yawns into a chasm Opening on hell Demonic voices screaming Infest malignant motes Lacerate flesh of nerves transfixed In apoplectic terror My bone’s marrow chills Strident gasps fall faint Deafened by the urgency Of this haunted space Wailing torment Polyphonic lament Alluring notes wrung from tortured flesh A chorus of hate
