Lava

Death smells like boiled eggs
Death, a hot stove glowing red
Lava, sticky like peanut butter
Lava, the ultimate stonecutter
Anointed in the bubbling lake
Charring lungs asphyxiate
Unlike quicksand, it's instant
Devours whole
No longer existent
Pumice rain engulfs
A mushroom cloud brings tumult
Remains are shells
Rain won't quell
Earth is hell
Burning flesh and melting skin
I submit to the molten king
The messiah deep below
Give my essence to the afterglow
There I'll speak to the magma lord
And bathe in the warmth of the red fjord
Past this life of green meadows
Lava afterlife in charred plateaus
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The serpent is death, the serpent is death
The serpent is life, the serpent is life
The serpent is death, the serpent is death
The serpent is life, the serpent is life
The serpent is death, the serpent is death
The serpent is life, the serpent is life
The serpent is death, the serpent is death
The serpent is life, the serpent is life
The head is death, the tail is death
The head is life, the tail is life
The head is death, the tail is death
The head is life, the tail is life
The head is death, the tail is death
The head is life, the tail is life
The head is death, the tail is death
The head is life, the tail is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death, the lava is death
Death is life, the lava is life
The volcano is death
Death
