And unburied slain...

this isn't meWhat am I doing? This
Isn't me. I'm watching myself
Commit the unthinkable in
The name of duty and

And they approach their deliberation
The verdict can be either good...

Rose Red Pyre Black PetalsVisceral incantation from onyx velvet lips,
moan, groan, to twist my bits as a witch.
Salem pyre ancient oak standing the edifice,
wrist shackled chains gather round vile cultist.
Breast bang dolorous dirge ignition of limbs,
Rictus permeated rancor give...

The Weight of TimeI feel the weight of time
Pressing down on my neck
I thought the weight of
stress would dissipate
with time
but the frosting
no longer tastes
better than the cake.

As My Body RotsAs I succumb to the wounds you've inflicted
gasping for air, for life,
eyes bloodshot, cheeks wet,

my crimson seeping into the sheets.
What will you...

Another Midnight MassacreAll through wee hours of the morning
Laminga wail their missing persons, mourning
And the track road leading into Amurum forest

Looting and destroying city's core,
Youth, in their recklessness, yearn for war.

Can truly cherish peace...
