Consecration of the Heathen Messiah

Fallen

beyond the stillness of the phantom cathedrals of black marble and stone

stood below everlasting grey skies, unchanged by the passing of each eon

past the pillared archways that sheath acidic rains from the towering obelisks

From within the blood-cemented avenue of bone, where looms a throned sphinx

there shone an eye of blistering lament, an effigy of sorrow increased tenfold

through tears shed beneath lowered veils unseen, tainted with amber and gold

dewed cysts of desolation, of a sage whose emprie is extinct, consigned to hereave

at the foot of the heretic prophet, kneeling before the blasphemer

who condemned the fools righteous for his own evil decree

Desecrate. Humiliate. Subjugate

your God of yesterday is dead

From the ashes shall rise an irreverent new Lord

Requiscat. Requiem. Amen

Empty

reaching into the spectral void, he weeps -

the illusory fables of traditional faith torn,

so bleak a chapter carved into humanity's smouldered remains,

for his followers were deceived and so it shall come to pass,

sayeth the law lain down by the dark apostates of old a creed ordained within

the lightless passages of the wayward harbinger's abode

while an elegy is sung in praise of the silent conqueror who denounced

the Falsely pious lord devoid of colour, or form, of substance and name,

the prophet leads forth his bestial hordes as sacrilege bleeds through paradise,

and the gateway crumbles to meet with death's tryst the saviour of mankind

is no more: crushed by the tyranny of the profane as he calls forth

the godless earth to descend into his own hellish abyss

Desecrate. Humiliate. Subjugate

your God of yesterday is dead

From the ashes shall rise an irreverent new Lord

Requiscat. Requiem. Amen

Demoniacal corruption of the subliminal crevices

assimilate the graven flames of hateful bliss

liaison between the heavens unravel and collide

to laws of primal craving and wrath you abide

solace denied in the burning

of thy spirit's wake

isolation. Flesh remains

of your false god forsake

denounce the holy myths

of yore, become a pariah

a banshee's dirge

for the reborn

heathen messiah

Requiscat. Requiem. Amen
