The Stranger - Horrendous

The sleeper awakens

To an estranged abode

Aeons ensconced in Cimmerian shade

A cherub defrocked unearths true grace

Shield my eyes from the light

Innocent retinas deserve no such torture

It derives from hominid hands

The greatest sin of all;

a ruse for feeble minds

We are the Philosophers of Grime

Sovereigns of creation

Eternity ornate

Tending threads with the Fates

Fuck all the angels

Heaven torn down

By frail convictions

Mercy begged through twisted benedictions

Not indiscriminate malevolence

But reason’s new dawn

Stripped of ancient sins

We flirt with the shroud of infinity

Tempting utopia

We bend not but with the cosmic winds

We are sons of the stars

To each, divinity;

unfathomable acuity

The only darkness, a freedom from malicious light

Oracles of the vermillion sunrise
