Turn aside

Steady eyes belie the fear

(Small hollow words, clatter to the ground)

Broken

Ruin has come, ruin, not fire only

Oh, ashen rain

Only in turgid silence

Hanging, flayed

Oh, submerged in presence summoned

It expands with breath, filling rooms

Welled up from the tar choked springs

Reeking black star, shining weary light

Bloodied eyes, no tears

Bloodied eyes, no light

Know not to what this moment's owed

Only slipping in shuddering dance

Towards cold, radiant dissolve, dissolve, dissolve

Cold, radiant dissolve

Dissolve
