Chalice ov Rebirth

My hands sift through the plinth of ashes of the innocent who've been sacrificed to the tyrannic skies
Metacarpals no longer deform in a programmed reach for paper

Tyranny smogs the land
No light shall be seen as long as it remains
The Earth is crumbling beneath the greed and ego fed rats

Servant minded drones
Abandon purity's promise
Bury every idea that this place would change
You've earned the sear of my hand

The end of breath
Stand in the way of their lives' completion
And let the abysm corrode, leave them to cry and suffer alone
Homes obliterated
Families maliciously pulled beneath the surface

Abandon purity's promise
Bury every idea that this place would change
You've earned the sear of my hand
The end of breath

Stand in the way of their lives' completion
And let the abysm corrode, leave them to cry and then suffer alone

Watch them beg for air and
Wrench their way out
Outward bleeds their own contempt
Steal them of faith
Terrorize the living filth
Watching their fortune dissipate
Watching their skin torrefy
The heartless, choking on the beating hearts of their loved ones
