Saint Catherine Was Excalibur

I always said tether to the void Not any idealistic reason or choice Now suspended I know why I’ve been devoid Because how can one speak with an inside voice Where no one can hear you outside yourself Dawn of this maleficent sentience mind shatter Here the fray was an epitaph of useless matter Hand-forged in this, I saw vigorously vile limbs Skulking skull, sinew, and bone with rictus grins In a cauldron stirs thy spoon, pour primordial ooze Gossamer darkness reigned, unchained and grew Breasts velvet vice, a spark of defiance ignites Die or embrace the nigh, blood and viscera fly Woof Three creations seeped from my bosom’s beat All three necessary, not here as mere playthings Fingers traced my luster for mental fatal frame Soil granules through my fingers wiggle dame, circumvent unkind cycle of fated future slain Whisper from beneath where one floats or sinks Harmonious cacophony to beset the deity's Chthonic desire on earth carmine debauchery, the power of cosmos Where titans slumbered as disembodied heads, dreaming essence murmur tales best left unsaid Seepage terrestrial realm a sarcophagus bled, soothsayer spout vile lips lambent pulsate thrust, lachrymose veins quickened this tryst in hush All attuned to the rhythm of my cadence and will Universe became an instrumental keys of shrieks Dominatrix of umbra lashes up choreographies, as I, maestra of oblivion crafts bile symphonies Mortals are born hollow vessels, khet Seepage a seed to shock, eeb To deliver them enlightenment, ren Ka to ba fuse under shay-oot Fate weaves this vessel’s future Always we await the end of the times The hourglass suspended can be cruel Over time we grew fond of you Love you call it, we call it, bear teeth, weakness Bestow upon you more than trinkets Gave you power limitless, keys unlock cranium Your skull harbors something extraordinary Our penance, your sek-hem The fray has felt a shudder Finger fetter up the neck of a predator Something impending of great strength The ferry has been shattered Styx runs too rapid two cross Cerberus withers away starving Hades hung himself on the faux They crowded at the shore Zombified rictus looking to us for answers Tsk tsk tsk we aren’t allowed to fix Lights shut out and darkness An umbra is coming and you are off balance Empyrean tipped arrows shot in the dark Useless Two eyes flicker Cheshire grin, cackles No ankh no sah-hoo Dead meat
