Blackthorn Nemesis Incarnation
I
I am a sapless sapling,
I'm a dead body faking life
Being alone in the species
I lap the bane that time's offering me
Once you've learnt to fly, but now
come learn to crawl in the mud
You long for caresses,
Blow the candles out,
Confide your secrets to the night,
Sins aren't enough to die
He showed me the truth:
Fathers enjoy drinking wine of
Vices, and their children burn in hell...
Sigh.
II
Oh how easy it's to
Lead astray a sheep
Without a shepherd
See it is me, your long lost child
Hooking you with arms open wide
III
I'll be Nemesis for you -
Purple like the war, candescent, hungry
As my blood trills and then
Pours out in a flood
I do love you all more than ever
Bless them
All
Curse them
Slake them
They are
Nothing but sparks
I feel sick and tired of this so-called redemption
I lift up my eyes to the bright shining dome,
And angels are there looking downward to greet me;
My moribund heart, it was their only home
...For the light of this world has defiled us.
We're all under damnation,
Our name is Legion and we are many
Among the coldest stars
