Heaven Wept

Beneath the glistening waves of onyx
Their eyes transfix my gaze
Pallid bloated faces beckon me to join their watery grave

Diluvial
The wrath of God cannot be quelled
Invocation
The ills of man have ushered in their utter end

Then came the storm
A burgeoning tempest, holy and relentless
Heaven wept and its tears assailed the earth
Guided by the gale of a thousand furious angelic wings
This was the day of reckoning
Hysterically they begged for shelter but I showed no mercy
Wailing mothers, lost children and condemned men
Let loose a dirge of primal terror
Until water arrested their lungs

By the light of day these horrors seem a distant dream
Come nightfall my mind is lost upon sunless seas

Beneath the glistening waves of onyx
Their eyes transfix my gaze
Pallid bloated faces beckon me to join their watery grave
Their lurid requiem echoes through every broken wave
Eating away at my sanity
Just as the land was devoured by the cavernous sea

We are the last of men whose gift of life is an incubus

Beneath the glistening
Beneath the glistening waves of onyx
Their eyes transfix my gaze
Pallid bloated faces beckon me to join their watery grave

A sickening crash left me in abject terror
Frozen in a living nightmare
I realized that the phantoms lurking in dark water gave bewitched more than just me
Hypnotically, one by one, my family plunged
Into the abyssal trench to sink forever
As human silt amongst the filth
Wiped from the face of the earth

Left alone, a broken shell drowning in grief
Called once more to the Stygian deep
Where the faces of my fallen family plead for me to join them
To embrace oblivion, and I want nothing more
Than to be one with the depths
Below

Beneath the glistening waves of onyx
Their eyes transfix my gaze
Pallid bloated faces beckon me to join their watery grave
