Nemesis Incarnation

I am a sapless sapling,

I'm a dead body faking life

Being alone in the species

I lap the bane that time's offering me

Once you've learnt to fly, but now

come learn to crawl in the mud

You long for caresses,

Blow the candles out,

Confide your secrets to the night,

Sins aren't enough to die

He showed me the truth:

Fathers enjoy drinking wine of

Vices, and their children burn in hell…

Sigh.

Oh how easy it's to

Lead astray a sheep

Without a shepherd

See it is me, your long lost child

Hooking you with arms open wide

I'll be Nemesis for you -

Purple like the war, candescent, hungry

As my blood trills and then

Pours out in a flood

I do love you all more than ever

Bless them

All

Curse them

Slake them

They are

Nothing but sparks

I feel sick and tired of this so-called redemption

I lift up my eyes to the bright shining dome,

And angels are there looking downward to greet me;

My moribund heart, it was their only home

…For the light of this world has defiled us.

We're all under damnation,

Our name is Legion and we are many

Among the coldest stars
