I rip through the chains of Mars astride his mare and roan (as) war bellows blazing free
II.
that rock, that vicar and that flower today I'll put them to sleep
III.
Your wings have risen up against my foes and Your winds blow into my sail and set me upon this path of burning thorns that bends as the Devil's tail
IV.
open heart closed eyes trembling hands tear apart the chain
V.
what saint's decree can hold me back now that Your name is known to me?
VI.
"for Your chants to reverb on the walls of my mind, their truth diligently unfurled, for the Living Death in grotesque glory to walk, from my dreams into the world"
(preparation)
I.
a bony hand upon my shoulder leads me from day into night
II.
and from the void into the air I follow you sleepily
III.
from the air to the sea I follow you uncertainly
IV.
from the sea to the earth I follow you determinately
V.
through the earth into the fire I follow you confidently
VI.
from the fire into the void I follow you eternally
VII.
within the godhead within the abyss and from on high I reach down into the world
(transcritical bifurcation)
I.
I am thrust through the air, particle swarm, gaining speed, friction builds I am perceived, I go where gravity wills
II.
The sky it yields before my fall, an empty husk, I am fulfilled, and filled with rain a falling moon I neither wax nor wane
III.
as fiery birds crumble and die in the wake of wings, scorching aether, I come along I land in salt (to be) neither psalm nor song
IV.
at grotesque speed I break the glass I am moved through, soul torn apart, blackthorn wreath lungs fill with brine as I slowly slip beneath
V.
a deep blue glow of endless chance sends up its hands, grasping claws, tendrils bore into my skin (and) replace what was before
VI.
I am reassembled through witching love sirens call and pass me by, my ears burst with the force of Death that stills my endless thirst
VII.
it seems as though the open sea, endless void, pregnant with rage, impedes my birth forever lost I set my nails into earth
VIII.
as I writhe over scaly stone coral of blood, exquisite pain, there's not a sound awake I dream that I'm absorbed in ground
IX.
I become aware of intense force choking my lungs, halting my pulse, drowning in mire I pass, like night, from soil into fire
X.
I grasp and reach for nothingness a final death, so loved not mourned, a final test a break of laws at His enduring behest
XI.
chaotic swirl of ravenous flame nuclear decay, dead atom-sphere, unleash hell and from this point time has nothing to tell
XII.
among melting stone my skin retreats magnesium bites, white storm of teeth, into my soul carbon to ash I am swallowed hole
XIII.
I fall into the spaceless space the timeless time the endless end neither here nor there above or below into the night I go
