Solitude whispered deceit Yet not sprung from lying tongues Was the nausea that grew As through unease reason unstrung

Rubescent spirals swelled From burning ruptures aloft
Its eyes - its stare I sense death in the breath of this impasse
Descending - revealing - from the flameborn coil Undeniable - shapeshifting cold images of the past
