Ash Is Falling Rain

Blackened skies surround me

When I cut my veins

Everytime it is the same

Ash is falling rain

But why?!

Floating down to the earth

Burnt human remains

Choking all who inhale

This ashen falling rain

Wading through the sea of black

The mothers hunt their young

As starving beasts, a carnal curse

Apocalyptic dwellers, thin and gray

A fertile seed in the darkness

Peering out through the open membrane

All is lost, it's raining death from the poisoned clouds

Breathe it in, feel it burn your lungs

As you choke up blood, it starts to drain from your ears and eyes

In time this will come

Feel it well, staring down at all the rest

In agony, all but me

Sunken eyes, still and blank in the darkness

It's all the same in my dreams

With blazing eyes I crawl out from the womb

With two clenched fists full of her guts

I start to breathe, I inhale everything

A hint of death blankets the air

But why?!

Wet with blood, it's clotting up at the moment

I've seen the eyes of the dead

I have traveled back from the brink of forever

I am alone in this world

Now I know, now I know what I must do

I will go deeper still

I will journey back to the sea of the ashes

And see what will become
