Shaken from slumber
Split and severed
Blindly they seek
Faded twin, once lovedIn this wounded way
Beast is born
To wander crooked paths
In this way beast is brokenTrailing red in bended grass
An offering to guiding hands
That lift from graves too early
The burning hearts of life
His ghost dissolves in dust
Formless, dragging heels through the dirt
Small clouds
Mark his passing through the house
Here, not here
Watching his ghost dissolveIn the sun
Here
He hovered, he wavered
Not here
Swollen tongue, cut
In the sun, goneAir heavy, knotted
Leaden voice echoesOh, hollow king
Lord of emptiness
Fear as master
Your rule is null
You have been crowned
Hollow King
Hollow KingLaying prostrate, bent and bruised
Seeking succor from the dust
Feast upon barren fields
Consume decayBody spoiled by ravaging lust
A barely beating heart, rotting in its tract
Languish, treading muddied waters
A slow death, assured and commonCrippled soul borne aloft
By Blight's End AngelTo know ceaseless light
And endless death
And into love
Forever be rebornFrom waking dawn
From first drawn breath
I was yours
Ever silent wardThat to which I clung
I was yours
In the quaking pools
Of your gazeShackled and drowned
Thus christened
Son, brother, kingFor what false warmth, weak
For what blinding light, pale
Bodies will we burn?When the mantle of our spirit
Is not our own
We have nothing
We are nothingBegin rites of reclamation
Flames engulf the initiateKneel
Kneel before the raging blaze
Offer the crumbling deed
It ascends as fiery ash
New stars in heavens rebornThere is no deal
There can be no more deal
